My Best Life Now

Many of you wanted to see pictures so here they are.  This is the dress that I talked about.  I got so many compliments.  Everyone kept saying I looked great and happy and that whatever I was doing was working so keep going at it.  In these pictures I weighed 219.5 that morning (March 22nd)…had just […]

Hi, Ladies!!  I’m back.  It was great to see the family!  I got SO MANY compliments! 
Have had a great day back, eventhough I weighed in this morning 6 pounds heavier than when I left a week ago.  But, that’s ok.  It’s not all fat and all I can do is start anew and drink lots […]

Today I was supposed to fly to San Antonio, Texas but I am stuck due to weather. At 5am I got a call from United’s automated system telling me that I am stuck in Chicago because of the snow storm. WTF?? I am supposed to be in Texas for the reunion!!!!!!!!!! Luckily I was able […]

Okay, I don’t typically have these moments but this morning I wanted to beat up my scale.  Yesterday it gave me a gain of .7 pounds yet this morning it gave me a loss and put me into the 218s!  WTF?  Well, at least it puts me below 220 where I wanted to be before […]

Eat. Eat. Eat.  That is what I did today.  TOM is coming and it has me munching away non stop.  I stayed to work from home today because I went to bed past midnight last night and I just could not get up this morning. 
I wanted to go to the gym today but I am […]

Not a great weigh-in considering that I wanted to get as far away from 220 as possible since I am going home for the family reunion this Friday.  But, I am sticking to the theme that the numbers don’t define our progress.  TOM is almost here and I am very happy that I am fitting […]

Looks like the salad I chose for lunch at Corner Bakery wasn’t as point friendly! :-(  Good thing I have flex points to cover some of it.  I should have known since it had walnuts.  Oh well, at least it is good fat, right?
Today I had a lovely morning with the BF and then went […]

….and worked out before starting to work this morning.  I went for a walk outside eventhough it was 35 degrees.  It wasn’t so bad after I got my blood pumping.  Walked for 30 minutes and did some good stretching at home. 
Hoping to go out for another walk later today. 
Have a great day, everyone!

This time change is affecting me.  I haven’t been getting to bed until late and can’t get up at my usual 5:30am.  This morning I turned off the alarm and didn’t end up getting up until 7am.  I had an 8am meeting so I was not going to make it to work on time so […]

Here is my food log.  I should have said no no to the pop tart and rice pudding…  I DO NOT need sweets! 
Had a happy day since I saw the BF and he wonderfully complimented my progress.  :-)  Although it was a happy day personally, at work it feels like there aren’t enough hours in […]
