Day 102
Two things happened this morning. One bad (but good in a way) and one good. The bad-but-good-in-a-way thing is that the monthly visitor has arrived. Ughh. I always feel so tired and crummy on the first few days. I don't feel like eating right and I certainly don't feel like exercising. But it's good-in-a- way because the alternative is not an option!!!!
The really good thing is that even though it's "that time of month" the scale is down! That makes me happy. So happy that I make the decision to count my calories today and not make excuses. I decided to drink lots of water today and pack my lunch. Good decisions for a girl in my condition, huh?????
Only 102 days until I will find myself on the beaches of Jamaica either draped in a fat girl swimsuit and a cover up or rocking a new swimsuit to show off my new confident self. I choose the latter so I am going to keep plugging away. Who's with me??????

Day 103
Not a terrible weekend eating-wise but not great either. I didn't exercise at all. Ugghhhh. The boyfriend works out of town all week. He comes home on the weekends when he can and I tend to let the exercise plan fall by the wayside to spend more time with him. Bad excuse, huh? There's no way to fit in at least 30 minutes of exercise???? Of course there is...but it's easier not to.
So back on the wagon starting yesterday. I was home with a sick kiddo and did not exercise but my eating was on target. So that's a positive on which to build. Today's eating plan has been right on as well. Didn't exercise this morning but I plan to exercise when I get home from work.
Grocery shopping tonight while the kiddos practice basketball. I would rather poke my eyes out than grocery shop. It's the worst chore on my list but has to be done! The milk I used this morning for breakfast was questionable! How sad is that?
I am going to weigh myself in the morning to see what kind of progress I have made in the pounds lost category. Fingers crossed!

Day 108
Had a good evening. Took the dog for a LONG walk as the weather is unseasonably pleasant in St. Louis for this time of year. Dinner was healthy and no mindless snacking later in the evening. Yay me!!!!
It's been a busy morning at work so I haven't had much time to even think about food. Had some yogurt with my coffee prior to the meetings and now I am ready for some lunch.
I'm trying not to weigh myself every day but it's difficult. I want to see instant results but I know that the weight loss needs to be slow and steady in order for me to sustain it. I have alot of water drinking to do for the rest of the day since I forgot to take my water bottle with me to my meetings. So cheers to a great Thursday!

Jamaica here I come! 109 days
I am heading to Jamaica in 109 days with the BF. I am looking forward to a vacation. Relaxation and spending some quality time with him.......just what the doctor ordered. But here's the thing....we are going with two other couples. Both of the other women put together wouldn't weigh as much as my left thigh! I don't want to spend the entire vacation feeling self-conscious and hiding behind a swimsuit cover up. I want to feel beautiful and confident and not be worried about my body and what other people are thinking the whole time.
So I've been on Extrapounds before and now I'm back. I am not doing any type of commercial diet or fad diet. I am going to exercise and monitor my calorie intake. And drink lots of water!!!!
Today is going great so far. Look out Jamaica.....I have you on my radar!
