Told my hubby I wanted something bad for me and he says no!  Usually he'll say yes cuz he wants some, too.  Oh well.  I can't justify going just for myself.  I think I earned it, tho cuz I mowed the backyard tonight.  That's hard work!  But I'll be good and just go to bed. 

God Bless!

Not quite sure how I did it, was weighing in this morning to see if I gained and I'm now down over 10 pounds!!  I'm  very happy about that.  The last month I've had one week of no change, the next week is a loss, rince and repeat! 
Went to the gym once.  Had some ice cream.  But still no soda!  That's gotta be a big part of it right there.  Trying to keep up with my water.  Well, I''m not gonna drive myself crazy with wondering how, I'll just go with it!  LOL 

God Bless!

Well I'm only down .7 but I'll take it!  That's with absolutly no exercise!  Ok, my bad.  I keep thinking, imagine what I could lose if I really commited to exercising?!  My exercise partner is on vacation and I haven't had to walk my girls to school.  So that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!  LOL  I think my 10 pound goal is taunting me.  I'm SO CLOSE but still not here. 

Still no soda, almost 6 weeks for that now!  My cravings for that aren't bad but once in awhile I'll want one.  Will that ever go away?  No fast food (except a parfait and fruit and walnut salad at Mc Donalds) 

God Bless!

I have two pairs of size 12's that a month ago were VERY tight and uncomfortable.  Mostly unwearable for the last week or so before I started dieting.  Now today I put one pair on thta had just been washed and it fits just fine!!  It's amazing what 8 pounds can do. 

I'm trying not to get too excited until I've lost 10 pounds because I've always failed in the past but it's getting hard not to be happy about it!!  This time feels different.  Before I would have something bad and my diet would be over, I would just give up.  This time I've had a couple bad things and gone right back to the diet.  I haven't gone overboard, just in moderation.  It's nice to know these "bad" things are allowed as long as I don't go crazy!! 

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Down another 1.9 lbs.  I'm just 1.2 lbs away from my first goal of 10 pounds.  I'll take that!  I'll be thrilled when I'm below 170. 

God Bless!

Had an off day yesterday...kind of anyway.  Started out normal with my shake but then one of my friends hurt her back so I had to take her to the ER.  She was so sweet, she took me out for lunch afterwards.  I was pretty good, had a chicken salad and a chocolate milk (teehee)  then all us girls rallyed at our hurt friends house cooking her dinner and trying to take care of her.  The girl cooking is such an awesome cook I tried my best not to go too overboard!  Back to normal today.  It feels good to know I can have a day like that and still get back on track the next day.  The real world isn't so scary! 

Walked my girls to school and back again as usual today.  Will have to use my pedometer to see how many steps that is.   Well that's my update!

God Bless!

A couple hours after my weigh in I got a visit from aunt flo!!  So next week should be a good weigh in after she's gone!! 

I did have an awesome time out with the girls tonight.  I'm 32 years old and it took this long for me to find the best friends in the world!  Only problem is we're all military wives and eventually we'll all be living in different states!  Having fun while we can!

God Bless!

I'm down 1.1 lbs.  Was hoping for a bit more but it's still good and in the right direction so I'll take it!  I've only been to the gym once this week but I've been walking a lot and mowed the lawn so I am active.  3 weeks with no soda!  My body must be in shock!  LOL 

Going out with the girls tonight to a fondu restaurant.  No kids and no husbands!  hehehe 

Have a good weekend!

Going to the gym tomorrow morning.  Haven't been much but more than none!  I need to do some extra this week because I'm going to a fondu (sp?) restaurant on Saturday with some friends.  Girls night out, can't say no to that!! 

We had breakfast the other day at The Pancake House and I got a bowl of fruit instead of the yummy stuff they were eating!!  Was pretty good, tho.  Then said no to cinnamon pretzles while we were at the mall.  I'm pretty proud of myself!  I hope it shows in the scale! 

I'm starting two 12 week challenges tomorrow.  One at this site and one thru the people we get our Herbalife from.  It's for anyone, not just herbalife ppl.  I'm guessing we won't be able to weigh in naked....DOH!  So I'll get to see that lovely number higher.  Oh well, I guess as long as it goes down it's ok.

I've also been more hungry the last few days (could be in my head) but I went for an extra snack bar or fruit.  Oh, I also put a twin bed together for my dd so there's my weight training!  LOL  Well, that's my update!

Have a great week!

I'm down 1.8 pounds!  Not too bad for only one day at the gym!  Still going strong!  Two weeks with no soda and no fast food.  Went to the mall with some friends the other day and turned down yummy snacks for a water.  We went out for breakfast that morning and I just ordered a bowl of fruit.  Was really good, actually! 

I better go finish getting my dd ready for school before she's late! 

God Bless!
