The party is over, the cake and pizza gone and its time to really get serious. I never did make it to the gym last week. Too much to do to get ready for T’s party. Sorry for not being around. But my mom is gone and life is back t normal.

Today I am going to buy new shoes and billy blanks boot camp. I am also going to the store to stock up on veggies again.

All of you are doing so great and being strong. I stuffed my face with cake and pizza this weekend not too happy with myself right now.   

I just wanted to check in really quick before starting work.  I haven’t been online much the last few days so haven’t posted or anything.  Everything is still going well.  I had a couple of so so days but nothing really over my points.  WW tells me to have 30 points a day but if I did that, I would never lose anything.  I have been playing around with 27 points but even that seems a bit much.  So now, I am going to try and stay around 26 points and see how that goes.  I have been eating more veggies and actually liking them, which is not my normal taste.  I bought a new cookbook from WW to try some new things.  WW has these snack things at their centers which are really yummy.  They are like little mini bread twisty things and I got the ranch flavored ones.  Very good and satisfying when you want a little crunchy salty stuff.  This weekend was blah and I wasn’t feeling real good.  The only thing I managed to do was go visit my horses and clean their pastures.  My daughter has been really sick and I have had to kinda stay close by to help her (she lives with me).  That crud going around is nasty. 

 Anyways, I will read all your posts tonight and see what everyone is up to. 

 Leanne you asked for weight loss so far and it is:  9 lbs. lost and  P2G=91:grin:

 Take care everyone and have a great day, its a new week and good luck with your diets this week.

I have a collection of clothes from size 4 (once, a Talbots size 4 fit me – the summer just before I got married) to 26. My “real” size for about the past 18 months has been a 16. When I began to diet I made it into a size 14 – I used a gift card from Christmas to go get 2 pairs of good fitting jeans in size 14 and thought those would hold me for a while…

Then yesterday I got dressed for church and kept having to grab at my waistband and pull my pants up. My irritated husband said: “Go put on a belt! You’re bugging me!” And I said: “well, these are my “tight” new jeans, I shouldn’t need a belt!” (Yes, we wear jeans to church, it makes it easier for me to crawl on the floor with the kids in the nursery)

This got me thinking.. I have a whole tub of size 12 pants I saved aside. Size 12 is what I wore at my “skinniest” between baby #1 and baby #2 – size 8 is what I was before baby #1.

So, I crawled into the crawl space, pulled out the tub.. and the moment of truth… tried on the first two pairs of pants from the tub. THEY FIT!! I’m a 12 again!!!

So, today I sit proudly in my size 12 khaki pants at work. This is the best motivation I’ve had in weeks. I looked at the tub of size 8s in the crawl space and told myself: Keep at it. Maybe by the time it’s spring or summer season I can pull out some of those size 8s.

Doing all this yoga has had me thinking about Detoxing. So last night I did a search and found a two week detox diet that wasn’t as radical as I had imagined. I can have fruit, vegetables, beans, rice, and some teas.

So, I’m going to do it for two weeks. Anyone with experience in this? I just want to feel clean and healthy and go from there.

No more weight loss, than the initial 3 pounds, but my pants are fitting much better and I’m feeling great.
