I'M IN! I'M IN!
Yesssss!
Kelly called me tonight to say that she changed her mind about my being in the new class. Since she knows that I am VERY dedicated to getting this weight off and getting into the best shape that I can she felt that my missing the 1st two classes would be okay. Especially since she will be showing the others how to do everything anyways.
This way when I get there on the following week I will be the only person needing special attention and since she will be my partner (another HUGE plus!) it won't be a big deal to catch me up on what I missed.
I am sooooo PSYCHED!!!
Woohoo!!!
Just had to share my good news.
Catch ya'll later~

How LOW will it go? How LOW will it go?LOL
It went low. That evil scale of mine! HA!!
I walked in to the bathroom this morning and I threatened that evil double-crossing scale within an inch of it's "Double A" life!
It must have been shaking in its motherboard 'cuz I came up 2.2lbs lighter!
I am now at a weight that I have not seen in 12 years. Since about the time that I got married. *GULP*
From here on out I literally will be turning into a brand new person.
Because I cannot for the life of me physically remember what it was like to be any smaller than this.
We never took pictures as a kid at my house so I have no referances to go by.
The only picture that I have is my High School Graduation and all it shows is my face.
So to quote Aladdin, "It's a Whole new world!"
Yee-Haw!
Catch ya all later. I gotta go swim.
Ciao!

Hi Dawn
Congratulations on the weight loss and getting somewhere that you havent been in 12 years. That is a milestone to appreciate in itself.
I love the outfit. Most unusual. You certainly have the outfit to wear out and about if your weather gets much worse.
Take care
Love
Margaret

Congrats girl!
As for the snow suit, you might want to wear that around town this weekend as cold as it's going to be getting. You'll actually be warm in the freezer!!!

Hey SweetiePea!
Thanks for stopping by. I read over in your diary how your not feeling very well and I appreciate the effort you put in to give me some encouragement.
I hope that you don't get any sicker. Poor thing!
Just be careful with the chest thing. I made mom go to the doc today and they informed her that she had acute bronchitis. So it would seem it is going around.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
My final update for the day will be a doozy! LOL
I think that I am beginning to see a pattern in my eating habits. Sorta anyway.
Whenever dh is not here for an extended period of time, be it an overnighter somewhere or a weekend/week away, I tend to eat junk.
I am thinking it is because I do not like to be alone and I turn to my old pal junkfood.
I don't really feel bad so much as I do disgusted. Basically I had no self-control what-so-ever. And that more than anything is what bothers me.
The day started out fine but ended so-so.
Usual cereal for breakfast with skim milk
p.b. and jelly crackers for snack
low fat, sugar free, white choc. latte (only 200cals!)
1 med sized blueberry muffin for "lunch"
a couple spoonfuls of reduced sugar chocolate icing (yikes I know! I am ashamed. I hesitated to put it down because it makes it so much more real having to type it.)
Two pieces of reduced sugar b-day cake with a small scoop of reduced sugar ice cream
3 piece chicken selects from McDonald's w/o sauce which is saying alot because I use to have like 1 sauce cup per chicken strip. So a minor victory here. LOL
And a whole lot of movie style popcorn w/o butter. Again a small victory. But can it really be counted when combined with all the "set-backs" of the day?
I am for the most part disgusted with myself. I never ever do this type of binge eating. Yet today I don't know.
I do plan to get on the elliptical here before I go to bed.
Won't really help me in the long run as far as having a great day goes. But will hopefully offset some of the damage I did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step-son had a wonderful b-day celebration with us.
We got him 3 Dvd's that he has been wanting. His sister got him this wicked little thing that flings these hard styrofoam balls at you at lightening speed. So of course he was "trying" that out on all of us. All I can say is, " OUCH!" LOL
Little bro got him some knee and elbow pads for when he is skateboarding as he is not so very coordinated at it. But it does get him out from in front of his video games so I am not going to make to much fun of him. Though it does take some serious effort on my part as I have a very sarcastic sense of humor and love to play the wicked step-mom role! LOL
Of course he just laughs it all off as he knows that I am only ever pulling his leg.
Which leads me into the "little" gift that I got for him just from me.
About 6 weeks ago he got a job at the local Subway. And when I say local I mean local. It is only about 6 blocks away. Well anyway just for fun I bought a nice 4x6 frame and then put Jared the Subway guy's (the one who lost all the weight) picture in it. I told him that he better put that out somewhere that he can see it everyday because Jared is his real boss! He thought it was the funniest gift.
For those of you who may not know, Jared was this really morbidly obese guy who was going to college and finally decided to do something about his weight. What he did is he only ate Subway Subs for every meal for like a year. And walked everywhere.
And of course he lost all the weight and then became famous. And subsequantly the spokesman for Subway. If you google Subway + Jared you'll see who he is.
Well anyhow that was my day in a nutshell.
Hopefully I didn't do too much damage to my new low number.
Have a great rest of the weekend everyone!

Good morning everyone!
It is Saturday and I didn't have to work last night. So I actually feel like a human! LOL
Went to bed normal and woke up normal.
Did decide to take the kids to a Pancake House for breakfast.
Figured since I had my binge day yesterday that I might as well do this one thing and it could just all tie into yesterday and be a fresh start this afternoon.
The sun is shining BRIGHTLY here but it is still bitterly cold out.
I would love to take my puppy and kids for a walk but it is soooo cold that it would not be healthy for any of them. As for me wouldn't bother me nearly as much as I am so use to the cold. In fact even though it is as cold out as it is I still don't wear a coat. Just a t-shirt with a hooded sweatshirt.
If it gets very windy however I might put a coat on.
I need to get the house picked up and put back to rights before I head off to work today. As well as put in an hour on the elliptical.
I did half promise the kids that if they helped to pick up the house that I might take them swimming. We'll see. As I am there all the time I just don't know that I want to spend my day off there. Or get that wet before I need to go to the freezer.
Well I better get to it if I am going to get anything done today.
Hope everyone's weekend goes well.
Later~

I was reading your measurements and thought we must be about the same size. Then I saw your ticker and I couldn't believe it. I started at 220 too. I managed to stay at 200 for 5 years, then joined the forum a year ago. I lost twenty pounds in four months. Now I'm trying to lose the ten I regained.
Long story short I'm 188 now.
I'm sorry its so cold there. My word that sounds cold.
Its actually above zero here on Vancouver Island - do you know where that is?
Just thought I'd drop in to someone new's diary to see whats up.
How long have you been on this current effort?

I am the same way with food when dh is gone. I wonder why that is? Must be an emotional thing.
I did get what Mr M had, I'm just hoping to be over it soon. I got the darn flu shot too! I guess it didn't do me any good. Grrr!

Ummm pancakes, that sounds nice 
I was wondering, to you manage to do the ellipical every day? And how long do you do it for? I've got an old exercise bike in the corner, but I never do anything with it. I find it difficult to get motivated, and it's so much nicer being able to go out for a walk rather than staying indoors. I guess where you are, what with the cold, the inside is more appealing that the outdoors!
Hope you had a nice weekend

Hey Everyone!
Thanks for stopping by to check up on me.
I am going to make this real quick as I am very tired. What's new, right? LOL
I don't know if the scale was accurate on last weeks weigh-in 'cuz I am like 6 #'s up. *Shocking I know!*
So currently I am trying to see if I can get it to be even anywhere near to that again.
A few things could be factoring in to the equation to make this number come out like this...........
1. I haven't really been drinking my water like I should. It's just so darn cold and the last thing I want is a cold drink of water.
2. Been drinking caffeinated coffee. Which may not seem like much to anyone else but I was told by a doc last March "No More Caffeine". I think that me and caffeine just don't mix. Besides making me feel ill I think it also makes me retain water like mad.
3. Have not been watching the cals with an iron fist. In fact I have been a bit lax in the last few days. I need to get back into the groove. And fast.
4. I won't be able to go to any of my exercise classes this week due to the fact that I am taking the pictures for our church's UpWard's Basketball League. That totally bums me out. At least I have my swimming.
And #5 My tummy has been bothering me for a few days (could be the lack of decent food) so I am kinda in a stuck mode if you catch my drift. LOL
So...........
Basically I need to stay on track. Even while I am being so busy.
I will try to write back to everyone tomorrow. Just no energy right now.
Hope everyone had a great week!

This time of year, I drink my water warm, with a lot of lemon. (I put a lot of lemon in it when it's cold, too.)

You looked so cute in your work get up! I cannot imagine working in a freezer for hours on end. No wonder you wear all that. I get cold just walking 20ft from my office to my car..lol I would imagine that sitting in a hot tub when you get off work would sound like a wonderful thing.
I think planning your meals ahead of time will make it easier for you to avoid eating poorly when your H is gone. It helps me when I've got a busy day.
That is so cute about the little girl in your swim class. I can sympathize with her. I was scared to death of learning to swim. I didn't mind being in the pool, I just didn't like going under water or having that feeling of letting go. Then one day when I was 8, my mom and aunt decided it was time I learned to swim. It was a terrifiying experience, but I did learn. I still don't like going under water unless I have a noseplug and goggles, though. I hate opening my eyes under water w/out goggles, and hardly ever do. I love the water, but I am kinda scared of it.
I hope that scale starts cooperating. Did you take it back to the store yet?
