One more week...

Merry Christmas!!!  Its been a while since I was here last.  Riley was born almost 8 months ago.  I guess that's time enough for slacking off.  As of January 1, 2006, I'll be back..full time!!  A lot has happened in the past year, but too much to talk about now.  I just wanted to update and get the posts at least into THIS year before it changes again next weekend.

One more week...and then awaaaay we go!!

ICK!!!

I'm in a blah mood.  We went shopping this morning for stuff for Becky's birthday sleepover on Friday and we have softball PRACTICE tonight.  I'm still not sure what I'm gonna work on but we need to work on some stuff.  We need to buy a car this week...my piece o' junk keeps dying on me.  We'll see what we get.  I'm not even sure what I want.  Its hot and humid out but looks like rain..again. Our game last night got rained out.  I hope practice will still be on.

I did get all of the challenge done, but I haven't eaten all that great today.  Scrambled eggs with sausage in it and SODA for breakfast.  Pasta w/broccoli and garlic for lunch with SODA.  And a bar of starburst candy.  I will cut back at dinner so hopefully that will help a bit.  I need to get on the ball.  I don't want to gain weight.

Weigh-In Day!!!

woohoo!!!!  I lost 1 more pound since last week.  Its coming off slow...but its coming off!!  At this rate, I won't make it to my goal next March, BUT I think if it keeps coming off like it has been, it won't be hard to maintain.  I don't feel like I've totally OVERHAULED my life...I've made some small changes that I don't feel that I miss and so far its working.  Almost like my body was sleeping for a really long time and these little changes are waking it up.  Even if I only lose 1 lb a week, that will still put me more than half way to my goal by my goal date.  I'm sure I'll step it up every once in a while and I'll see 2 or 3 lb losses for a few weeks, but I feel so much better about the decisions I've been making.  And to boot--I've made a bunch of new friends online.  So far, nothing bad has come of this journey.  I've set a Father's Day Goal of being 210.  That's another 13 lbs in 37 days...not bad.  I MAY get there...or I may not...but I WON'T be 223 on that day...I'll be VERY close to that 210.  It will feel good to go into the Christmas season with a weight that is ONE hundred something!!! I can't wait!!!!

Let's see if THIS works

Ok..here I go! Let's give this journal thingie a try. 

So far today I've slept in and ate breakfast--1/2 cup cottage cheese and 3 pineapple slices.  I'm still kinda hungry but I'll try to survive til lunch.  I weighed in at 224 1/2  again this morning.  Not good...means I'm up 1/2 lb since Thursday.   But hopefully, I'll stick with it today and be back down to at least 224 tomorrow.  I'm also hoping the stupid scale is off again...lol  I think I should go buy a digital scale tomorrow.  We'll see...  I hate to buy a digital one and find out the one I'm using is off and I weigh more than I think I do.  But it would make weighing-in a whole lot easier.  Oh well...off to catch up on the board and then to get everything done.  I AM going to exercise today.  I've been slacking off too much lately.  See you later!
