BOOYAH!!

Down 3.4 lbs this week!  Which puts me at 15.6 pounds lost.... WHICH MEANS... I get new shoes. You're Darn Tootin!  Now I just have to figure out what shoes.  I know I want/need new athletic shoes.  Something I can massage and workout in.  Any suggestions?  Please leave a link in the comments section so I can see what they look like.  A girl has to be stylish, you know.  ;)

Tuesday Kinda Blew

Sorry to be blunt but there it is.  I am up 1.2 lbs this week due to all the food I shoved in my  flippin face this past weekend with my family.  Not to be deterred, I have refocused and have been exercising and eating within my points.  Granted it's only been two full days in my new week and I have a bday party to go to this weekend as well as a family brunch but I am bound and determined to stay within my points.  I am also going to try and not use the points I acquire for my workouts.  I want next Tuesday's weigh in to kick hind ends!

Keeping within the theme of suckage, on Tuesday my roommate decided to text me to let me know that he is "thinking" about asking the woman he has been dating (FOR ONLY TWO MONTHS) to move in with him.  Which really leaves me up poops creek.  Did I mention that she has two little boys?  No, well she does.  What this means for me is that if this does happen in the next several months I will have to move...AGAIN.  I just got here six months ago!!!  Me?  No, I'm not stressed at all.  And no I don't feel brushed aside and crapped on or anything.  (Is the sarcasm oozing through your computer screen yet?)  ;)

I just hope and pray that I find something amazing in the next several months and that things turn out for the best.  I'll keep you posted.

Have a great week!

Happy Dance!

Down 1.6 lbs!  Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

See That Girl, Watch That Scene...

Today I went to see Mamma Mia with two of my best girls.  We had a lovely picnic before hand with all manner of healthy and delicious foods and maybe a little sparkling rose thrown in too.  It was a perfect day, warm but breezy with no humidity which is always a welcome surprise in the southeast.  I really needed today and it was everything I could have hoped for.

I have been working a lot the past few months, had a few seriously stressful moments and have been doing almost an annoying amount of self reflection.  However, this past week has been lovely and relaxing and exactly what the doctor ordered.

Btw, I tried doing the Jillian Michaels workout dvd that banishes fat and boosts your metabolism and ummmm.... not for beginners.  It's actually for mostly fit persons who want to tone even more.  The lovely ladies helping her in the dvd looked like triathletes.  Yeah, not so much like me.  I gave it a good college try but when I was sure I was having a stroke I decided to back off and re-evaluate my netflix workout dvds.

Up .4 (point four)

Tttthhhhhhppppptttt!!!  : P
Ah well, not to bad.  As my WW leader said, this amount is very recoverable.  I like that.  Recoverable. :)

The Good, The SAD and The Ugly

The Good:  I am down 1.6 lbs this week....even with a whole weekend of wedding celebrations.

The Sad:  Our family dog passed away this morning.  The vet discovered a little too late that he had Cushing's Disease.  He was the sweetest, stinkiest, chillest dog ever.

The Ugly:  My iPhone died while trying to update it.  I have been on the phone forever with Apple (who has awesome customer service and hold music) and it's still not working.  This phone is my only phone, my only source of constant contact with my business clients and friends and family.  I have resorted to facebooking messages and using my office phone when I am at work.  :(  Which means I am at work for way longer than I should be.  Hope this situation gets resolved soon.  OY.

Speed Bump

Weigh in: down (point six) .6lbs---  Not exactly what I was hoping for but I will most definitely take it.  This may be the busiest social summer I have had in years and it's so befitting that I joined Weight Watchers (oops, cat's out of the bag!  ;)) right before hand, right?  Cookouts, holidays, weddings, pool parties, concerts, major birthdays.... what's a girl to do?!  It's actually driving me crazy not being able to measure every single thing going into my mouth.  I am not good at guessing, guessing is what got me into the situation I'm in.  I have learned that I need to allow myself a learning curve and WW is teaching me how to estimate portion sizes when it's not possible for me to measure.

I have to say that I am absolutely loving the new program!  This is not the Weight Watchers I did when I was 11 and could only eat  plain tuna and cottage cheese with pineapple chunks.  After hearing so many wonderful things about the program and seeing the success that people are having I decided enough was enough and haven't looked back since.  :)

Well despite everyone's advice nudging me towards A-Team (which I will be seeing, oh don't you worry) I decided to see SAC 2 with my sister and we made a girls day out of it.  Even though the movie was blah we had a wonderful time: sushi, a cosmo and fashion for days.  Yes the movie was too long and yes the annoying gaggle of drunken women behind us made me want to claw my eyes out every time they made a poopie comment about one of the actresses, the clothes or the men.... I still enjoyed it most of it (the most of it that dealt with fashion and Aiden and Big and Smith and ..... well you get the picture.)

I have a wedding to go to this weekend and it's making me very nervous because I really want to record a larger loss next week.  So keep your fingers crossed that this girlie stays with in her points and is still able to have a fab time.  15 lbs is so close I can taste it.  Mamma needs new exercise shoes!

Cheers!
