Someone is going to join me!

Come on play along!

YEAH!!!  I have a teammate.  LOL  A friend of mine (Tammy) read my blog and has decided to do the whole 'same outfit diet'.  She agreed that the it is so hard to decide just what to wear in the morning when you are feeling more fluffy than you would like.  So, she has decided it take that problem away and do the 'same outfit diet'.  Her first goal is 15 pounds by the end of April.  I personally think she can do this-we all know how we drop weight fast the first couple weeks.  So, I am going to try to get her to start a blog here as well.

I should add I have had two others try this and I think the longest one went was 3 days.  LOL  I have faith in Tammy though.  She'll do this.

Anyone else want to join?

SWEET 40 is here!

Oh, Sweet 40!

OH YEAH!!!  I got up this morning just thinking I would see 155.  I just had that feeling.  Well, I didn't, I saw 154.2.  So I official lost 40.8 pounds so far.

I worked my butt off yesterday and then at 8:30 last night, I decided to jump on the treadmill and try getting to 1 mile in 15 minutes.  I ran for a song and then walked for a song.  I made it in 15 min and 11 sec.  Nothing to really brag about, but something I wanted to acheive.  Dang was I exhausted.  Thats still kind of pathetic.  I think about those contestants on the Biggest Loser and how hard they work.

Goal today is to drink 80 oz of water and walk/run on treadmill 6 miles.  2 miles/3 times today.

Oh and only one more party left.  Tomorow is the party for the boys' friends.  I can so make it without eating cake.

Oh and another celebration is hubby is 169.2.  He broke 170.  YEAH HUBBY!!  He even got on his old baseball uniform last night fro high school and it looks GREAT!  He said being thin makes it more fun to get dressed in the morning.  You don't have to search for something that fits.

Clothes in my closet!

My thin clothes!

This morning I got up and looked in the mirror and thought I looked pretty good.  I mean 5'9 and 155 pounds isn't to bad.  I still need to lose some in my hip area, but besides that I am looking better than I thought I would at 155.  Then again, I am use to looking at OMG Large Marge (no offense Marge as I don't even know a Marge).

Okay, so I started trying on some of my Levis and I had a pair of 13's that went on easy, so then I went to the 11's and they went on very nicely.  And we all know that an 11 in Juniors is like an 8 or 10 in womens.  I also tried on a pair of 8 slacks and they looked GREAT!  I could not even get these over my hips 2 1/2 months ago and they are even a little loose now.  WOO WOO!

So to say the least, I was very excited.  I didn't even try the 9 Levis, as I know those are my real skinny jeans and I would really have to be in the low 140's to get those on comfortably.  So, I took off my skinny clothes and put back on my 'same outfit'.  Let me just say this outfit looks like it is falling off me.  The butt of it looks like I hangs about to my knees (okay maybe not that bad.)  I have been wearing double long underwear under it to help it not look so baggy.  People have no idea how much weight I have lost, because it is so hard to tell with this outfit on.  I am so ready for the 'NEW ME' reveal.  YEAH!!!

So close I can taste it.

Come on 40!

Okay so maybe taste isn't such a good word to use.  I am .4 (not even half a pound) away from a 40 pound weight lose.  I am really okay with hanging here for awhile since I have done so well, but just to be able to say, when people ask "I've lost 40 pounds so far."  Maybe by tomorrow or Saturday.

BTW-moms made it to the 140's.  When we started this I was 30 pounds heavier than her, and I am on her tail now.  Sounds like the weight lose has done well for her blood pressure as well (which is a good thing).

Hubby is still hanging at 170.  He was actually 170.8 this morning and can't wait to get to 169.9.  Hoping he gets there tomorrow because he is getting to be a grouch about this.  LOL

Okay, that was fun!

A fun time!

Okay, so as many of you know I have wore this same now boring outfit every day for 114 days.  Well, when I went home for Easter, mom had me play dress up.  She brought out all kinds of pants and jeans and had me trying them on.  I tried everything from an 11 to an 8 and they all fit.  WOOHOO!  Let me say though, this made it so much harder to put my outfit back on.  Then again, made me more determined.  Mom did ofter to let me wear a nice pair of boot cut long jeans around the house that day, but I said I had better not since that would be considered cheating.  So the outfit went back on. 

I've yet to start pulling clothes out of my closet to see where I'm at.  At my lowest last time I did this, I could wear a 6 in Womens and a 9 in Juniors, so that is what my closet is full of.  I have a few fluffy clothes and a whole closet of thin clothes, no in between.  I'm thinking another 10 pounds and I will be having a fitting room day outside my closet for fun.

Come on sweet 40!

40 lbs 'almost' gone.

Well the title says it all.  I am .8 pounds away from a 40 lb weight lose.  40 pounds.  WOW!!  I can't wait to see my pounds to go being in the teens and can't even imagine single digits. I am so doing the happy dance today.  Makes it all worth skipping all the Easter candy.

BTW-I made treat bags last night for the twins' school party and party on Saturday.  Normally it would have been one for them, two for me (okay, maybe not that bad).  The boys have pick Tacos for their birthday dinner tonight and I will probably have another little cake for them.  I am going to take it real easy today and have a little taco salad this evening with more salsa than anything.  Anyhow, so far I have done well with every festivity I was so dreading.

I made my goal early!

I made my goal!

I made my next goal I set early.  I was hoping for 156.8 by Thursday and I made it today (Tuesday).  So my next goal will be. 153.8 on April 3rd.  Again, this has to be achieved by increasing my exercise. Biggest Loser is on tonight so it helps me stay motivated. I'm starting to be okay with the Easter candy around here.  :)

I did it!!!

YEAH!!

I am happy to say I did not have one piece of Easter candy.  Mom even made brownies for the boys birthday and I did not have any.  Even passed on birthday cake Saturday for my father in laws birthday.  I am doing good. 

Better yet, I got on the scales this morning and lost 1.2 pounds since yesterday.  :)  This so could have went the other way had I crashed yesterday.

Oh and here is a cute picture os a little lady in her first Easter dress.  Okay maybe two.

Look Look

Don't think I'll be wearing these anytime soon!

This is so going to help me in not eating bunny candy tomorrow.:)

New Goal for March 27th!

Goal 156.8!

Well, my new goal for next Thursday is 156.8.  That just seems so weird to even type it.  I could actually be in the 140's before long.    Well, it will be awhile, but it will happen.

I think we are going to take the boys (and Kia) mini-golfing today at a new place my neighbor told me about.  It is indoor and I guess they sell PIZZA!  I think I will just take something small like a banana or a protein bar and plan on drinking lots of water.  Then again, with 5 kids, it is easy to stay busy especially at food time.

So I am feeling pretty good about the upcoming Holiday.  I have made the commitment to not eat any candy and I will stick to it.
