*Back On Track!*

Ok, I did it. I hopped on the scale this morning and peeked out, and was so ecstatic! I lost 2.5 lbs. from last week! I knew I could do it! It was NOT an easy battle, to try and stay on track, but I accomplished something!
Because it's winter, I've noticed that it's much harder for me to keep drinking my water! Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions?
I'm not sure anyone is reading this anymore, and I can't say that I blame them, I never seem to know what to say on other people's blogs except to agree with someone else and I don't want to sound lame! UGH! Oh well.
If anyone is readin this, I hope you are having great success at losing your demons!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE, HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR!

*Gulp*

Well, I know i'm supposed to get on the scale this morning, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it! My heart doesn't seem to be in it this time around, and I WANT it to be! I'm not sure what to do!! I'm thinking about joining WW Online and hope that helps! Does anyone else utilize the online program? Any pointers to help me get back on track? Man, I hope so! I definitely cut down on the bread this week. I bought the English Muffins and used those, mostly. I cheated more than I wanted to this week, which is another reason I'm fighting the scale! UGH!
My niece called this week and said she is getting married May 23rd, 2008. That gives me the time frame to lose everything I want to lose, but it's not helping!! UGH, I just want to cry and eat something terrible! Instead, I will go heat up my WW angel hair marinara or whatever it's called! I have off Sunday from both jobs and I AM going to do the little quiz thing from you, SuperJayman, PROMISE! Hopefully, I'll be able to figure out creating my page a little better, too!
Well, gotta go, still working and don't want to get into trouble!

Day One, Week One . . . . Again!!

Ok, so I hopped on the metal devil this morning, and was pissed at what he had to show me, BUT, I know it is my own fault! I gained enough! So, starting completely over. I had to rush out the door this morning so I could take my time getting to work and NOT hit another deer, and left my jacket and WW journal behind!! :( But, I remembered my big jug of water!! :) Which, I proceeded to drink most of in a 4 hr. period!! Very proud!!
Ok, time to back OFF the bread again! I had 3 already today! UGH! Ok, Ann, you CAN do this, you did it before, you can do it again!
I made two eggs, scrambled, with a LITTLE bit of swiss cheese mixed in, and then came the 3 pieces of bread!!! *SMACK* Ok, Ok, I will do better tomorrow, one day at a time!!
Ok, til next time! Love you guys!

Hey Everyone!!

Ok, I WILL be back officially on Monday. I did a weigh-in of sorts last week, and I had gained 6.7 pounds from the last time I had been on, which was about a month. So, not bad, but definitely should have been better! The reason I didn't get back on sooner, is, money has been a little tight and didn't have the money or the 'right' food. I was still trying, but not like I should have been! I am going to the grocery store tomorrow, it's about an hour away, (the prices are SO much cheaper than up here!) and will be back in full swing as of Monday. I am completely starting over, as in week 1 and so on.
Money is still tight, but we figured it out. Halloween morning, my husband and I were literally hit by a deer. She caused $2400.00 worth of damage and we have a $500.00 deductible!! But, we returned a washing machine we were supposed to pick up at Home Depot and had most of it from that! Thank God! We didn't want to return the washing machine, but, since I do have one that works right now, my car is definitely more important!
I hope you are all well, and pressing on! I will sit down and read your blogs very soon! My hours at Home Depot have been cut in half since I am a part-timer and I have more time! :)
Looking forward to reading about you all again! Take care, and until Monday!!

i Am StIlL aLiVe!

First of all, thanks SuperJay for asking where I've been! That was nice!

Second of all, I'm hiding! :) Well, sort of! After my gain, I was so humiliated, I didn't want to ever blog again! Then, I went on vacation and just got back on Tuesday.

I made a promise to myself NOT to get back on the scale until November 1st! I don't know what I weight right now, but I'm hoping by the time I get back on the scale, I will be a little lighter! Who knows, maybe it will all backfire on me!

I haven't had a chance to read what's been going on with all of you, and I'm so sorry, I hope you are all doing F-A-N-T-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!! I'm sure you are! I will try and write once a week, again, but no promises until my next weigh-in!

Take care everyone!!!

ARGH!

Well, it's my first gain! I refuse to put it on here because of the self-humiliation! It was my own damn fault! I didn't go over in points, I'm sure of it, but I still gained. So, I guess maybe I did! I don't know! Oh well, better luck this week, I guess!
I am n a wedding on Sunday and I know what we are eating and I think I'll just take the entire salad bowl back to my seat and eat that! :(
Well, I hope you are all doing well and having fun!

WOW!

No cheating this week and it paid off! I lost 5.5 lbs!!!! It was definitely a struggle, but Mike really helped me by NOT asking to go out to eat or suggesting he go grab a pizza! It was just as much a struggle for him, as it was for me. Keeping regular bread out of the house paid off in a big way!
Went to the doctor today and she was so excited! I've lost 22 lbs since I last saw her in March! I still have some work to do with my cholestrol, but I'm not fighting taking medicine anymore. Everything went down, which is almost good. My good cholestrol went down as well, and that's the bad part! I just raised my risk of heart attack from 4.70 to 5.31!! Not enough exercise! I told her I would go on the medicine this time as well as start working on my Gazelle. This is definitely a slow and painful journey! Next time I see her we will be discussing quitting smoking but she wants to get my cholestrol medicine going, first. She couldn't believe she said that, but she also knows how stressed out I am with one of my jobs and knew it wasn't the right time, yet.
Well, 19 more days and I'm going to visit my sister, again! My nephew and I are planning on going grocery shopping as soon as I get there to make sure I have some proper things to eat in the house, fantastic!!!! It will be a big help, I'm betting! :) She also has one of those Ab Lounger things and I'm going to use it while I'm there! I think there will be somewhere I can walk, but not positive as she has moved since my visit in May.
Well, I hope you are all pressing on and feeling fabulous!
