Day ???

139.2 this morning!  Yeah.  I have been doing pretty darn good with the eating but not that great with the working out part.  I need to get back in the gym.  This week was stressful because I was teaching a new class but I should be back to normal after today.

Day 40

Had a bit of a rough time keeping the scaled at 148.  It actually went up to 149 for a day or two.  Oh well, these things happen.  Today I was down to 147.6.  I’ll take it.  I realize things might go a bit slower now but I will continue on my journey.  I’m still working out, feeling great.  I have one major issue though.  I really don’t have anything to wear.  All the clothes my Mom bought me for my bday in May are now TOO big.  I have tons of stuff in my closet but most are size 8s and I’m just not there yet.

The other day, I went to work and tried on my work pants and really couldn’t wear them 12 and 14s.  I found a pair of slacks in there somewhere with the tags still on them (10 petite) and they fit perfectly.  Yeah. 

Hopefully they will be too big sometime soon.

People are starting to notice and commenting.  It really makes my day.  One of my co-workers said she had to take a double take when she saw me.    Yeah..that’s a good thing. 

I’m still doing the cookies and NOT cheating.

Day 25

Ok..have to go to Peter Piper Pizza tonight for a little party.  I just checked the calories for their pizza and it looks like a thin Ham/Pineapple pizza is 130 calories for 1 slice.  I’m going to do one slice for something a bit different. 

My clothes are getting baggier so I know I”m losing.  I did 60 minutes of cardio yesterday and 45 minutes this morning.  Yeah for me.  I actually kind of…(KIND OF) like it. 

My mom is down to 138.5!  That is so awesome ..she started at 155 5 weeks ago.  My BIL is down 28 lbs in 5 weeks…that’s crazy.

Day 22

Entire family went to the gym last night again.  It was really nice to be all doing this together.  Son did weights with Andy and then a bit of cardio.  Daughter and I did cardio.

Almost can’t wear the clothes I bought for myself 2 months ago. 

Yesterday was an easy day on the diet because I was teaching all day.  The only bad thing was we ate dinner too late (8pm).  Next time we need to either workout earlier or eat before we go (not sure how well that will work out).

Mom is still going strong…she’s been on it for over a month now and is down about 16 lbs.  She said she can’t seem to the break the 140 mark.  She’s only been stuck there for 2 days.    Impatient we are.  I haven’t weighed myself so I have no idea how I’m doing weight wise, I just know my clothes are pretty darn baggy and I feel a LOT, LOT better.

My mom, sister and Brother-In-Law have all switched to Dr. Siegal’s cookies.  I guess they got frustrated with the $150 (each) monthly fee and Dr. visit when all they really did was weight them.  Seems like a lot to pay to be weighed each week.  Plus, I’m convinced Dr. Siegal’s cookies taste better. 

Day 12 –

Wow…Day 12.  Can’t believe it.  I had to visit a friend last night and work on some web site stuff.  They ordered pizza from this great pizza joint and I ordered a side salad. I did it.  I did not eat the pizza.  Yeah for me.  Funny thing was I didn’t even want the pizza.  Crazy.  I did have one glass of wine though but I substitued that for 1 cookie.  I know wine is empty calories but boy did it taste good.   

I finally got the guts to step on my scale yesterday morning.  Well, wait – my delay of getting on the scale had nothing to do with being afriad of the number I just made an effort to not let it control my life.  But curiosity was just killing me.  So I stepped on the scale thinking I would see a number right around 160.  Ha!!!  The number read 189.6. WHAT?  I about had a heart attack.  Then I saw ‘LO BATT’ on the digital reading and realized the battery was low.  So I changed the battery, stepped on and again it read 189.6!  WHAT THE?????  Ok..I KNOW I am not 189.  So I was pretty freaked out a bit about the entire episode so I called my sister and explained the situation.  We are exactly the same size.  She’s doing the diet also.  She is currently at 158 as of this morning…down from 170 (year for her).  She laughed and just told me that there is nooooo way I could weigh that amount. 

All day long it bothered me so I asked my guy to weigh himself and guess what?  189.6.  Whew..it’s officialy.  Our scale is broken.
