I am officially down 70 pounds since starting this weight loss journey! I'm so proud of myself. There has been moments when I never thought I would get this far. There was times when I just wanted to quit. There was times I didn't want to do my workout, but did anyways. There has been holiday feasts where I've only had one plate and not gone back for more. All of those moments have lead up to this. I hope to loose another 10 pounds, but even if I don't, I can be proud of myself and know that I have worked hard.
Another 10 pounds, I feel like I've been saying that for a while. But eventually, I hit the goal and while the momentum is going, I decide to shoot for another 10 pounds.
Thursday - Stomach feels better this morning, but now my throat hurts. I hate this time of year! I hope its not the cold and cough Josh has had for the last 3 weeks. If it is, just shoot me now.
I decided to still go do Zumba. I was the ONLY one there besides the instructor, which was Cambree today. I didn't used to like her, but now that I'm feeling a little more confident in Zumba, I like her. She's just more upbeat and faster, but I feel like I did pretty good today. I also did my 30 minutes of Curves. They are getting ready to start another contest starting next week. During Zumba, I'm pretty sure I pulled a muscle in my leg, so I decided to not walk on my breaks today.
Side note, just bought some sexy boots last night! I love how now that I love my body, I love dressing it up and accessorising.
Breakfast, I skipped the coffee today, just wasn't feeling up to it. But I did have a cinnamon roll. Lunch was tomato soup with whole grain gold fish crackers.Dinner, that was an early bedtime. I think I'm getting a head cold and just wanted to go to sleep.
Friday - Went to Curves dark and early this morning. ;) In fact, I had all my errands in town finished before the sun was up. I hate the shorter days, but I love how accomplished I feel right now. This morning, I did my measurements since I couldn't do them earlier in the week. But I held last weeks post to add them there. So if you missed it, read my last post. Vanessa was there when I did my measurements and when I saw 169.5 on the scale, I had a HUGE grin. Vanessa said "must be good."
Right now, the thing I seem to crave the most is capacinno's from Maverick, so I let myself have one this morning. Lunch was a bowl of rice. Dinner was steak and mashed potatoes with sweet & tangy sauce.
Saturday - Breakfast was a bagel and egg sandwich. Lunch, I can't remember. Dinner was my big Halloween party. I had meatloaf, monster mash potato bites, fruit w/ dip, and cheesecake for dessert. It was all delish, even if I did end up gaining 2 pounds this weekend.
Sunday - Skipped breakfast because I wasn't feeling good. Lunch was a handful of popcorn. By dinner, I was finally feeling better. I had meatloaf and more potato bites.
Monday - I've fought this sinus infection all weekend, but today I'm feeling better. At least I can breathe through my nose again. I went ahead and went to Curves this morning since I slept so well last night. Breakfast was a Special K Crisps and I only drank half of my coffee, I think it was making my cough worse. Lunch was tomato soup with crackers.
Dinner wasn't my greatest meal, but Josh is headed out of town for work for 8 days, so we decided to meet somewhere for dinner. The only place we could both agree on was Rocky's. I had some chicken strips, onion rings and a small snickers shake. I've decided they make the BEST onion rings and I'm going to quit ordering those anywhere else.
Tuesday - My stomach was off today. I only took one sip of my coffee and I didn't eat anything for breakfast. At lunch, I tried a new soup, beef and vegetables. Don't know if its cause my stomach was still squeamish, or if I just didn't like it, but I only ate half of it and threw the rest away. A few people at worked baked a fresh apple pie this afternoon. I had a slice with some ice cream around 4:30. When I got home, I showered. Then I thought about dinner, but my stomach still didn't feel right, so I went to bed instead. Oh, I did Zumba and Curves this morning.
Wednesday - Curves this morning. I'm still not sure about my stomach, so I forgot to grab something for breakfast before I left home. So breakfast was half a cup of coffee and 2 pop tarts. Note to self, I am going to stalk up on veggies and fruits the day before my period to see if that helps me stay on track. Actually, I need to stalk up on those things anyways.
Lunch was tomato soup with crackers. Dinner was some rolls at Jessica's while we did crafts. Followed by a caramelita. Then when I got home, I realized it was freezing and I had to build a fire. By the time that was done, I just wanted to go to bed.

Week 85 and Curves Measurements.
I have felt like I'm working so hard, but didn't think I was seeing any results. I was proved wrong this morning when I did my Curves measurements. The results are at the bottom, but the happy news is I'm down 5.5 pounds and 7 inches since my weigh in last month!!!!!
Thursday - Zumba for 30 and Curves for 30 this morning. Breakfast, I decided to treat myself a little by having hot cocoa powder in my coffee instead of the sugarless stuff I've been using. Then I had some pineapple and a Special K crisp.
Then I quit tracking my food until Monday... I could try to remember, but I'm not sure if I'll get it all.
Dinner on Thursday I think was cheesy cauliflower soup. Lunch was nachos from Maverick. This was because Stewart's was out of their deli salads. So was Maverick. Maverick was also out of egg rolls and corn dogs.
Friday - Breakfast was coffee and a Special K Crisp. Lunch, I think I didn't eat anything because I was at the salon all day. Dinner was cornish game hens with rice and decedant brownie w/ ice cream for dessert.
Saturday - Don't remember breakfast or lunch. Dinner was more cornish game hens with rice and brownie w/ ice cream for dessert.
Sunday - Can't remember breakfast. Lunch was Cheesy Cauliflower soup in a bread bowl. Dinner was just the yummy left over rice and more brownie for dessert.
Monday - Breakfast was coffee and a Special K Crisp. Lunch was tomato soup and some whole wheat Goldfish crackers. Dinner was at Subway with my mom. I was starving, so I got a foot long chicken tuscano sandwich. Curves this morning and I only walked on one break today. I missed my afternoon walk because I was at the dr. for my yearly appt. I hate those appointments, but I love the peace of mind that comes knowing I am hopefully cancer free another year. I always do my appointment in October since it is breast cancer awareness month.
Tuesday - Zumba for 30 minutes this morning, followed by Curves for another 30. I've had this thought for a while that I'm actually kind of excited for work to go to their 5 day a week schedule so I can sleep in a little bit. But then last night I realized, the Zumba time won't be changing. :p So I guess I'll only get to sleep in 2 days a week on the non Zumba days. The Zumba days, well, I'm not sure what I'll do with that extra hour between it and work, but I love Zumba too much to give it up.
Breakfast was coffee and a Special K Crisp. I know I haven't been documenting my water like I should, but I am still drinking it. Each morning, I start my coffee, then get my office ready for the day. Just before unlocking the doors, I take my water cup with me, fill it up and grab my coffee. Then I just alternate sipping from both cups all morning. I really think it does help.
Lunch was a chicken dumpling type soup. It was pretty good. But I've noticed, I've replaced my one tracked lunch of salad to a new one tracked lunch of soup. I'm going to have to work on that. I could alternate days, except I only eat half the salad when I get it and by the 2nd day its kinda limp and sad. I don't know if I could eat it on day 3.
Dinner was Stir fry at my mom's. Then I took a nice long soak in her hot tub. That felt so good! I've missed that, but mostly because its been broken for several months. But now that its working, I've realized I won't use it much because of my early bed time. But tomorrow I get to sleep in, so tonight I decided to hot tub. I was just going to for an hour, then until I was to a certain chapter in my book. Ya, I can't make this a regular thing. I get in there and get so relaxed and the only thing that gets me out is by finishing a book. I didn't get home until 10 last night and after showering, I didn't get to bed until 11.
Wednesday - Today, I got the rare opportunity to work in the Altamont office. I like this because its so much closer to home for me. But also, they are only open half a day, so I didn't have to be to work until 9. (Hence the late night last night.) But it was funny, my body woke up at 5 in a panic! It knew it shouldn't still be asleep. But I went back to sleep until the alarm went off at 6. Then I got up and road my exercise bike for 75 mins. I'm a little sore. I know I'm in shape, but I haven't been on my bike in months and I think those muscles became a little spoiled. But I'm sure with winter coming, I'll probably use it more. (Side note, did I mention we were getting a treadmill in previous posts? It didn't work out and we've decided to wait until we find a home to buy.)
Just as I was headed out the door, I realized I hadn't eaten yet. I also remembered how cold the Altamont office is. So I made some coffee and grabbed a Special K Crisp. I won't get my 15 minute breaks today, so my exercise bike this morning will probably be all I do, but that is why I went longer.
Forgot my lunch. So I went to Pizarros and ordered a Philly Chicken Sandwich with onion rings. Then before my order came, I started to feel sick to my stomach. I ate lunch, but spent the rest of the day thinking it would come back up. I finally started sipping on a Sprite around 3:00. It seemed to help a little bit. Dinner was at scrapbook group. Some kind of soup in bread bowls. I ate, but then after that, started feeling sick again.

Bust -1.50 (Wish this number would QUIT shrinking!)
Waist - -2.00 (VERY happy with this number!)
Abdomen -2.00 (Very happy with this number!)
Hip -0.50
Thigh - -0.00 (Need to work this area harder, but it really has always been one of my biggest struggles)
Arm - -1.00
Weight - -5.5 (lbs)
BMI - -0.95

Curves adds all the results together for a total loss of -7.00 inches and -5.50 (lbs.). So that means since starting Curves, I have lost a total of -16.50 inches and -11.00 (lbs.) and I've had a total of 96 workouts.
Jodi asked me what I've been doing different. I've been watching my portion size better again. I'm also trying to not bake goodies for the hubs when he's home. But now that he's loosing weight to, he's more okay with that.
Hope this doesn't sound wrong, but I told him he can't get below 180. I finally weight less then my husband and that is a big deal to me. But that seems to be his goal weight anyways, which he is pretty close to since he never got as big like I did. I have noticed he needs new jeans cause his butt looks saggy in the ones he has now. But he's hard on jeans so I decided to wait until he wears the ones out he has now before buying new ones.
The other big change I've made is doing Zumba on its own. I admit, I have a panic attack almost every time because by the time I do the full hour workout and go my hair & makeup, I have about 7 minutes to get to work. But I haven't been late yet so I'm going to stick with it. Especially since I lost 7 inches this month. :)
I can never say it enough, I'm so proud of myself. This has not been an easy journey, but it is so worth it.

Week 84
I don't know if I trust the scale this morning. It said 170.8. Wow! That is so close to the 160's! This is the first time I've seen 170 so I won't be surprised if it goes away for a few days, but now I know it is possible. It just feels weird cause I'm just coming off my period and I feel like I should be higher. But not going to complain.
Awesome thing happened during this week. I've had this Halloween shirt for YEARS. Like probably 10 years. Its just a simple black, long sleeve shirt with a small pumpkin on it and it says Old Navy under it. A few years ago, it didn't fit anymore. Last year, I was thrilled when it fit. This year, its too big! This is the one shirt I can't give up. I can remember about 8 years ago, I was having a bad day. I can't remember what it was, but I remember just by wearing that shirt, I felt better.
I was pretty sad when I realized its too big. Yes, I could still wear it, but I take great pride in wearing clothes with no "x" in the size. No one would know but me. But it still upset me. So while in the city last weekend, I went to Old Navy in hopes of finding something to replace it. All they had was little kid Halloween shirts. :(
The next day, we went to Savers to buy stuff for Halloween costumes. (Side note, now that I'm small enough to buy costumes, I actually prefer to make them. Odd, but fun.) They had a small rack of Halloween shirts, most of them children sizes. But the LAST shirt on the rack was THAT shirt. In MY size. Of course I bought it!
I'm wearing it today, and it fits almost perfectly. I just feel like the previous owner shrunk it some. Josh says its okay if my underwear peeks out, but I told him I don't like that at work. So I'm going to wear it today and pay attention to if I adjust it a lot or not. I'm hoping it doesn't bother me so I can find a loving home for the other shirt.
So I've noticed that a day or two before my period, my hormones go off the wall. I almost feel like my body is screaming inside. I have a problem controlling my temper and find myself slamming drawers and stuff at work. And its all over little stuff, but I think that is how the screams present themselves when they escape my body. So I've been working on it. But its so hard! I feel fried and frazzled and so stressed! I've decided that is why I have a harder time controlling my thought process when it comes to food this time of the month.
Thursday - Yep, those hormones were RAGING today! By 3:00, I was done with the day. DONE! So I'm letting someone else cook dinner because I can just not deal with it. Oh, but first. Let's see. Today I did Zumba for 30 minutes and then Curves for 30 minutes. It really was the highlight of my day. I wore a dress today so no walks. Breakfast was 2 pop tarts and a small coffee. Lunch was spent looking for a new bathroom sink (part of the stress from last night). So I just grabbed a crispito and some potato munchers at the deli. Dinner is Sweet & Sour chicken from the China Star. Not half, the whole thing. The hormones screaming inside was louder then the regret. Or maybe the screaming was choking the regret.
Friday- Got the chance to work some over time again today. So breakfast was french toast, coffee and eggs and Cowan's Cafe. Lunch was a Philly Sandwich with fries and Daniel's Summit. Dinner, I was too tired, I went to bed instead. Lots of walking today.
Saturday - Breakfast was some cinnamon toast. Then this afternoon, my mom and I headed to the city. I didn't really get a lunch, but dinner was at Ruby Tuesday. I had some chicken tacos, salad and onion rings. I thought I was safe cause it was chicken, but later my mom and I were looking up our food on Weight Watchers and mine was more calories then I thought it would be. But since I didn't have the lemonades, I'm ok with what I had.
Sunday - Breakfast was just a coffee from a gas station. Then we were off to shop. :) Lunch was again at Ruby Tuesday, this time I had the Chicken dish that is listed on their Fit & Trim menu (I can't remember what its called), salad and a small bite of mac n cheese. But I filled up on salad pretty good, so most of my meal went home to be left overs. Dinner was cowboy casserole and I had a few Oreo's for dessert. I've decided to not even fight against my period this month. :p
Monday - Curves this morning. I did better then I thought I would. I ended up getting up at 4 am with Josh. I didn't figure I could get another 30 minutes of sleep. So I was a little tired and with the cramps I didn't think I'd do well. But I did. BTW, my mom is kicking ass at Curves. While I was there one day last week, Jodi told me to check with my mom and get her good news. She has lost almost 20 pounds already and several inches. I'm so proud of her.
Breakfast was coffee and some Special K crisp thingies. I thought they looked like pop tarts on the box, but they aren't near as big. Which is ok. But it said no need to heat. I didn't care for them cold. So I might try microwaving them tomorrow. I also had some pumpkin cookies because I decided to drink a full cup of coffee and I didn't think the crisps would be enough food to keep away the shakes. Lunch was tomato soup with crackers. Dinner was cowboy casserole and some cherry cobbler. I also walked on both breaks today.
Tuesday - Zumba this morning, followed by another half hour of Curves. :) I've started doing my Curves stuff as soon as they start their cool down song. That works perfectly! Breakfast was coffee, a Special K Crisp and some pineapple. Lunch was a Weight Watchers soup. I am in love with these little soup cans that you can just throw in the microwave and they are the perfect size. Dinner was cowboy casserole and some oreos. I had errands to run today, so no walks.
Wednesday - Curves this morning. Breakfast was coffee and a Special K Crisp. I tried heating them in the microwave yesterday. It was good, but I didn't get to my 2nd one (they come 2 in a package, so added together they are about the size of one pop tart), once they cool down, they get a little hard. Lunch was a Weight Watchers soup. Dinner was 2 small slices of pizza. Note to self, you NEED to go grocery shopping! Walked on both my breaks today.

I also had some pumpkin cookies because I decided to drink a full cup of coffee and I didn't think the crisps would be enough food to keep away the shakes. Lunch was tomato soup with crackers. Dinner was cowboy casserole and some cherry cobbler. I also walked on both breaks today.
Tuesday - Zumba this morning, followed by another half hour of Curves. :) I've started doing my Curves stuff as soon as they start their cool down song. That works perfectly! Breakfast was coffee, a Special K Crisp and some pineapple. Lunch was a Weight Watchers soup. I am in love with these little soup cans that you can just throw in the microwave and they are the perfect size. Dinner was cowboy casserole and some oreos. I had errands to run today, so no walks.
Wednesday - Curves this morning. Breakfast was coffee and a Special K Crisp. I tried heating them in the microwave yesterday. It was good, but I didn't get to my 2nd one (they come 2 in a package, so added together they are about the size of one pop tart), once they cool down, they get a little hard. Lunch was a Weight Watchers soup. Dinner was 2 small slices of pizza. Note to self, you NEED to go grocery shopping! Walked on both my breaks today.

The other day I was visiting with someone and she asked how I had been loosing my weight. I told her I lost about 30 on Weight Watchers, 30 on my own and I've lost about another 10 on Curves. She then asked me if it made me sick to think that I had 70 pounds to loose. My first thought was, ya, it did. I was a fatty. But as I thought about it that night, I decided I don't feel sick over the fact I've lost 70 pounds.
I LOST 70 POUNDS!!!! That is no easy thing to do. It was by far much easier to put on. I will not be disgusted with myself for LOOSING weight. I will shout it from roof tops: I lost weight and so can you! I'm not making a sales pitch, I'm just trying to share the truth. I was sick over the fact that I was FAT, but now that I've done something about it, I'm not sick or ashamed. I am proud.
I do hope to loose just a little more. Just one pant size would be nice. But at least I'm to a point where I can be proud of myself and enjoy my body. I used to hate my body. That made me hate myself. That affected my relationship with others. It was not a good place to be.
As I've lost weight, I've been able to unbury myself. I am amazed at how much better I feel. I love life more. And I don't think its just because I feel skinny. I think loosing weight has helped me gain confidence in myself and it has made me better in other ways too.
I know I get vane at times. But I think I've earned it. I worked my ass off over the last 18ish months. It was hard, and it still is. Some mornings, I jump out of bed at 4:30 am with no problem. There are other days I have to drag myself to Curves. But I know if I don't do it, I will regret it. I know if I DO do it, I will be happy with myself and that much closer to my goal. My health is my #1 priority now. If I don't think I have time for a workout, I FIND it. Its only 30 minutes.
I love it when my husband tells me how sexy I am now. I love the sexy pj's I found to wear to bed each night. I'm not going to take up pole dancing, but I feel like I have the right to show it off a little. I am no longer ashamed of my body.
Its been hard. So HARD. But so worth it.

Week 83
Only down half a pound, but I can tell my period is coming. (Ugh, hormones!)
I decided to buy some new workout clothes. LOVE them! I also bought a sports bra. That is so much nicer to work out in! But I just might have to wear my regular bra on measurements day because it really sucks my breasts in. I don't want to look like I've lost 3 inches just because they are smashed.
Thursday - Did Zumba for 30 mins, then did Curves for another 30. I love that workout. Today, I felt like I'm finally catching on to Zumba. I am not coordinated at all, but today I was keeping up and doing the steps right! This girl can now do the grapevine.
Breakfast was a protien drink and some watermelon. Around lunch time, I missed my coffee! But I don't like to drink THAT much caffiene after morning, so I got a Diet Coke. Lunch was a 6 in roasted chicken sandwich from Subway and some of the left over potatoes from yesterday. Josh ended up coming home tonight, so he stopped and got us dinner at China Star. I had Sweet & Sour pork, rice, eggroll and wontons. I ate half then put the rest in the fridge for later.
I forgot to keep track for a few days. So Friday - Sunday is a guess off my memory. I think its pretty close.
Friday - I ended up working today for my regular job, but it was out in the field. We started the day oat Cowan's Cafe. I had eggs, 1 slice of toast, a cup of coffee w/ some hot chocolate in it, and a small peice of the ham. (I gave the rest to someone else.) Lunch was at Daniel's Summit. I had the Philly Steak Sandwich and some onion rings. Dinner was the rest of my China Star meal.
Saturday - Breakfast was oatmeal. Then I spent the afternoon helping my uncle with his catering business. Lunch was an root beer float and a roll. Dinner was leftovers from his dinner. I had some beans, potatoes and ribs.
Sunday - Breakfast was oatmeal. Then I spent all morning and most of the afternoon in my craft room. (I finished my Alaska scrapbook!) So lunch/dinner was around 4:00. I had some beans, potatoes and ribs.
Monday - Breakfast was a yogurt parfait from Maverick. I only drank like a quarter of my coffee today. After Curves, I always go buy my salad from Maverick for lunch. This morning, they weren't made up yet. When I went back at lunch, they were SOLD out. :( I only get 30 minutes for lunch so I didn't have time to go somewhere else, so I had a corn dog and 2 egg rolls from Maverick. Dinner was a really yummy potato soup I made in a bread bowl. Went to Curves this morning and walked on both my breaks.
Tuesday - Did Zumba and then Curves this morning. I really enjoy those hour long workouts. Breakfast was a yogurt, banana and a small cup of coffee. Lunch was half a Maverick salad. I'm starting to get tired of those, I need ot come up with some new lunch ideas. Dinner was potato soup in a bread bowl. Also, I walked on both my breaks today.
Wednesday - I am so sluggish this week. I think its because Josh is home sick. He coughs all night and I'm not sleeping as well as I used to. Plus, last night, we went to bed an hour later then I would have if I had been home alone. At least the week is halfway over. Did Curves this morning and walked on both my breaks. Breakfast was coffee, yogurt and 2 poptarts. Lunch was half a chicken salad. Dinner, oh, my day just went down hill after work. I thought about just skipping dinner and going to bed, but I was too hungry. So I had some funeral potatoes.
