189.0. Not much, just 0.4 pounds, but thats like 6 ounces and I'll take it. Hopefully that means we're moving onward and downward. Woohoo! I set my last minigoal at 185. I'd like to weigh 180 when I go home at the end of the month, but thats probably not realistic. We'll see how it goes.
Today's my anniversary and my husband gave me a gorgeous locket and earrings with angels on them. I love angels. I also lost another pound and got out of the 190s which is almost as good as gold to me! My daughter is taking us out to dinner tonight so I've been saving up my calories until then. The snow is melting and the sun is shining here in Oklahoma and its turned out to be an extra good day. One of my EP friends said to appreciate the small things and I do. Hope everyone else is having a wonderful day too!
190.6 - Well, I said 190 but this is close enough. I'm so excited to be almost out of the 190's. My new mini-goal is 185. We're having an ice storm here so I can't get out to walk, but I do have my gazelle and a new pilates ball which I LOVE. My 14s are getting loose on me, and I have 2 more pair of pants to give away cause they're too big. Yes, I know, I'm very easily entertained. Hope everybody else is having a good day too, ice or no ice. 
Just in case anyone wondered, I changed the name of my blog. The one thing I always say, which my husband laughs at me for, is "Here's the deal" - usually when I'm trying to explain my point of view or persuade him, so I decided that is probably what this blog should be called. Sorry if I caused any confusion.
192.4 today. That makes my weight loss 15 pounds. I got a digital scale a couple of weeks ago. I just love that thing. I know you're not supposed to weigh everyday, but I'm a scale junky. If I can even see it go down by 0.2 pounds I'm a happy camper! I haven't take my phen for a least a week, maybe longer, I really can't remember. It wasn't working for me anymore so I decided to take a break from it. Still losing weight though, so I may just wait until I hit a plateau to restart it.
I haven't had near as much problem with cravings since I figured out why I was eating late at night. I still eat late at night (I'm talking 9 or 10 p.m. which really IS too late) but I've arranged to have something a little more healthy and less fattening like boiled eggs or salad.... or yes, even a couple of South Beach Diet cookies. I even found some baked tostitos. They are pretty yummy - especially with picante sauce. I don't feel like I'm on a diet. Hopefully this will just become a way of life and I won't have to lose this weight again. Once is definitely enough.
I did get an ego booster tonight. Went shopping with my daughter and tried on jeans. I found a pair of size 12 low rise jeans that FIT. Didn't buy them though cause they JUST fit and if I washed them they wouldn't fit any longer. The only reason I could get into a 12 was because they were low rise. If I get regular jeans that button at my waist (which is thick) I'ld definitely have to have a 14, but it was FUN to try a 12. After I lose this weight, I'm going SHOPPING. I can't wait!!!
193.4 - I lost a whole pound today, not just ounces. I have no idea what made the difference. I did make a little discovery the other night while talking to my friend though. We were talking about my cravings for chocolate/sweets late at night. I had two revelations: 1) Thats when my hands and mind are not busy typing reports. 2) That is the time of night when I'm alone and can veg out on the couch watching TV. So total relaxation to me = time alone vegging on the couch in front of the TV "plus" CHOCOLATE. Its a trigger to me like wanting a cigarette when you have a cup of coffee or an alcoholic drink. I can't believe it took me 48 years to figure that out. My cravings are much better now that I know that. I boiled some eggs for snacking on and if that doesn't hold me there are always the South Beach Diet oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. We'll see how this theory pans out in the future.
pretty much anyway, back down to 194.8 today. I don't seem to have as much motivation to lose this weight as I had before Xmas. I have to get back into the swing. I DO want to lose weight, I swear I do. I've just temporarily lost that "come hell or high water" attitude. I think my New Year resolution will be to get my booty back down to the water aerobics class even if I have to wear a sweater in the pool! LOL I am still pulling pants out of the closet that didn't fit but do now and I don't want to lose that. That represents a lot of hard work! So note to self: Get your lazy butt back to the pool!
194.6 today. I'm just losing ounces a day, but I'll take it, especially considering its a holiday season. I did have an excessive amount of DP yesterday. Yesterday was an exceptionally bad day and I guess DP is a comfort food for me. I also tried South Beach Diet Chocolate Chip and Coconut cookies yesterday. They are YUMMY and only have 100 calories. We did start to paint my granddaughter's room but got interupted. I have tons of housework to do today, so I don't know if I'll get my walk in or not but maybe steamcleaning the carpets will do instead. Merry Christmas, everyone!
195.2 today. There must be something to that theory about taking in enough calories. I didn't even take the phen yesterday, just ate something every 2 to 3 hours. I didn't have any problem with cravings until 9 or 10 p.m., when I started wondering if there was any chocolate in the house. Luckily there wasn't. I may try taking just a 1/2 phen today.
I finally broke 196 this morning. Still not at 195 technically - it is 195.6, but I'll take it. After reading a link on desertbrats blog yesterday and going back to the last diet book I bought, I decided that I actually might not be taking in enough calories. How crazy is that?? But apparently if you do not take in enough calories your body goes into starvation mode and wont let you lose weight. I made a concentrated effort to eat more yesterday, especially adding a little starchy stuff, and lo and behold it worked. Learn something new everyday, I guess. I'm goin to try eating something every 2 to 3 hours like the diet book says and we'll see how that goes. Keep your fingers crossed!
