Well I remember at one point I had said that my best friend told me that when I was doing real well at this weight loss that I would get pregnant..... Well, she was right! DH and I just found out that we are expecting a baby! So while i may not be on here much (because I will be maintaining rather than losing) I just thought I would let you all know why!
I'm so pleased and happy with my weight loss lately. Even with SERIOUS amounts of stress I have been able to keep most of my weight loss under control. 2 Pounds lost this week! 34 total and only 78 more to go! Which now sounds TOTALLY attainable! I can certainly do this! If I can keep a 2 lb loss per week I can do it in less than a year... and to get this done in one year all I need is 1.5 lbs lost per week. That would put me in Disneyworld Spring of 2009!!!!!!!! Not that far away at all.
I've had some seriously hard weeks since we have found out DH has a hernia. Now I know that most people say it's not serious and I"m over reacting but he can BARELY walk. He is a constant amount of pain and has been out of work for 1 1/2 with no end in sight. That's right, we still don't even have a consultation date let alone a surgery date. All thanks to the lovely thing called worker's comp. It's awful. Not only that but I'm stressing for the money situation because he has to go all this time off with Leave without Pay... making me the sole money maker for the next approx month. BUT we have done it before on his check (and he was making less than I am now) so we can DEFINITELY make it! We just have to be careful. It's hard with Christmas around the corner, but we can make it. I'm praying this goes through as smoothly and easily as possible and I CERTAINLY wouldn't mind if anyone else prayed for us either. Even once helps :D
Anywho, now that I"m done complaining. I have to say that life has not been that bad, and if I wasn't watching my DH suffer constant pain I would be in a much better mood. Things are going really well with the dogs they are doing real well in training and I was even able to take them to my employee appreciation picnic yesterday and they behaved VERY well... I was even able to leave them with other people and they behaved. (I was not about to take 2 labs in the portapotty with me LOL.
Oh and the good news now... I just got a phone call and my DH has an appt for his consultation on Monday at 10:45! I'm so glad to hear that! I guess I will be taking Monday off then! Good to get the ball rolling again. Hopefully it will not stop this time!
I'll be going now. Everyone have a wonderful weekend!
God Bless!

Out of a size 20 pants that is! When I started this new weight loss I was a size 26 and now I am a size 18! When I tried those 18's on and they fit just right i nearly cried I was so excited! I can't believe that i did it! I never thought I would fit into 18's ever again. I told my friend I just wanted to try them and and I wasn't going to buy them, but when they fit I couldn't help it. I HAD to buy them! It's an exciting feeling!
Just had to share 
Well hubby and I missed the first day of dog school... BOO. The trainer called and asked why and I told him about our work schedules and he told us he would work with us a half hour before each class to catch us up and then give us the next class in spring (a repeat basically) for FREE. I was ASTOUNDED. So for anyone in the Reno area who is looking for dog training you should TOTALLY call Barry at On Command Dog Training. He is SO AWESOME to be working with! Not to mention his past experience is AMAZING! (25 yrs training... five of that training police dogs!)
Anyway, work has been interesting to say the least. Not exactly easy but now that they have pretty much got all the kinks out (pretty much... not all the way but I expect that won't happen, not with the management we have LOL) it's pretty smooth sailing. It's pretty easy for me to go down to the workforce, grab my work, ask any questions and then take it back to my office... repeat. Can't get any easier than that... wish I could do this everyday. (alas... it's only a 2 week job)
The cool thing is I'm seeing TONS of people I don't normally see and everyone of them has commented on how much I've lost. Makes me grin from ear to ear to hear such NICE comments! I feel so good about it!
I hope everyone is doing well and I hope I will be able to catch up with everyone soon!
God Bless!
Weighing in this morning I didn't expect anything good to happen. It has been a ROUGH week this past week and the next two weeks are going to be the same way.... Imagine my surprise when I saw that I lost 4 lbs this week! What on earth is going on? It's a miracle that this has even gone this for. Bringing my total to 31 lbs lost!
Yesterday I sat with a friend at a meeting, she and I hadn't seen eachother in probably 2-3 months. She looked at me and said "Have you been puking everything?" (BTW this friend is VERY crude at times, but there when you need her LOL) I said "HuH?" "Well that's the only way I know for someone to get that small that quick!" I laughed and told her, "No puking, but I have been working my rear end off... good to see it shows!"
So it IS paying off.
Sorry I haven't been around lately. Work is really tearing us up... Next week will be starting 2 weeks of hell. Hopefully I'll be back after that, and HOPEFULLY no one will want to work Saturdays so I can take my dogs to dog school. Tomorrow is the first day!
Have a great day and God Bless!
So yesterday was the dr appt. I mistook the whole 27 lbs thing... since i saw him I lost 13 lbs... which for me is GOOD. He said he was VERY impressed and that he would be happy with 1-2 lbs a week. Oh, and his scale said I was at 236 when mine says 235 so just 1 lb off... that's alright.. as long as I know. I also talked to him about my excessive water drinking (160-190 oz a day!) and he is having lab tests done to see if I'm diabetic. We did those tests already in June... but I've been drinking that much water since August... I don't know if something creeps up like that, that quickly but we'll find out. I also have an xray to schedule since my foot hurts so badly. It's been like this on and off for 3 years now and getting a little old. Kinda hard to excercise when afterwards you feel like you have to sit with foot propped up and ice on it for 2 hours.
On other news, I'm trying to work out with DH about taking the dogs to school. They are in sore need of obedience classes and I want to be able to walk with them and ENJOY it. Instead of worrying about how far they will pull me. In a way that's a good thing, forces me to walk a little quicker, but then I hate it because by the time I'm done my arms are sore. So school would be good for them. I don't like the feeling of my arms being pulled out of their sockets! They are good dogs though, six month old labs who really just want to please us. I just don't know how to train them to get that way. I know they need walking daily (as do I) I just dread it because they won't behave. So hopefully this will help BIG TIME!
Otherwise it's been an easy going weekend for me. Just like I like it. DH ran into Susanville to pick up medicine (a hand cream for a sore on my hand that won't go away and my appetite suppressant.) I've been working on laundry, slowly getting to done while playing my new favorite video game. (don't worry I don't play all the time.. I'm liking it for now, but I'll be bored with it soon.)
We've been talking about a new church and we'll go either tomorrow or next week. Not sure just yet, but I'm excited for the prospect of somewhere new, and perhaps this one will have people I can identify with!
I hope everyone's weekend is going great!
God Bless!
So I did good... too good actually. So good I'm scared my dr is going to tell me to SLOW DOWN! Which sucks... because I don't know how I'm going to exactly do that... if he says that I'll need him to make suggestions... but let's put it this way... since my last Dr appt I've lost 27 lbs.... crazy.
So yep that puts me down another FIVE this week. I can't believe it. Just so odd to me. I've tried many times before to lose weight and lost maybe 10 or 15 lbs and gave up. It was too hard or I "didn't have the time" but now I"m SERIOUSLY doing it. And I'm doing well at it. England will be here in no time!
I talked to my best friend about this last night and she told me "Watch, you'll get to your goal weight and then you'll get pregnant"
Fine with me... but DH better take me to England after a year and a half of maintaining after the baby is born! I'm going darn it! (Baby will have to stay with Granny and Papa LOL)
Anyway I'll be going to the Dr soon... and we will see how close the scales are. Regardless I DO know that I lost 5 lbs this week... which is AWESOME!
Have a great Friday everyone!
God Bless!
On my journal that is. My eating this week has been really good and after a quick peek at the scale today I am SURE I will have a loss to report tomorrow! I will also be seeing how different my scale is from the drs.. However last time I check they were the same, so that's good.
I took time off from work today. I can't handle all the stress. The job itself is EASY, I'm starting to think this is a bad thing because of all the back biting and rudeness that goes on. I don't do well in "hostile" environments, never have and I think I never will. After whining and crying to DH about it he mentioned that I am sensitive... I see and hear and sense things about people that most do not. He's probably right about that, I would make a terrible spy.
As I said... last week I didn't do well enough to drop but I didn't do bad enough to gain either. This week I only had 2 really bad days (curse those work potlucks) and I really think that's going to help me out. I can't believe how much I've lost so far... I think my scale must me malfunctioning 
Well I need to go check on everyone else! Have a wonderful day and God Bless!
Finally checked today my weight today. No gain, but no loss either. I'll take that over a gain. And if I had to be honest with myself it's my fault really. BUT today is a new day and this is a new week and I will succeed! Just gotta work a little harder this week without so many days of extras!
Gotta be careful because I have to make cookies for the people DH works with, they are having a potluck Monday... My team is having a potluck on Tuesday (I am supplying the salad and dressings!) and after remember that I am NOT bringing in a birthday cake for someone... she will have to wait til next week. Two temptations are more than enough thank you!
I WILL lose this week. Whether it's a lb or more... I WILL lose!
Well after the anticipation of having my friend come over to help me deep clean my kitchen I forgot to weigh in. LOL oops. I figure I will do it tomorrow.
However today went very well, we worked on one corner of the kitchen and got it ALL done. It looks REAL good over there and I will be glad when we work on the other 2 sides. We broke it down into bitable sections... Though I am ashamed to say it probably took us about 6 hours to do... but a lot of that was tearing apart, deciding what we needed, washing what we wanted to keep and then putting it back together. Whew... what a day. But a good one.
The friend that came over is also working losing weight, and is on the South Beach Diet with me. We did very well today for lunch and snacks. And we will be meeting each other in town tomorrow at the Pita Pit for lunch. (After that she will do what she needs to and I will do what I need to, but it's nice to meet up for lunch) I am SO incredibly grateful that God has blessed me with a good friend like her (and to think when I met her I couldn't stand her LOL)
I hope everyone is having a great time and has a WONDERFUL weekend!
God Bless
