31 inches gone
Today is my 2 month anniversary of Nutrisystem. I have lost 29 pounds and 31.75 inches. In 2 months!!! It's amazing what happens when you finally get motivated. I still have 60 pounds to go. My goal is to be at goal weight by June 1st. I hope I can do it. That's an average of 12 pounds a month. Surely I can do that. Who knows... I might even lower my goal weight as I get closer. I know I can do it, if I just stay motivated. So far so good! I am psyched. Now... if we could just get the holidays over with so we can quit being surrounded by cake!! Come on January!!!!

1 pound to 30!!!!
Hot dog... I really, seriously only have 1 pound to go to have lost 30 pounds... it 2 months. That is so exciting. I haven't lost 30 pounds EVER in my life. At least not all at one time... My official weigh in isn't until Thursday, so hopefully I'll be there by then. My mini goal was 30 pounds by Christmas, so even if there is some water gain, surely I'll be there by Sunday!!! I am just thrilled. I finally made up my mind and I am doing it. I'll be skinny by summer!!! Beach... here I come!!!

Temptations
This time of the year is so difficult... Surrounded by cakes, pies and all sorts of delicious sweets. Friday night we had a fish fry at our church, fried fish, french fries, potato salad, coleslaw. Nothing that I could eat. I took my NS beef stew and ate it in the kitchen before the fish fry and tried to stay busy while every one else was eating. I did have a couple of pieces of fish (small) and 2 hushpuppies. I stayed away from all the mayonaise laden potato salads and the desserts (except for one small butter cookie!).
Then Saturday, we had a friend in from California so my mom goes all out with chicken fried venison steaks, mashed potatoes, coconut cream pie, brownies, pumpkin pie. Ugghh. I manged to do OK there. Took my NS meal, added her green beans and just had a couple of small pieces of meat. No pie....
Sunday... we take my 5 year old daughter to a Christmas tea where we are surrounded by cupcakes, little pumpkin things, cookies, brownies. I just couldn't resist. had 3 little pumpkin mini somethings and 2 brownie bites. I resisted the frosting on the gingerbread cookies (frosting is a serious weakness of mine) but I still felt guilty. On top of that, we get home and they all want to go out to dinner for Mexican food. I did OK, had the baked fish and scraped all the cheesy sauce off of it. I didn't gain anything so I guess I shouldn't complain, but man, was it a tough weekend. Too many temptations!!!!

Back on Track
Well, I am officially back on track from the post thankgiving trauma!!! Down 3.6 so I am 1.8 down from my pre-Thanksgiving weight. That makes a total of 25.4 pounds. YEAH. I am happy with that. I got my 3rd autoship of my NS foods today and it had my 10 and 20 pounds bears in it. Very motivating!
I bought the new Biggest Loser workout DVD and my workout buddy at work and I did it today. It was tough, but good. I like it. It's definitely a keeper. If I can just keep this up through Christmas. My goal is 30 pounds by Christmas. Let's see if I can make it!!!

Darn Thanksgiving
Well.. I promised myself I would eat whatever I wanted on Thanksgiving.. That plus a wedding the same week. I gained 1.8 pounds! Shoot. I know I shouldn't stress over it, and I have already lost it and some more, but it still made me angry with myself. This is a bad time of year. I have managed to avoid all the temptations of candy, pumpkin bread, christmas cookies and the other stuff that seems to never end. What I'd love to have is some mashed potatoes and gravy. Oh well... food doesn't taste as good as thin feels. Just have to keep reminding myself of that. And remember that I could really be 30 pounds or more down by New Years!!! I can do it!!!

Portion control trauma
Don't you hate that we have gone to restaurants so much and have been served such big portions that we don't even know how to eat anymore??? NS is so easy because they portion it for us. I still have trouble in restaurants. I just have this voice in my head that says "you have to clean your plate". I hope in time that voice goes away. I REALLY try to eat things that are healthy. I just can't seem to eat smart portions! Buffets are my worst nightmare. We went to a seafood buffet last night. I only ated baked fish and green beans and salad, but I had like 4 pieces of baked fish. Obviously, no portion control there! UGHHH!

Little Fat Voice in My Head
I came home for lunch today and I am down to the stuff in the drawer that I don't really want... Nutrisystem has some great food, but I am not a big soup eater. It was that, or wait to heat the boiling water and I was in a hurry. So.. I had some leftover cabbage from last night with ICBNB and some Beef Vegetable Soup. It wasn't bad, just not the cheeseburger with fries that my fat self would rather be having!!!
I won't succumb to the fat voice in my head. I will go back to work, wait for that yummy apple I'll eat around 3:00 and dream about what to have for dinner!

20 Pounds Gone!
Well.... 20.8 pounds have finally left my body forever. I never want to say "lost" because I certainly don't intend to "find" them ever again. I was a little bummed today because I only lost one pound this week, but hey... it's 20 pounds in 4 weeks!!! I am very happy about that. I just need to buckle down and stay focused. I am adding exercise now at least a couple of times a week. That can only help!
