Totally pigged out last night...

...at the costume party! :( Up 2.5 lbs. Have to get that off quickly so I can work on losing for this week. Wanted to share a pic from the party...

WI Friday

I am now at my healthy weight!!!!! That was my current goal and I'm there! My scale say 152.5 (w/o clothes), JC scale is 153.2 (w/clothes, of course)...my healthy weight is 153.

My journey actually started because I was unhealthy...my dad had quad. by-pass surgery in May of '06...then I started having panic attacks because of fear of dying and leaving my kids w/o a mother...I knew I had to do something positive for myself. I finally parked and walked into JC w/o an appt, after driving by almost everyday, wanting to get enough nerve to try it.

I still have 18.2 lbs to go, but wanted to brag that I am now at a healthy weight, according to the weight tracker.

YEA me!!!!!!!!

omg,omg,omg!!

So, went to buy a sweater today...since I'm cold all the time...but went into B.Moss instead and bought a skirt and top...and OMG!!!!! I bought a size 6 skirt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's pix! (I know I'm weird, but had to add the ticket with the size, since I still can't believe it myself!)

WI Friday

Gained .6 oz this week...should start any moment. Rode my bike 47 miles this week.

Had some family pix made...

WI Friday

156.6!

Down 2.4 this week. YEA! Down another 3.5 inches.

WI Friday

Missed posting last week...gained 1 lb, but lost 1.2 this week, for a total of 6 lbs this month. I've now lost 88.4 lbs and have 24 lbs to goal. I'm comfortable in a size 10 and feel great!

This week and next, I'm on jury duty, so exercise is down to almost nothing. I rode 11 miles and did a little on the eliptical and some yoga this week. I did make it a point to walk up and down the stairs wherever I went, so I felt like I was doing something. One day I parked on the seventh floor and walked the whole thing. I was out of breath by the time I reached the top, but I felt good.

I had a heavy eating week...my husbands birthday, out of town, that type of thing, but over all I felt I made good choices.

I've been to the dr, because of some stomach pain. They've said I have an ulcer, so I'm taking meds for that. I just hope that's what it is and I don't have to have more test.

WI Friday

Another 3.6 lbs gone! Down 88.2 lbs...159.2!! Rode 59 miles this week, ate some lowfat chicken salad, but otherwise stayed on plan.

Okay, we went nuts with the camera!

Hard to tell my haircut, but I'll post one when it straight...Julie curled it for me...looks kind of cute! And I felt cute! Oe

WI Friday

162.8 JC scale...my scale, 161.5.

I was really good this week, but only rode 50 miles on my bike. But all is well, almost to the 150's! 153 is the top number for me to be in my healthy range. Can't wait to get there!

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!

WI Friday

So today was WI for me...I lost 3.4 this week...which is what I lost for the whole month of July! I was so, so excited!
