Heck yea!

Few days

Well, Its been a good couple days! I have been working real hard on loosing inches. I am going to weigh myself. I am going to by a new book, I also need a calorie counter if anyone has it!!

Well Ill write more tonight!!

Opps

Well, remember yesterday when I said that the sweet aroma of grease fills your nose, lets just say the mexican fiesta in my mouth was a guilty pleasure I longed to have. I broke down and had 2 soft tacos and a nachos bell grande. I was so hungry and I needed something fast, so I was a douche and ate it. I feel a little guilty, but to belima guilt. Trust me I HATE PUKING! But I am going to work extra hard tommorrow at my class. I also have to start walking and drinking more water!!! I need to beat the hell out of my cravings.. they are only cravings and they will go away. I have to say I havent had the usual from McDonalds and I have cut my Starbucks down to a tall greentea lightly sweetened. I really want this. I really want to be fit. Have you ever desired something sooo much that all you do is think about it, dream about, brag about it? That is what I do everyday. I want EVERYONE to know that I am changing. I am mostly proud of myself for sticking to my guns! Katie Ray said she will help me make better choices!! I need a king Calorie counter book! Thats next on my list to buy along with a hair cut. I am a hair stylist, but I dont cut my own hair.. go figure eh!

Yet another day

I woke up this morning, put my contacts in, got dressed, went to starbucks with hoho and then to a meeting at work. My boss preceded to tell me weight loss isn't about loosing the lbs or inches, its all about getting healthy. Its all in '' your mind.'' I find this all be true, but when you drive past a McDonald's and even with your windows up, not smelling the sweet aroma of artery clogging grease, your mouth starts to water. I started this weight loss process to become healthy. I want to be able to run around and not have to worry about killing over. Last night I worked my arms so much they hurt. I am going to be toned. The only concern I have is if I keep losing this weight, what am I going to do with the extra skin. Linda ( the hard trainer) told me " you're young and you have great elasticity. With firming lotion, you are sure to have all the extra skin come back up." That sorta make me feel better, I DO NOT want to look like the michilen (? sp)tire man! I have noticed a change in my eating patterns. I used to be able to down a foot long sub, not with less than a 6 in. I'm good to go! I have such great support from everyone! It keeps me going! On top of my job at Regis, I get to test drive a new job at Dr. Tripp's office. I need more money, who doesn't right?! Well until later remember change is a good thing!

My gift to myself after my water areobic classes are done!

This is the tattoo that I am basing my tattoo off of. I want something VERY similar to this. It will be on my foot, so I am not looking into all the minor deets. Any suggestions!!?

The begining!

My name is Kerri-Lynn Rebecca Roupe and I am 21 years old. I have always been overweight. I even remember someone asking me in the 6th grade if I was pregnant. I was always told you are beautiful the way you are, and '' Your big boned.'' As the years went on, so did the pounds. I had my highs and lows of weight (mainly the highs). I went to the doctor three weeks ago and I was at a high of 310 lbs. My shoulders hurt, my back hurts, my knees hurt, I was always sluggish, so my doctor reffered me to a Nutrition specialist. She then set me up to a personal trainer! I had it made, everything was covered by my insurance company! I was all set up to loose the pounds. Then the state dropped my insurance because I turned 21, and I did not have a 'life altering illness which prevents me from work'. So I got super bummed. But I at least made it to my 1st appointment with the trainer. She gave me a exercise evaluation, which consisted of several tests and measurements. I am 128 cm across the waist which means I am high risk for cancer, diabetes, and heart attack all before the age of 25. I also learned that I am borderline diabetic, and if I do not get my life in order, I will soon have a down fall of my health. That really opened my eyes to my on going weight struggle. She recommended that I stick to my meal plans (Which I havent got, because I lost my insurance) and exercise within 2 years I will start to make a tremendous change in my health. I take water areobics 4 days a week and I am supposed to walk the other 3. I stopped eating HUGE portions and stopped drinking so much pop and sugar drinks, and cut out majority of my sweets. In the past 3 weeks my appitite has cut in half and my clothes are starting to feel looser. I have more energy and I actually ran around the yard the other day. As of today July 25, 2010 I am 300.2 lbs. I have lost 9.8 lbs in three weeks. 6lbs was my 6 week goal and loosing 3 cm. I have yet to measure myself. which I am a little afraid of. I have an overwhelming pool of support from all my friends and family. I got to water areobics class tommorrow, so maybe afterwards I will measure myself. Wish me luck and until tommorrow, I leave you with a :) I am changing.
