I DID IT!!!


I lost 4.5lbs this week bringing me back to 144.5!!!

YAY - SO VERY proud of myself. Put in a lot of hard work this week and it truly paid off!!

So now time to rethink the goals - my goal was to get to 145 by Thanksgiving and I did - I got to 144 but then gained it all back the week after - so now I am back to where I started.

New Goal?!?!
131 by February 1st - I CAN DO IT!!!

Pics of my Gal
















WOW - It's Been Too Long

Well, well, well LOL

I slacked - what can I say?!?! Thanksgiving was AWESOME and that morning I met my mini-goal and weighed in at 144 - I was elated!! Eating was GREAT and then the weekend struck and all hell broke loose - I was annoyed at myself but that didn't stop me from continuing on the cycle of over eating and then a week went by and the scale was UP to 149 DOUBLE GRRRRR.

It took me a while to get back in the groove but I am happy to report that I am back on track now and hoping for a nice number come tomorrow- maybe not too nice as I didn't kick myself into high gear until Monday so its only been 3 days of good eating and LOTS of water!!
Not much else to report on - lots of xmas stuff going on - baking and celebrating.
Pics to come!!!

What a Difference a Day Makes


Ahhh, feeling so GREAT this morning. That talk I had with Self seemed to have jump start something. The scale was down 1.5lbs this morning YAY!!


Yesterdays eating was right where it needed to be and I felt really content all day - I wish when I stray off path I remember more of these days to help me get back in line - such a vicious cycle.
I think I can finally see the finish line and I am racing towards it!!!!

Dear Self:

Why are you making this journey so hard on us?

Why are we feeling so blah?? and

Why have we lost the fight in us?? Don't we want to get to goal?? Look how far we have come.

Self replied back that Self was tired and that self needs to get their head back in the game.

Sooo.....today is the day - back to basics back to journaling and counting and not going over points. Sometimes having 20pts a day SUX lol I will admit it. I have to learn to improvise and cut back on things.
How can I loose 60 pounds and start to feel fed up now?!?! I can see the fiish line and HAVE TO CROSS IT!!
