I'm back...

Wow, I haven't wrote in a while. I'm finally finished this semester of school..lemme tell you it was a killer. I am now recovering from having all four of my wisdom teeth pulled. I had it done on Friday and today I am fine, I just look like a squirell full of nuts in his mouth. Theres exactly one week before christmas and there is still so much to do. My weight loss has been consistent and I'm almost reaching the 140's! I really cannot remember the 40's, it's probably been 8 or 9 years. As for my boyfriend, he is doing amazing. He is almost at his 50 pound mark and is almost at goal! I am so proud of him. Without him it would have been so much harder to get to where I am now. Hoping everyone is having a great on plan Monday, and happy holidays to all!

150's!

Haven't blogged in a while. I'm officially in the 150's and I've reached the 40 lb mark! Yay for me! It's been really hard to loose some good weight these past few months. It's probably because of the horrible stress I've been under, I've been really busy with school work and such.Also, congratulations to my boyfriend who also reached his 40 lb mark last week! Yay for you baby! He's almost at goal! Hope everyone is having sucsessfull weight losses. Happy Thanksgiving to you Americans out there! Be good and smart with your food choices! Have a good one!  

Happy camper again...

This week was amazing! I lost 4 lbs. How? I have no idea. It was my birthday last friday and I enjoyed a big fat piece of cake. Went to East Side Marios and ate all my favourite foods and im sure I went over my weekly points allowance. I didn't know if i was sabotaging myself because of the plateau I was at for a couple of weeks. I'm finally back to loosing some big numbers. For once I thought I lost more in one week than my boyfriend, but low and behold he lost 4.2 lbs this week. Congratulations! I call him Tiny Tim now; he's so slim! I've started a x-mas challenge of loosing 12.8 in 9 weeks. I've got 8 lbs left to loose in 8 weeks...it's doable! Hoping everyone has a great week!

Dissapointed

I've been trying very hard this week. Well not as hard as I could have but I actually made an effort. I am really sick of seing the same numbers on the scale every week...it goes up and down like a viscious cycle. I lost .8 this week. I was expecting at least 1-2 pounds. The one good thing about this week is that I have reached my birthday goal of 7 pounds in 7 weeks. My birthday is on Friday and my boyfriend will be taking me out to celebrate. Next week I have another birthday party to attend to (boyfriends friend) at bostons pizza. And the following week yet another birthday party (boyfriends mother) at a banquet hall. So as you all can read the next couple of weeks involve food--and lots of it. I'm so over-whelmed and it's really hard to keep on track. On the happier side of things I want to congratulate my boyfriend on an amazing 5.2 lb loss this week!! That's a total of 30 pounds for him in 11 weeks! YAY FOR HIM! Here's hoping that I have a good on plan week. Thanks for reading! 

Motivating poem...

I thought that this was a very motivating poem. When I start thinking about the 30 pounds I have left to loose I sometimes get very discouraged. I try to change my mindset and think about loosing 1 pound 30 times. I've posted this in my bedroom on my weight loss bulletin board.
Only One Pound!

Hello, do you know me?
If you don't, you should.
I'm a pound of fat,
And I'm the HAPPIEST
pound of fat that you
would ever want to meet.
Want to know why?
It's because no one ever
wants to lose me:
I'm ONLY ONE POUND,
just a pound!
Everyone wants to loose
three pounds, five
pounds, or fifteen
pounds, but never
only one.
So I just stick around
and happily keep you fat.
Then I add to myself, ever
so slyly, so that you
never seem to notice it.
That is, until I've grown to
ten, twenty, thirty or
even more pounds in weight.
Yes, its fun being ONLY
ONE POUND OF FAT, left to
do as I please.
So, when you weigh in
keep right on saying,
"Oh, I only lost one
pound." (As if that
were such a terrible thing.)
For you see, if you do
this, you'll encourage
others to keep me around
because they'll think I'm
not worth losing.
And, I love being around you -
your arms, your legs,
your chin, your hips and
every part of you.
Happy Days!!
After all, I'm
ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT!!!

Notice to all Canadians on ww...!!!

So I was doing my grocery shopping at Sobeys today and guess what I found? Weight Watchers food!!! They have 3 different types of tv dinners ranging from 3-4 pts and they have the yummmy double fudge chocolate cake 4pts. You have got to try that cake. Although it says to put the cake in the microwave 10 sec I put it in for 20 sec and it was so soft and moist. Anyway you will find all this food in the freezer section at Sobeys at $2.99 each and the cake comes in a 2 pack! The scale was nice this week...I managed to loose .6 even though I had 3 turkey dinners and didn't track at all. Have a good week all!

Not the best week...

This week wasn't the greatest. I did gain .8 this week. I'm not very dissapointed though because of the fact that I was expecting a gain. Oh well, it happens to everyone. Now I'm just worried because I have 3 turkey dinners coming up this weekend. Two at my boyfriends families' house and one at my home! Oh no...am I setting myself up for a dissapointment again next week? I will be very strict with myself this weekend. It shouldn't be too bad since I have a fever and sore throat...I tend not to eat very much when I'm sick lol.  Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

New picture alert...

Added a new picture from this Saturday at my cousins wedding. More than halfway at goal...yay! There was a lot of food to eat but I resisted my temptations at the dessert table....ok no I didn't I did eat the oreo cheesecake..and I enjoyed it too!!

Ya whooo!!!

This week was great! I lost 3.4 pounds! How did I do it? I have no idea! lol I've been stressed and I havent been doing much physical activity. But I am officially in the 160's. I haven't been there probably in 5 years! It's the TOM and I didn't think I'd loose this much. I'm not complaining! I'm just nervous because I have a wedding on Saturday and the scale may not be too nice to me next week. Oh well, I'll just have to see when I get there. Hoping everyone has a great week!

Stressed...

I almost feel like I've been seeing the 170 lb mark on my scale for like a year lol. It feels like I'm stuck. I've added new exercises and haven't eaten my activity points. Yesterday I knew I was going to gain but surprisingly I lost .4 lbs. *dry tone* woo hooo. Well I'll try to make this upcoming week better than ever and loose some more. I am planning to take my second measurements this weekend so I'll see the real weight loss in inches. My boyfriend is doing so well though. He got his second 10 lb ribbon yesterday. He's lost 20 pounds in 7 weeks. Man it took me 14 weeks to loose 20 pounds. I envy him lol. *Congratulations darling!* Hoping everyone has a great week.
