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.
My measurements on 9/19/12.
Bust 40.00
Waist 32.00
Abdomen 36.00
Hip 41.50
Thigh 23.50
Arm 12.50
Weight 175.0 (lbs.)
BMI 30.04
Body Fat % 32.80
Body Fat 57.40 (lbs.)
My measurements on 10/19/12.
Bust 38.50
Waist 30.00
Abdomen 34.00
Hip 41.00
Thigh 23.50
Arm 12.00
Weight 169.5 (lbs.)
BMI 29.09
Body Fat % 32.00
Body Fat 54.24 (lbs.)
Results
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
Body Fat % -.80
Body Fat - -3.13 (lbs.)
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.

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.

Week 82
LOVE seeing new numbers on the scale! This morning, I weighed 172.0. I've now lost 67 pounds. So proud of myself.
Thursday - I didn't make it to Curves this morning. This UTI is kicking my butt! But I'm hoping to get into the dr. today. I thought it would feel good to sleep in, but now I'm hating it. I think my workouts help wake me up, because by the time I get to work, I'm ready to tackle the day. Today...its almost 9 and I am still dragging! I haven't missed Curves before work in a long time and don't plan to again. Breakfast was coffee and 2 bananas and cranberry juice, but today its sugar free cranberry juice. I didn't walk on either break. Uh, I hate feeling sick!
Made it in to the dr. and got some meds. Hoping I feel better soon. Lunch was crackers and water. Dinner was at book club. I had a delish bbq chicken sand which, salad and I had one of each of the 5 very yummy cookies.
Friday - Still not feeling well. I have no where I need to go today, so I think I'll just take it easy all day. I didn't eat until dinner, which was white chicken chili.
Saturday - Honey nut cherrios for breakfast. Lunch was some chili. Dinner was 2 shredded bbq chicken sandwhiches.
Sunday - Breakfast was a few cookies and a milk. Lunch/dinner was at the in-laws. They had Navajo Tacos. I usually have one, then have another scone with honey and butter. Today, I decided I could only have one scone. So I had a bowl of chili and one scone with honey. No exercise this weekend, but I'm finally feeling better.
Monday- I am going to have to quit coffee, I can not get over these shakes. :( Breakfast was a package of poptarts. Then I got shaky so I had some canned peaches and another package of pop tarts. And I've had TONS of water today, so I'm not sure about the shakes. I had one glass before the coffee and another right after. Now I'm up to like 5 glasses.
Lunch was half a chicken salad. Dinner was a bbq chicken sandwich. Went to Curves this morning and walked on both my breaks. I hadn't been to Curves for 4 days; missing just that much kicked my butt!
Tuesday - Went to Zumba this morning. I was thinking of just doing it with Curves at the same time, but the machine that tracks the Curves Smart wasn't working. So I decided to do just Zumba and then do Curves after wards when the internet was back up. So 30 mins of Zumba then another 30 of Curves. And today, I kicked butt. ;) It felt so good to get that much of a workout in. But I have to make a few recovery boards short so I have time to do my hair and make up afterwards.
Breakfast was coffee, 2 pop tarts and a yogurt. Lunch, lets just say its a good thing I did a full hour this morning because I pigged out. My uncle catered a lunchean for work and I helped myself to everything. Except the salad, I eat that all the time so I decided to skip it. I also had a second serving of potatoes and cobbler. But, yum, it was all so good. Until the heartburn hit early tonight. :p It was pretty bad, so I took a prilosec and skipped dinner.
Wednesday - Curves this morning. I'm going to try and go without coffee today. I've been drinking it for almost a year now, but I swear its affecting me this month. I'm not planning to QUIT it, just try to limit myself. And its not like I drink a lot. One mug a day. But to help me hopefully still get some caffiene (to avoid the headaches and hopefully wake me up), breakfast is a Vanilla Latte protien drink and some watermelon. Lunch was left overs from yesterday, but in much smaller portions! And no seconds! In the afternoon, I snacked on some more watermelon. Dinner was a tofu stir fry that my sister made. Not sure what I think of tofu, but it was ok. I don't know if I would ever cook it on my own, but now I know I won't turn my nose up at it either.

Week 81 and Curves measurements
My weight has bounced some this week, so I was pleasantly surprised when I got on the scale this morning and saw 173.8. :) Especially since I drank about a gallon of cranberry juice yesterday.
Highlights from this week: I saw someone this weekend I haven't seen in like 2 years. She told me she hardly recognized me. That made a perfect day even better. ;)
Still loving how well my clothes seem to fit me. I almost wore an old high school dress to a wedding, but my belly still sticks out just a little. I decided to hang it back up and set a goal to wear it to the work Christmas party. That is only like 2-1/2 months away. I can do this!!!!
My mom is working on getting healthy and loosing weight. So glad I can be an example to her. I love going to Curves and hearing the workers tell me they saw my mom yesterday. I'm so proud of her. My sister is also on a diet and it feels awesome to know we are all working on this together. I know I can always turn to them for support and it makes me try to be better as an example to them.
I ordered some new workout clothes from Curves. I hope I like them. I wanted some shorts since I get so hot about half way through my workout. Then I ordered a new cute tank top, a sports bra and a jacket. Its getting chilly in the mornings. I don't mind wearing a sweater while driving to Curves, but after my workout, when my hair is all done, I hate putting the sweater back on. It should hopefully all be here next week so I can wear the shorts in the 5K I'm doing. Which I think I'll mostly be walking. Maybe I can aim to run it next year.
Thursday - I was already to do a full hour at Curves with Zumba, but the instructor was sick today. So instead I did just the regular circuit, but since I had come determined to work hard, I pushed myself hard. I feel like it was one of my best workouts in quite a while. :) I also had another moment where I realize how far I'm come. When I started my diet, I could do 10 jumping jacks. I did several sets today between machines. :)
I mentioned last week I get the shakes alot. I'm convinced its my coffee. Yesterday, I skipped the coffee because of a belly ache. But today, I had my coffee and now I'm shaky. Grr, I hate it. But I can't give up my coffee. I'm going to have to just figure out the perfect amount of grounds to add, I must be making it too strong.
Breakfast was coffee and 2 bananas and a slice of wheat bread. Then around 11, I had half of a white bagel and 2 large glasses of milk. I'm hoping it will help flush out the caffeine shakes.
It must have helped cause I felt much better after about an hour. Lunch today was half a chicken salad and some of the left over apple crisp from last night. I have got to get back in control of my will power in that break room!
Lunch was half a chicken salad. Dinner was chicken Parmesan wraps. I walked on both my walks today.
Friday - Went to Curves before my dentist appt. this morning. Then afterwards I had a coffee and 6inch ham and egg sandwich for breakfast at Subway. Then we headed to the city. Lunch was a diet Pepsi and some mixed nuts. Dinner was at Ruby Tuesday. I had the Chicken Bella, mashed potatoes, salad bar and a lemonade. Then Josh and I shared Blondie for dessert. When we stopped at Maverick in Heber, I thought about getting a hot chocolate, but decided to pass since I had dessert.
Saturday - Breakfast was oatmeal and toast. Then I headed out to help my uncle with his catering business. Lunch was some cheesy potatoes. Dinner was baked beans, cheesy potatoes and some cobbler. Exercise today was just running around helping get the dinner ready.
Sunday - No exercise today, I spent the day in my craft room instead. Breakfast was coffee. Lunch was a few slices of cinnamon toast. Dinner was chicken Parmesan wraps.
Monday - Today was supposed to be my Curves measurements. I wanted to cancel cause I'm at 184.4. But J said she would come in early just to do my measurements, so I wasn't going to cancel on her. Turns out, she called in sick. So now I have 2 days to get the half a pound worked back off! I did Curves and walked on both my breaks.
Breakfast was coffee, yogurt w/ granola, and a large glass of water. No shakes today. Lunch was half a chicken salad. Dinner was tomato soup and 2 cheese sandwiches.
Tuesday - I am so PROUD of myself today! I decided to do 30 minutes of Zumba, followed by Curves. (Or as I told one lady, I wanted 1 full hour of torture.) Time wise, it cuts it close, but it is do-able. I will definitely do it again. :) I also walked on both breaks today.
Breakfast was coffee, yogurt w/ granola, a banana and a large glass of water. I should note, I drink water off and on all day, but don't record it. But while I'm trying to learn how to deal with the caffeine shakes, I'm making sure I have a large glass of water with my breakfast. Lunch was half a chicken salad. Dinner was tomato soup, 2 cheese sandwiches and 3-6 cookies. Its hard to judge, since I ate some dough.
Wednesday - Should have stayed away from those cookies! I weighted 175 this morning. I freaked for a min, but then I reminded myself of how far I've come. And how I'm ok at this weight. Its just a pound, no big deal. I went online to see what my measurements were last month, and the first thing I saw was a picture of fat me. That helped me remember just how far I have come. So what if I'm up a little, its not the 65+ pounds I used to have. And when I did my measurement at Curves, I was down 1.5 pounds from a month ago. So I'm still creeping into the right direction. Overall, the freak out only lasted a few minutes. Which just shows how I've grown in other ways. A year ago, I would have freaked for a week and not eaten.
Breakfast was coffee, yogurt w/ granola, a banana, and a cranberry drink. Lunch was half a chicken salad with a hot link (no bun) and more cranberry juice. Dinner was a small taco salad and a brownie. And more cranberry juice.
No walking on my breaks today. I am not feeling well; I think I might be getting a UTI. If I don't feel better by tomorrow, I think I'll try to get in to see a doctor. Until then, lots (and LOTS) of cranberry juice.

Week 80
I forgot to mention it a few weeks ago, but at the beginning of summer, I set a few goals. One of them was to loose 10 pounds. I was at 185 that day. Yay, I did it!
Today, my weigh in was 173.4, so I'm only down about half a pound. But I didn't eat as well as I should have this week. I'm determined to do better next week.
I'm going to a wedding on Friday. I think I might wear a dress from high school! I tried it on again last night. I think my belly might look a little pre prego or something like that, so I can't decide for sure. But I am amazed that I can even get in it! I think I bought that dress 13 or 14 years ago. Josh asked me the other day if I'm the same size as when we got married. I really don't know, but I think I'm close if not there. Maybe I was one size smaller. My prom dresses are one size smaller and I haven't dared to try them on yet. I don't want to tear them or something.
This morning I was going to do Zumba for 30 mins and then do a Curves workout. But the instructor called in sick. So I'll try it next week.
Thursday - Curves w/ zumba in the morning. Breakfast was coffee, yogurt w/ granola and a banana. Lunch was half a chicken salad and a 100 calorie pack of cookies I found in my desk. Dinner was tomato soup with a cheese sandwich, but with wheat bread. Also, I walked on both my breaks today.
Friday - I have got some baking plans today. I need to bake 2 cakes to get ready for Dasxen's birthday party this weekend. Also, Josh has been asking me to make him Craisin Oatmeal Cookies. We are going on a picnic tonight with the EEC's, so I thought this would be a perfect time to make him cookies. Then he can keep a few and I'll take the rest tonight. I did an hour on my exercise bike. And I think we found a treadmill. :) We just need to go look at it and decide where we are going to make room for it in our house.
Turns out, Josh didn't want to share his cookies, so we didn't take them to the picnic. I didn't eat much today, at least not until tonight. Tonight, I had a hamburger, 2 hot links, raspberry salad and some chips. And smores.
Saturday - What is it about a period that makes you loose control!? I know, I ask that every month. But that is because every month I swear I won't do this, but each month I do. Stupid hormones. Breakfast was coffee and bananas. Lunch was a hamburger and chips. Dinner was meatloaf. And I had several cookies today.
Sunday - Breakfast was coffee and some scrambled eggs and a small slice of meatloaf. Then I spent most of the day scrap booking and missed lunch. Dinner was a birthday party for Daxsen. I had chicken, mashed potatoes, and raspberry salad. Then I had cake and ice cream for dessert.
Monday - It was hard to get up for Curves this morning, but I did it. And I walked on both my breaks today. Breakfast was coffee and yogurt. Lunch was half a chicken salad. Dinner was meatloaf and mixed veggies.
Some days, I feel light headed. Like maybe my blood sugar is off or something. This happens like 95% of the time during the week, but very rarely on the weekends. I feel like its getting worse. So I'm going to try to eat a little bit more with my breakfast when I have coffee at work. I don't always drink coffee at home on the weekends.
Tuesday - Curves w/ zumba this morning. I think I might try doing them separately on Thursday and see how that affects my schedule of getting to work on time. I also walked on both my breaks today.
Breakfast was coffee, a slice of wheat bread, a banana and yogurt w/ granola. Lunch was half chicken salad. Dinner was meatloaf and mixed veggies.
Wednesday - I woke up around 3:30 not feeling well. At 4:30, I got up and got ready for Curves, still not feeling well. As I was driving to Curves, I realized just how committed I am to Curves right now. In the past, I would have reset the alarm to 5:30. But I did my Curves workout and walked on both my breaks.
Because of my stomach ache, I skipped breakfast and had a 7-Up instead. I even skipped my coffee. By lunch, I was feeling a little better so I had half a chicken salad and a yogurt. Dinner was a work dinner. I had a steak, potatoes, watermelon and some kind of apple crisp dessert w/ ice cream.
Today, my weigh in was 173.4, so I'm only down about half a pound. But I didn't eat as well as I should have this week. I'm determined to do better next week.
