Okay, so I had my WI this morning...and I had a total of 3.6!!! pounds lost! I am ahead of my schedule, but am so afraid it will slow way down soon. Keeping that in mind, I'm not resting easy.

This morning, I had to take my son's car for repair. It had a recall on it and the key kept getting stuck in the ignition. I was going to be thre for a while, so I decided to get my walk it. AND, I walked for 4.23 miles!! YEA! That's the most I've walked at one time. I've walked that split up in one day, but not at once. So, now I'm home and got lots of work to do...hoping to get in my EM later today.

Haven't lost any weight according to my scale. :o( Have just 3 days to loose 1.2 pounds...but would really like to keep it up to 2.5, to be ahead of schedule. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

So, I think I walked 3 miles today. It's hard to know, since I just kept walking after I did my 2.5 miles...I started walking a different path than normal, so I hadn't measured it. Tomorrow I'm going to pick up a can of mace and maybe a polar watch to help with my walks. I am afraid to walk by myself sometimes, because of unfamiliar dogs. I figure the mace will work on dogs, as well as humans.

I wore a new outfit today, one that my husband, my mom, my MIL all hated. BUT, I had so many people come to me before, during, and after church to ask if I was loosing weight, that I looked great. So, I'm wearing it tomorrow and the next day too! :o)

3/24/07

This morning, according to my scale, I'm up one pound. :o( But I know why. I try to eat before 6 pm and be completely done with my meals, but yesterday I was running late on all my meals...didn't get to eat breakfast until 11 am! I also didn't get to have my fruit, since I seemed to be eating all day just to catch up. I'll do better today!

I've been walking my dogs. They have the invisible fence. Well, since I started walking them, removing their collars that shock, Abby, my golden retriever, now think she can just cross the boundry and any time. I have to retrain her. No more going on walks with my dogs.

An easier view of what I WANT to be...

These pics were taken after I lost 90 lbs on Phen/Fen several years ago...maybe June '97-Dec '97? Aside from the big bushy eyebrows, I looked and felt pretty good...until I stopped exercising and started eating. :o(

WI 3/23/07

I weighed in this morning...I lost an amazing 3 #'s again this week! I thought I would post a before pic of myself...and a more recent pic to see the difference 28.8 #'s has made.

I'm having a good week, I think!

I weigh everyday on my scale...I'm pretty sure it weighs me .5 lbs less than I actually am, but it does help me to know if I'm loosing or not...this morning, according to my scale, I'm weighing 2 pounds lighter than my Friday WI (according to my scale). My goal for this week was at least 1.7, since I had gone over my goal the last two weeks, so if all goes well, I will be over my goal this week as well! :o))

G'morning! I have been off line for a while...my brand new laptop (end of January purchase) has decided it does not want to work! Taking it back today...borrowing my husbands now. Don't have a clue how to work on a laptop...only familiar with the pc's.

Had my WI this AM. Was really worried...had my TOM this week and really didn't think I lost anymore than a pound...but, turns out I did better than I expected with a 3!! pound lose!!! YEA! Measurements were down another 9 inches for a total of 20.5 inches!

I bought a couple of new skirts yesterday, since Sunday is our 18th anniversary and I wanted to wear something that didn't hang off of me. Size??? 16!! No more 20/22's! We are eating at a place called Mitchel's Fish Market on Saturday, so I plan to have fish, veggies and a salad...and my cookies and cream cheesecake.

I enjoyed the sunshine this week and walked outside. My kids have been walking or riding their bikes with me...we go 2 miles on the hills. We live in the country and our drive is .3 miles of hills and gravel...quite a workout just to get to the road. I've been sore for the first time since I started working out....calves and shins.
