It's been so long......

But I am still on plan. I'm still losing weight. In fact, on Tuesday I weighed in at 26.25lbs lost. Which is virtually amazing. I'm finding incredible will power....like nothing I have done before.

I still haven't cheated. Even after my great weigh in, I told Carson we would go get him Donut holes. I didn't have a ONE! I'm so proud of myself, and proud that I took this journey....

I'm getting what I truly wanted, losing weight. It never felt so good!

Oh-we leave on Saturday for FL, I'm struggling with having some cheats on vacation. I know I want to, but I also don't want to blow what I've done here.....so some inner chaos is going on in my head.....I guess I'll try to be good, but if I don't succeed, I won't beat myself up about it. I know I truly want to have some beers on vacation......it's the one thing I miss. Really!

I'll probably post again after vacation.

It's getting harder to deal with (m)

rumblings from my husband. How he doesn't want plain chicken? That it's too boring.

Well, try having it everday.

I only ask him to have it periodically! And I mean every 2 weeks. UGH!

So now here I go again, making 2 meals. Fun, Fun!

Oh-And he's not even going to eat here tonite. I'm sure he will get take out....

Anywyas....gotta love making 2-3 meals a night.

Here's to the rest of my life. HA HA!

Superbowl Weekend.....

I did it. I made it thru the Superbowl without gaining weight. WooHoo! I actually lost 1/2 lb.

I'm at 20lbs loss since the New Year. I feel great! (besides this cold I'm having)

I actually wore a size smaller jean yesterday. WooHoo! It's pretty exciting. And the fact I'm still 100% on plan, is great. I hope I can lose another 10lbs before vacation.....which is Feb 23. I think that may be hard, but I want to try!

Thats all I have.

Confessions!

UGH! I ended up drinking and eating on Sunday Night, and then because I was so hung over on Monday I ate bad, greasy type food. I was so bad. And I felt horrible. Becuz of the cheats and the hangover.

And then even worse, when I did weigh in on Tuesday! I gained 6lbs. YIKES! So no more 18lbs lost. I could cry!

I weigh in tomorrow. I have been 100% on the program yesterday and today! So I hope I'm down tomorrow......

Till tomorrow.....

JoAnn

I forgot to add something so sad.....

Becca (my daughter) told me at dinner the other day, that I had a fat belly.....

Another reason I HAVE TO LOSE THIS WEIGHT!

It was very sad, but I knew that day was coming!

Been awhile!

Well, good news. I went on Saturday, and was down even more. This past week I lost 6.25lbs. Bringing the total to 18.75lbs! Which is really amazing.

I love hearing that, and it's very, very encouraging, and makes me want to keep going.

I have had a challenging weekend. Yesterday Randy's dear aunt's bday party, we had 3 choices off their menu (assisted living restaurant): Tuna Casserole, Polish Sausage, Sour Kraut, baked beans, and then Cashew Chicken Salad/fruit/muffin. I chose the cashew Chicken salad, and yes it was full fat mayo. I only had 1/2 the chicken salad, some of the fruit, as I knew if I ate all of it, it would be over my portion of fruit, and then I had a 3/4 of a 1/2 of a muffin. LOL! Yes, I gave Carson half of it, then I snuck some of the muffin which turned out to be almost all of the 1/2....(it was really good) :(

Tonite I am to go to my Work Christmas Party, (yes it is Jan 27th). Randy was to come with, but Brandon got sick last night, and it looks like I will have to go alone, or not at all. :( I'm bummed Randy can't come with, as it was going to be a fun night out. But I have been planning to drink beer/alcohol at this event, but now I'm hesitating cuz I don't want to mess up the great loss I'm doing. It's funny how life works that way...I was so looking forward to cheating, and now I'm thinking I shouldn't, etc.

We'll find out what happens after I decide what to do! HA HA!

I'll give another example of food diary!

Breakfast: 2 eggs (1 protein)
Thermo boost drink
Snack: 1/8th a canteloup (1 fruit)
Lunch: Thermo Snack (Chili) in a wrap, and on a salad with tomatos. (1 protein, 1 starch, 2 vegi), 1/8th canteloup (1 fruit) I used lite salad dressing on my salad, so that is my fat for the day. (1 fat)

This is what I'm projecting after this:
Snack: 1 cinnamon crunch bar (thermo snack)
Thermoboost drink

Dinner: Chicken Breast, and 2 vegis. Probably frozen broccoli, and then grape tomatos. (1 protein, 2 vegis), and 8oz milk.

Cleansing Tea.

Yea! Down another 1.75lbs!

That makes a total of 14.75. Yea. After last weeks .75lbs for the week, I was so worried.

I've lost a total of 14.75lbs since Jan. 1st. So far I cannot tell from my clothes. I must have been wearign them way too tight. :(

I hope soon, I can go down a size.....wouldn't that be nice. :)

Day 21.

Day 21. No pop, no caffeine in the morning. Nothing. I can't believe I've done it so far. Most of my cravings are gone....I'm doing ok.

I got on the scale today, I wish I would see it go down, cuz I'm starting to worry, that I'm stuck already! Leave it to me to plateau after only 21 days. :(

Oh-well! I know I'm doing my body good by eating this good, etc.

Till tomorrow when after I weigh in.
