Okay, I've not blogged for awhile, don't know why! Anywho! I'm catching up right now.
I've lost more weight, thank the good Lord, and lost lot's more inches! Got a wonderful Tony Little Gazelle Freestyle, that helped to take some inches off me, and helped break my plateau. So things are going pretty good right now. IOh! And I went to the store to get some jean capri's for the trip to the zoo, and I was able to wear a smaller size! Into a 12/14! You have no idea how many years it's been since I was in that size! And it's all due to the gazelle, believe me! I lost 9 inches on that thing, in just 2 weeks workouts! So needless to say, that's my new best friend!
Getting ready to have the grandson for a week, for his spring break, so hubby and I have lots of things planned for him. Which will definitely be a good workout for the both of us! He's a very active 5-year-old, and sometimes hard for me to keep up with, but I love it. He's a challenge, every day. So, I may not get to do the gazelle while he's here, but I will definitely be getting tons of exercise.
I'm so depressed today, I just want to crawl in bed, cover my head, and have a good cry. I'm not going to "jot" all that's going on in my head, it'll just be more depressing for me. Needless to say, it's all about my ex-daughter-in-law, how much I'm learning to despise her for what she's doing to all of us here who love Jude so much. Just because she knows she can, and knows it hurts us. I just pray it doesn't hurt poor little Jude. Okay, enough of this... I just need to get in a better frame of mind so I can get to exercising, instead of being trapped in this funk. I hate it.
Woohoo! I'm so stoked! I bought a new pair of pants, the size of the very old pair I'd found in the closet, as they had paint stains on them... and would you believe they were too big?! OMG! I told my hubby, I'm taking these back and getting a smaller pair. He didn't understand why I didn't just keep them. I told him he just didn't understand!!! They were too big! You don't buy brand new pants that are too big, when you won't wear them very long... I still have a long way to go, so why keep pants you won't wear very long at all? So I took them back, and OMG! I'm no longer in Plus sizes! Now, for all you "used to be" Plus size ladies, you know what I'm talking about! major, major accomplishment! So, now you know why I'm so stoked! It's all downhill from here, baby!
I forgot some major "happy" news! After Christmas, I got this cleaning spurt, for some insane reason, and cleaned out every closet in the house! In doing so, I uncovered clothes I'd been saving -- just in case we should ever be so lucky as to actually lose weight! I found several pair of jeans my husband could wear, with even more he could fit into on down the line, and I found one pair of jeans I'd worn years ago... don't know why I kept them, they had some paint stains on them... but I washed them and hung them in my closet. Then next day, when I went to get clothes for after my shower, I accidently pulled out those jeans. I looked at them and thought, "no way those will fit, but think I'll just give them a try and see how far I can pull them up." And would you believe they fit? OMG!!!! Major excitement going on here! I had just been at the store looking at new jeans, but hated to buy any, not knowing how long I'd have to wear them (hopefully not long!) and didn't want to waste the money. But now I have a pair I can wear around here, at least. You all know how exciting it is to get into a smaller size -- and these were 3 sizes smaller than ones I was wearing just 5 months ago! OMG!!!! Okay, enough here...have a good one!
Whew! So glad those holidays are behind us.... and I'm still on track! I'm now down a whole 50 lbs.! And overall, I've lost a total of 20-1/2 inches! Gee, if I wasn't so fat to start, I could be looking "hot" by now... lol.... oh well... maybe 7 or 8 months from now... I'm going to be looking so good, no one will know who I am!
Wow, it's been a whole month before I have anything to report! I guess with Thanksgiving, I should consider myself lucky I stayed the same, but geez, I didn't ruin my "lifestyle" by eating a little dressing. However, I started this week adding the Green Tea pill - just 2 days now... I have no idea if the pill did anything, but I'm glad to report a loss of 5 lbs. I just measured, too, and I've lost an overall 8 mores inches!!! Now THAT I'll definitely celebrate! That's 3 inches in my waist, and 2 inches in my hips, and the rest in various other places.... whoohoo!!! I'm doing the happy dance! We had a wonderful time with the grandson this weekend. Then I did the crazy thing, and told him I'd take him Christmas "looking." He's definitely a spoilt brat - thinks he should have one of everything he wants for Christmas. He'll be happy with what he gets, but the thing that kills me is afterwards, he looks for more presents to open. Doesn't matter what's in the presents, he just wants to open more. We've got our work cut out for us with that boy! And taking him shopping - he's so grabby - hands every where. Okay, now I know where that 5 lbs. went!
OMG! I can't believe this.... I was reading the scale wrong! My hubby and I were talking about it yesterday, how hard it is to tell what you really weigh on that stupid scale, so I went back and checked today. What I thought was the 35 mark was actually 30! So that means I'm down a lot more than I thought I was! Woohoo!!!!
I feel so dumb.... but what a nice surprise this morning!
Yeah me! I weighed this morning and had lost another 2 lbs.! After just weighing yesterday, I didn't think I'd see a change, but what a nice surprise! Getting off track and back on again, always breaks a plateau for me!
This last 2 or 3 weeks has been pure hell! I haven't been able to stay on the right foods all the time, but I did manage to lose a pound or two, and although lost no lbs. this past week, I did find I'd lost a couple of inches in places. So that means a lot! Update on grandson, he's out of the hospital. I went to stay with him on Tuesday, was supposed to spend whole day and two nights, and went in, and mommy said they were releasing him today. Hoorah! So, since we had a whole day with him, and he couldn't go play in the park, we took him to the next best thing, ToysRUS! He may have overdone it a little. You know how 5-year-olds get when confronted with a toy store! Then out to eat something he loves, chicken nuggets, and then to a 'big movie,' as he calls them. He had a great time, and didn't want to go home, wanted to go to MiMi and Papa's house, but mommy made him go home with her. After he recuperates a little more, he'll be back at MiMi and Papa's house to play. All in all, so glad that horrible time is over and maybe we can all get back to normal again.
Don't know how I missed this... but I've not posted my new weight! So now I'll take the time.... it's been such a tremendous 2 weeks. No, I mean horrendous! Mother-in-law was in the hospital, and had to stay with her some, she was a horrible patient. And now, she's out, and my grandson in. He had surgery yesterday, and is on heavy meds today, so I'm taking the time to get some much needed rest at home, while hopefully he sleeps and doesn't know I'm gone. First person he asked for in recovery was for MiMi -- that's ME! Not his Mommy! He knows who loves him the most, lol.
So, I may not get to do the gazelle while he's here, but I will definitely be getting tons of exercise.
