Disappointment
Today I went to weigh in fully expecting to hit my 50 pound weight loss mark - but I didn't. I had even brought before pictures. Especially because it wasn't my regularly scheduled meeting and no one there knew me or how far I'd come.
I was really shocked when I saw the number: TWO POUNDS UP!!! Me?!?!? You've got to be kidding! I've done so ( Read more... ) -
1 Pound Away from 50 Mark!
I lost 2.6 pounds this week. I don't know HOW I did that with going out of town for 2 conferences last weekend and everything. But I'll take it. This puts me at 49 pounds lost - so close to my 50 pound goal. What sucks though, is that I'll most likely lose that last pound this week and I can't make my usual meeting with my husband and meeting ( Read more... ) -
Someone Hit Me with the Ugly Stick
Well, my Hubby got a new camera last night - an early X-Mas present that he will be using to take Thanksgiving pictures today. We were testing it out last night - I was sitting on the couch studying in one of my new pink sweaters (that I thought looked GOOD on me). OMG - I looked absolutely HORRIBLE in all three pictures he took. Yes, my hair ( Read more... ) -
In Portland for Two Cons
Hi all!
I've been in Portland for some cons (one conference and one convention) - and been finding it very hard to stay on track but I've been doing OK so far. Today is going to be a challenge, though - we're going to an Ethiopian place (I love African food) and I have NO idea how to calculate the points for Ethiopian food. Anyone have any ideas?

I Got my Star!
OMG - Totally out of the blue I got my 45 pound star tonight! I lost 5.4 pounds this week. It was totally unexpected. I veered off-plan a bit (but I totally tracked EVERY MORSEL in eTools) and still lost the weight. Unbelievable. I'm so happy! I'm so close to my 50lb. goal I can smell it! It's only 4 pounds away now. . . I'm going to get ( Read more... ) -
Before Pix
My mother finally released all of the digital pictures from my wedding (back in September of 2007), so I can finally share what I wanted as my official "Before" picture for my weight loss journey:

Ex-boyfriend Woes
Well I DID pass my test to become an Allstate agent! YAY! But now the next step is working in my ex's office. Ugh. I'll be there Wed/Thur. We have had unresolved stuff for YEARS now. Including me needing to apologize to him. I wanted to try to get stuff off my chest while speaking with him today (but to be honest, I was totally chickening ( Read more... ) -
Weigh In
I'm down another 1.2 pounds! YAY! I'd rather it would be closer to 2, but I'll take it. Coming off of a 6 pound loss the previous week, 1.2 is pretty good. The coolest thing is that my ticker has finally moved far enough to the right (towards goal) that you can now see my staring BMI and weight clearly. YAY! (I'll take any NSV ( Read more... )
