I feel good, I knew that I would na na na na na.. just like the song 
So a few things happened to me on Friday. First, I had to go to work late as I was waiting for purolator to deliver me a pkg and they wouldn’t give me a time frame, only 8-5. So, I asked a friend if she would come over to wait for me, but I would wait until either the pkg arrived, or she did, whichever came first. Well she arrived at 9:20, which allowed me to go to work. But, she brought a winter jacket with her. She had lost some weight awhile back and still had the jacket, so she brought it for me to try on. So I figured it wouldn’t fit since it was only a 3x, up til august i was wearing a 5x and am now wearing a 4x..but jackets tend to be a size higher in clothes that i would need… but anyways… it fit!!! Really tight, I can’t wear it NOW, but the point is, it fit!! In a month or so, it should fit okay to wear, YAY!!!
So, i go on my way to work and close to the end of the day, a coworker of mine who knows I have been losing weight and talked to me about it, told me that another coworker had asked her how much i lost, because she has noticed. YAY!!
Then, just before I leave for the day, i go to the bathroom and a coworker was there and she looks at me and pretty much let out a gasp with a shocked look on her face and says Have you lost weight???? Keep in mind, i see this person everyday! lol She acted like suddenly i lost 60 pounds over night…don’t we all wish huh?? hehe. I should have told her that no, i hadn’t lost any weight, in fact i gained weight lol But ya that was pretty funny and felt good knowing that people are finally noticing! And now the whole office will know, cause she is that type of person hehe She will be telling everyone probably lol
So ya, I feel good! da na na na na I knew that i would da na na na na, feel good, so good… wooooooo!
So….. normally walking from my desk at work, to the bus would take me a good 20 mins(before losing weight), and it would take that long, because i would have to stop and rest on the way. Sit on the bench downstairs in my bldg, then sit on the bench outside the bldg, then sit and rest on the bench on the way to the bus… well now I can walk all the way without stopping once Well, today I timed myself…..7….count em, 7 minutes! That is from the bus all the way to my building, into the building and to the 2nd floor of my office woohoo!
So last night I did the biggest loser for the wii, looks like I have my work cut out for me since I fell below the yellow line.. i was not elminated though, yay!! So i gotta step it up a notch or two! I guess the more you exercise as that character, the more weight she loses… and i hadnt been using BL for the wii much, only when i had training scheduled… was using wii fit plus on the other days… so now i guess i will do BL every day I don’t want to get eliminated afterall! hehe
Hope everyone is going to have an awesome weekend! I am thinking of going shopping for some clothes tomorrow, i have absolutely NO sweaters, normally i am hot at work and wear tanktops, but for the past month every day i have been cold…although we are moving locations on Nov 2nd, so not sure what its like on the 1st floor…guess i will find out lol
Oh, another accomplishment is I exercise every day using wii fit plus, or my other games like that… i have been doing at least 60 mins, generally more… well when I first started this journey, i was doing 5 mins a day! And those 5 mins were tough! I am so proud
Who woulda thought playing video games would mean you get a good workout in??? Years ago I would have laughed had someone told me that I could get in exercise by playing video games! Seriously, if you do not have a wii, i suggest you get one.. now! The best money I ever spent was when I decided to buy the wii, so I could get wii fit. Awesome… A-W-E-S-O-M-E awesome!
I now have wii fit plus as well, I was so excited, that i went out and bought it the day of my birthday.. i figured great birthday present to myself. The next day however, I told someone I had bought it all excited like and her reaction? oooh noooo you didnt.. she bought me that as a gift lol.. sooo its all good though, i returned my copy and recieved it as my bday gift today Pretty cool.. it is exactly like the wii fit, plus more… sooo if you do not have wii fit yet..do NOT get both… just get wii fit plus, it has everything the wii fit has plus extra… I am not 100% sure though, but pretty sure. Since i have the wii fit, it took all my info from the wii fit game and transferred it to wii fit plus.. so not sure what happens if you dont own wii fit lol
But anyways, seriously get a wii, well worth the 220 or however much it is! I also have the biggest loser for wii, that is pretty cool as well, and the person that got me wii fit plus also got me the jillian micheals for the wii as well.. so i am all set! I will be exercising everyday, i love my wii.
The wii gets 4 thumbs up from Megan!
Thought I would post some pictures of my progress. The following picture is a “before” and “after” shot, between the 2 pictures is a difference of 48.2 pounds.
This next picture is a recent picture taken on October 3, 2009 at my 35th birthday celebration. In this picture I have had a loss of 57 pounds. That morning I got my hair cut and had red highlights put in, I love it! I find I look pretty different in this picture than the one above…
Hope you enjoy my site
I would like to take this time to thank everyone who has been soooo supportive and encouraging in my journey to lose my weight. I first started my journey on February 27, 2009 weighing a whopping 370 pounds. I am pleased to annouce however, that since then I have lost 57.4 and weigh in at 312.6. Still a very long journey ahead of me, but it is a start
I would especially like to thank my very good friend Candice who helped me with this site and my journey. She has been very supportive and encouraging and designed my site! I gave her an idea of what I would like it to look like and she ran with it! I love it, thank you honey, you know I love you! xoxo
I have had some obstacles recently to slow down my weightloss, almost 2 weeks ago, it was my father’s 80th surprise birthday party(which i planned myself!)at an all you can eat chinese buffet at 10am(breakfast buffet, yummy!) So needless to say i overate. Then a week later, it was MY birthday celebration. I turned 35 and went out drinking with my friends and had supper there as well. I have some work to do to make up for the last few weeks, but I can do it!
So, as you can see by the name of my site, I will be losing 100lbs in a year….that is 100 ADDITIONAL pounds, so on October 7, 2010 I will weigh 212.6 or lighter I have not weighed that since Grade 7! So, about 22 years or so, I will be thrilled to get to that point! Baby steps and I will get there, right now I will be ecstatic to be 299, haven’t been that in about 10-15 years or so… I am so close, I can taste it!
Feel free to post any comments, I would love to read them. I can use all the support I can get!
Thank you, I appreciate and love you all! xoxo
