179...again.

Not cheating on my foods either! Haven't lost any this week...WI is tomorrow...but haven't gained any either, that I can tell...my scale is in the 1/2 lb, so I could have gained...don't know.

I just did a very, very hard 8 mile bike ride...went a different way this time...lots of big hills. Each time I ride, I tend to lose the next day, so I'm hoping it shows at WI tomorrow. After the ride, I felt like I was going to throw up...needed water. Guzzled a bottle and felt 100% better! My chain fell off this time...I peddled and peddled, but couldn't go...it was kind of funny. I thought I was in the wrong gear. My butt no longer hurts when I ride, so that is a big improvement! I love riding!!!!! Can't wait for Christmas...I'm asking my MIL and husband to go in together and buy me my own bike. They can get very expensive, I finding out...$600 to $1000. I thought I just needed a bike...didn't know you needed a bike to fit your body. My neighbors bike is a mountain bike...I really like it and am used to it now...thinking that's the kind I want. You can go over any kind of terrain and not fall. I don't want to fall. I'm too old for that!

178.5

Only did the 3.6 miles yesterday and then did it again today. Ate my own dinner last night...some baked chicken, green beans, corn, mac and cheese and salad. VERY small portions. Maybe only a tablespoon of each.

178.5!

New number! Yesterday, after my 8 mile bike ride, I had lunch with a couple of old friends at Applebees. I had some kind of shrimp salad...it was on the WW menu. 210 calories, I think. Then had so much running to do...so much that my butt hurt from sitting in the car! But, I did get in another 2.6 mile walk last night. And this morning woke up to 178.5 on the scale! YEA!

Okay, something very weird is going on with my TOM...yesterday I spotted several time, like I was starting (5 days early), today, nothing, so far. This happened last month too. Princess Rose says I need to call my dr, because of a now longer and heavier period, but I keep putting it off. If I don't really start today, I will. I keep thinking its the big weight change.

179.5

Well, I did my bike ride on Saturday and again today! :) 8 miles each day...and still walking, of course. Yesterday, my daughter turned 7 and we had a party. I didn't do too bad. :) I did eat a small piece of fabulous cake and a small scoop of homemade ice cream, provided by my neighbor. But this morning my scale was just .5 (179.5) up from Friday's home WI. I thought that was pretty good...especially since Saturday I was up 1 lbs (180)from Friday's WI...so I actually lost .5. I think the bike riding is helping big time! And I love it!

180 My scale, of course.

Ate at Smokey Bones last night...shared a meal with my, soon-to-be, 7 yo. She didn't eat enough, so I over ate, but not terribly. Had the BBQ chicken, broccoli and salad.

No exercise yesterday, but I did do some cleaning.

BUT, went on another 8 mile bike ride this morning...AND stayed ON the bike the whole way! No walking up any hills! First ride, I had to walk up 2 hills...second ride, I only walked up one...third ride (today) I didn't have to walk at all!!! Of course, I thought I was going to die!! But I survived and did it!

YEA!!!!!!!!!

WI Friday

My scale, 179!! JC scale, 180!!!

I lost 4 lbs this week! Must have been those bike rides. Thanks, Leslie!

181 :o(

Went to McCallisters with my sis yesterday...had a veggie taco salad...it was delicious! But it cost me! Walked 3.2 miles last night. Now I have to lose 2 lbs for tomorrows WI...

180!!!

Now if I can at least stay the same for Fridays WI!!! I'd love to lose 1 more lb! I told my JC consultant, Lori, that I was going to lose 4 lbs this week, to make up for the 1.6 loss last week. I did a 2.6 mile walk last night, after a 8 mile bike ride yesterday. I haven't done anything today...not sure when I'll have the time, so may not do anything at all.

182.5

Went for a 2 mile walk last night...AND another 8 mile bike ride this morning!!! Yea!!! Stuck to JC like glue yesterday, plan to do the same today. Okay its off to the showers for me!

183.5

Okay yesterday was tough! Did that 8 mile bike ride...ate at Ferd Grisati's for brunch (had salmon, salad, green beans, fruit), then went to church, taught Sunday School...then went to a birthday party, where I was unable to heat up my JC food, but ate a hotdog w/o a bun, sm bit of broccoli salad, and fruit. I walked about a mile while at the park.

I must not have done too bad, 'cause I'm back down 1/2 lb. Boy, I've got to stay on program for the rest of the week and really work hard to lose! I know I can!

184 :o((((

Ate at Shogun last night...gotta get back! Today will be tough...going to Ferd's again today for Fathers Day. Will do it right!

OMG!!! I just got back from a 8 mile bike ride! Whoooohoooooooooooo! It was fabulous! I am soooo ready to buy a bike and go everyday! I borrowed my neighbors mountain bike...she road her other one. I was really worried I would hold her back and she would get frustrated with me, but she was patient and it was wonderful! My legs are a little shaky, not wanting to hold me up, and my butt was hurting...but it was so worth it!

182

Yea, new number! So haven't gone for a walk...overslept, after getting up at 5 am to see my hubby off for a hard day of fishing! Will get in a walk later today...going now to drop off my other kids at a friends, then off to shop with my Alia and MIL. Next Sunday is Alia's 7th birthday. :o( My baby is growing up!

Okay, so I went for a walk. 2.6 miles. I had to. Ate at Ferd Grisanti's. Ordered the half portion of whole wheat spaghetti and marinara...ate half of it. Had the worst salad...Ceasar. Had 1/3 piece of garlic bread. Oh, but it was so good. I did okay, though...I think....

WI Friday

183, my scale...184, JC scale.

So I lost 1.6 lbs this week. That's the lowest I've lost since I started. Up 'til now, its been at least 2 lbs. Oh well, I did NOT gain! :o)) I think I have a goal of at least 3.4 lbs, but preferably 4 lbs, by next Friday. I know I can do it!

Okay, what messed me up? I think it was walking 29.2 miles this week! I think I over did the exercise. So, as usual, no exercise today. I usually don't exercise on Fridays. But for the rest of the week, I will do 2.6 in the AM and 2.6 in the PM. We'll see how that works out for me.

183.5

And tomorrow is WI! :o( But got to be happy about not gaining! :o) Did a 3.2 mile walk yesterday morning...4.2 this morning. My tummy is a bit upset today, not sure what's up with that. Its just grumbly. Had French toast for breakfast today...really wanted some silver dollar pancakes with veggie sausage! Oh, yesterday I got my teeth cleaned, but didn't have time to eat my lunch before my appt...so came out of there hungry! Stopped at Taco Bell and had one taco supreme. Is that bad?? I don't think so.....it was just one....

183.5

Got in another 2.6 mile walk last night, along with some weights. Heading out for my morning walk now.

184.5



So, went for another 2 mile walk last night. Woke up and weigh the same today. Just got back from a 2.6 mile walk this morning...hope to go for another walk this evening.

184.5

Gave blood yesterday. Went to Mimi's Cafe for dinner. Had Hibachi Salmon with Rice and Veggie's, added a salad. Ate all the salad and halfed my dinner. Also, had a third of a piece of spice bread.

Went for another 2 mile walk...total of 6.2 miles yesterday.

Went for a 4.2 mile walk this morning.

185.5

Just got back from a 4.2 mile walk. When to a birthday party last night. Enjoyed my JC mac and cheese and some salad...that salad was excellent, but probably not the healthiest. Had my JC cookies and cream cheesecake for dessert. Yummy!

I just realized that I have 50.6 lbs to go...
