Week in Review ~ tHE WEIGH IN

Not a good week for me here. I only walked 3 days and I fell off the wagon on Friday when I drank a little too much and ate POLLO TROPICAL! Not Good!

The result?

Not one ounce lost! Exactly the same. And I'm disappointed in myself! But I'll get over it, move on and this week will be better!

And..... I'm excited that I will be getting a pair of Sketchers Shape~Ups from the best parents in the WORLD!

Slow BUTT Sure.....

News is news.....lost 1/2 lb this week. I tried eating vegetarian week before last and it was not bad at all. This past week I had some protein and while I didn't do badly, I think I kind of liked the veggie route. I think I'll do it again this week. If nothing else, it causes me to eat more veggies, which I like.

I'll never catch up with the "kids" but as long as the number is going down, instead of up, I'm a happy girl!!

Have a slimming week!!!

CARB ADDICT!

BACK ON TRACK

I'm back on track with the walking again! After having such great success and support from "hubby" I'm back to walking again and it feels great!

I have noticed that when I started this journey I constantly thought about food. I would wake up thinking "what's for breakfast" then shortly after that was over I'd start thinking about "what was for lunch". It's crazy. Now I don't even think about it. I eat when I start to feel hungry and then move on.

It's a nice feeling to know that it doesn't have a hold on me anymore! I feel better and sleep better! It's fantastic!

Woo-Hoo!

I just got back from my weigh in and I am happy to report good news! I have lost another 1.6 pounds. That's on the heals of last weeks weigh in and loss of 1 lb. This is the beginning of week 8 and so the total is 12.5 lbs in 8 weeks. This is exciting and motivating! I'm on my way! And I can't believe that it's happening this time! Yea me! And of course, along with weight loss comes inches lost! I think this is more exciting! Here are my losses in inches!

Bust -1"

Waist -1.5"

Abdomen -2"

Hips -1"

TOTAL INCHES LOST 5.5"!

TOTAL WEIGHT LOST 8 WEEKS = 12 LBS!

On the exercise front I didn't do much last week. It rained most evenings and is just too hot to walk in the middle of the day! So hopefully I can get back into the walking this week. Although they are already reporting Thunder Storms this afternoon which will probably nix the walking along with the kid's swimming lesson. We'll see!

How are you all doing on your journey? Leave a comment and let me know!

Thought you'd never hear from me again, didn't ya?

...and yet, here I am. Still alive and kicking. In fact, kicking up a storm.

I've been plugging along - back and forth - up and down - around and sideways. I was up 1/2 a lb a few weeks ago, then down 1/2; then up another 1/2. You know how it goes. Discouragement, elation, discouragement, elation. But the good news is that we have joined a gym. Actually, it's a senior activity center with a full gym, pool and spa, walking track, game room, cafe, conference centers, movie theater, on and on. It's brand new and beautiful inside and out.

We got some ribbing from Niki and her hubby but that's okay...we need a place to walk that's not 100 degrees and it's great to not have all that rap music blaring while we're walking. Ok....so we're old....so what???? We can still be healthy.

I've finally lost that 1/2 lb for good and since DXS is also interested in watching what he eats, it's going to be easier for me. In reality, his doctor wants him to go on an 1800 calorie/day plan. It's been ages since I paid attention to calories, but I'll just steer him in the right direction.

Getting company right now so gotta go....

Happy weekend to everyone!

A HUGE {little} Thank YOU!

I have been given a sweet bit of encouragement from the woman who inspired the beginning of DTBMMBLF! 266 has give us here at DTBMMBLF the OH MY BLOG Award! Thank you so much for this! It reee--hee-hee--ly makes my/our day!

I'm here!

WOW! It's been a whirlwind of a few weeks! I was very busy getting ready for the twins 3rd birthday! We had a blast! We BBQ'd and watched the kids swim and bounce. The next day we loaded everyone up and took a boat ride to the sandbar where we floated around all day long! It was lovely! Then, of course, this last weekend was another fun filled 3 days! Saturday was Daddy's day...he and his friends went fishing down in the keys all day long. Sunday we got a baby sitter and just the adults headed back to the sandbar to float and have fun! Then of course Monday we stuck close to home and swam in our little pool and had a wonderful Memorial Day! AND THE BEST NEWS................................................IN ALL OF THAT FUN I LOST ANOTHER POUND! :) I will admit though that it has been hard. I have found my self nibbling here and there and I really need to KNOCK IT OFF! I'm in it for the long haul tho. So I have to ease up on myself! A loss of a pound is a great thing!

This summer is a busy one for us. We are planning a long trip to Dallas to visit Carb Addict & the Pea~paw lucky for me they both want to see me succeed so we will stay on program. I may have to take those few weeks off of Jenny Craig and see if I can do it on my own. But I pretty sure I can. I have learned to really watch my portions! I've really determined that that is key for me. So what I plan to do it to really "rock" it in June-mid July on JC and then keep up the portion control while away! Add a lot of swimming and walking into that mix and I should be down 25 lbs by September. I've already hit the 11 lb mark so another 14...I can do that! Easy as pie...um, I mean easy peasy! :)
