Will It Stop?

Here I am....20 pounds lighter and now I'll see if I'll lose any more weight.  My PCOS has always kicks into full gear at this point and shut down any and all weight-loss so...this week will tell if this diet is really going to work against it or will this be like every time before. I know PCOS is a hurdle that those of us who are affected by it never get past but I still have a good attitude. Whether I lose any more weight or not...won't derail me from keeping my focus on the most important aspect of this entire journey for me....to just live as Healthy as I possibly can.  I won't lie though...I'm hoping with all hope that this all will actually keep working. *crossing fingers! =)

The First BIG 20!

YES YES YES! I have lost my first 20 pounds! WHOOP WHOOP! I'm so happy this all is working for me and I really have hope back in my heart again that I can truly rid myself of this weight. I'm so very thankful that I've found my personal solution to this PCOS burden of weight-loss resistance! I'm working very hard and I've enjoyed almost every minute of it. I've never felt better in my life and I can't believe how much energy I have.

The foods I'm eating now are so yummy but this is NO diet...it's a change of lifestyle.  We are eating "Clean" and we got rid of many starchy carb foods. I eat something every 3 hours, drink lots of cold water, and exercise (running/weights/aerobics) every day, to keep my metabolism up and running. It's wonderful! Goodbye you nasty 20 pounds...I got lots of your ugly friends to work on now to join you! =D

Um....WOW! =)

Ok...I know that most people know this and I've even seen it on occasion through the years but now that I'm losing the weight...it amazes me how big it really all is! I found this pic of 1 pound of fat and I've lost 18 of these! It feels Awesome!  =)

This is pretty cool too and I'm keeping it in my mind as I push my workouts every day! 

18 Pounds!

I finally lost two more pounds! That's 18 total so far! Yay! This is week 5 so hopefully in the next two weeks I will hit my first 20 pound weight loss!  I'm crossing my fingers and eating my Bananas! LOL! =)

Joe and I ran our block again last night and I was finally able to run the entire .25 mile without walking and the remaining .25 mile I only walked HALF! Our block is on an nice incline so that made it even a MORE triumphant moment for me! I kicked BOOTIE!! Go Angie Go Angie! LOL! =)

Another 5 days!

Another 5 days and the scale is still stuck. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!  I'm seriously just going to have to get used to this struggle although I seriously HATE IT! Ugh! I'm eating right and working out hard 6 days a week, including my wonderful running, sooooo....sooner or later...it WILL move again. Ha! Living life without the guilt each day feels pretty dang good though...even if the scale is determined to fight me for every pound! Healthy = Happy! =)

Never Thought I'd Say THAT! Ha! =)

So today I got done running my usual 10 min and I hadn't really broke a good sweat yet so...I just kept running until I felt those beautiful beads run down my cheek.  I'm now at 15 min to get that good sweat going and then did my 10 min of weights! Yep...10 minutes running just isn't cutting it anymore! Never thought I'd be sayin' THAT! HA! It's a wonderful Friday! Whoop Whoop! =)

Finally....it moved!

For a week now I have been staring at the scale....hoping each time to see something different and yet....each time....nothing.  I was frustrated but I refused to let my PCOS weight-loss hurdles get me down.  I kept working out and I kept running because this is all about being healthy more than losing weight. Yet, today, it finally changed and I can't help but be super excited about it! I lost 2 pounds! That's a total of 16 pounds so far! Yay Me! Hehehe! =)
