Okay, honestly...I was really dreading today. I told my buddy Tyler not to even ask what kind of week I've had this week. I was pretty much off track all week. I got up this morning and ate breakfast, and then I remembered the dreaded weigh in. Why, oh, why hadn't I remembered it before breakfast??????
Anyway, with a frown and an overwhelming sense of dread, I made my way to the bathroom scales. I popped my foot on the scales with a bit of attitude to zero them out, and then made the dreaded commitment to share with my bloggers my successes and failures. That's how this accountability thing works.
The scales must have felt sorry for me because they told me I weigh 162.8 pounds. I said aloud, "Liar!" The foot pops for another zero, I step up, and to my amazement the scales repeat a happy "162.8." That means that I have lost 2 pounds this week.
I suppose the only thing I can attribute this unexpected weight loss to is that God is very, very good to me. Thank you, Lord, for giving me a very busy week to keep me off the couch, and a very strenuous yard sale Saturday. That must have been my saving grace this week.
I have been a very poor example of a healthy eater this week, but God has been a very good example of a loving, gracious Heavenly Father. I will try to do better this week. I have the ingredients for my new reduced-calorie recipes to try this week, which should really help.
Let me know how you did this week!

So....this week was again not as good as I had hoped, but like I said last week....a little lost is better than none lost.
I weighed in today at 150, so that is 1 lb. lost. I had such big hopes as I am going to Cancun soon, but rather than sit and worry about it I have tried to pinpoint why.
Why?? It's really not that hard. While I have stayed to my point allowance exactly, I have had to eat out alot this week due to being on the road alot and away from home this weekend. Just because I have stayed withing my points allowance does not necessarily mean it was the healthiest way to go. I'm sure this affects my weigh in. Fast food is not good any way you look at it!!!
So....to sum it all up....I am very thankful the points system allows us to eat out when necessary, but this week I will try to make as many of my meals at home as possible. Things should be a bit slower this week.
will weigh in tonight, be lookin for my post

Didnt happen tonight

I lost 2 lbs the first week and two again this week! Slow and steady wins the race, huh? I've cut my portions at dinner, chosen healthy between-meal snacks, but most importantly I've been drinking lots of water. This is hard for me because I typically don't drink a lot of anything. Keeping bottled water in the fridge is really handy. I try to keep a bottle in my hands everywhere I go, even around the house. I also am drinking very few carbonated drinks. I didn't go to Curves at all last week because I felt the cold I had been treating going into my chest. Started back yesterday (Monday), so hopefully I'll drop an extra lb. this week. Thanks, Frances, for being our cheerleader!!
Hurray for Sharon!!!!! I'm thankful for your loss!
