SOS...I am sinking the boat!!!

well last week i was up 1 pound or more, this week i lost that pound and another pound....so I am under 170 now....that makes me excited...
 
havent been around in awhile. still doing really pretty good with the eating. my wine drinking is still sabotaging me. no more no more no more. i gotta hit the treadmill tonight for my last chance workout

i am sorry i dropped the ball on the challenge but too much for me to keep up with, with my ice show...thank goodness thats over

so back heavy duty on being good. i think i can drop 5 pounds easily in a week now that i have only had a good 1 pound loss in the last two.

I can fit easily into my size 14 jeans now and maybe even squeeze my butt into my 12's uncomfortably....so thats a goal.

hope all is well in the world here...
talk soon
 
Hey you, im hopin you will be around a bit more.Im glad to hear everythign went well with the ice sho.

Your wine is my slushies, LOL...

I have no doubt in my mind that you cant get rid of 5 lbs in a week...hope that came out right.

Woohoo on the jeans.

 
Hey relly

all is good

I vowed no drinking this week...its been tough..thats not good, it shouldnt be tough to stop drinking...anyway..i have written every morsel down that i have put in my mouth and i joined a gym for the month. Seeing if I can kick start things again

good news
i put on some jeans the other day and had a few people say "boy your butt looks good"...too bad they all were of the female persuasion...but i bet some guys were saying it too in their mind

here is how much I have lost in measurements

5 inches on my bust (sorry guys)
6 inches on my waist
5 inches on my hips
1 inch on my arms (the gun show is still in town)
1 inches on my legs (figure skaters have muscles anyway)
 
This is the 2nd week I have been very very good on my diet. I have exercised almost everday in some shape or form. Going to the gym and doing cardio mainly and some weight.

Last night I splurged a little and so today I did an hour on the treadmill with some intervals of weight training in between.

I am stuck at 20 pounds for like the last 3 or 4 weeks, up 2 down 2, I want to definitely break that 20 pound barrier.

One thing that has improved is my cardio, I can now run 5 to 10 minute intervals on the treadmill. This is exciting seeing that my foot was really bothering me when I started this journey. Maybe I can go back to my "zumba" exercising if i am feeling better.

Well I am going to stay really low cal for dinner becasue I weigh-in in the morn.
 
2 hours until weigh in. I am nervous. I really shouldnt care and really shouldnt focus on that number but it is ingrained in me (is it ingrained or engrained)

The hubby has totally embraced this new eating. He was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes a few months ago and so between he and I we are grocerying better, cooking better, eating better and have lost about 40 pounds between us.

I never thought 3 months ago that I would look forward to eating "nutritiously". I have made some very positive changes and also trying new recipe's and combinations. Right now my fave breakfast is yogurt (Kroger low carb) with black berries or some kind of fruit, a tbsp of flaxseed and then a weight watchers bagel or whole wheat english muffin. I am very happy I discovered fruit and yogurt. At night it is like a dessert, you can even put a little fat free cool whip on it or some sugar free pudding with it. Very satisfying.

Last night I took zuchini, tomatoes, onions and brocolli (any veggie will do), put it in a 9x 11 pan (sprayed with pam), took a can of delmonte pizza sauce and dumped over it and then topped with about 1 cup of mozzarella. I entered it in weight watchers recipe tracker and it was 1 point per servings. I put 8 servings down for the recipe. It was wonderful. Kind of like a noodle-less lasagna, or a crustless pizza.

We have been doing some veggies on the grill as well and turkey burgers with alot of spices.

I guess I am just amazed at how I can look forward to meals that are not ladden with fat and butters and cheeses. Many times I will forego potato for another veggie.

My cardio has greatly improved. I hope I can get up to running 30 minutes on the treadmill. I am excited about this too.

Anyway, though I am stuck at 20 pounds, I feel very very good. If I keep working this hard I am sure that I will be down my next 20 pounds in no time.

The May 11th date (my target date) is coming up soon, I am hoping to lose at least 5 - 10 pounds more before then, with as slow as its coming off that might not happen. If no one wants to read back...5/11 is my husbands 50th bday and I vowed to be a WILF by then and make him feel like a 25 year old ;-).

This week (the 23rd) is the 2nd year anniversary of my oldest dtrs death. I miss her so much, but am glad I am out of the rut of "eating and drinking" my greif away. I feel like so much has happened since she died. God if only I could hold her again and tell her I love her. Her friend who was driving when she was killed hasnt talked to me in about a year. I dont know whats going on, but I suspect she has flashbacks/memories of being with my dtr in the car that I will never know or understand. I talked to her mother the other day and we are going to go to the memorial cross on Thursday and clean it up and put new flowers. I dont know if the dtr will come. She and my dtr were best of friends. She was convicted of vehicular homicide but my husband and I asked for probation for her because we know she loved my dtr so much, and she was given probation and 540 hours of community service. There have been times I have questioned our decision but I know she wrestles with demons in her head. I get sad she has stopped talking with me but I imagine it has more to do with herself and her guilt than with me. I dont know. Since the accident I have flashbacks and some PTSD associated with what I went through the days after the accident but maybe havent dealt with. 2 years ago it happened....I cant believe how time flies.

anyway weightloss warriors...hope your day is bright.

love Karen
 
i am having the INCREDIBLE munchies. I want to binge really badly. I have been fairly good and weigh in tomorrow. I think I am going to have to maybe splurge after I weigh in so I can get rid of this feeling. Its awful.

Good plan Stan LOL!!!
 
RELLY!! HEY!!HELLO!!!

You are my first visitor in so long. Thank you, I was feeling so unloved :). I guess I havent been visiting others either. I need to get back to it.

The weather here is WONDERFUL!!! It is going to maybe get to 85 today. I am so excited. I cant wait to put on a spring dress for work tomorrow. I know they are going to fit me so differently than last year. I have an addiction to dresses. I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I can cuss like a sailor but dress like a real wooooman. LOLOLOL.

I have to weigh in in an hour. ARGH. Why do I hate weigh in days so badly. I want to get to 165, but I doubt that I will...that would be a stretch to lose 3 pounds since I had a little ice cream the last few nights ;-). I just had to give my craveryself something sinful. I tried to be good otherwise but I can think of a few times this week I should have done something different. OH WELL.. SE LA VI. Or however you say that....

I weigh in at 10 am and my scale says 166 point something. That is still down so I will be happy for any loss. I was thinking (with a big inner smile) no matter what, I am pretty close to the 150's, I havent been in the 150's in about 4 years. GOODNESS GRACIOUS GREAT BALLS O FIRE!!! Thats so awesome. YAY ME. (I am getting my Alta personality on here).

I think the running is helping. I did 15 full minutes on the treadmill yesterday. thats right 15 full, non stop minutes. YAY ME (again).

Still alot of work ahead, but I am so proud of myself.
 
:DI like ya honey I just got use to you not really posting for awhile and then Ive just been a little pre occupied and busy and of course exhausted as usual!!!

Im really happy at the moment:)

WOW good for you on your weight, no wonder your getting compliments adn YIPPEE for 15 straight mins, YOU GO GIRL!!!

I will drop back in later to see how weight in went. I bet ya made it to 165:D!!!
 
well i hit 165!!! :). I am just short of 25 pounds..like 4 ounces. I shoulda ripped off my clothes and stepped back on the scale...it would have been down the 4 ounces no problem

it is so pretty out that I ended up going to a nice little nearby town and shopped. they had a rack of clothes for 10 bucks and i bought a cute pair of jeans (junior size 13's) and pink top. So 20 bucks. The jeans are a little low rider in the back...but if i wear a longer shirt not a problem. they would see my sensible cotton briefs instead of buttfloss....i dont wear those little strings up my crack....(if this post doesnt bring my followers back nothing will)

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!....keep working hard!!! :D!....stick it to em ladiesssssssss.....(that's what I tell my boobies in the morning when I look at my bf...alanipple :reddevil:...BLAST EM!!! POW POW! )!! :reddevil:!!! YAY YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! !!!! AMAZING WORK!
 
alta, do you have boobies like those girls in austin powers that shot up the joint with their gunipples? LOL..LUCKY!!!!

i had my little binge last night...i feel good today...i didnt do too badly, i binged on good stuff but i was "FULL"..it seemed like forever I had that totally full feeling...even though I am not hungry...does that make sense?

okay

well out to start my day...i have been off work since last wednesday..lets see what is happening there. i am a little afraid...they are slowly letting people go.
 
well...i guess it wasnt a good day to go into work. I got there and within a few minutes they called me in. I thought maybe they were going to ask me to go full time because of all the recent lay offs, but unfortunately they laid me and 6 others off too. 2 weeks severence pay. The owner was very nice and said if they turn this thing around and get busy again he would like to have me come back. I love that place and would be back in a minute.

I worked the rest of the day and helped my salesguy put in a big quote (keeping fingers crossed). They said I could work till Thursday (end of this pay period) or not, they will pay me until then anyway. I dont have a lot to do but I am going to go through my emails at home.

I really hope that place pulls through...I love it there. They have been so good to me.

I told my friend that I guess now I can totally concentrate on getting a hot bod........ :)
 
so i ran the treadmill for 30 minutes yesterday. did some weight training

my diet is going okay except again the wine. i didnt drink for 2 weeks and i lost like 4.5 pounds between the 2, that should be incentive enough. i am going to a redwing/duck party tonight and my plan is to make some lo cal dips and also to drink only diet pepsi

i would hate to go in with a gain on monday as i want to hit my 25 mark and damn get closer to the 150's. I havent seen the 150's in about 4 years (or more). In december it seemed like i would never ever see them again. Now, I feel like they are just within reach.

I cant say enough about how having my husband work with me as far as the food/recipes has helped. He is looking really good too. It sure makes the sexlife better ;-). I will spare you the details.... ;-)

We are truly truly making changes in our lifestyle and it hasnt been that hard. The exercise sometimes isnt easy for me as I have to force myself to do it, but maybe with having this time off I can get in a morning routine. The hard thing is taking 2 showers a day....so if i do it before my morning shower the better. I am going to try to transition my treadmill running to outside.

Well I have a lunch date with a friend and I dont know what I will eat..argh..salad i guess. Hope all is well with the warriors here.

Hugs and flowery shit
Me.
