Weigh In

I lost 2 lbs this week!!! Finally, goin down. I am a loser.
So, how did all of you do this week?

Waddlin' To The Weigh In

I was waddlin to the weigh in, knowing that I had not lost a thing, wondering why I was even taking the time to go all the way downstairs. I moved the pile of clothes off the scales (they are in the laundry room) and stepped on. I lost 1 and 1/2 pounds! I didn't have to move the scale five times for a better weight this time! So, how are all you other ladies doing? I know Marva lost two.

Wednesday's Waddlin to the Weigh In

I have lost 1 lb. this week. It is discouraging, but I am moving in the right direction. I have done a lot better and feel like I am finally on the road to not being so all or nothing. I feel committed to stick with it and make small changes to make it to the end. I can't do it all at once. I have begun exercising and although I have missed some days, I am trying to learn how to fit it in when I have other things to do. I think that to think ahead and regroup when something comes up and try to at least do a little something is a big thing. Again, I want to be all or nothing, but am learning that a small amount is better than nothing. It is like trying to save money. Small amounts here and there and learning different ways to cut spending. Well, I am finding those small areas to save calories or add exercise.

Join in the weigh in and post your progress.

It's Not Even Monday

okay, I am really starting this time. Really. I mean it. And it is not even Monday or the first of the month. If you notice no photos of me are shown of our vacation photos. That is because they are in the witness reloadation program. "Reloadation: the load that I carry needs to be relocated somewhere else" You know how they take photos of you when you are on a rollar coaster and you run to the booth to see what stupid face you were making? Well, we couldn't find mine. I know I was on the coaster! We backed up the page and had to find the family member sitting beside me and my husband looked at me with horror on his face and said OUT LOUD, "That's you?!" Like, Oh my goodness I am married to a woman that looks like porky the pig. I did have on cute shoes, though. I am serious though, not even my family recognized me with my hair blown back making a face like I was about to die. So, I have polished off my South Beach Cookbook (this time
there are not kisses wrappers included in the photo)and am doing a two week jumpstart of combo South Beach/Adkins to get off the sugar and carbs. We did do a lot of walking for what I have been doing so I got a start to excercising.
