Jo's Journal

This is my Baby Luey, I adopted him 5 months ago. That picture is from the first day i got him. Tomorrow he is going to have a new friend :) I am going to adopt a Dachshund from the shelter tomorrow morning, or as my 5 year old daughter would say, hotdog dog lol
 
The kids and puppy are sooooo adorable!!!!

OH OH OH and...... CONGRATS ON THE 180's!!!!!!! Good job!
 
I will update my ticker tomorrow morning on my weigh day, just in case the 180's was just a 1 day thing :eek: fingers crossed.

Well i am back from the shelter, and i didnt adopt Pete the dachshund..Apparently he is very overweight, and will require a special diet.I thought twice and i thought it would be better i didnt get him, unless i had no other dogs. :(

I messed up day, maybe not badly, but i had food that i promised myself i wouldnt eat anymore. My husband wanted to go to burgerking. :mad: the side salads didnt look too great, so i went with a fish sandwhich, no cheese. and onion rings instead of fries, like if that really made a difference, they are both fried in oil. ugh.. It was still morning, so i have plenty of time today to burn some of that food! lol

well i hope everyone has a great weekend
 
Try not to feel too bad about it. It's hard to avoid those places 100% of the time. Work it off like you said and just eat healthy the remainder of the day and you'll be fine :)
 
Hi Jo :)

If you want to check out the calories, here's a list of Burger King's foods and calorie content

You might not want to though ;)

Your kids and puppy are all adorable!! Thanks for sharing those pictures :)

And Wooooo Hoooo!! Congrats to you for breaking out of the 190's!
 
My day was totally horrible today..I ate everything bad and unhealthy, had a lot of fruit salad, which was made with marshmallows..a lot of sugar,i went to a b-day party, and there was just soo much food. nothing healthy! fried chicken, potato wedges, potato salad.. Argh! so i let myself go.I am not weighing in tomorrow, only because i know the scale will not be going down.

I dont think looking at the burger king menu would be a good idea either Deb! lol Thanks for the link though..I know it's a lot of calories, i remember seeing a chicken sandwhich over 800 cals at mcdonalds..:eek: Like i always keep saying, tomorrow a new day, and my weight will most likely stall for the next few days, but will get back on track. :)
 
Jen,
Memorial day sounds great! Geez how i'd love to be 180 by then! we can do it :)

I asked you what colors you liked, and i dont remember if i wrote that in your diary or mine, i can't find it :confused: I can start working on something for you, because i know you WILL reach 180! :) and with the amount of time i have now i should start beading! well i do wire work, so it requires some extra work into the piece.

Hi Jo-

I'm glad you're in for the memorial day goal. I know we can do it. I'm so jealous that you had a peek at the 180s, I hope to do the same this week. I actually went out and bought some beads today that were on sale, so I had you in mind too! I pretty much wear all colors (except yellow...I look horrible in yellow), so I love jewelry of all colors. What about you? I'm thinking I'll make you one of my "signature" necklaces. I'm impressed that you do wire work with your beading. I haven't ventured that far into the craft yet.

6 weeks til our goal date!

Once you get off track the only thing to do is get right back on track! So don't feel bad about what you ate the day before or whatever, just think and focus on what you're going to do to change that. Thinking positively is much more helpful when trying to get back on track then thinking about the negative that you did earlier. Just think positive and make those changes to get back on track and you'll do just awesome!
 
After the bad food day i am still officially in the 180's! woohoo! 189.6 time to update ticker. Hope you all have a great day :) I'm not on here much , so i appologize for not doing my daily stops to everyone's journals :eek:

I am a fan of earth colors.greens browns oranges, regardless of the seasons :p Well i dont really do wirework but most of my jewelry i do linked using sterling silver, sometimes i make the swirls out of the silver wire to make an accent to a jewelry piece. But i dont think i have the patience for the real WIREWORK :D 9 more pounds to go ! :D

Here is my etsy site with some jewelry i used to sell. I sold most on ebay so i am beginning to take them off the site. But its an idea of my jewelry i make.

Wire work just requires so much patience.. I've tried using the Jigs tomake pretty designs and i jusst don't have the patience for getting smooth curves and such... beading is much mmore fun...
 
I couldn't get the page to load with your jewelery work on it :( I really wanna see it! I'm jealous of crafty people. I'm not good at that sort of thing.

Congrats on officially being in the 180s! Bye bye 190s!
