Weight Loss 52 weeks Later

fitbit  Weight loss.. Yea back to the grind.  No, it is not the New Year that gets me back on track.  It is the end of my businesses busy season that pulls me off healthy track:  because I have to ship and play Santa, because I go in survival mode.  Many people would say you have to remember yourself when stress levels get high.   Yea, I am not good at that, so for about a month and half all that matter is getting my orders shipped.  During this time I work had and try to be a super human.

The good news this year is I did not gain over the holidays because I work and forget to eat.  I force my self to work and reward my self with an apple or cup of tea.  I was also sick cold or flu for a week so I just drank water and tea.  I did partake over the holidays but not that much as usual.

Started walking  with my good friend Hilary again. So I am back on track we went walking on Friday and today.  I am already hitting 10K steps a day.

I also been using the FitBit to track my progress.  My weigh myself on the Fitbit Aria scale is a big help because it syncs with my fitbit.  The Fitbit is a interactive pedometer that syncs with your computer it tracks  your steps, stairs,burn rate, activity rate, and more.   How about your sleep pattern fitbit will track yours.  The fitbit clips to your bra, waistband and they even have a new bracelet.  The Fitbit interface will offer remind via text or email you how many steps you have to do to reach a goal. You can also link up the fitbit with social media.  I love it it keeps we going through out the day.  You’re just steps away from better fitness.

I am really looking forward to getting back to being active.

One year ago today  I weight 276  today 258.6-    19.4lb lost in the last year

Good Health to you in the new year!

So this past week I was busy to say the least. As you know I did Blogher in NYC. Food well there was not a ton but Hillary and I manged to get one good meal a day.  Not a smart more for me because I am a type 2 diabetic.  But I survived.  I walked every where so in the 3 days I walked 20,000+ steps and walked  30 flights of stairs  according to my fitbit.

Good News

I am 260 again.. so glad the number is back.  Now I have to eat health and avoid skipping meals. 

I personally had a great Night last night. I went into the Gap and bought a Dress and a Jacket.  Granted it was a XXL but and XXL at the gap is different that an XXL at a plus size store.   It is a little short, but as usually I will rocket for the event I am wearing it to (power of positive thought) .   Also I went to the LandsEnd  event last week I tried on  a Lands End dress that was a 1XL and it totally fit and I got a color not just black-  hello electric blue!! Yea Me.  The clothes alone are going to keep me on track.

Tip: Buy the clothes for the size that you are don’t wait till you are smaller one outfit will be all the push you need to keep going.

The best news of the week is that my husband who has had a hard time with his Psoriasis and Psoriatic  arthritis,  has joined a gym.  I am so happy for him the movement will do him wonders.  He walked 1/2 mile which is wonderful.   He has  agreed to a challenge with me.. more to come on that in the follow weeks.
