Profile Information

About Me:

I am a 29 years old and married to a wonderful man. I have 2 children, they are 2 and 6. I work as a nurse in Labor and Delivery and I work the night shift (if any of you are nurses or know nurses, you know the ones who choose to stay on nights are a unique breed). I am glad to be working towards my weight loss goals, I haven't really focused on myself since having my son in 2006, so now it's time to focus and get rid of the extra pounds, 53 pounds to be exact..

Plan of Choice:

Weight Watchers

Workout Philosophy:

I'm new to exercise, I only exercise because I have to

Let's watch the progress

Goals
1st goal: be under 200lbs by 1/31/09
2nd goal: lose 10lbs by 2/14/09
3rd goal: Run 1 mile straight without stopping by 3/1/09 (still working on this one)
4th goal: lose 25lbs by 5/1/09
5th goal: be at my goal weight of 150lbs by 8/31/09

Rewards
reward for first 10lbs off-pedicure (196lbs) Need to reward myself
reward for 10% weightloss-massage (26lbs)
reward for finishing 1 mile run-new running outfit
rewards for GOAL weight- I may dreaming big here, but a trip to Bahamas.(150-160)

I haven't been keeping up with my goal of blogging weekly, funny because I seem to be so consistant in all other areas of my life (totally joking). I have good intentions, but I seem to procrastinate. I would love tips on how people stay consistant. Tips for any areas of life from household chores to losing weight. Seriously, give me your most basic tips, I could use them.
Okay, so back to the blog.........
I haven't really been watching what I've been eating. I am back over 200lbs, I am dissapo… Continue

Last Friday

So, I made it under 200lbs. WOO HOO!!!!! Now I am nervous... I am going on an overnight girls trip to Nashville and I know there will be cocktails and cake. I will try to make good choices when I can and I will be back 110% on Monday. Thanks for listening to my rambling.

We do have a neonatologist but not a perinatologist so who we keep and who we send to the University Medical Center up the road depends on what's up. Last night I had the joy of admitted an eclamptic 18 yo.. you know the drill.
I hate to blame nights for the gain (because obviously the NOC shift did not put the food in my mouth) but I didn't gain anything back until night shift. The whole 'eating to stay awake', not such a good plan. Good luck to you with your goals. No guilt and move on.

Congrats on beginning the weight loss journey! It was the best thing I have ever done for myself. It really will change your life. I'm really excited to see that someone is on here with me who is so close to home. :)

At 1:30pm on June 24, 2008, Nicki said…: Thanks! I was wondering if the weight would start to come off faster if I stopped breastfeeding. I won't stop b/c I know it is good for the baby and I'd feel pretty selfish if I did:) Thanks for you comments and support! This is my second day following WW so hopefully I can kick the 10pounds!

At 2:03pm on June 19, 2008, Kristi said…: Thanks for reading my blog and commenting! It's always nice to know others can relate and even more, get something out of the post. That's why I love this community because everyone just motivates me so much!! I hope you're having an excellent day!
