metamorphoSIS

An experience in changing our appearances, habits, outlooks and lives

Alyse & Sarah

View spaceSend a message
We're sisters working together to change our lives by changing our diets and exercise habits. Sarah is 32 and lives in Fort Worth, TX. Alyse is 35 and lives in Sweetwater, TX. We spend a lot of time on the phone because we live almost 200 miles away from each other. We are super close and want to make sure we're as healthy as we can be so we can continue to live long healthy lives!

Alyse - Day Fourty Three

     Well...Thats it!!!!  As of today, I have lost thirty pounds!  This is big for me, because it's an even thirty, but also because it marks a place that I haven't been in a REALLY LONG time (probably about 7 years).  Also, I took measurements yesterday, and I have lost a total of 19 inches!  1 around my calf, 2 around my arm, 3 around my thigh, 3 around my chest, 5 around my waist, and 5 around my hips. Wink   

Sarah - Day 43

Alyse and I were talking on the phone yesterday (for over an hour! hehe) about how we're doing. I'll let her tell you how much she's lost in lbs and inches since September. WOW!

 

I was telling her that my dance class teacher told us that March is the last month for our class to meet twice a week. She said we should set new goals and really kick butt in March. So I thought about it and I decided to stick to my original goal for the class which was to drop under 200lbs. But I also decided, since I was giving in too much, to not have any fast food for the whole month.

 

So far I haven't and it really isn't that hard. When I tell myself "I can't have that" then if I think "oooh I want this or that" I think "nope, not this month" and I move on. In that same vein Alyse and I were discussing how I feel a bit detached from this whole challenge/program. I think the reason is because my new life choices are becoming habit. I'm finding it more normal without giving it any thought so nothing has been so monumental that I feel like I need to blog about it.

 

So everything is working. The scale was down another 1.5lbs from yesterday. I had gone up over the weekend. That seems to be my trend. I'll go down down down over 3 or 4 days, then back up a pound or two, level off for 2 or 3 days then BAM down 1.5 or 2 lbs. I'm starting to think that's just the pattern in which I'm going to loose. I'm totally cool with that.

 

Alyse, don't worry; I won't be falling off any wagons. :) I got it together now!

 

I’m so excited for us!! WE’RE DOING IT!!!

Alyse - Day Fourty One

     Buddy and I went for a walk today, and I ran a little.  My stuff was giggling and bouncing all over the place, but I did it anyway.....it was kind of fun! Tongue out

Alyse - Day Thirty Seven

    Holy crap !!!!  I donated blood last week, and got my cholesterol level back yesterday.  It was 150 !!! Open-mouthed  Six months ago it was 219.  I am sooooo excited !
    I did the coolest thing today....I rode my bike 7.5 miles.  The most I have ever been was 5.5....I can't believe I can do that. Hot

     I think your idea about goal weights is good, Sarah.  Once you get below 200, ten pounds at a time.  I will probably do the same when I get there.  I am so glad that you are doing better...I have been a little worried that you might fall off the wagon.  Mostly I was worried, because I don't feel strong enough yet to pull you back on the wagon...hahaha 
     I was dreaming last night about running a foot race.  I used to race all the time when I was a kid...I was fast too, almost unbeatable.  But, I don't really run now...mostly because I am fat, but also because my boobs are really big and it hurts to run.  I got some really good sport bras the other day though, and now that I am more fit, I think I will try to sprint a little next time I am out for a walk.Wink
