WI Friday

Much better than last week! 2 lbs down! Whew!

I stayed on program for Tues, Wed, Thurs, and it payed off. I rode a total of 66 miles this week. I resisted the cake Robbie W brought to my house and left (keep your fingers crossed that I keep resisting!). I refused the Mexican Lasagna I made for last nights Fantasy Football drawing. I passed on the chips, cookies and sodas everyone brought...and I ate my JC meal and dessert. Hard for me to do, so a big win for me!

So, now I'm down 82.4 lbs and have exactly 30 lbs to goal. I'm 165 and happy (and I don't look bad either!), but I will be ecstatic when I'm 135!

Okay, I had to update for my WI...now for this week...

This morning, my scale...165. So I've lost that .6 oz I gained last week, plus some. I'm hoping to lose more before WI Friday.

This week I've done better with my eating.

Friday, I had a taco salad, at McAllisters. Rode my bike 12 miles. Weighed 167 at JC.

Saturday, I shared some baked chicken with my daughter and added a salad, at Smokey Bones. Rode 7 miles. Weighed 167.5 my scale.

Sunday, I had grilled salmon, veggies and salad, at BoneFish. Rode 9 miles. Weighed 167, my scale.

Monday, had 1/2 a deli sandwich and salad, at McAllisters. Rode 8 miles. Weighed 167, my scale.

Tuesday, stayed on JC. Rode 20 miles. Weighed 166, my scale.

Wednesday, plan to stay on JC. Plan to take a exercising break...and clean house instead. Weighed 165, my scale.

WI Friday

Gained .6 oz. First time I gained. My TOM...but still first time I've gained.

I ate out too much...Cheddars, PF Changs, OutBack, WW Cousins...4 out of 7 days! But I rode my bike 81.5 miles.

Will do better...

WI Friday

166.4

Down 2.4 lbs. 81 total. YEA!!!!!!!! 31.4 to goal. I wore the tan skirt, brown top and cream shell, just to show that I was in a size 10 skirt. :) Lori, my JC consultant, was amazed at the difference! She usually sees me in bike short and a cami, so it was different for her to see me all dress up...and really no place to go! LOL Heels and all! She wanted to take pix, but the camera was out of film...so now I have to go through all that again.

I have to be honest...I FEEL sexy. I may not LOOK sexy, but I feel that way. I really like the outfits I bought yesterday and I LOVE that the one skirt is a 10!

167.5

...and tomorrow is WI! :oP

No exercise yesterday...trying to take a rest day. Ate on program.

Rode 15 miles today...all by myself. My neighbor had something come up and couldn't go. Ate on program.

Went shopping today at a place called B. Moss. New here. I got 40% off everything I bought. Bought some cute outfits...now I gotta shoe shop! UGH! Not a shoe person. Here's a few pix....apparently I have a hard time keeping my eyes open!

167.5

Okay, I just got back from a 17 mile ride! YEA!! 56 miles total, so far.

Yesterday, the kids started back to school. :( My son turned 17! :( Stayed on program...no fudging...or birthday Eclair! Rode for 13 miles, walked 2.

Sunday, we ate at Sala Thai for his birthday...had way to much fried rice! Had one bite of Chocolate Eclair. Weighed 170 on Monday morning. Rode 15 miles.

Saturday, we had a young marrieds event. We took Fishery for food, but I had strawberries, cool whip and my JC food. Weighed 169.5 on Sunday. Rode 11 miles.

Friday, we ate at Olive Garden. YUM! I had whole wheat pasta, marinara and salad. Weighed 169.5 on Saturday.

Wilson's has the greatest sale! I got 2 leather jackets for $95! I love this one!

Okay, I think I'm up to date...now I'm going to have my JC pizza and head out to the pool!

171

but, after my bike ride (13 miles!!) I weighed 170.5. Hoping to see that in the morning, before the ride! I am so excited to be so close to the 160's! We ate at El Nopal last night. I got a single taco, no sour cream. I stayed away from the chips and salsa. Trying to be very good this weekend...was so off program last weekend.

March 16, after losing about 20 lbs and August 3, after losing 75.

My scale? 171! :o)

WI Friday

172.2 JC scale -2.2 and another 5 1/2 inches. 62 miles this week on the bike and 5.7 miles walking. Loving my thighs! Still need a boob job, tummy tuck and butt lift! :oP

172!!

New Number! Yea!!!

I've already gone for a 9 mile bike ride this morning. Took Alia out yesterday morning...did 8.7, then again last night, another 6. Hoping all that riding will bring me down another 1.5 lbs.

173

Going in the right direction! I bought a bike! YEA! Here's a couple of pics of my daughter and me on our bike....

175

To explain that gain, I have to tell about my weekend...

Friday, we ate at Shogun. VERY disappointed. Fried rice was bland and all the portions were small. I didn't even bother halfing it.

Saturday, I walked 4.2 miles. Ryan went out on the bike with Leslie, so I had to walk. We went to the Flea Market, then stopped at WW Cousins for a cheeseburger...yum!! I also had some fries. :o( We stopped by Bicycle Sport and looked at bikes.

Sunday, I rode with Leslie. 9.4 miles! YEA! After church, we went to a birthday party. I had a very small portion of pasta salad, a piece of bread with marinara and one slice of Papa Johns pizza...soooo good! Not a good dinner. So, got home and walked about a mile and a half.

This morning, Leslie wasn't able to ride, so I took her bike out and did 9.4 by myself! :o) I will stay on program today...I WILL! Gotta lose 2.5 this week...gotta!

WI Friday

174.4 JC scale.

173 my scale.

Down 1.2 lbs. Was hoping for more, but I'll take it.

174

Yesterday it was 173...not sure what happened...ate on program yesterday. Rode neighbors bike for 40 mins yesterday and an hour today (8 miles). She's back from her trip. Talked to her about a bike she has no use for...may buy it from her.

174.5

Wow, I'm really slacking off! I'll get my act together.

So, to update my exercise...

*Friday night, I walked 2 miles.
**Saturday we went to an outlet mall and did some school clothes shopping...does tha count as exercise???
***Did an hour bike ride on Sunday, with a 1 mile walk in the evening.
****Monday, nothing...cleaned a bit, but not anything I could call exercise.
*****Did a hour bike ride this morning.

Food confessions:

*Friday ate at Olive Garden...had half my spaghetti and meatsauce, salad and half a piece of bread....a bite of somebody's dessert.
**Saturday, tried to be good and had my JC breakfast and JC lunch, but then had a kids sized chocolate cone....for dinner we went to Max and Ermas...I could have gotten anything on the menu and did better than I did...I ordered the halibut with pan lemon sauce...I had NO idea that pan lemon sauce meant lemon flavored butter! It was swimming in it! I tried my best to drain off the sauce, but sure it was very fattening!
***Sunday ate at Mimi's Cafe...had Salmon and salad.
****Monday had JC all day, tons of fruit...probably more than allowed. I made something new that wasn't terrible, Enchilada's, so I had one with FF sour cream for dinner...it was soo good.

Okay, I'm all updated...

WI Friday

174, my scale...175.6 JC scale.

I WI today...I weigh the exact same as my July 6 WI. No gain or loss. Felt good about that. We talked about the difference in the way that I felt at the beginning of our trip, compared to the end....beginning I felt energetic and ready for the day, end, I felt lethargic and ready for bed. I know some weariness is to be expected, since we stayed busy, but I really felt the amount of food played into it. I ate a bigger than (my current) normal breakfast. After breakfast, then I felt tired...not before. Then I started waking up about 2, just about time for a afternoon snack of some sort...I felt okay after that, but dinner time (between 7 and 9 pm) would wipe me out again. I didn't like the way I felt. Eating less more times is definitly better for me.

Did approx. 8 miles yesterday on my neighbors bike. Stayed on program.

176.5

I'm on program, but getting very little exercise...life is getting in the way! Road my neighbors bike for 50 mins yesterday...apprx 6 miles...heading out again this am.
