I had so much fun Saturday night and yesterday. We stayed up late watching movies and horsing around. Sunday we had a cook out and played badminton and board games. It was the most fun I've had in a while. I can't wait to do it again. Several people told me yesterday that I need a new pic on myspace because it doesn't really look like me anymore. I can tell in my face, in my hips, in my thighs, in my waist that I've lost.
This week I have been doing so good with the plan I set for myself. So when I got on the scale this morning I had a number in my head that I wanted to see. I told myself I wouldn't be upset if I wasn't there just yet. Got on the scale........
I was not disappointed. :) :) :) :) :) Weighed in today at 210. :) Total lost so far 30 lbs!! :)

Saturday :)
3 miles today, 3 miles yesterday, 3 miles Thursday. Tomorrow I hope to get a walk in. I'm supposed to spend the night with friends tonight. I'm going to try to talk them into walking around their block. We'll see if it happens.
Some days I struggle with eating enough food...Oh the irony. I'm just not hungry like I used to be. Tuesday I was nearly done with my walk, I was about 1/2 block from home and I got really lightheaded. I felt like I was going to pass out. Got home ok, checked my sugar, and it was really low. I've been doing great with drinking all my water, 3 liters a day.
I'm can't wait for Monday to get here. I took a sneak peek yesterday and I'm really happy.
If I continue kickin ass like this, I should have no problem getting into Onederville by my birthday. :) :) :)
Time to hit the shower and get ready for work.

Thursday
Just checking in since it's been a few days. Monday I walked 2 miles in 44 minutes. Tuesday I found this site and changed up the route and walked 2.36 miles in 45 minutes. Wed I talked myself out of walking because it was cold and rainy outside. Today I walked 3 miles in 62 minutes. First mile I took Rock and we finished in 22 minutes. We're improving.
Goal for Friday and Saturday is 3 miles each day. The weather is supposed to be beautiful here.

Monday weigh in
Wednesday I made bad food choices. Thursday I was determined to get back at it...to plan meals and snacks better, to not make things I shouldn't have, etc.
Thursday was great, Friday even though work was insanely busy, I still did good.
Saturday work was beyond insane and hectic. But I still stuck with it and didn't cave to the pressure to eat my way through the stress. Sunday, again were super busy and I had several difficult people within the first 20 minutes, and I was hungry since I got up late and didn't have a proper breakfast. But I did grab almonds and string cheese on my way out of the house and that held me over.
I need to get my camera back and take progress pics. Since I can't do that at the moment I decided I should remeasure.
Beginning inches were
Waist........ 46
Hips.......... 45
Bust.......... 44
Chest........ 42 1/2
above knee....19
Upper thigh.... 26
Upper arm.. 15
Neck............ 17
Total.............................254.5
Current inches are
Waist...45 1/2
Hips...44
Bust...43 1/2
Chest...41 1/2
Above knee...19
upper thigh..25
upper arm...14 1/2
neck...16 3/4
Total..........................249 3/4
For a difference of 4 3/4 inches. FYI arm and leg measurements I only counted one. I do have two arms and two legs though.
Beginning BMI was 37.6
Current BMI is........33.7
Another 25 lbs and I'll be overweight instead of obese. Whoohoo, can't wait.
Nothing to write home about but it's progress none the less.
And now for the moment we've all been waiting for.
Monday...Official weigh in....214 lbs.

Confession
Yesterday I fell of the wagon. It wasn't as bad as it could have been. I'd say it was a combination of not being prepared and being frustrated/irritated.
I had made cookies to bring to work, plus I already had brownies that I really wanted to get out of my house. So I brought it all to work for everyone else. I neglected to bring something that I could have. On top of that I was having a bad day. I'm nearly maxed out on all my credit cards. I checked one yesterday and I'm over my limit due to them adding my annual fee this month. I feel like I can't win with the darn things. I'm not getting ahead.
Plus I think I'm a little jealous of the roomie. Quick recap...he and I used to be together. We broke up and neither of us can afford to live alone. So now we share a 2 bedroom apartment. We haven't been together for months. He has a new girlfriend already, just met her like a week ago.
But my tumble from the wagon was not as bad as it could have been.
I had 3 small cookies, a brownie and a sandwich on regular white bread at work. I stopped at the store on my way home from work. I was going to get more bad/sugary stuff to eat. I have really been wanting those orange sherbet push ups. Don't know why. But as I was looking for them I thought 'Why are you turning this into a full blown binge? A few cookies is not the end of the world'. I couldn't find them anyway and I didn't get anything else.
I woke up this morning with a headache...like a sugar hangover. But there will be no hair of the dog for me! LOL

Monday Weigh-In
I stepped on the scale right after I rolled out of bed. My eyes were still blurry and it was hard to focus. But I'm sure it said...
215 lbs !!
I love the way I feel when I totally eliminate sugar. I have more energy, I don't constantly feel hungry, my cravings for sugar are gone. I am a sugar addict in recovery.
The roomie tried to entice me with candy he had bought and I wasn't even the least bit tempted. I also mixed up a box of brownies for him (he's severely challenged in the kitchen) and I didn't take even the tiniest taste. I did however have a sugar free chocolate pudding cup after I was done.
Headed out right now for a stroll with the dog. Later I'm going to the movies with Smith and friends.

It's Friday and I'm sore
No walk today....yet. I had an appointment early this morning. Then when I came out it was raining. If it clears up before I have to go to work I'll head out for a mile or two.
Last night I was really wishing I had started off slower. Too much too soon and I was so sore last night. My back, my legs, even my arms and shoulders hurt. The soreness wasn't all from walking though. The roomie and I have been in the process of switching bedrooms for almost a week now. I was off work yesterday so I finished it up, washed all the sheets and remade both beds. I slept so good last night too.
