Not up not down!

Well I guess I'm lucky that I didn't gain. I stayed exactly the same weight as yesterday! Hope tomorrow brings a loss and it isn't a delayed weight gain!
Have a great night!

Amazing!

I'm always a little amazed at how fast the weight comes off each day. It is really not very hard and when I say I'm a little hungry I mean a little! I have been so hungry on other diets that I feel sick! I am only hungry like it must be about dinner time hungry! In the last 2 days I have taken off 4.8 pounds. I also had an unexpected visit from Aunt Flo so I know I'm retaining water right now!
Today a bunch of my teacher friends got together at a restaurant to visit and I tried to stay diet friendly but who knows what is really in that food! I guess tomorrow will tell!
Have a great night, until tomorrow!

Here I go again!

Oh, boy! I really hate to admit this weight! OK, here it is I'm at 192 to start this round! That's 12 pounds over my LIW! I did great today staying on the diet. I was a bit hungry but I did get in the pool and really work. I was vacuuming it and playing with my daughter so I was using alot of calories. I hope to see some great loss this week.

Back from vacation!

Hello everyone! Hope you have all been well. My daughter is doing great and we had a fantastic trip to Galveston,Tx. It got a little messy when hurricane Dolly got close but it really just make the trip a little more exciting for us. I feel terrible for those people in South Padre!
The bad news is I didn't stick to any diet while on vacation. I went with my sister and her family. Our goal every night was to find a new place to eat that we had never been to before. Some were good some not so much but all were totally undiet like! I gained 8 pounds, my sister 6, and my brother-in-law 10. He took 4 off the very first day back at work. He works outside and is very physical so all he did was eat a little less and work and off it came. I decided I would start with shots right off and not do a lot of over eating and tomorrow I will start the low cal part and hopefully lose this extra weight and some more very soon. I wish I could say I am sorry about cheating, but truthfully I'm only sorry about the gain. I only get to go on vacation about every 2 or 3 years and this was so much fun. I know that I need to get a better mental grip on food and fun! I still link them together. If I'm ever going to win this battle with my weight I AM going to have to change my idea of how to have fun. Maybe I will have to only allow myself a couple of cheats on trips or only allow myself to overeat if I'm physically active all day. I do know that once you start to eat the wrong things you want to eat more and you seem to be hungrier!
Well there's the good, the bad and the ugly about what I've been up to! Until later...

Real quick

Hey everyone! I've been holding on my weight. I am doing the Adkins type diet trying to get my body ready for my vacation next week.
My daughter had a simple operation but has had some bad reactions to the meds. so it has been upsetting around here! I hope she will get better soon and be ready for vacation or there won't be a vacation. Later!

Pay the piper!

Well after my 4th binge I am within 3 pounds of my last weight of 180. I have no one but myself to blame! Was it worth it? Of course not. It takes me so long to lose weight but no time to put it on! I know that but sometimes we do stupid things. I have been working on taking it off again, of course it is going very slowly now. I'm losing about .5 of a pound a day! I say slowly because it isn't a pound a day but that is typical for me. I am very glad to see it leaving so no complaints! Later!

Back on the wagon!

Good news today! I lost 7 pounds overnight and I am still having to go to the restroom every one or two hours. I was still a little puffy this morning and my joints ached. I'm feeling better this evening.
I went to the doctor this morning and my cholesterol levels had dropped 30 points into the ok levels! Everything looked great except they want the good cholesterol to come up a little but it is still ok as well. She told me to keep doing what I've been doing so I guess this diet has her approval!
I'm hoping for another big loss tomorrow but I doubt it will be as much as today. I know it was mostly water weight today so I hope it will be more real weight tomorrow.
Have a great night!

Yikes, I've been gone so long!

I don't know how the time got away from me! I guess with the holiday I just got lazy! I have really messed up over the 4th holiday! I was like an alcoholic on a binge! I woke up this morning so puffed up my face was tight! I'm probably retaining 5 to 8 pounds of water! See to make everything worse Aunt Flo came for the holiday binge! I have been pushing water and getting back on the low cal. diet today so hopefully tomorrow will see a big drop and at least get me close to my pre-binge weight! Hope everyone had a great holiday and didn't mess up like me! I go to the doctor tomorrow and get my new cholesterol levels! Hope they are better and they don't want to put me on meds. I'm not ready to do that!
Well, I will definitely write more often! So sorry I've been so remiss!
