AmbaLove is Tracking the Journey!

My husband tells me all the time that blue is my color! Fortunately, I own a TON of blue. It has always been my favorite color. I went through a 6 year period where I ONLY wore blue, grey and white. I wear other colors now, but when I buy something, I always buy it in blue if it come in blue.
 
Blue is my favorite color!! I painted my bedroom back at home neon blue with neon green trim (they wouldn't let me paint it black... that was their punishment).

You do look amazing in that blue dress:)
 
Okay, I am not at all impressed. I was down to 224 ALL week until Thursday. Then it went up. Today, up again. So...my weigh in today has me up almost 3 pounds!! GRRRRRRRRR.

All I can think is that I have not been sleeping well, which affects weight, and that I made the turkey chili and ate it 4 times this week. Perhaps the kidney beans over and over were just too much carbs?

I hate changing my ticker to go back up. I considered leaving it at 227.4, but decided to face the facts. Plus...when I list my weight in the 2 lbs a week challenge, I think it should match.

Okay...one week til next weigh in. Straighten it out, self.
 
I feel for ya. I started out the week at 241. Then it went up as high as 242.5. Now I'm down to 241.5--but I wanted to be below 240 by now--so I am po'd. Gripe gripe gripe...lol
 
Well, I have been super srict with myself today to try to straighten myself out. I told my body to cooperate and go DOWN this week, or I am getting a new body.

not sure if threatening it works...we'll see.

I think threat :boxing: and coersion paired with hard work is a great strategy:)

Weight fluctuations are soo frustrating... its not your fault though ... gravity and the scale were conspiring against you for the day... DAMN GRAVITY:rolleyes:

Yeah...gravity...why can't I weigh under water? Or on the moon? I don't weigh freaking anything on the moon. I love the moon.
 
Weighing in on the moon sounds great... we should do our weigh in's at a planetarium where they have the scales that give your weight on each planet:)

Lol, trouble is, gravity is not just a good idea, IT'S THE LAW! :)

I'm trying not to weigh myself too much, the fluctuations are not motivating...

If the Chili was salty you could be retaining water?

Yep, lets band together. Onward, to break gravity. Break his little neck, more like.

Today, I am back at 227, where I was at my last weigh in. Great, I went up just for the weigh in. Gr. But at least I am back down. Now I need to go even lower for my weigh in next saturday!

I guess threatening your body does work! LOL.
 
THanks for visiting my diary Amba. It looks like you are doing well and are very motivated! Nothing like threatening your body to do what you want it to do! I hope to see that ticker move down even more.

Take care, Heidi

Hi Amber, thanks for posting in my diary. I can't wait to see my husband's face when I see him again in just over 8 months. I sure hope I look hot... lol

Its great that your back down to 227 now to keep up the good work and you'll be down more when you weigh in next saturday. I weigh in on monday so i am hoping to lose more weight but not sure since tom was just last week. I guess sometimes threatening your body does work... haha

Keep up the good work and both of us will look hot soon.
 
Thanks ladies! I am leaving town to see my mom and pick up a car from my grandpa. I leave Monday morning and return Wednesday night.

My uncle died in May and told my grandpa to give his car to my husband. It's not an attractive car (87 Celebrity), but it runs very well. We only have one car, so this will let my husband not have to take the bus to his classes. We are happy and grateful and blessed. We had to wait for everything to transfer into grandpa's name before we could get it into our name, and that has all just gone through. (The government moves SOOOOOOOOO quickly, you know!)

Anyway, hopefully I will be good and eat well and continue losing while we are there. The hard part is exercise, since I will be confined to a car for a lot of the time.

Anyway, off to bake a pork chop and a sweet potato!
 
I hope you have a great time on your trip:)

It may not be the coolest car... but if it runs and gets you to where you need to be that's what matters. What is your hubby studying in school?

You can only do the best you can... as long as you try:)
 
He is studing computer networking. And we are excited about the car, simply because the bus runs so slowly, my husband had to be on the bus 90 minutes before his class started...and we only live 8miles from his school. This will save him a lot of time.
 
I totally know what you mean... before I had a car I used to have to leave hours before class to take the train there .. .and change multiple trains.. and I am only 9 miles away... it was soo ridiculous.
 
Hey Amber,

I hope the trip goes well. Yup.. having a second car makes things so much easier. Right now we only have one and we're having a difficult time. That's okay.. I'll bug him once he gets a raise. hahaaa! Safe trip to the both of you.

:)-Sheryl
 
We are home...it is 3 am. I am tired. I will read and post in all your diaries tomorrow. But for now, sleep.
