Another pound down...

It was a slow week but I managed to squeeze another pound off. I was bad last weekend. I indulged in some apple pie with ice cream plus grilled burgers and some macaroni salad. I had to really buckle down the rest of the week. I also had steak tips one night and leftovers the next so my intake of beef last week was higher than usual. It's so damn good though....there's no way to live without it.

This weekend I am staying on track. No parties, no celebrations. Just a nice quiet weekend. I'm 3 pounds away from the 20 pounds gone!

Another 2 lbs!!

Gone! Down 16lbs total! I never realized how many pounds I could hide. No one has really noticed my loss except for me. But that's ok. I think once I hit the 20lb mark it will be more noticeable.

My cold is improving but I'm still hacking and wheezing at times. I managed to get on the treadmill 3 days this past week. I had my 1 1/2hour massage today and had company for dinner so I was busy all day and had no time for a workout. I also splurged tonight and ate way off plan but I've learned that I can do that and still lose weight. I think if I didn't have special events or dinners to look forward to I wouldn't be able to stay on track and lose any weight.

I'm still pushing for 20lbs off before starting the next cycle. I am positive I can do it. I started a pack of bcp's this past Wed. when AF arrived so I've got about 3 weeks before she reals her ugly head again:)

Weight loss update...

I am officially down 14 lbs today! I am also sick with a bad chest cold. I can hardly breathe so the treadmill is out for now. I'm not that hungry either so I'm not too worried about the week ahead. I dragged myself to the grocery store last night and it's a good thing I did because all I want to do right now is go back to bed. So I will. Maybe I can sleep this cold away.

Finally....

Yay! I lost 3.5lbs this week! I have lost a total of 11.5lbs so far. I am so happy to have surpassed the 10lb mark. Maybe going out one day and consuming alcohol and going off plan is the key:). Who knows??? I'm going to keep plugging along. I've got another party today so I can test that theory once again.

I hate the scale...

It said I stayed the same this morning.....I am so angry. Yesterday I was down about 1 1/2lbs since last Saturday. Suddenly I've gained 1 1/2lbs overnight??? Ugh. If I wanted to stay the same, I could do that without dieting and exercising. I've managed to stay the same weight for over 2 years! I am going out tonight and I'm drinking maragaritas. Screw it. Tomorrow I will try to get back on the wagon.
