Loss this week 2 lbs
Total 25lbs

I still get intimidated by that 22 number but I keep telling myself: PATIENCE!! a pound at a time a pound at a time, every pound counts!!!!

Follow through and humble pie.

I actually did what I said I was going to. I took a trash bag and hit the pantry, fridge and snack cupboard. I tossed everything from frosted mini wheats to graham crackers. I even emptied the cookie jar. And wa-la two nights in a row now- no midnight snacking!!! I hopped on the scale to see if it made nay difference and it did...down 2lbs. Feeling pretty good I put on my favorite shorts and t shirt. I was helping Zoe get dressed and she said, mom your belly is still fat. Thanks Zoe. At the pediatricians office today they have all glass elevators. Not sure why. Entertainment for the kids but torture for the mom because it allowed me to see every fat roll on my back and sides. SUPer! Nothing like elevators and your 4yr old to keep you humble.

Long Haul

Weigh-in Wednesday
Bad news - no weight loss this week
Good news - 3 pairs of work slacks that didn't fit last week fit this week!

I'm bummed about the no loss situation but excited about the pants fitting. I need to adjust three things for next week, and I think I can get the scale to move.
1. Start drinking early. I know I sound like an alcoholic but I'm talking about water. If I start downing it early in the day it helps with cravings etc.
2. Get ALL the Damn treats out of the house. Sorry kids. But I can't seem to control the late night snacker. Sooo if the only option is healthy stuff at 2am so be it.
3. Increase activity. Brian was traveling last week and again this week and I use that as an excuse to not exercise.
NO more!
I'm on it Blue Bonnet!

Weigh-in Wednesday week 5

Goal 23lbs
Actual 22lbs

DANG IT! This is the first week I'm short on my goal. Which is interesting because I've put in three hard work outs already this week. HOWEVER that is typical my body. Whenever I've been on vacation from the gym and head back the scale goes up. sooo frustrating, but I kind of expected it. Also my cycle started and I haven't had that pleasure in the last 11 months.
I walked into Deseret Book in Bountiful yesterday and it smelled like heaven...or at least that's what Heaven better smell like. Freshly baked rolls and sugar cookies. They had sugar cookie samples that were the size of my thumb nail. I did have one, which I don't believe is harmful, but then driving Rems home from therapy I stole about 4 fries from his happy meal. I'm telling ya those bites do me in! My sweet friend Amy gave me the BEST gum and a big box of fairly non-harmful fudgsicles. I might need to keep that gum in my mouth at all times. It's the Layers gum by trident stawberry-orange. YUM

2 for 2

Oh happy day for school starting. Having a schedule is a good thing in my book. (Most days). 2 days in a row I've actually pulled back my eye-lids at 5am and gotten my booty out of bed to go exercise. My biceps are sore....love that feeling.

Cherry Hill

I've got a sleeping baby on my lap at the pool. I am observing this lady next to me and she is super petite and skinny. BUT there is still a little cottage cheese in her trunk and I know its awful but somehow that makes me feel better.

"Pants on the Ground"

I would break into song but it would need to be called "Pants on the floor" I have a gigantic stack of pants, shorts and Capri's stacked on the closet floor... just waiting for me. SERIOUSLY WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO FIT? I'm happy with the progress so far, but it just reminds me I have a way to go. Thank heavens for stretchy skirts. I have 3 outfits I rotate for work. My poor offices probably think I'm loony bins, and can't remember what I wore the previous week. I still have 27lbs to go and out of the stack 1 pair of jeans and 2 pairs of shorts fit. The rest are waiting. Someone out there tell me at some point you've had a similar stack.
