WWW Week 11!!!!

Me when I was under 250lbs. About 243lbs here and it's amazing what just a few pounds looks like.

Week 11 {March 14, 2011}

1. What have you done this past week to help you achieve your goals? 

       Cut down our cell phone bill. We canceled our texting plan, I downgraded my phone to 

one that does not require a data plan and we lowered my husbands data plan to the less 

expensive one. We also canceled netflix and gamefly(we were only in a free trial) we didn't want

to be spending $16 a month for it anyway. We did all this to save money so we can get our first

apartment. All this, plus paying off a loan to our parents, comes too $307 a month that we won't 

be paying out anymore. It has been an incredible experience not having texting for the first

time since having a cell phone!! It is liberating really.I really like not having to have

my phone on me every second of every day. Its been great. I have still been drinking water 

everyday and I made a plan to get re started on my weight loss goals. 

And in case you were wondering, YES!!! I feel as if I am the only person on the planet that DOES NOT have text messaging!!!

2. There are two weeks left in this challenge – what goals are you making priority?

        Saving money and weight loss.

3. Many people are on or heading into Spring Break right now, do you find it easier or harder to stay

 on track when your routine disappears?

     Well, being one of the many people heading into spring break, I am actually going to use mine to

get into a routine of working out, eating healthy, sleeping rightand cleaning up my house on a more

scheduled basis.

4. Tell us something positive about this challenge. Could be something that happened to you, you did,

 you realized…etc.

     I learned that are things in life that are not a necessity;(i.e. texting). I have learned that are a

lot of things that I can and should live without on a daily basis. I don't need beef to survive or

soda. And i definitley don't need to be paying $30 a month for unlimited texting when it is something

that is clearly a luxury and not neccessary to my everyday well being. Something that may not be considered positive by some people is that I learned I need someone to be accountable to that is in my life. I need someone that I know to be there to say "hey, why are you eating that burger instead of a salad or hey did you workout today or did you read you bible today???" I need that person in my life and I think I found the friend that can do it for me. I also learned that if I don't write it down as a plan and am not completely sold out on it I won't do it. To me, all these things are positive because now I know myself so much better than I did at the beginning of this challenge.

5. Fun Question of the Week: The clocks sprung forward this weekend, does the time change mess you up

 or do you just go on like nothing happened?

      It messes up my sleep pattern for about a week usually. I feel pretty tired right now and that is why. I do however love that it means it will be lighter later outside. I am looking forward to doing 

workouts (running/walking) outdoors. 

Well that is all!! I will keep y'all updated on how the new scheduling works out over spring break!!!
