Bellaryna's Journey

Hope work goes well. Maybe bring a book or puzzle book or something of the sorts to keep you busy?
Keep up the great work and I'm sure you're probably just retaining water or something silly like that. Just watch what you eat and you'll be good. :]

Hi Bell, just got done reading your story. WOW can we all relate to the eating and not being hungry saga! I'm so happy for you, 2 pounds is a lot of weight girlfriend. Really it is!!! Your doing fantastic. And I LOVE your picture, that water is so pretty and it looks so relaxing!! You know you have a gorgeous face, and once you meet your goal of weight loss, OH MY GOSH, your going to be a total knock out! Not to say that you have to lose weight to be a knock out, but your going to be so much healthier and trust me, as you lose you'll see a big difference in your moods and the way you perceive things, I'm so excited for you. And how wonderful that you have two little cheerleaders to help you along the way. Good luck on your new journey, and I can't wait to see you at the end. Have a very nice weekend!! And remember, take it one day at a time, one pound at a time, and one meal at a time. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Hey SweatPea
Is that suppose to be SweetPea or SweatBee? :rotflmao: Just wondering?! :jump:
I'm really glad that you are going to join in this journey with me!
Not much time to talk but the kids and I went for a "leisurely" 20 minute bike ride around the 'hood. And I just got done emptying their pool. That's gotta count for some burned up cals!
Talk to you later.
Keep the pace!!

Hey Elle,
My weekend would be so wonderful if it wasn't for this sinus infection that manifested on Saturday! Other than that I have exercised everyday this weekend and watched what I ate.
Even went to Pizza Hut and had only 2 pieces of their Fit and Delicious pizza. Only 170 cals a slice!!!
Anywho gotta go head to work.
Hope your weekend was *Marrrvelous, Darling!* (Note the dragged out R's you must say it like Lovey from Gilligans Island!!:) :rotflmao:
Tell later........

Hey Elle and Everyone Else!!!
First things first!!! I am officially down 4.8 pounds since last Monday!!!! :jump:
I can't believe that I have lost nearly 5 pounds in one week. It sure does help to keep me motivated. ;)

Yeah the sinus infection is gross :cry: but I am feeling better today. Not nearly as stuffed up. Didn't have any time today to ride the beastie but did go for a 15 minute bike ride with my kids. (While we were riding company showed up so had to hightail it home)
The Anniversary celebration was wonderful. We had breakfast together at one of out favorite places to eat. Split a western omelette (sp?) made w/eggbeaters, mushrooms, ham, onions, green peppers and cheese across the top. Also hashbrowns and rye toast only blackberry jam. From there we headed down to our local Botanical Gardens. We had one of our 1st dates there so it was really nice to remember everything. We also updated a photo that we had taken 11 years ago. (attached)
We were going to go see a movie but the movie times just wouldn't cooperate with our time schedule. Ended up eating an early dinner/late lunch at Lone Star Steak House. I got a 9oz sirloin, fresh veggies w/o the butter sauce or seasonings and a fat salad with the dressing on the side. Except for the salad everything was cut in 1/2 as soon as it arrived. Oh we even had one of those onion bloom things. But I only had like 7-8 pieces with very little dip and into the box it went. It was funny because I kept bugging the waitresses about whether or not they had calorie info and Gil finally says," Just eat the food and don't worry about it for one day."
I was like no can't do that. To me (and I think I know myself pretty well by now) I miss one day and it is all done. So I gotta stick to it everyday all the time.
Aside from a homemade strawberry shake (4oz) I haven't had anything else to eat. Just not hungry.
It was so very nice to spend all day with my hubby. We try to do that on a fairly regular basis.
Looking forward to working out tomorrow and continuing this downward trend.

lol you sound like David and I. When we're cooking I ask him for calorie info on everything. He gets annoyed sometimes but overall he gets it. :p Great job on eating well when you could have so easily gone off course!!!

That is about the sweetest thing. Thank you so much!
Your absolutely beautiful too!
We actually had a pic taken on one of our first dates so I wanted to update it. If I can figure out how to scan it in I will post it. Then you can see a before / after thing.

That's such a cute idea about "updating" the picture!! Now you got me wanting to do something like that and update it every year on our anni. It'd be so amazing to look back on them. You are one smart chicky!

Well if you are going to wrap duct tape around your head - can I help? LOL :rotflmao:
 
Well I blew it today.......I knew I would. :cry:
My good friend from Canada was here with some more friends of ours from the past. It was so nice to sit and visit. But we basically were doing your good old American cookout. Hotdogs, hamburgers, chips, beans........you get the idea.
Knowing all this I did prepare 2 Turkey burgers for me and I did eat whole wheat buns with the better for you cheese. But I still ate come chips, cake and ice cream along with small little snacks of fruit and veggies. As well as having fruit loops for breakfast and a late snack since we ate so late in the day. Also didn't get on the beastie like I was going to nor did I drink my water like I should have.
Though I did not pig out (the girls did say they thought I showed incrediable restraint) I feel I did by eating foods I would not have normally eaten.
And to top it all off........all the leftovers are in MY fridge. :eek:
I don't even want to think about how much it might have set me back to not "think" about my calories for a day.
Feeling pretty digusted with myself right now. :mad:
I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens to the scale.
I do plan to jump right back into the game tomorrow. But for now I am going to go wallow in my self pity.
As a side note Gil came home towards the end of the festivities and announced that the house was turning into a chick-flick. :beating: (There were 6 women and 7 children.) All that needed to happen was someone needed to break-up with someone and get back together right before they left and to have someone else crying while in the background a group of us would be singing a 60's song. :rotflmao:
Hence he locked himself into our room watching baseball and presumably building up his testosterone levels until he felt safe enough to venture forth again into the estrogen pool. :boxing:
Here's hoping for some good scale news tomorrow...........
Bellaryna
 
HI Bell! It's okay to have a blow it day, how often do good friends come over and a cook out happen?? probably every few months right?? Your fine, so don't beat yourself up over it. Just get back up on that bandwagon and work harder tomorrow. Oh and drink plenty of water and maybe do a little walking. I'm sure you'll recover in no time!! Good luck!
