I made it!!

I lost 2.2 pounds this week for a total of 21.8 pounds lost!! I am so proud of myself and have really been noticing a difference in my clothing. Some of my workout pants are maternity still and they are basically falling off of me while trying to walk on the treadmill. I am happily able to put on jeans straight from the dryer with out a struggle or having a hard time buttoning them. Lindsay and Brooke and Mike are a strong support system for me. Lindsay is so funny, every time I come home from the gym and report about how much I did, she will say "how much did you lose mom?" Then I always have to tell her we'll have to wait until Saturday to see! She does not like that answer very much, I guess that is her wanting automatic gratification. I wish I had that at times too! Losing weight is a very long and hard process, especially when I let so many other things get in the way as I gained it. However, I am on this road for the long haul now and it's not only for me it's for my kid's and Mike too. Thanks to everyone for your support and wonderful comments on Face book etc. It's always nice to see that people are noticing! Sincerely, Chris Bresnan

Not Quite There Yet...

Hello all-

I lost 1.4 pounds today! I thought I would gain. I am now a measley .6 away from a 20 pound weight loss! I will do it this week!! It's like the worst form of torture...! .6 I should have pee'd before I weighed this morning!! :) I WILL DO IT THIS WEEK. I am so close!! People are finally starting to notice, it mostly shows in my face. I can't wait to see my neuro-psych this week, he will be so happy for me! There will be NO CRYING at this appointment! HA! I am walking on air, I have come so far. This is the best I have ever kept track of my weight! It's not going up it's finally going the other direction!

HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!

Weight Watcher's Report

As of today's weigh in, I have officially lost 18 pounds. I lost 2.6 this week and I am doing great at the gym. I walked 3 miles on the treadmill yesterday in 65 minutes. I am trying to get it up to 4 before my March of Dimes walk. I am really proud of myself because I no longer need the shower stool that I borrowed from Donna. I am becoming more and more independent as I lose weight and get fit. However there are some days that the stamina is just not there and I manage to pick myself up and go exercise, there is something about the competition with myself that helps me plug along. I can't wait to hit 20# I am hoping at that mark I can finally move down a size in my pants! Thank you to everyone that has supported me in the MOD walk. I only need a few more sponsors, so I thought I would hit up the neighbors too.

Have a great weekend everyone! I sure am!

Love,

Chris

January 14,2011

We are finally out from under most of the snow. Our snow man is still standing and a few of the neighbors igloos and snow men are still there. It was a long week being couped up with the girls we finally went out to lunch and shopping to get over the cabin fever. Lindsay has been so happy that she has not had to go to school. I joined weight watchers again on 1/8/2011 and had my first weigh in on 1/15/2011, I lost 5.6 pounds, I also got my 5lb star. I am loving the new program. I did not have access to the e-tools any of the other times. This new program is completely different than the other times I have been on it. I walked in the snow and ice 3 times during the snow storm and really paid attention to what I was eating and it paid off big time. I am working my way back into going to the gym and weight training again, over the next couple of weeks. My neuropsycologist is going to be very pleased with me for losing weight, he has been on me about it for a long time. I know that this time I am going to accomplish my goals. I am doing it for my family, myself and most of all my girls!
