** 117 TOTAL POUNDS LOST **

WEEK 13 - WEIGH IN

3 pounds lost !!!

On to another week !

WEEK 12 - WEIGH IN

I have this friend who is allergic to chocolate and once every couple of years, she decides to eat something chocolate anyway to see if she is still allergic. I guess it is kinda like testing the boundries. I think that is what I did this week and it was bound to happen. So, when I weighed in this morning :

0 pounds lost !!

I didn't lose and I didn't gain....but I can look back on the week and see that I was testing the boundries. I ate more bread - it was the whole grain wheat kind - but still. I had a few mixed nuts while we were camping and had bacon and eggs yesterday morning too. Changing the way you eat and how you eat so that you are healthier is something you have to do forever and it has to become the routine, not boundires to be tested.

So, I am paying more attention to the menu this week, watching snacks and no bread. So, I will look forward to a more productive week this week.

WEEK 11 - WEIGH IN

So we have upped our walk now and we are at a mile a day in the mornings. We are walking at least 5 days a week, sometimes 6. We recently had Turkey Meatloaf - pretty good and gives Joey a cooking break. We have now deemed Tuesday nights - FREE FOR ALL night because mom and I have Bingo at 7p and it is too hard to coordinate a meal after 6p and still get us there - so we eat soup, sandwiches or leftovers - something quick. Dad and Joey sometimes go out to eat while we are at Bingo.

Anyway, another good week :

4 pounds !!!

Another update next week.

WEEK 10 - WEIGH IN

Another week gone by and ...

3 pounds lost !!!
