The Second Half of My Life

Great news! I weighed in today and am at 156! Only pounds away from my 100 pound goal! This is fantastic news right? Then why did I freak out and change my goal to 140? I still have lots of weeks left of what I paid for at the center, so I figured I may as well try to go for it. I know I'm buying much smaller clothes (10's and 12's) but when I look in the mirror I still see a big girl. I see all my problem areas and I'm just hoping that is normal when you lose a bunch of weight over ...

Weigh in today netted me a gain of 1 pound. I was distraught.....the clinician said it was probably because I had on jeans, but that didn't make me feel any better even though that could be part of it. What did make me feel better was that I realized that I had my phone in my pocket after I was already in my car on my way home! LOL, sometimes I'm such a ditz. I just really hope that on Wednesday there will be a loss because I HAVEN'T CHEATED ONE TIME SINCE OCTOBER!!! Again...............

Today was my mid-week weigh in and I am down another pound and a half!  Yay me!

It seems like the only thing I'm not having a problem with his my nutritional plan these days.  I can't seem to get anything done and I feel like I'm continuously spinning my wheels!  I'm not kidding, some days I can't even remember what I had for breakfast or God forbid, what I actually did the evening before...............ack!

My sister is coming on April 9th and I'm try...

Today was weigh in day and I made the big 8 - 0, as in 80 pounds. Actually 80 1/2 to be exact, and I want to take credit for every ounce I lose. Sticking to the Quick Weight Loss plan is easy and I'm still not having any problems, even though sometimes my menu plans change at the last minute, I am still making it work. I'm finding that people are shocked by my weight loss and I think that now they must have thought, "Oh she will never lose weight, she has no willpower." It seems like eve...

Today was weigh in day and it was 1/2 pound shy of fantabulous!  I am at 170 1/2 (my goal for today was 170 even) and I'm not complaining!

The plateau breaker was just what I needed to boost my numbers a little.

I am finding that if I can eat like this for these past several months, why can't I continue to live a healthy lifestyle when I get to my goal?  I am already working on reprogramming my brain for what is to come and how I need to make the effort

...

Well, I made it through the plateau breaker two day period without any problems (Sunday/Monday).

I stuck close to home over the weekend.  Saturday, I didn't do anything because I just couldn't get started for some reason.  I guess I needed a day of rest.  I walked to a charity event in the city where I live and work called Guns and Hoses (police vs. firemen) football game to benefit Toys for Tots.  Kudos to those who attended!

Sunday is a whole o...

Well, I had a great time at the girls night party last night and stuck to the plan. Boiled chicken on top of lettuce and tomato, diet gingerale, protein bar, strawberries........all yummy. The party was one of those lingerie parties where they also sell the adult "slumber" items..........I laughed so hard a few times that I cried so you know I had a good time. My sarcastic thoughts amuse me most of the time anyway. I only lost 1 pound since Wednesday so I'm disappointed, but I didn't c...

Hooray, it's Friday!!!  Not a payday, but still.............it's Friday! 

Had a good evening last night, biked, walked, did some bleachers at the local stadium, had a nice grilled chicken salad, did some chores around the house, watched Jersey Shore (I'm not proud that I watch that trash) and went to bed.

I have lots to do today so I will be busy and moving around alot preparing for a retreat for my bosses, but then tonight, I have a party with the girls ...

This is the year the I, along with all of my high school friends, turn 50!  Oh my God!  How did this happen?  Who were all those old people at my 30th high school reunion just a few years ago?  Old, fat, and bald.....and the sad thing is that I could actually say I fit in two of those three categories.  (Don't be smart alecky......at least I still have my hair, not to mention a few that are filling in my full beard and mustache nicely...ha ha ha!)
