I haven’t blogged on here this week, but I have been around and commenting and helping people out when they need it.  I just haven’t had time to actually post.  I felt more useful just commenting and being available.

I continue to do really well.  I am still working out and doing everything else right.  I feel it in my clothes and I think I might have lost some more weight since Saturday.  I have to say that last week when I had my 6.2 pound weight loss, I didn’t know it but I was 2 days premenstrual.  In other words, I got my period 2 days later.  Which means, I probably would have lost even more weight.  I usually gain in the days prior to my period.  Not lose 6.2 pounds!  I am hoping for more weight loss on Saturday and unless something really exciting happens, that will be the next time I post.  I will still be in comments on your posts, so I will see you there.

complaining and whining. And I don’t caring and stuff (how’s that for english) I ended up losing 3.4 lbs. Shut up. I know. I have no right to complain and still lose weight. I really didn’t expect to lose. I haven’t been watching what I eat. I haven’t been excercising. I had no right to lose weight.

But I did, so there :)- I’m giving myself a happy dance :yahoo::bananadance:

Today for lunch, I had a yummy salad, a half a yogurt, and a few chips with a slight dab of ranch dressing on them for flavor. Plus water. Not too bad of a lunch.

An hour later, I was hungry again. So I had a pack of South Beach diet cookies. Shared a couple crumbs with my two year old…. so I wasn’t feeling too guilty about that snacking.

An hour later, I was hungry yet again. And I didn’t choose quite as healthy of a snack. I got out the chips and salsa, figured I’d have a couple, and before I knew it, I was getting the fat-filled, calorie filled cheese out of the fridge. Put some chips on a plate, added cheese on top, and microwaved it. It didn’t take too long to finish those since I only had 5-6 on the plate.

Leanne’s Log (beginning weight from 12/27/05, when I started really logging everything again)
Begin P2G	Current P2G	Total (+/-) lbs/inches
46.5 lbs.	28.0 lbs.	-18.5 lbs.

I’m down 2 more pounds, and this will be it for me this week. I wanted to break “One hundred and mmmfty” pounds by Friday, but I’m right AT it and now I’m expecting company (•) and have early arrival signs so I can toss my goal out the window. I’m already up a pound and a half from yesterday! Damn water retention! Bah! The good news is that I did meet one of my goals, and that was to break the 30 P2G mark. In 7-10 days, I may be able to get back to where I was yesterday.

Seriously, Eve ruined everything for all of us, didn’t she? All over a simple carb. I totally wanna kick her a$$.

Thanks for all the encouragement ladies it sure helps! Well tomorrow I’ll weigh myself but am not expecting much if any. Its been a crazy week and I haven’t really increased my exercise yet. But I am in this for the long haul.

Rachel commented about my pink band bracelet. Yes it is the breast cancer bracelet. My mother was diagnosed with bc. She had breast removal surgery, went through chemo and radiation, but now has been cancer free 9 months. woohoo! Another reason for me to eat healthy!! I use the bracelet as a reminder or you could say trigger to help me. It has saved me from donuts and candy a few times. Other times Ive ignored it but I know its there nagging me. I wrote down all the bad things that will happen to me if I continue my unhealthy ways. I made it horrible and huge! Then I wrote down all the good things that will happen when I change. I wrote it great and very powerful! It made me cry. I try to read it often to encourage myself. Sometimes I concentrate on one thing when I look at my trigger, like I’ll get to wear my wedding rings again. Well posting this has made me all mushy and powerful so I’m off to drink some water and do some exercise.

Okay, after a month on a plateau and being really good I finally lost a pound. Good. This week, Nada! I’m getting so frustrated because I’m doing all the right things and yet, I am not losing weight. What the heck is wrong?

I have mixed it up a little, eating different things, I’ve mixed up my exercise, but still nothing is going.

I’m not giving up, mind you, but I would appreciate the Diet Gods bestowing more weight loss on me than I have had recently!:bawling:

I’ve had a pretty good week so far, and the scales show that I’m down another 1.5 lbs, just since last Friday! Yay, me. :dance: That makes a total loss of 8 lbs, 60-even P2G. (I changed my “official” weigh-in day to Wednesdays from Friday.) I’ll be glad to lose even a half pound more as that will take me into a new set of numbers.:bananadance:

P2G: 60 [-8]
