Before After

66th Day and Drama, Drama, Drama ! !

 Overall I am happy with my recent progress.  I am happy with the way I look and exciting about looking and feeling so much better.  I enjoyed the wedding and the job is great!  Actually life is GREAT, WONDERFUL, EXCITING and AWESOME.  I am lovin' it.  Today,  I was tired.  My sleep patterns have been so messed up lately due to the current stress that comes with having an ex who refuses to leave you alone.  I have had to change my cellphone and I will be taking even more drastic steps if need be.  I will not continue on with my life like this.  This is my life and I will live it!  I hope everyone is doing great, and losing lots and lots of weight!    Well, I had better go.  The eyelids are getting pretty heavy and I have too go for a briefing on tomorrow.  God Bless you All and Remember YOU are who you ARE, but you can strive to BE whomever YOU want to be....and what is better than being the THE BEST YOU THAT YOU CAN BE?  Nothing!  Listed below is my Food Log:

65th Day ! SO EXICITED, I AM ON MY WAY!

Hello Friends!  Today is a beautiful day and I thank God for being able to see yet another.  I have been having the hardest time sleeping, so I took a tylenol pain and sleep pill and I finally, finally got some sleep!  Thank God.  I thought if I didn't get sleep soon, there would have eventually been a CRASH!  Anyway, yesterday was the wedding and what a beautiful one it was........OMG, I am quite biased, but it was one of the most beautiful weddings I have seen in a long time.  Sooooo, how's everybody doing?  Let me know how you all are..I will be back later on to check on you all....

My Baby Got Married & New PIC !!!!

Hello Everyone!  First and Foremost my nephew's wedding was absolutely beautiful to say the least.  My baby is now a grown man and married.  I love my nephew so much, he is the epitomy of a perfect gentleman.  My sister and his father did an awesome job and I am so pleased with them both!  Despite the trials, tribulations and up and downs my nephew turned out WONDERFUL and I can only hope and pray that my 2 sons will follow his footsteps!

Well, did you all see the pic?  I look good huh?  I felt good and so many people were calling me skinny....It felt so awesome.  They had great food too, I have to let you know I had no cake and ate everything else in total and complete moderation.  I am so proud of me!  Well, I just wanted to touch bases with every one and let you all know that I am still alive and well and things are great!

Here is my "Wedding Day" Food Log-

Breakfast- coffee w/creamer 55 cal/ 1.5

1 slice of turkey bacon 35 cal/ 1.5

Sorry about the pic being so blurry, that is the best we could do.  Tomorrow I am picking up more from the store and should I find one that turns out clearer, I will post another!  God Bless You All....

63rd Day ! ONEDERLAND ! Finally There....... Actually This is Friday, Aug 3

Today was an awesome day, I am out of training and assisting our many beneficiaries.  It was exciting and the day went by quickly.  I am so excited about tomorrow, my nephew is getting married! 

My little baby, I mean my big BABY....Guess he isn't a baby anymore if he is getting married, you think?  Well, I must inform you all of good news...........I am in Onederland, I currently weigh 199.  Oh my goodness!!!!  I am on cloud nine......I feel great and now the race is on.  When I got on that scale, I was like?  It is finally here, now my decision is at hand, I need to decide if I am going to wear the baby blue and white polka dot dress with white shoes and white acessories or am I am going to wear the white flowey skirt, with the black and white off the shoulder blouse?  They both are nice outfits, my daughter picked the baby blue one of course, she knows that Old Skool is what I like, she mentioned that the outfit reminder her of Marilyn Monroe.......We'll see what happens!  I am just so darn excited........Oh and guess what friends?  My capri's that I wore for the past 2 summers are finally to big, I mean so big now that they require a belt, but there are no belt loops.  So, I guess I can give these to my sister!  

 I promise, I will take pictures tomorrow at the wedding.  I promise.  My daughter and I are going and I know I owe a pic,, and I know she will take it!  Unless of course, if I take one of her.  So, stay tuned for an exciting day!  I am unsure if I am going to stay at the reception, the wedding is at 3 pm and I am not one for driving home in the dark, so I will probably leave after the reception.............  Either way, there will be pics!  Listed below is my food log!

59 th Day.......................TINGS ARE GREAT ! NOW.

I am doing great today, this weekend for me was pretty rough!  I had so many personal things going on, it honestly was just too much!  I thought I wasn't going to make it.  Even through it all, I didn't reach for my infamous sweets!  I am a emotional eater and instead of letting my stress get to me, I decided to continue to eat healthy.  I did not waiver, Thank God!  I had to go down to the court house today and take care of some much needed business and I got that accomplished.  I went to work, but left earlier due to personal reasons.  Tomorrow I will be ready to continue with my training.  I will WI on probably this Wednesday.  I know there is some weight loss because my pants today are so much looser.  I feel lighter too!  Well, here is the wonderful Food Log:

Breakfast- coffee w/half & nonfat milk 45 cal/1.5 grams fat

"I feel so AWESOME with just 32 lbs.  !  I know it is going to be a HEAVENLY feeling once I lose another 32 lbs."

58th Day! I will SUCCEED !

Hello Everybody,

I hope things are well with all of you.  I am great, just trying to get some much needed rest.  I tell you.....Life is a story.  Well anyway, I did pretty good today.  Have had a bit of a nervous stomach today and yesterday

57th Day................1/2 Pound TOM

I have to give myself hands up for staying on a road of skinny recovery for such a long time!  Pretty soon it will be a consecutive 3 months, that farther confirms to me that this is no diet.....However, it is a lifestyle change!  I am so excited to be doing this and learning good things everyday.  Yes, we had a younglady who had been in the office for a while leave and go to another job.  They had breakfast burritos (oh my God, I so love mexican food!), they had muffins....blue berry and chocolate!  They had danishes!  But you know what?  I didn't eat any of that stuff, instead I had coffee and a rice cake.  It felt so good, not to give in to the "so called good food".  I know that when I get to my goal, I will not eat just to eat and I will if I choose to eat in moderation.  But this time, I chose to pass.  This morning was rough for me, I didn't want to get out of the bed.....(thanks to my ex- boyfriend who felt the not so smart need to harrass me half the night with phone calls!  But finally I fell asleep and got off to a pretty good start of cleaning, washing and other things.....Now, for my last week weigh in.....I lost another 3 lbs......... and 4 inches for the week! Obviously it is TOM, but I can tell you this..........After this, I will DEFINITELY be in ONEDERLAND and the great thing is this........My nephews wedding is next weekend!  I am doing well and I am loving life and I hope all of my buds are focused and losing weight!

55th Day! Pizzza Day!!!!

Okay.....Amazing I had pizza.  My daughter decided to have pizza and wanted me and her to share, considering I have been soooooooooo good, I decided to have Philly Steak Pizza, it was DELICIOUS! The teenage son is giving me He-- and I am so tired of it.  Just seems no matter what I do, it is not good enough.  I just wish I could get some appreciation here.  The back talking is ridiculous and then when I haul off and knock him in his face, then I become the bad guy.  I am tired, yet I keep on keeping on....If teenage kids only knew the stress that their SINGLE parents have to go through.  I think, they'd think twice about the HE-- they put us through.  Other, than that  I had  a great day at work.....Now let me log in my Food intake:
