The delayed weightloss Update :)

I had to add these..These are pictures that the boys took of each other! Cam's picture he took of Dax might be my favorite :)

Cam's official squinty eyed-smile!

Dayton's official B-day photo in front of the cake! The PB cup cake with chocolate ganache was F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!! Amazing!! And no biggie to make :)
Goose is wondering "Why do you have the camera Dax...Momma's going to get mad"!!

Okay totally slacked on the weight loss update...I haven't fell off the wagon or anything ( if that's even how the saying goes) I have continued my workouts 5x a week, eating pretty sensibly blah blah blah--But I hit a plateau a couple weeks ago and tried to keep my cool--SO as of today I am 184....Yep if you read the last post I was a pound heavier than that..Boo!I keep reminding myself that in the last 6 months I have lost 30 lbs and  I do feel like clothes are fitting looser, so that 's the good thing. I decided my body had figured out my plan and has decided to secretly plot against me so what have I done to combat it's plans? I started as of Thursday--No sugar, No white flour, only protein, fruits/veggies, LOTS of H20 ( which on day 1 there was a suprise birthday party for a neighbor..can we say chocolate cake and I didn't succumb!!!) and I think I need to change up my workouts! I have been doing the Zumba Toning instead of just regular Zumba--It's Zumba with 3lb. weights and Holy Crappers!Does it kick my booty!! I have tried to continue my struggle with running......I am at a 13.40 mile...Yeah and about 5 days ago my knees have started to give me grief :( So I am trying not to cry into a half gallon of cookie dough ice cream, Wish me luck!! No really I am feeling really good and even though I am not enjoying my afternoon cocktail i.e. a fabulous ice cold Diet Coke, I am doing good and good I mean not feeling deprived and taking out my frustrations on the boys :) I have realized I am a total "boredom" eater! I eat out of there's nothing keeping me occupied which I scoff at cuz' half the time I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off so go figure :) Mexico is also looming over me like a raincloud--Not that I'm not excited I just am not ready to walk around in my bathing suit sans a cover-up -...So really hoping to lose even 8-ish more lbs before the trip.....With the weather warming up here it's easy to keep really busy with my boys loving their Easter bikes and us going on walks everyday and mentally the warm weather has been really refreshing!!SO Mother Nature please keep it coming:) and a side note to the testament of how long this winter has been..The snow pack on Mt Timp,  here in Provo hasn't even begun to melt....Flooding is not a possibility its a reality this year!! Any who, I plan on trying to do what my girlfriend Becca does and update every Saturday on what's happening! I do believe the positive comments are huge in continuing weightloss success!!......Current photo below :P
 Im feeling good, just ready for a little tan to hide the cellulite!! Sorry but that's the truth....a tan hides inperfections--So on monday Im visiting the spray-booth :)

I was telling my friend the same thing today about being tan! You're looking good! Don't sell yourself short. The number on the scale don't mean a thing, it's how your clothes are fitting and how you're feeling.

Erin said...

You're looking awesome, Can!! And hello? I'm just so happy to have a no sugar-no flour-no processed buddy! Have you thought about doing the bountiful baskets thing?

Agree with the above comments, you are looking FABULOUS sister, who cares what the scale says?! Nobody sees the number on the scale, they see you! So if your clothes are fitting looser than I'd say that's a pretty huge victory! Everybody plateaus at some point. I mean hello, look at the people on the biggest loser, they are working out like 8 hours a day and sometimes they don't lose weight or only lose like a pound. Don't sweat the number, just keep celebrating those healthy life changes! I think it's smart that you switched up your workout routines, sometimes just doing that will help you break the plateau. Also awesome that you're ditching sugar and white flour. I've ditched white flour but can't bring myself to cut out sugar! (Too hard when there are amazing things like that cake you made Dayton in the world ; ) Keep at it girl! you're doing awesome!

You look great my dear! I am so proud of you and am also working hard! It definitely helps when the whole family is trying. Gives us all motivation and someone to vent to when we hit that plateau point. Loves XOXO
