Week Three (Warning Worst Picture EVER!)

Where in the world did this week go? I can’t believe it’s already time to post a new one of these.

Waist: 52 inches
Bust: 49 inches
Hips: 59 inches
Thigh: 32 inches
Arm: 21.5 inches

Etc:: Well as I said before, I’ve got a wedding to get ready for, not my own unfortunately.  But as a bridesmaid, I gotta get busy. So I’ve gone to 2 Zumba classes in a row. I’m already feeling the “burn.”

PS- I am soo sorry about the horrid quality of this picture, I forgot that I needed a picture and we haven't had the camera out at all (well at least no where near focused on me). So I had to take one early this morning with my phone. And it is obviously NOT an Iphone. 

Memory Walk...

Because I always slack on the weekend, and just do a round up post at some point between Sunday night and Monday morning, here we go.

I  have almost no clue what I did on Friday night.

Saturday morning we did the Memory Walk in Evansville.  We do the Memory Walk, because my mom is specialized in Alzheimer’s and dementia care. And when I worked in the nursing home, I worked on the dementia unit.  And the whole disease is absolutely devastating.   Not to mention Maria Shriver has anew initiative about it.  The funniest part was watching Cat dance in the walk to the drummers.  She’d just start to drop it low.  It was hilarious, and of course we left the cameras in the van.. Cause we’re smart like that.

After hitting up Bob Evans and the mall, we came home, and putzed around.  I’m not a hundred percent sure what all we did. But I know some pumpkins got decorated and I made Ree’s Cinnamon Roll dough.

Sunday I made the mini monkey bread cupcake thingers, and they were delish.  And after church I made chili , using Lawry’s spice package, and it was delish.

I made some delish cornbread to go with it.  It was GREAT.  Just mix a can of whole kernel corn, and some cheese with 2 boxes of Jiffy Corn Muffin mix.  And it’s awesome.  Just try it, just once and let me know what you think, and how thankful you are. Because it’s AMAZING, and you will be thankful.

And on a whole different note.  One of my best friends is getting married. Oh and I’m in her line up. Oh and it’s in May, not the end of may either. The freaking beginning of May. The freaking 7th of May. And who still looks like an oompa loompa? Oh that’d be me.  So I’ve got to up my game for the next few months.

What does that mean, you ask? That means instead of doing Zumba once or twice a week starting Monday I will be doing Zumba Monday, Tuesday, some Wednesdays, Thursday and Saturday.   Will I be sore? Heck yes! Will I want to cry and want to give up? Of course! Buuuut I’m going to have to push through that, because I refuse to be the huge girl in green beside the bride.

Oh and on SparkPeople I start a new challenge on November 1st.  It’s the last loser standing, basically after you sign up, you send a picture of your scale to the moderator. And weekly you send a new picture, to keep from cheating, to the moderator.  And as long as you lose weight, you’re in for the next week.  Until, TADA, the last loser is standing.  I’m so juiced about this I can’t wait.

Oh I’ve also decided about dealing with my emotional eating monster I’ve got have one day where I just kinda let myself go.  And usually when I do that I won’t give in for the rest of the week, and don’t end up going too crazy on my cheat days. So for the next two months I’m doing that, and hopefully-cross your fingers- I’ll be able to give up the habit.

And now I’m going to go to bed, so I can get up in the morning.

Week 2

I put this post off a little bit this week, so that my Mom Sexy post would be the front runner, for a little while, any how.  But here’s the update (unfortunately for my waistline)

WEEK TWO
Height: 5ft 5in
Weight: 295.2 lbs
BMI:
Waist: 52 inches
Bust: 49 inches
Hips: 59 inches
Thigh: 32 inches
Arm: 21.5 inches
Pants Size: 24
Shirt Size: 2X, 22

Etc: I ate horridly this week, Olive Garden, Cookies, TGIFriday’s (even though it wasn’t really TOO bad) and I missed Zumba on Monday (After my horrid eating)… so I’m not doing as well this week, but it’s life.. And there’s a Companion post for this week…

Week 2 Weigh in Companion

I knew this would be a possibility when I put it all out “there” like I decided to.. And I already know I feel like I let myself down a little this past weekend…  I crapped out and gained back 0.8lbs this week. It probably has more to do with the family portraits on Saturday and my refusal to go to Zumba Monday night, because last week the Instructor intimidated me with a move I couldn’t get.  But still, I crapped out.  But it’s renewed me and gave me a revelation.  This is a life style change, and sometimes you’re going to be stressed.  And sometimes the instructor is going to be a turd, and try to give you Zumba homework (if I had the time/ability to do Zumba at home why would I go to the class?).  And sometimes you’re just going to gain that 0.8lbs in a week, and that’s normal.  So I’m just trying to be okay with it.

And to be honest (Because that’s kinda what this is here for) I almost didn’t post this up here this week.  I was really hesitant, but then I’m not being real, or accountable which is the WHOLE point of doing this on here.

So I’m struggling right now, with this feeling of ‘I let myself down, AGAIN’ guilt.  Have you ever done something and got that feeling (even if you know that what you did was normal?)? How did you cope with, overcome, get over it?

Here's the deal with the picture...

The Momma Resa Diet

I’m twenty-three, mother to two, private sitter, gymnastics coach, cook, housekeeper, companion, driver, reader, butt wiper, secretary and almost three hundred pounds.  There are few things I can change in that description, but the one that’s easiest (and most immediate) Is my weight.  There’s no reason for my weight gain, and there’s no reason not to fix it. So I’m going to, dang it.  I’ve come up with a plan.. ..

The Plan::
Using SparkPeople.com as a place to track daily calories consumed and burned.
Zumba at least twice a week.  Gymnastics with Cat once a week. And hopefully 30 minutes of cardio the other two days.
Eating less than 10g of Fat per meal and less than 1,200 calories a day.  Increasing my fiber and water intake.  Also increasing the number of vegetable servings.
((I wont be drastic; doing all of this immediately at one time but over time as I think I can handle it. I plan on failing a few times because I’m human and I truly ENJOY food.  Not to mention, holidays ((hello, pie anyone?)).  But I gotta get healthy some way.  And my babies need me.  I’m the only parent they’ve got.))

The Goal::
135 lbs.
A daily intake of 5 servings of vegetables
 20g - 30g of fiber daily.
To have a BMI in the Normal range. (Approx 22)

So the weekly update posts are basically going to include a new picture, and updated stats.

And any information I may think is relevant for that week’s post.  Such as so and so’s birthday, a splurge, etc.

Monthly I’m going to post an update showing the progress from the beginning of this project. So it would have two sets of the photo and stats template.

That way we can all see how good I’m doing.  I sure hope this keeps my butt going.



Let me know if you think I should use the same outfit from beginning to end, or if you think it matters.

I will not be using a sports bra and bike shorts because y’all haven’t done anything to warrant that kind of abuse. And I’m just not sound enough in my self esteem to deal with it.

So we can all breathe a sigh of relief that it will not be awkward to see these posts.

Maybe Weigh In Wednesday's What do we think? Good? GREAT! That'll do.
