Skipped a week

Well, last week was a bit busy since I got on a plane to go to Denver to see Quinn! What a great time I had! I had a sinus infection the week leading up to my trip and was eating like hell so I didn't get on the scale much. When I got back Kyle had a 104 fever and Kevin was starting to feel crappy. After each of them went through a Z pack we all seem to be well again.

Today I got on the scale and am happy to report that I now am at 153.8! I am so excited! I go dress shopping for Sara's wedding today though so I am quite certain that excitement will not last long.

Slow and steady...slow and steady...repeat.

I'm on my way!

This morning at 9:00 am I weighed in at exactly 155. I am thrilled! I went to a baseball game last night and had some nachos and cotton candy and thought for sure I had undone the whole week. If I had skipped that I may have made it under 155 but that is okay! I refuse to deprive myself of everything. I am going to do this the right way. Exactly 20 pounds to go. Hooray! Has anyone decided to join me yet?

Hay Bale Gardening

Hello!
I just harvested my very first homegrown vegetable! I wish I knew how to post a picture of it. I followed MckMama and tried the hay bale. I was not as successful as she was, but we had fun! I have a squash growing in there too. For my very first try at a garden ever, I am happy!
Weight loss going well. Exercise...not so much! I think I will make the 5 pound mark by Friday! I wish my clothes could tell the difference.

First week results!

Okay, it is 9:00 am one week later and I am 1 pound lighter! 1.2 pounds to be exact! Baby steps. I do not want to loose more than a pound or two a week because I know it won't stay off. This is exactly where I want to be headed. Slow and steady. There will be weeks that I do not loose a thing and there will be weeks that I gain a little back. That is okay! I am 'in it to win it' - as my good friend (of the blog world anyway) Tricia says at http://www.fertilehope.blogspot.com/

Have a great weekend!!

Going Strong

I am determined not to step on the scale until Friday at 9:00 am. Except, I just did. I could not help it. I NEED motivation. So, with all my clothes on which right now are jeans and a sleeveless shirt, I am at 158.0. Hey, it has only been 4 days! Slow and steady - right!?!
