The title of this post pretty much says it all. Today was the one week weigh in for my Weight Watchers program, (I do the WW program at home) and I have lost a total of 7 lbs.  This is very encouraging, I can’t wait to see the numbers drop more.  For those of you who have kept up with my blog, I am now at the same weight as my husband Robbie, WHOOOHOOOO.  Although I should not way the say as a 6’3″ man I am very excited to no longer weigh more than him.

Today is my day off from the gym but the Weight Watchers continues. Wish me luck and my God Bless your day and your life.

Back to the Gym

God, gym, photography, weight loss

Okay, So I have made it to the gym 3 times this week. I was a little concerned with how I would feel my first day back and whether or not I would be able to maintain the level of intensity on the treadmill that I had left off at.  Well I am excited to report that I picked up right where I left off but instead of a 20 minute cardio workout I am doing a 15 minute cardio (treadmill) warmup then my weights and then a 15-20 minute cardio workout again on the treadmill.  I also just picked up the timex heart rate monitor on sale at costco and I love it. This monitors my heart rate so i can see how hard I am working as oposed to just thinking I am working hard.

Tomorrow is my official weigh in day however I did sneak onto the scale yesterday and noticed that I was down to 192.8 wich is only 1 lbs from catching Robbie.  So unofficially (since it hasn’t been a week yet) I have lost 6 lbs. YEAH!!!

I haven’t forgotten that I said I would post photo’s either, I am just working up the nerve so please be patient.

Make it a good day and God Bless.

Weigh In

Yikes!!!!

So I weighed myself this evening so I would have a starting point for my weight loss and much to my distress I top out at 198 lb.  For those of you who don’t know me, I am 5’5″ and a little more, so I should not weigh that much.

My husband brought home a scale for me to use and before I used it he weighed himself. Get this, my 6’3″ husband weighs in at. . . . . 191 lb. yes you read that right I weigh more than my husband.

So I have found more motivation, to be healthy, to get fit, and to weigh less than my husband.

I am also going to post my starting measurements now, so please have some compassion.

I am startled and surprised to find that my waist measurement is 40.5″ and my bust (in a tank with built in bra) measures at an alarming 43″.  Although the bust does not alarm me as much (I just weaned my son from Breast Feeding so expected a large number) I am very surprised at the overall size I have achieved. This will serve as further motivation for change.

Okay, so I have been going to the gym regularly for the last 4 or 5 weeks; however I haven’t been able to work out for the last 2-3 weeks.  I am posting my intent to get back to the gym as well as to restart weight watchers in the hope that it will give me the strength I need to commit to a life change.

Please feel free to share your own struggles with weight or other changes you wish to make in your own life.  I intend to chart my progress on here as well in the hope of staying the course.  I will start Monday, Jan. 5th with my beginning weight and stats as well as a photograph. Please show some compassion as I update the blog.

HAPPY NEW YEAR it is going to be a great one!!!

One of the wonderful things about being a mom and a photographer is that I have the best models right here at home.  These images are from a recent trip we took to Canon Beach.  My 8 yr. old niece came to visit from Alaska and she is just wonderful to photograph, her and my daughter Kendall had a wonderful time together.

Hard to believe she is only 8
