Slipped

Over the weekend I really slipped. I just have such a hard time being in groups and not eating. Fri. I went to a fund raiser in Danbury and then scrap booking with friends. We had munchies there - so of course I had some. Sat. I went to the WC luncheon and then a fund raiser dinner - both had wonderful meals so I over ate. Sunday we went to friends to watch football and of course I couldn't keep my face out of the chips and dip. Ugh - it's so frustrating. When I got up Mon. my weight was 187.4, Tues. was 186.2 and today was 186.6. I don't understand today because yesterday I ate right and walked for an hour. I am trying so hard not to get discouraged because I don't want to give up. I just want to lose 10 pounds and then I will go onto more of a maitance program and hopefully then I will learn how to monitor my eating.

I have an all day inservice today and then book club tonight. Still have no idea what my costume will be because all my free time has been consumed with reading the final Twilight book - I'm 1/2 now. It is keeping my face in the book - should do that instead of eating. haha

Blessings everyone.

Almost 10 pounds

183.4 this morning. I'm almost to my first goal and I am so excited. Finally I found something that is keeping me on track. Once a week we do weigh-in at work also - doing the Biggest Loser and with my clothes on I was 183.8 I'm not proud of my weight but I am so glad to see it is finally going down and having used the yoyo method for years. I lost 5.4 since last week. It hasn't been easy for me as I am a junk food junkie but I think seeing the results on the scale is helping me. I wish I could see it more on the body but I realize that I have done years of damage and it isn't just going to go away overnight. Yesterday I had pizza with some of our Residents at work so I'm not going to totally deny myself some treats now and then - just need to keep it in moderation.

We didnt' have Book Club last night so I had a nice quiet evening at home with Wayne and I totally loved it. I miss spending time with him. We watched Land of the Lost with Will Farrell and Drag Me to Hell. I started to watch another movie but of course it has scratches so I couldn't watch - keep freezing.

Busy day at work and then have a scrapbooking party to go tonight. Hope to get home early so I can just cuddle with Wayne and read - didn't realize that WWW Book Club is Mon. and I'm not even 1/4 done with our book.

Happy day everyone.

Tues. - Twilight

This morning the scale read 184.4. I think I need a new scale, though my scale is new because it always changes. I have to weigh myself a few times to get a weight that comes up more than once. Think I'll get a new battery and try that. I stepped on my old scale and it looks like it was saying 192 but it's too hard to read - those are tiny lines.

Today we are having an Alz. expert come to the the facility and check out the Dementia unit -will be interesting to hear what she has to say.

Book Club tonight - Twilight. I have to figure out a costume when I get home. I did finish the book but didn't realize how quick the discussion was coming up. I did love the book and still have to read book 4 once I finish up our WWW Club book.

Good day everyone.

Gained

I'm so disappointed in myself the scale read 186. I had bread last night and some salmon - guess I had too much. I just can't go backwards - I need to go forwards. I don't like eating downstairs at work becasue everyone just talks about how unhealthy my diet is and I think I keep that in the back of mind and cheat when I can. I need to stop because I've made progress and I want to be thin and healthy again.

I think I'm getting a cold because I feel very rundown. Yesterday I left work with a major headache and today I just feel so blah. I have a busy day so there is not time to whine about it. haha

Wayne is off because he worked Sat. He gets to sleep in - ugh so unfair. :) Last night we went shopping with our $100 gift card - boy the store is expensive we spent $150 and didn't even have a full cart.

OK world I'm ready for you. Blessings everyone.

1st week.

My little cheating all weekend finally caught up with me and I gained .2 pounds this morning - I weighed in at 185.4. Have to get back on track and keep moving forward. I don't feel so bad because I have heard of people who cheat and gain 3 pounds all at once. I'll try to get more walking in at work and do some after work. I asked Wayne to bring the treadmill into the downstairs and we both want to do that in the morning.

Yesterday we watched football and the kids came home to celebrate Wayne's birthday. It was a good day but I still don't want to go to work.

Blessed day.

185.4 More weight loss and I'm loving it. Last night I cheated so again I was surprised that I lost. We went to the MIA/POW fundraiser dance and we had a blast. We danced the whole night and there were too many munchies on the table for me to resist - but I limited myself. I did just drink water and made sure I did dance to help eat some of the calories I was eating.

Today we are going up to our friends Mike and Debbie's to watch the Patriots Game.

We woke up to a cold rain - ugh, winter is coming.

Yesterday a friend game me this cool stand with drawers so I can now organize my papers and rubber stamps - love getting free useful things.

Blessed day everyone.

Day 6

Weigh in was 186.2 - amazing. We had our friends Paul and Paula F. over for dinner. I ate but did not gorge myself - but I must admit I loved eating. I was worried about gaining weight so to actually lose amazed me.

We had a great dinner last night - it amazes me how we don't make time for our friends and family.

The weather turned out beautiful today. I met Kim S. for coffee and we talkd Veterans. I started to decorate the house for Halloween, will finish tommorrow as tonight Wayne and I are going to the VFW POW dance fundraiser.
