MIA

I have been Mia on here but that's because of many reasons.... Personal mostly but another is I have found most ppl don't interact on here like they used to. I used to love blogging keeping ppl motivated while others lifted my spirits when I was having trouble as well. It just hasn't been the same on here since I originally started blogging. I have found Facebook to be helpful and diet bet to be even better!!! If you have not heard of diet bet it's amazing!!!! I mean absolutely AMAZING!!!! You can join a bet or make your own and if you join the Kickstarter you bet anywhere from 10-100 dollars that you will lose 4% of your body weight in 28 days. JUST 4%!! That's pretty easy if you put in the time and effort. Now here's the fun part if you lose your 4% in 28 days you win your money back and possibly more. Those who do not win their money goes to the jackpot and gets split between the ones who did win. This holds you accountable and motivates you. And there is an activity part of the bet where everyone is there to cheer ppl on and continue to motivate each other through out the 28 days.

If you want to check it out the site explains everything in detail and I'm hosting a diet bet as we speak for $10 it stated today but you can join up to 14 days after it starts. I'd still urge everyone interested to start asap because no matter when you join you only have 28 days after the actual start date to lose the weight. PLEASE check it out and also let me know if you have a fb and want to stay in touch I have a group on there for weight loss.
Thank you all and I hope everyone has been doing great!!!

Instagram anyone?!

I figure a lot more people have time to go on Instagram and look at progress rather than read about it some times. If you are on Instagram please feel free to follow me @kimc87 I post motivational quotes progress pics etc. would love to see your progress as well so if you are on IG and send me a request please comment that you follow my blog and I will follow you right back. I love being there for my readers and I love helping people. Social networking does wonders for people on the go and makes motivation and support a lot easier to come by. Again please feel free to stop by and see pics like the one I posted today

Amotivational pictures like these

And motivational quotes like these 

I look forward to seeing/hearing from you all one way or another. Hope all is well!!

Ahhhhh Improvements!!

I hate pictures always have but I have to say I'm becoming proud when i see them. I notice how far I am coming along, I notice what on my body is progressing and what I need more work on. I can honestly say I am very happy with how I've been doing. I wouldn't change anything, not even one mess up. We all learn from our mistakes and we are all human so we are going to make them and most likely lots of them. Learn from your mistakes embrace them and let them change you for the better :) on that note another progress pic lol 

Down another pound as well :) woot woooot and it hasn't even been a week 

Some More Comparisons

I first have to say sorry for the moment of disgust you are about to endure and second I must put my Warnings up.

WARNING THE IMAGE YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE MAY CAUSE NAUSEA, VOMITING, AND OR TEMPORARY BLINDNESS. lmao

this is my progress in 2 1/2 months.



starting weight 216 lbs (Possibly more 216 was my weight in January this picture was in November so I may be around or over 220 here)
my weight as of Friday 189 :)

I still have a lot of work as you can see but I think Ive been doing pretty good.

Before, later, and now

Okay so I promised a comparison photo. This was me at my highest weight on the left me in November 2014 after gaining a lot back and before I had my gallbladder surgery in the middle and then me a week ago on the right. For those of you wondering how my life change has been going. I also want to put it out there that I have only been doing this healthy thing since the end of January 2015. So just over two months.

What a Week

I have been doing great on my life change I do however seem to have weak willed moments a little more often then I am used to. This is strange to me I never ever had these issuse and I seriously cheated three times this week. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO YOURSELF KIM?!?!? LOL

I beleive that everyone is entitiled to a cheat day... well.... did believe that. I think cheat days are what trigger my cravings to start back up and give me my good old cheat day that turns into cheat DAYS! This needs to stop!! like seriously. so my challenge for myself is to only have one cheat day very two weeks and then im going to change that to one cheat day every month. Why? some of you may ask, well, because I want there to be a point in my life that I wont need them anymore at all because the thought of unhealthy food and the taste of it will get me sick. Im pretty much there with carbonated beverages. I havent drank them in so long that when I do the taste is appauling(except one kind, hopt that changes soon too).

The good news is I have not gained the bad news is I only lost a few ounces, but hey a few ounces is better than nothing right? I will be posting comparisons as soon as I log on from a computer that isnt at work lol.


How has everyone else been? I hope doing great! well... until next time keep on losing!!!

Stress and working out

I seem to have the fitness friends that when I am stressed say take your stress and anger out in your work outs. Now I know I'm not the only one who hears that, buuuuut.... I may be the only one who thinks Id rather sit on my butt and watch something or talk to someone so that What's bothering me disappears for a while, If not the night. How does one change that? How do you go from your normal comforts when you are stressed to being a workout freak? Some people it comes naturally and always has been for them and then there's people like me that are like blaaaaaah screw this I just wanna cuddle up in my bed in fetal position with a nice cuddle buddy hahaha sad but true. Don't get me wrong I push myself and I will continue to push myself until this workout because natural to me as well. I will be a beast and I will make working out my drug!!!! So to keep you all updated with my eating habits I have been doing great! I mean im human so I did have a cheat day lol but other than that I have been feeling amazing and have been sticking to it. I have also had ppl complimenting me on how much I've lost and how good Ive been doing which is one of the most wonderful feelings ever if I do say so myself. ;) and I have had 2 ppl ask me to make them meal plans and help them out work out wise. I've finished one meal plan already and can not wait to see her progress. Id love to help ppl like this for a living. Nothing feels better than helping ppl and I bet it will feel 100 times better once I see their progress. I hope everyone has been doing as well as I have and if not please feel free to reach not to me with any questions or concerns, I will try my best to help. Thats all I have for now I dont want to drag this post out. I will update my progress once I weigh in again.

Back on it and doing it right!!!

I am a pretty stubborn person I must say... Failure is not in my vocabulary!!! I may fall down, hell I may even lay there for a while, but I will not fail!!! I started my journey a few years back on weight watchers and I must say I lost a lot of weight a crap ton actually 65 pounds!!! I stopped counting points and boom here comes my weight again. This is he second time. Sad part is it creeps up on me. I don't know how I don't notice it, it's not like it's just 5 to 10 pounds, im talking about 50 lbs. it's like I get comfortable, I let the bad habits come back and consumes me, and weirdly enough I must feel some kind of comfort in it to disregard the lbs im packing on. Right?! WRONG!!!! Now don't get me wrong as I stated before weight watchers is a great weight loss program and I am proof it is effective if you keep up with it, but I'm going to tell you my problem with it. My first problem is it's not for me!!! They claim it's a life dtlr change not a weight loss program but I just don't see it. How is counting points for the rest of your life a good thing? How would you not mess up? How do you get comfortable doing that? And my last question is if it is so effective then why is it I meet more people like me (ones who have lost and gained it back and just repeat the cycle like a yoyo) than ones who lost it and kept it off? Here's what I think needs to be done and here's what I am attempting this time around. No counting!!! Not points, not calories, no counting!!!!!!!!! I'm goinng to train myself to make smart choices, train myself to know off hand portion control, train myself to know when enough is enough. It takes 28 days to make a habit correct? Well I'm 6 weeks into my journey and that's more than the time needed to start a habit and guess what. I have lost 28 lbs. it just gets easier and easier. Yes I have days I mess up, I am human! I have days I resist cravings but that's ok. Nobody is perfect and Id rather be slow and steady than rush and fall back into the same place again. Under Armour said it best I WILL!!!! I will get where I need to be, I will get my mind set, I will make the right choices, I will get fit/healthy and I will do it because I am the only one who can. Nobody is going to make me do it, nobody is going to push me to make the right choices, and nobody is going to feel the effects of my decisions besides me. I will continue to post as frequent as I can to let everyone know my progress and I hope to hear from others as well. Everyone is different and im sure what may work for some won't work for others but we can all learn from each other on our own journey's. We can all be the support for each other, the answers to somes questions, or the ah ha moments to something we would have never thought about. We all will get to where we want to be if we stay motivated and know it takes time, remember slow and steady wins the race!! :)

Busy gym days

geeeeez I feel like I havent been on here for a while. I know I know shame on me lol. but the good news is I have been eating good and have been in the gym as much as possible :) I have been getting on the elliptical for 20 mins after doing weights and if I dont do weights I get on the elliptical for as long as I can take it. There is also a basket ball court in there too so I shoot for a while afterwards if the court is open.Its fun. I miss my basket ball days. So I have been eating right like I said making wise decisions and drinking LOT and LOTS of water. I have had 2 sodas (diet sierra mist) in a week. I am proud of myself. I will get where I want to be it will just take time. I am determined. Well this is sweet and simple and to the point but I had to make sure I checked in and let everyone know what was going on im my life. I hope all is well with everyone else and as always I am here if anyone needs me :) TTYL!!!

A little snow... Work.... and BLOGGING

So I am stuck at work while everyone else is off and in bed. Kinda of mad about this lol. But I really do not get it there is no snow on the streets yet. I understand closing early if it gets bad but seriously... nothing is happening or has happened. Oh well Im here and got told I can bring my laptop and do as I please so I said what the hey, sounds like a good time to blog :) I have been going to the gym for the past two nights and all though the first was alone I am loving it!!! I was at the gym until midnight and had to be up today at 5:30. Any other time this would have killed me. Lately I am one of those people who if they do not get 8 hours of sleep feel like I am dragging all day long and since I am trying to completely cut caffeine out of my diet I NEED MY SLEEP!!! Getting back to my point just a week and a half of eating good vitamins and two nights at the gym I can feel a difference in my energy levels. Its amazing what kind of a change something has on your body in such little time. I am loving it and looking forward to warm weather.I have so many activities planned :) CAN NOT WAIT!! so this snow needs to move out of here quickly. We are supposed to get snow today and then go to 50 degree weather tomorrow. my allergies are going to be begging for mercy soon. This has been on going for some time now. I need to get out of house and enjoy fresh weather. So how has everyone been? Looks like a lot of people I followed are gone or mia :( Glad to see a few are still doing their thing and look to be doing a great job. Im proud of you all!! I missed this place and my blogging. Its like a family on here. We give advice when needed, pick each other up if we should fall, lend a ear if someone needs to vent (or an eye lol) we have each other back, we do not criticize, and the best one ever.... we do not give up on each other. we have faith in each other and know we all have what it takes to get where we need to be. We encourage each other to move on to continue to get up to SUCEED. Well I better get back to work, if there is any. TTYL!!! Stay Healthy Think Fit Get Out And Exercise! :)

First weigh in in almost a year geesh

Ok so I weighed in for my first weigh in in almost a year and I am overly proud of myself and my decisions this week.I lost 6.2 lbs in 7 days. GOSH I MISSED THIS FEELING!!! I am motivated now more than ever.Let me tell you a weigh in like that not only brightens your morning but is a highlight to your whole week. I am going to the gym tonight even though the person I signed up with has not been willing to go. I am upset about this because I didnt want to go by myself.I am one of those weirdos lol BUT I will not and I repeat in caps WILL NOT let this stop me. I will not give excuses anymore. NO NO. You dont find time to work out you make time. and you make time go to the gym not excuses of why you cant. I am determined, I am strong, I am ready, I will conquer!!!! Have a nice night everyone. Im going to get my little girl ready for bed and be on my way to the gym.

It has been a while...

It has been a good good while since I have checked in and since I have posted. I fell off track for almost a year!!!! I can not believe it. I can not believe I gave up. I sat back and I gained everything but 14 lbs. Yes everything. SO depressing I should have caught it earlier I should have got it under control but I didnt and now I am starting off like its day one again. Geeeeesh. This time I am making goal and this time I am not giving up. THIS TIME I WILL AND I CAN DO IT!!!! I started back on points last monday @ 198 lbs on doctors scale and 200 on my personal scale (which is normal being as mine always weighed 2 lbs more.) I am doing ww online for a little while until I get my money together. I joined a gym this weekend and I am ready to go. Tomorrow will be my official first weigh in. Im so excited and so scared at the same time. I never though it was possible to gain that much weight in a year. And I didnt think I would even be at this point again. But here I am and ITS ON!!!!!! "If you are tired of starting over, stop quitting in the first place!" Until tomorrow good luck, Hello to all again, I missed you and I hope all has been going well. TTYL!!

Triple "S" Challenge Update Week 4

Im having a rough rough time and week I have hit rock bottom in my nice depression and my Mirena isnt helping me out too much. Tom wont stop visiting and is over staying his welcome. This being said I am very unhappy to say I gained 3 lbs this week. THREE?? Ughh I dont think this challenge is working out for me too much. I have had nothing but bad things happen since the first week. Its getting to be too too much. I am so sorry everyone for not updating my link up post I promised I would but have been too down in the dumps to do anything about it. SORRY SORRY SORRY. I wish I could continue this post with some awesome words of encouragement and support and whooo rahs but its not in me and I apologize deeply. Lets hope next week is better. I need some improvements. TTYL!

Triple "S" Challenge Update Week 3

I lost .7 almost a lb so now I am 170.2 I can not get back out of these dang 170's grrrrr. Well I dont have much to say at all except my water intake has been up there :) and I am joining the gym on the 25th YAY!!! And on another not..... If we dont have all 3 link ups or a comment telling me why you missed the link up I may just end the challenge it is not worth it if I am having no body link up or participate any longer. I dont want to sound like Capital "B" But you know... Im pretty close to deleting my blog anyway so I guess it wont matter too much. Well thats it a depressing update. TTYL hope everyone who still reads this has a great week.

Triple "S" Challenge Update Week 2

Hey guys hope this week went well for everyone! Sorry this is going to be short and to the point but I as well did not lose this week :( I maintained because of damn TOM I hate when he just shows up unwelcome and without notice geesh the nerve of some ppl lol So I am aiming on not gaining this week or maintaining again... but I already messed up today grrrr!!!! Damn holidays. Well I got to get back to cooking but heres some lovely pics of me and my beautiful daughter. Happy Easter All!!!

If you do this.... do that...

So I have so many friends family member and some bloggers which I will not name who get in this groove this I AM READY FOR A CHANGE groove. They look around to see whats the best diet (that right there is their first mistake) which most of them have come to me for help and questions which is when I respond to them well.... The thing is you dont want the best "diet" you want the best Change... Life style change. I explain to them the difference and how diets are a temporary fix and you need to want to change or your results will be as temporary as your diet, and a life style change is something you will do for life that will keep you healthy and eating right. After this they usually chose weight watchers saying how I made a great point and when they look it up weight watchers seems to be the best choice too. "Great!!! Good for you, you made the first step to success" I say and I made a new weight watchers buddy lol.

Well they do good for a while no mess ups loving the program exercising living life weight watchers way :) and then...... they have a bad week which leads to a gain which turns that happiness to confusion  disbelief and "failure" (I quote this because I HATE THIS WORD WITH A PASSION) I explain to them that they are not a failure they are human everyone has a bad day even bad weeks s**t I had a bad month before WHO CARES! We all learn by our mistakes and this is what makes it a life style change not a temporary fix. Theres alway next week we can get through this. Well to some people that means nothing, while to others that was what they needed to hear to move on. From a good handful of people I get BUT I TRACKED EVERYTHING!!!! I didnt mess up once I stayed on point I didnt use all my weekly points and so on and so on. This is when I then turn around and say I dont want to sound like a jerk I dont want to sound like a know it all.....but.... I know you couldnt possibly have tracked everything or you wouldnt have gained. EEEEK i know right. People usually do not like when you tell them the truth when you go against their words when you tell them they are lying (even if them words never really came out).

So whats the point of this long long story you ask? Well we all have these moments, we all have the times we want to give up, the times we want to throw the scale across the room, and the times we want to smash a cake into the persons face telling us we messed up somewhere. but lets face it we did we had to we just did not notice it.... This is why I like to remember The Bite Nibble Drink and Snack        


"If you bite it write it, if you nibble it scribble it, if you drink it ink it, if you snack it track it"


if we all do this and we all stick to this we will all be successful. Yes there are those moments where the scale doesnt budge but if it goes the opposite direction then we know we missed something. We had to have missed something... even the smallest licks bites drinks and snacks can be the most deadliest to our points. Do not beat yourself up move on there is always tomorrow and people like me are always there to help with words or support and a pat on the back. I am here to open your eyes because Id rather tell you the truth and possibly hurt your feelings for a minute than have you go backwards and hurt yourself in emotionally in the future.

Please do not do as other have done and give up after a gain and think its over get back on the wagon look through what could have possibly went wrong and pick up the pieces from there. WE ARE ALL STRONG WE CAN ALL DO THIS.....WE WILL DO THIS.

Have a great OP week....ttyl
