Weigh in...

I weighed in on Sunday...I was a little disappointed because I gained 1 pound.

Darn, I kinda expected it but I have not been eating very well...too much junk.

But I am not going to get down on myself, I am just going to be better.

I think I am getting ready to start my period too, I feel bloated and I ate everything but the kitchen cabinets last week.

So here's to a great week.

I have been thinking alot about my mom lately.

I know she would want me to be healthy and live a healthier life than she did.

I think sometimes we never think the bad will happen to us and then when it does we can't see the damage inside of our bodies so it never really hits us.

I don't know why mom never changed some of her habits, maybe because we never think it is as bad as it really is.

But I have had mom on my mind alot lately and I know she is with me.

I miss you mom.

Also Jen started the biggest loser at her base in Nebraska and she has been working so hard and setting such a great example for her mom.

Jen you inspire me.

Weigh in...

Weigh in was Sunday...I did weigh in and I gained 6 ounces. Not too bad, thought I was going to gain a little more with all the holiday goodies I ate. I have been craving a little junk which I know comes from that lovely time of the month. So, I am trying to be strong. When I have to go to the back of the store to put something back or grab something I always try and run to get my heart beating. I try and stay really busy at work when helping the cashiers...and I pushed carts for 5 hours yesterday. I was really tired when I got home and felt like someone had beat me up this morning. So looking forward to weigh in next Sunday.

I can't believe it...

I had to go shopping on Thursday to get me some new dress pants for my job interview on Wednesday. All my dress pants are too big and I didn't want to look like a clown. Pete and I went to breakfast and then headed out to the stores. I grabbed a couple of size 10's and grabbed a size 8 just for the hell of it to see how much more I had to go....well the size 8 fit and I didn't even try on the size 10's. Yeah for me...I am so excited. I am still wearing my size 10's and 12 to work with a belt, which I had to take in another notch.
Weigh in is tomorrow, I am thinking I will not lose any because I seem to always be a week behind. But I am okay with that because I know I had a few extra goodies for the holidays and we made caramel Pirate Booty for New Years Eve.
I feel so good and I am so motivated to keep going. I am still trying to get to 130 to be the same as my sister. You hear that Cindy?

weigh in...

I can't believe it.

I weighed in this morning and I lost 3 pounds.

I am down to 147.

YES!!!!!!!!

I have not been in the 140's since my girls were little and I mean little.

I was ready to not lose any after eating all the yummy holiday goodies,

including the Potica that my sister Deb made for us, I mean me.

I am motivated to keep this up and get down to where Cindy is...130.

Here is to a great week.

weigh in...

I know weigh in is tomorrow...but I forgot to blog about last week's weigh in.

I lost a pound so I was down to 150, dang...so close to the 140's.

I am not getting my hopes up too much for the weigh in tomorrow.

I ate pretty good and was busy at work, in fact I worked 9 days in a row.

I have prepared myself for tomorrow and to not be too disappointed when I either gain or stay the same.

I did have some goodies at Christmas, but I did not bake I just had goodies friends brought and I did have some chocolate cream pie.

So I am giving myself a break, I will weigh in but I will not be too hard on myself.

So tomorrow after weigh in it will just be a new week.

I talked to my sister Cindy, we were talking about how much I have lost and how much more I wanted to lose. She told me how much she wieghed, 130, oh girlfriend the challenge in on. That is my new goal to be down as much as her. So I have 20 pounds to go.

BEWARE...

I had this on my family blog but thought it was more fitting and so funny that I should have it on my diet blog as well.

This is for Cindy...

I was talking to my sister Cindy the other day and we were talking about how much weight I have lost since I started working.

She was so excited for me and wanted to see some pictures.

So I told her I would put some up on my diet blog. I am in my work clothes so I will take some more when I am down to 145 in my exercise clothes.

I had to buy a belt, these jeans are my size 10 and they are loose but I think a size 8 would be just a little too tight.

The only bad thing about it is my boobies are shrinking, hahahaha
NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS SKINNY FEELS!!

yippy-i...

I weighed in on Sunday...YES!!!!

I weighed 151...I am two pounds from being in the 140's.

Man, it has been a long time since I have been there.

I am so happy and I feel so good.

I feel like I am building muscle as well.

I still have a way to go, but I am hopefully on a roll.

With Christmas coming up I am going to have to be really careful.

I am eating good and healthy snacks for my breaks and good healthy lunches.

I am watching my portions as well.

Pete lost a pound too. Yeah, for Pete.

yo-yo...

I feel like a yo-yo.
My last weigh in I was 152.7 and Sunday I was 153.1
I was a little disappointed because I have been working like crazy at work.
I have been running around Costco, pushing carts and eating pretty healthy.
My husband mentioned that maybe it is muscle...you know it weighs more than fat.
I still feel good and my clothes are getting really loose, in fact I had to buy a belt because I don't want to go buy new clothes yet.
My 12's drown me, my 10's are getting really loose, I am thinking I could probably fit into an 8.
I have been retaining a little water because I am on my feet all day, so I try and put my feet up when I get home from work.
So on to next week, hoping to get down to the 140's.

Keeping up and weighing in....

Since starting my seasonal job I feel like I have been working out everyday and I have noticed it on the scale. I weighed in on Sunday and was down to 152. Yeah me!!!! I am so excited but I am also tired and hoping I am losing weight the right and healthy way. I am not eating any junk, well I did have a little over the Thanksgiving holiday. For the most part I am taking healthy snacks and eating a healthy lunch at work. I feel better and feel like I could run on the treadmill with no problem. I am not only thankful for a job right now, I am thankful it is keeping me healthy and helping me lose weight. Looking forward to weighing in on Sunday. Hoping to be in the 140's.

WOW...

I weighed in on Sunday, two weeks after my last weigh in. I was in total shock when I looked at the scale and saw 155. Wow, I was so surprised and so happy. That means I lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks. Yeah me!! I am also tired and not used to working so much...but I guess I can look at it as being paid to work out. Off to work, will try and update more when I get the hang of the new schedule.

I forgot..

...to weigh in on Sunday...I just started a new job...that by the way I hate...but I need to work after being laid off for a year...anyway, that is another story. I had to work on Sunday but I will be weighing in again this Sunday and hopefully I will have lost some weight since I have worked my butt off at my new job. I have never sweat so much and not even been working out.

Sometimes I would love to do this and get all my agression out.

GRRRR...

This weeks Biggest Loser had me ready to scream. I cannot believe how some people act.

Poor Ed comes back to the house, does this guy realize he has a very controling wife? Poor guy.
Heba, this woman is all about herself and very controlling, must be daddy's little girl and spoiled rotten. Which makes her think she can control everything and everyone around her. She stirs up trouble then when is confronted doesn't feel like dealing with it.
This guy Brady is a puppet on a string, enough said.

Brady's wife Vicky...she is just plain and simple evil. I have never in my life seen someone so controlling, (except Heba) coniving and evil. This woman needs to be voted off. It is amazing some of the expressions she shows, she is so confident and cocky that she is controlling the game. I cannot believe how immature she is, she needs to freaking grow up. I loved it when Amy made a very smart choice and voted Brady off. LMAO

Next week looks good, but my heart goes out to Amy, she stood up for herself, with something that was going to be good for her and the black team and now the evil Vicky is going to seek revenge...stay tuned.

motivation....

I was going through some old pictures looking for some of Pete to add to the family blog for his birthday post.

I found this picture of me when I was teaching Pete how to fish,

right after we were married, (1983).

Oh my gosh...to be this thin again.

I want my body back...NOW!!!!!!!!!!

*This will be on my fridge for motivation.

Weigh in....

...I want to be just like Barbie, that B*t*h has everything...

...including no water retention.
I even want her work out center and to look awesome like she does when she works out, hahaha.
Pete and I weighed in,
he stayed the same which is better than gaining so good for you baby,
I am proud of you.
I however did not stay the same,
I gained 2 pounds.
I was frustrated because I was retaining water so bad the indents in my legs looked like craters
so I am trying to figure out what is going on.
No excuses...because I hate excuses!!!!!!!!!!!
It is what it is and I have no will power when it comes to halloween candy.
SO...with a new week comes new goals.
Let's see how is goes and looking foward to weigh in next week.
Until then happy work outs and positive thinking. ; )

Out of town...

I was out of town all weekend. Wendi and I went to L.A. to visit with Debby and her family. We also went to Universal Studios, Wendi wanted to go for the Days of our Lives fan day. So, I passed on weighing in and I am not looking forward to weighing in next week. Damn Halloween candy.
: )

Sunday's weigh in...

This is basically what it said...

Hahahaha, just kidding...it did say that I gained 2 pounds though, damn.

I hate being a woman sometimes and how if affects the scale.

I will just have a better week this week, go me!!!

Inspiration...

I stole this picture off my Aunt Claudia's page.

This is my cousin Danelle, she has lost 70 pounds this year and was able to fit in her wedding dress again!!!

Way to go...I am so proud of her.

No words...

...just a chuckle when I saw this picture!!!
Pete and I weighed in on Sunday. Pete lost 2 pounds and I lost one. Hey, not complaining especially since I ate horrilbly last week. Biggest Loser killed me last week...with the table full of peanut butter cups...of course I had to have some. I couldn't be strong like I always said I would be. Oh well, life goes on and we are on to a new week. I just hope last week does not catch up with me on the next weigh in. So for now, I have lost the feeling that I have to eat anything and everything. Yay!!!!

I am really going to try and get my 30 minutes a day of exercise in...at least 3 days a week. Okay, I will at least get 20 minutes a day of exercise in at least 3 days this week. There, that is more of a goal that I can reach for right now to get back to where I was.

That time of the month...

I hate that one week before I start my period and I want to eat anything and everything in front of me, behind me and to the sides of me...Why??? Don't we have enough to deal with just being a woman?
I had a bad day Tuesday and craved, hell I don't know what I craved I just wanted to eat, anything, but when I did of course I wasn't satisfied...so what did I do? I kept eating and was still not satisfied. So I am going on Thelma's diet today!!! BUT...I am going to get some exercise in too!!!

I have my duct tape ready

as soon as I put my candy corn away, which by the way I can have 22 pieces for 3 points on weight watchers. Okay candy corn put away.
Heres to a new day!!!!!
