weekend almost done

I am happy to post that I have made it through the weekend doing very well for myself for a change.  We went to the movie "Wild Hogs" yesterday and boy was that funny.  If your looking for just a mindless funny movie this is it.  We went to dinner at Applebee's with friends after the movie.  It was tough for me at dinner but I tried to enjoy the company and not focus on the food as much.  I ordered off of their WW choices and I picked the mushroom chicken sandwich with fruit.  All I can say is that I probably wouldn't order that again because it was very bland and left me hungry. 

I have been struggling this weekend with a tension headache that I just can not get rid of.  I have tried to just ignore it but last night I had an anxiety attack along with the pounding of my headache.  I was able to talk myself down from the attack but gosh I feel terrible after they happen.  I felt like I could have spent the whole day in bed feeling sorry for myself today but decided that didn't help anything.  So I got up and did some exercising and then went upstairs to go through years of pictures that I have put off putting in photo albums.  That is a huge project that I at least started now, I worked for four hours on it. 

I decided to post my starting picture as well yesterday to remind myself how far I have come and how far I don't want to go back.  Also I was shocked at some of the pictures I went through today from years past.  Good gosh it was bad.  I never thought I looked great in the pictures but boy I didn't realize how bad I looked.

Hard to believe my cruise is only a little more than three months away.  I am actually getting pretty excited for it to come.  I am hoping to be around fifteen to twenty pounds less than I am right now.  That is my goal for June 14th, to be 185-190lbs. and wearing XL in regular women's clothes rather than plus sizes.

don't go back!

Hey girl - oh gosh we are totally in the same mindset right now - eating out and not wanting to be left bland and hungry, not wanting to gain weight back, wanting to enjoy our new size for a vacation - basically -  keep it together!

We are doing it and we are worth it!  It is soooo worth it!  Thinnk about what you are getting!

You are doing great!

Keep at it! Pictures do speak a thousand words, and now that you are going thru them, you can feel all of those old emotions of being uncomfortable all over again! Look at how far you've come! You've lost over 62 pounds! That is amazing! One meal at a time, one day at a time, that's all you can do. Use your head when making choices about what goes into your mouth. And keep looking at those pictures. You are looking more fantastic everyday! The cruise is fast approaching! You can do this! Be srtrong!

that menu is hit and miss

I have tried a bunch of them and liked the tilapia and the shrimp skewers but the rest are pretty bland. 

Glad to see you back in the saddle!
