** 117 TOTAL POUNDS LOST **

WEEK 19 - WEIGH IN

I was surprised at the low number I had this week, I think I lost more but just had a off weigh-in day.

1 pound lost !!!

WEEK 18 - WEIGH IN

Well, we're still not walking - I think I am going to have to start going on my own - it is just too cold in the mornings for dad to walk and as a result I am getting out of the habit....ugh. In any case, it didn't seem to hurt me too much this week.....

5 pounds lost !!!

Yay ! I've almost lost a Mason.

WEEK 17 - WEIGH IN

Ugh...even worse walking this week....but we did go to Disney World and of course, walked there. A loss but not my best week.....

2 pounds lost !!!

WEEK 16 - WEIGH IN

We were a little light on our walking this week - only 4 days instead of the usual 5-6. But, in line with my continuous loss record I still had an acceptable week :

3 pounds lost !!!

WEEK 15 - WEIGH IN

Nothing exciting going on this week :

3 pounds lost !!!

WEEK 14 - WEIGH IN

CRAZY. That is what I think of this week. I don't really think I did anything that diffferent this week and I went out to eat more than I normally do, although I did try to be good each time. I guess I can't complain as I continue to be baffled at this week's weight loss :

7 pounds !!!

Crazy.

WEEK 13 - WEIGH IN

Got myself back on track this week - paying attention to snacks and portions.....

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 !!!
