And....we're down.

So, I did it. I achieved ONE minor goal. I am down around 3 lbs...Goodie gum drops, errrrr Fiber Bars. I forgot to weigh this AM, but will do it tomorrow AM. But when I weighed on Saturday, I was down 3ish! I am drinking more water, eating smaller lunches, and trying to stay away from the sweets. Hard for me, but doable. I need to loose 7 more by Feb 15...I think I can....

Today, I realized that I hadn't had my "checkup" with the girlie doctor, so I gave them a ring and of course got right in. Tomorrow during lunch....A little sucky because I am not to the weight I want to be (and she'll be very upset with me about this)....Plus, I have to figure out what the lightest weight thing in my closet is and wear that tomorrow. Oh yeah, and I have to shave my legs. Why is it that we prep MORE to see our doctor, than we do to go on a date with our husband? Seriously.

In Luke news, we are all over the place. The latest- more teeth. He is sprouting teeth like crazy- yesterday we saw 2 more that are about to start breaking through. Poor little dude. He was introduced to lunch meat turkey (yum) and is doing better with his "thickened" food. I am trying more finger foods for him, as he is giving me the signs, but still refuses to eat them- he wants to smash them into his tray or hair. Oh fun!

Don't want to talk about it....

The scale LIED to me this morning and I am mad at him. (Yes, the scale is a "he". If he were a "she", she would tell me what I am beautiful and skinny and weight 130 pounds.) Anyway. I got on the scale this morning and I did not like what I saw. I didn't eat terrible this weekend or last week, in fact I made a great dinner last week, took a LONG walk yesterday, and even made a Weight Watchers meal last night....What gives? I brought my lunch to work with me today and am drinking water like a mad woman. Seriously. If I keep on going in the direction I am going, I will need to get my mouth stapled (and/or tummy) stapled shut. Hmpf.

Monday Weigh In

I am only up .4 lbs, so that is not AS bad as I thought....But def not going in the right direction. Today is the day. I've set a date to loose the first 10 lbs....Feb 15th (I am hoping this happens sooner, rather than by the 15th). I need to loose some serious fat and quick. Argh.

Week 1, Recap

The week started off ok...not great, but ok. I found myself drinking more water during the day and not being as hungry. I also TRIED to eat my fiber bar every morning, but missed a couple, one of those being the morning my brother left to head across the big pond and my sweet mama brought me a yummy glazed donut with sprinkles. It was delish. This weekend I did not get to sweat with Jenny, but soon friends, soon. I am thinking Tuesday while Luke is napping. Today while at the g-store, I made some good food decisions and I am hoping this week to be down at least 1 pound...BUT, I am thinking that since I ate almost my weight in gummy worms this might not happen. Hey- at least I am telling the truth!! Tomorrow is a fresh day, full of water, fiber bar, fat free cottage cheese and a lean pocket. No more sugar, no more gummy worms (mainly because they are gone), and no more soda. Even if it is diet...

Tomorrow AM is the big weigh in. Bless me.

PS- I watched the 1st episode of The Bachelor this afternoon, while I should have been working out with Jenny...I digress. This is going to be the most LAME season yet. More lame that Canadian Jillian's season and possibly more lame than that crazy from Georgia who "fell in love" with Jesse the snowboarder. Gag me.

Quick Check In

This weekend, I was all about getting the house organized and semi cleaned with my house guests still in tow. I don't want them to feel like they HAVE to keep their stuff picked up/clean/etc, as they are on "vacation." Anyway, that made me feel a little better about not working out with Jenny...I am planning on doing this tomorrow morning. Anyway, today's stats:

Breakfast: Fiber bar and a tall glass of ice water

So far, so food. I mean, good. Tonight, I am going on a double date (to Bob's) and I need to save my calories. Lunch is looking like a nice salad....

I might say that week 1 just MIGHT be a success.....

Thin in Ten

Dear Reader(s),
Happy New Year! I hope you all had the most amazing New Year's Eve, ever. Drinking, laughing with friends, all dolled up. Me? What did I do? Oh, I hung out at home in my new sweat pants and played Wii with Abe. Fun? Yes. Did I whip up on his a**? Oh yeah. Am I sore today? Um, yes. Ow. Even as a type this letter to you, dear friend, I am sore. My right arm/wrist/hand hurts from the death grip I had on that Wii handle thingy. My arm hurts from sword fighting, shooting bows and arrows and golfing with Abe. On the Wii. Not in real life...on the damn Wii. This year, I am determined to loose weight and I am hoping (praying to Baby Jesus, in fact), that I can achieve this goal. I got the new Jenny McCarthy Wii game for Christmas. How is it, you ask? No clue. It's still in the box, all wrapped up- looking ever so lonely in the tv cabinet. Why? Because the other Wii game that I got, the one where I got to whip up on some butt last night (Wii Resort) is way too entertaining and I fear the Jenny M game is going to be a little too mellow for me. I need some competition. Anyone with me on loosing weight in '10? If so, let me know how you plan on doing this and maybe we could have a virtual weigh in each week to see how many lbs we've lost. I think I shall call this, "Biggest Looser- Blog Style." I might be onto something here peeps. It will keep me motivated and in my competition mode. Be on the look out for an update here in a week-ish.

Let's get thin in '10.
