Goal Weight

135 lbs!!!
Quite by accident, I’ve met my original goal of 135. Yesterday, Jenny Craig called and they are considering me for a commercial! I’m supposed to hear today if I’ve been chosen. They have several women to chose from, so it’s possible I won’t be...but, I really, really want to be chosen! If I’m picked, they will fly me to San Diego, CA for the taping. Never been there...would LOVE to go! Say a prayer that they pick me!!!

Weigh In Friday

Today was weigh in Friday...I now weigh 136.4! I'm 1.4 away from my original goal...I've decided to just maintain. I've had a few people comment that I should stop losing, so I've stopped trying....Sooo, its amazing to me that I'm still losing!

Darrin bought me a new car today...2008 Chevy Impala. Red Jewel Tint with leather gray interior. We traded in my Trailblazer...only because of gas prices! Love my Trailblazer! I now have xm radio for 90 (I think) days free trial...very cool. Tons of stations. Came home to 3 or 4 inches of snow on the drive, but made it up with no problems! Worried about it, but the front wheel drive helped us out. So that's all going on here...my grandpa's birthday party is tomorrow...hoping all my cousins make it in for his party. Worried that the snow will spoil our party.

WI Friday

Missed WI last week...had my gall bladder out on Feb 21, so I am still trying to get back into the swing of things. Weighed in today and lost .4, for a total of 109.4 lbs.

Here's a couple of pix from Alia graduation...not the best, since we didn't have good picture taking seats.



This is a pic of the dress I wanted, but it went on sale the Thursday I had surgery...40% off...and I couldn't go get it. I forgot about it, but Darrin didn't. He called, bought it over the phone, had a friend pick it up and bring it to my son at church Sunday. Ryan brought it home to me that night and I was quite surprised! Right size and all! My husband is the sweetest!

Another before and after

Feb 2008: 138.4 lbs and Jan 19, 2007: 247.4 lbs

Some updated pix...

I'm down to 138.4...plan to stay between 135 and 140...I'm happy. Feel good. Having my gall bladder out Thursday...should feel better in my tummy. Love JC...great program!

WI Friday

Okay, after messing around all month, I finally got below the 140 mark! FINALLY! I'm now 139, with only 4 lbs to goal! Below are pix from one year ago (Jan 19, 07) and from this past Sunday (Jan 20, 08). Big difference! 108.4 lbs difference! JC is an awesome program and I recommend it to anyone wanting to lose any weight at all!

WI Friday

Another 1.2 lbs gone! Just 5.4 lbs to goal! I am just 2 weeks away from my one year anniversary on JC. I am hoping to reach my goal by that time...its unlikely, since I only seem to be losing 4.8 lbs a month. If I really go full force JC, w/o cheats, I can do it though, I'm sure.

...and this is his drawing of himself.

WI Friday

Well, normally this would be the week that I'd gain...TOM...but this week, I lost a whole .2 lbs! :) lol At least it wasn't a gain! Can't complain about that! Next week should be much better....if I stay or the program and get all my water in.

Jan 19 and Dec 1

size 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WI Friday!!!!!!

OMG!!! Last week I WI in Wednesday...before Thanksgiving. I didn't want to show a gain after Thanksgiving. I was exactly the same as my previous WI. Welllllllllllll, this week I WI and I lost 3.2!!! lbs! For a total of 101...that's One hundred and one pounds!!!! I am now just 11.4 lbs away from my personal goal. I've met Jenny Craigs goal for me, but still want to lose 10 more lbs. I'm going to celebrate!! Shopping................

WI Friday

Good morning! I did not get much sleep last night...something wierd is happening with me. I wake up about 5 AM and can't get back to sleep. It's 7:50 AM here and I've already done a 45 minute workout and a load of laundry...and its SATURDAY! The one day I CAN sleep in!

I did the new Brisk Walk DVD that I picked up at Target. It's got 5 different workouts. First day is a 20 min 1 mile walk, but pretty intense, since they use weighted balls. Second day is a 30 min 2 mile walk, with weighted balls. Definitely a better work out than the JC 2 mile walk DVD. I like that it rotates the workout...I have the other one so memorized, down to the annoying chatter. She doesn't do as much of that on this one.

I've recovered from my .8 gain from last week. I lost 2.4 this week. I've almost lost 100 lbs!!! I think I deserve a BIG reward! Like a sparkling piece of jewelry! With Christmas, though, that's unlikely. My husband's business is tight these days too, so I'll stick with clothes that fit! I was able to go to the basement and pull out a bunch of winter clothes from the last time I was a size 6...1997...so I do have a few things I can wear. It's 10 years later, some of them are back in style!

WI Friday

...a little late!

Up .8 to 152. My TOM started yesterday (the real thing, finally), so I'm hoping to lose this week. Sticking to the program pretty faithfully so far. Doing the Brisk Walk DVD all week...Sat, Mon and today, so far. It's just not a really good work out for me anymore. Not challenging enough. I need my bike, but its soooo cold!

WI Friday

Down 2 lbs! Got 16.2 to go. 151.2. Wearing a size 6 skirt, at the moment. Still amazed by that...started as a size 20/22, now a 6/8!!! :) :) Got to ride this morning...been doing the Brisk Walk DVD, since its so cold out.

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...
