Mondays weigh in was 127lbs. Which just ticks me off, cause I was good all day yesterday.
I had some multi grain chips with my burrito stuff, some ham slices, a bowl of veggies plain with no dressing, a bowl of cereal, grapes. I know there are some more things, but not allot.
Exercise was 4miles on the treadmill last night.
No goals for today, just to live my life. I didn't get much done yesterday, like I wanted to and I couldn't find any skates. I might have to order some off of the internet. I just can't figure out if skate sizes are the same as shoes sizes. I don't know, I will have to do some research on them.
Will update again later....

Yea, I might have to break down and learn how to skate with those. I am going to do some searches first. Would love to have tennie shoe skates, like I had when I was young. That would be so cool....lol. I don't know if they make them like that anymore.
Anyway, thanks for the nice words. I am sure tomorrows weigh in will be better. I have really been trying to watch what I eat.

Tuesday- I walked 2 1/2 miles. last night- and worked in the gardens all morning sweating my butt off. A little bit of swimming in the afternoon. I also did a little bit of the weights on the elliptical- not enough to count.
Yesterdays eating was not good for me. I had some burrito stuff for lunch, then I pigged out in the afternoon and had some chips and frozen pizza, two slices. I had cereal in the morning and some turkey slices.
Goals for today- are not to be depressed. I hope the scale is better for me today. I know thats why I have been in a who cares mood. That plus lack of funds. Money always stresses me out. I hope to get through this month and then have some money again. Property tax time is always a stresser.
Also, started some new vitamins, not really vitamins, there a fiber supplement. In hopes it will help with my cholesterol. I don't know if it will, and I don't know if my body can handle all that fiber. I'll see how today goes, I might have to cut back on it some. I am only on the second day of taking them. I swear yesterday, I was in the bathroom all day. Plus, my stupid razor is not working, and that ticks me off also. Its funny how all the things in our lives that stresses us out, affects our weight and what we eat. Oh yea, did I tell you my ice maker has also not been working. I swear it is always something around here.
Anyway, I might take the ice maker out today and smash it with a hammer. That would at least make me feel better. The razor also, if the stupid thing don't work today. And hopefully the tax check will go through the bank today, so I can breath again. Then maybe things will get better around here.
Well, I will update again after weigh in ......
weigh in was 124lbs....yeah!! Maybe it will be a good day after all. 
Alright, today is going good. Got all my things done on my list. Which is great for me, I usually ignore my list. lol
Anyway, the razor worked this morning, I gave up on the ice maker for the day, and the tax check went through the bank. So, all is good!
I have been eating pretty good today. I had a bowl of cereal this morning, a couple of pieces of turkey, had some chicken feta. that I made as healthy as I could. I just snacked on it as I made it. Which usually ends up like a small portion or so. I had one small burrito of the healthy stuff I made. I even found some really good whole wheat, low cal tortilla shells to make them with. Thats about it, I think.
Anyway, already have in two miles from walking the kids to and from summer school.
So far, so good! Off to the pool.......
Will update later.......................

Wednesday- I walked 6 miles yesterday. I put on a bunch with the kids and then hit the treadmill, I didn't do anything else. Beside swim around with the little one at the pool.
So far today, I have ate some turkey slices, burrito stuff and a few chips, a few baked french fries. I am saving the rest of my calories for after the pool. Cause I am always starving after that. What is it about swimming that makes you hungry.
I haven't walked yet today, not sure when or how many miles I will do today. I am kind of trying to get some stuff done around the house for a change. I think I got the stupid ice maker to work. I don't know, the thing is retarded. So, I have no goals for today. I am just trying to be good, eating wise and do whatever needs done.
I am getting tired of exercising my brains out, so taking a break from it today. I am sure I will feel guilty later and do some sort of exercise.
Will update again later....

Lol!! You've got that right! I'm still struggling to get myself to use the hand weights I was so excited about buying, so I'm sure the ball will probably be the same way. It's never as fun as the pictures make it look...
Have fun swimming!

Well today should be a good day. I got the stupid ice maker to work yesterday, and I been really good the last few days. So hoping the scale is good to me this morning.
I didn't weigh yesterday, which was kind of nice. Maybe I will go back to my every other day thing. Then at least I will be only depressed half of the time, lol.
Ok, yesterday, I started out bad. I had a burrito thing right off in the morning with some chips  , but then I redeamed myself at lunch and only had a few baked french fries (not many at all). So, then after the pool I was starving. I had a granola thing that I made and have in the freezer. I also had some pretzel and cheese dip stuff. Could of went a little lighter on the cheese. But, I hadn't taken in very many calories yet for the day. Then I had a few more slices of turkey lunch meat stuff. So, all in all not a bad day.
Exercise was good. I worked out for about a half of hour doing misc. stuff. Then I hit the treadmill. I got 4 miles in on that plus another mile with the kids. So, not setting goals for exercise was a good thing.
Ok, going to turn up the pressure some today and set some goals. I really want to keep on track with my eating. So, I think I might have some fish today. Oh yea, been wondering and wanting to learn how to make maranare (or however its spelled) sauce, so going to try and find a recipe for that. I think I will make pancakes for the kids this morning, no worrys there, I am not a big pancake person.
I also would like to get my plants done today. I bought a new stand for them and it's been in the garage for two weeks or more. So, want to do that this morning. Also, have a few things to do in center this afternoon, so might not go swimming. Not sure yet. I don't care about the walking today. If I get in at least two miles I will be good to go. I really want to do more of the ball for my abs today.
well thats it for now, off to the dreaded scale....
Update: 126lbs today

I wasn't going to even come on here today. I am really depressed today and I am not having a good eating day of course. Funny, how depression does that to a person. So, I already had some eggs with onions turkey and green pepper with toast. Then for lunch I had turkey dogs with a wheat bun and weight watchers cheese and chili (made with turkey) on top, a piece of homemade pizza, oh yea, this morning really early I had a buttermilk biscuit.
Ok, so the plan for the rest of day is to be good. No more pigging out, cause it is not making me feel better, it's just making me fatter. I need to get outside and get in some exercise. I know it would make me feel better.
So, with that said, I need to get my butt moving and get out of the house.
Will update again later......

Awww, sorry to see you're having a bad day. Hope the exercise brings up your spirits a little - it usually does it for me. Don't beat yourself up too much about the food. If you had to have it at least enjoy that it tasted good and then get back on track. Boy, I would sure love to have a buttermilk biscuit too - I wouldn't be able to resist that if it was offered to me.

Ok, todays a new day, and all is well again. So, the goal is to go for a walk right away this morning. Then I would like to get in some other kind of exercise later today. I have got to be good on my eating after yesterdays disaster. I think I ate everything in the house and then some.
I really need to find a better way of dealing with things besides turning to food. Maybe I should start writing in my journal again. I tried that yesterday and it didn't work for me. Sometimes, nothing works. 
Anyway, will update again later....
I walked 3miles this morning, and before I left I weighed in at 124lb.....
I sure am going to hate on monday, when all those calories I took in yesterday will show up. Maybe, I am over reacting and it won't be so bad.

Yesterday I had a bowl of cereal, and a bowl of chili, and noodle stuff my daughter made for supper and I snacked on snapping beans all day.
All in all it was a good day. I walked three miles yesterday morning. Not sure what I will walk today. I would like to get a jump on the weeks walking- But, would like to do some other exercises also, since I didn't do anything besides walking yesterday.
Weigh in today was 124lbs. I hope I can pull that off for a few more days and have a good weigh in for the challenge.
Well thats it for now. Will update again later....

Well, I was right, what I ate on friday showed up on the scale this morning. 127lbs. I am hopeful that it will go back down tomorrow. Since I was good most of the weekend.
I didn't walk yesterday, so back on track today. I will have to get busy to get in all my miles. Oh yea, I had in 23 miles last week.
Will update again later...
Ok, so far today I have had a bowl of cereal, cheerios with ground flax seed and fat free milk, a few slice of turkey lunch meat, two Oreo cookies, and a healthy bowl of chili (meaning it's made with turkey, low fat cheese and wheat crackers). I am stuffed right now. So, I don't think the rest of the day will be a problem.
I did exercise about 25 minutes this morning. Hoping to do 4 miles on the treadmill tonight.
I also wouldn't mind doing some on the other machines before I start walking. I don't know, It just seems I always say that and never do it. So, going to try like crazy this week to just do it and not say it.

Yesterday wasn't to bad. I kind of blew it, at the end of the day. I made a lemon cake with blueberries, and oh my god. It was great, so I had a hard time staying out of it. I had four little pieces. About half squares. That was pretty much it for the rest of the day beside some raw snapping beans.
Exercise was 4 miles on the treadmill, I did regular exercises in the afternoon- about 25minutes worth. I also did about 10 mins or so on the elliptical.
So, not to bad. Hoping weigh in this morning will be back down. It was up yesterday. Keeping my fingers crossed and will update after my shower....
127lbs weigh in, just ticks me off. I have been really good lately, at least up untill last night.
I hate that fricking scale....

Looks like you're still doing good!
Mmm...lemon cake. I'm not a big sweets fan, but I pretty much like lemon anything. I don't think I would eat a raw lemon, though.

Yea, the only thing missing in it was the poppy seeds. I already had two pieces today. I think the kids will get some later to get rid of it. Otherwise I will finish it off.

Ok, the next few days are going to be busy here. So, I will try like crazy to keep this updated.
Yesterdays eating was good. I had cereal in the morning, with my usual flaxseed and fat free milk. Then I had some baked chicken in a soup sauce with peas and whole wheat toast. Then in the afternoon, I broke down and ate three pieces of the lemon blueberry cake. That stuff has got to go. So, guess what the kids are getting today, lol.
Exercise was over 4miles with the kids. To and from school twice and went to the park and pool. So, we got enough walking in. I didn't do any other exercise unless you count weeding the flower beds. I did finally get them all done and looking spiffy.
Weigh in this morning was 124lb. Go figure, two days of bad readings and then this. I just don't get why it fluctuates so much. But, that will keep my average at 125lbs. Which is good I guess.
Yesterday was so busy, I hardly had time to eat. So, hoping for the same today.
I want to get in my 4miles and then do some sort of other exercise tonight. Now, that I am caught up on things I should have time.
Wed- So far I have had some of that stupid lemon cake, I didn't get my cereal, to busy. So, I had spaghetti and some corn for lunch.
I have already put on 4 miles with the kids- told ya, busy day.
will update more later

Ok, yesterday, did not go so well the rest of the day. I had allot of time on my hands later. So I worked out for about a half hour. Then I made some supper for my husband and son. I could not stay out of it. I baked some turkey migon and some burgers in the oven. Needless to say, I ate a turkey thing- almost three hundred calories right there and then I had half a burger. Plus, more of that stupid cake. Then later I went and did some weight stuff on the elliptical.
So, it was a good day for exercise and a bad day for eating. Wed and thurs are my toughes days. I am feeling pretty good about myself lately, so I think today will be better. I really hate those extra exercises, but they are paying off. I am losing inches and my stomach looks much better. I have only been doing them a couple of days a week. I would like to do more, but its' hard to cram in more things in a day. My house is such a mess right now, that I can hardly stand it.
I am all over the place in my thoughts this morning. So, goals for the day, to walk with the kids again. Try to get some things done around here. My daughter is moving out this weekend and my parent are coming up. So, I need to get some stuff done before that all happens. There's so much going on. My other daughter is off with her boyfriend to his sisters wedding. I really can't wait for school to start, so I get some sanity back in my life.
Don't know if I will weigh in this morning or not. I am really ticked off at the huge swings, and don't feel like letting it control me today. I just want it to be a happy day. So, with that said, screw the scale.
Will update again later....

ok, lets see, yesterday, I had a big bowl of cereal, then I had some turkey ham, for lunch it was spaghetti (made with turkey) and baked french fries. I had about three pieces of that stupid cake. Hopefully the kids will finish that off today. Then I had some carrots and more turkey ham. I think that it. I probably snacked on some other stuff, but can't think of anything right now.
Exercise for yesterday was 3 1/2 miles, 1/2 hour of regular exercises, then I went for a short bike ride. It was a good day for exercise, even though I really wanted to get the rest of my miles in for the week. Oh well, I only need 4 1/2 miles. I can do that easy today.
Weigh in was 124lb yesterday, so my average is still at 125lbs. I am hoping to have a good weigh in this morning.
Goals for the day, to have a nice day, clean the bathroom, get my bird feeders hung out, just general pick up, clean up. I also, want mac and cheese with tuna for lunch today. Yeah, my fav. can't wait.
ps: We might have some friends from where we use to live stopping by. I can't wait for them to see me at my new weight. I love when that happens, it makes it all worth it.
update- weigh in was 125lb this morning. Not surprising since I have not been so good with the cake in the house and all.
New goal for today- veggies, I noticed I have not been eating them. So, going to try real hard to get in more veggies.

Thanks for dropping by my thread and good luck to your weight loss. how much are you looking to lose? you seem to be close to your ideal weight already! Fantastic!

Just want to be at 120lbs and hold it there. Right now, I am bouncing all over the place. Two days ago, I weighed 127 (for two days) then for two days I was 124lbs. So, I haven't been able to keep it down and hold it there yet. But, I will get there sooner or later.
I am also, trying really hard to work on my ab section. Get rid of the flab and the gut. So, that is my goal I guess. Is to spiffy up some after weight loss.

ok, had to come on and do a update for today, before I blow it completely. I started out having some of that dam cake again. God, it is just so good. Thank goodness I cut small pieces. So, I think I am eating more than I am and quit after two. Which in reality is like having one normal size.
So, then I started to have a bowl of cereal and realized it just wasn't doing it for me. So, I tried to eat as much as I could. Then I threw the rest out.
For lunch I pigged. I had a decent size of mac and cheese with a can of tuna on it, green beans, and some more of the cake. I will never make that kind of cake again.
Then this afternoon, I started to eat some more of the leftover bake french fries and got mad at myself and threw them away. Yeah, for me... didn't need those calories.
I did walk this morning a little over 3miles. I would like to get in at least another 1 1/2miles today. That will put me at my 20 miles for the week. I might walk tomorrow if I have time. It depends, busy weekend planned.
Also, the friends did stop by and nothing was said about my weight. But, that's ok, we still had a good time and it's not all about me anyway. I just wanted someone that hasn't seen me in a year say something. But, oh well, I am being really vain I think, so I will just shut up now.
I just needed to write down what I have ate, so I can do better. I really want to be done with this and get the rest of the weight off. So, focus, focus, focus!
Update- Ok, I did much better the rest of the day. (wonder why, the cake is gone, lol). Anyway, I ended up with a little over 5miles for the day. So, yeah!!!! I think that puts me at 20 1/2 miles for this week. Not to bad considering the extra workout sessions I had.

Sometimes if I think a friend has lost some weight, I am hesitant to say anything. I don't want them to think that I noticed or that it mattered before that they were heavier. Which I guess is unrealistic... and I try to convince myself that they would LOVE to hear when their loss is noticed. But it just feels like risky territory to me.
Of course I am thinking of one friend in particular who is SUPER sensitive. So maybe it's just my own thing.
Keep fightin' the good fight!!

Sat.
Let's see eating wasn't the greatest today, and I will have to work hard today not for it to show on the scales. I ate for breakfast- whole wheat toast, fried turkey slices, and eggs with my special butter. Then I had some veggies in the afternoon, 1/2 cucumber, three tomatoes, and some snapping beans. Then later that night we went to a buffet place and I had two pieces of chicken, roll, potatoes with gravy, taco salad, potato wedge, ice cream and a brownie. I hate those places, I always eat to much. But, all in all not a terrible day and I don't do that all the time. So, I not upset with myself, I just have to be good today to make up for it.
Didn't exercise or do a weigh in. Yesterday, was my day off and it was nice not to worry about dieting for a change. Got the daughter moved out and visited with my parents. It was all good. I still would like to help her out some. So, I thought I would pick some stuff up for her here and there. We never did make it to the grocery store for her. So, alls she has is some cereal, cookies, and beer at her place. Poor thing, I hope they get some food today. It's so weird not having her here.
So goals for today, to go walking right off the bat. Then I need to work on my daughters room and get it cleaned out for my son to move in it. So, I will get plenty of exercise today doing that. Also, would like to get started on painting in there. If my son helps we should be able to get it all done.
Ok, will update later...

Sunday- I walked 4 miles this morning
I had a bowl of cereal, one piece of turkey lunch meat, two wheat saltines, two bites of cake. (no, it's a different cake, and not at all that good). So, I shouldn't have two many problems staying out of it.
Weigh in this morning was 123lbs. I haven't seen that in awhile, so I am very pleased and encouraged to do better. I know it will be up again tomorrow from my eating yesterday.
Will update again later
The rest of the day didn't go so well. I had some pot roast. More than I should have had. But, I really couldn't stay out of it. I haven't had pot roast in over a year or more. So, that wasn't the best. Otherwise I did ok for eating. I did have a few bites of this chicken casserole that I made for the family last night.
Goals for Monday- to get in some sort of exercise, finish the room upstairs, and to be good as far as eating. Shouldn't be to hard, I have no food in the house until I get to the store.
Not sure if I am weigh in this morning or not. I may wait untill tomorrow.
will update again later...

Monday-
I decided to weigh in after all. So, the offical weigh in was 123lbs. Yeah!!!
God, I hope it don't go back up, after the weekend. I wasn't terrible, but wasn't as good as I could of been.
So, same goals- get stuff done, exercise and not eat like a pig.
Update- I had a bowl of cereal in the morning, then for lunch I had some mac and cheese with tuna, two ear of corn, then I snacked on some ham slices, chips, this raspberry stuff, and a few pieces of pork roast. I wasn't the best last night. I think cause I didn't eat much for lunch. My food choices yesterday sucked, but we didn't have much in the house. Going to walmart today and get some diet foods. So, that should help. Also, I have a whole pile of fish in the freezer and I haven't been eating much lately. So, need to get busy on that.
exercise- walked 2 1/2 miles with the kids and did a 1 1/2 miles on the treadmill.
Not looking forward to the scale this morning. I know it's not going to be good.
Goals for today, keep my snacking under control, drink green tea, eat fish.

Yea, it is great. To bad I probably won't keep it there. I can go up and down in one stinking day.
But, thanks for the words of encouragment. It helps me to stay focused.

Ok, update
Not sure where I left off.
Tuesday,
Exercise so far is 2 1/2 miles with the kids, and I will probably do the rest on the treadmill tonight. So, I should have a total of 4miles for the day. Currently I am trying to talk myself into other exercises. I really want to stick with them, cause I think they are helping. I would like to measure myself, but haven't figured out how to do that and not get a different reading every time. I am sure I am losing inches off of my waist.
Food for the day- This is going to be hard cause I have just been snacking all day. I had a small bowl of lucky charms, grapes, diet chips, ham slices, turkey slice, chili with crackers, a couple bits of the raspberry stuff I made, and some mixed nuts.
Holly #%@&!!  I better quit for the day.
Also, I got another one of those stupid comments today about me being to skinny. Geezzz, I hate that. I told her, that I would have to be less than 109lbs to be to skinny. That didn't seem to faze her. I had on some of my skinny pants, that looked tight, but aren't really. You know, those stretchy kind. Anyway, I just hate that. Do, people really think that I could lose to much weight, with all the food issues that I have. Come on! I love food, I can't quit eating sometimes. How could I ever starve myself. geeezzzz.... I do have to say that she said well as long as your eating good and healthy. Well!!! Duh!!! Sorry, I shouldn't carry on about this, it just gets my goat. I know she meant well, but I know what I should be at and it's my health, not anyone elses. If anything, I could stand to lose 5lbs and quit smoking, and then I would be in great shape. Oh they can tell me that I am to skinny, but no one ever says, hey those cigarettes your smoking are going to kill you. I guess, it's just frustrating for me when I don't have a problem with something that people want to give advise, but stay away from the real issues that I have.
ok, so I guess what I am saying, is that I don't want other peoples opinions on my weight or anything else for that matter. If they can't just say hey you look good, then they can go away and leave me alone.
There! How is that for being pissy.
Well, I will leave it at that and go exercise.....update again, later.....

Ok, today is really sucking so far. I did get my four miles in last night but that was it. Then this morning, I pigged out and kept doing it all morning. I don't know why I do that. So, my good trend is over and now I will go back up in weight. agghhh!!! I will of course try to do some damage control by walking tonight. But, I am afraid that won't be enough.
Maybe, it's because I didn't write this morning and I haven't been eating my cheerios lately either. I need a good kick in the butt about now.
I had every intention on swimming this afternoon, got there and burrrrr... I just couldn't get in. So, I just layed around and got some sun. So, now I go to hit the treadmill, lets hope that helps some...
The day can't get much worse....

Ok, well yesterday didn't get much better. It was a good day for exercise, though. I got in 5 1/2 miles. I walked on the treadmill for 4 miles and got in a mile and a half with the kids. I also, spent at least three hours scrapping wall paper off of my daughters walls. I think whoever invented wall paper should be shot.
I didn't eat like crazy the rest of the day. So, lets see, I had a bowl of cereal, two slices of toast, grapes, a pizza thing, some turkey slices, nuts, crackers. So, the eating yesterday really sucked. Everytime I turned around I was putting something in my mouth.
weigh in yesterday really sucked. I was 128lbs. I think alot of that is water. I will find out today. I know some of it had to be water, cause my feet were swollen when I got up yesterday. Not sure it will be much better today, cause I had swollen feet this morning also. So, who knows what weigh in will be like. I just don't understand why I am holding water. It's got to be something I am eating. Maybe it's salt. Cause, I do take in allot of sodium.
Goals for today are to remain happy, and not stress out and eat to much. Going to work on my daughters room some more and walk this morning.
Anyway, will update later....

Hey C - you're doing great with the exercise! I can see gaining weight with exercise - I think I get swollen from intense workouts too.
At this point, I don't think you should be looking at the scale much anymore, because you're pretty close to your ideal weight. Since you're trying to tone more than lose weight, how about switching to body fat calipers? That way you can better gauge fat loss vs. muscle gain. I've been looking into getting one myself.
BTW, I've seen you're before and after pictures and I am soooo impressed! Awesome job!

Thanks for the kind words!
I am starting to feel better, today. I know I am always up on wed/thurs (cause they are my bad days, due to mid week, being tired and all). So, I don't know why I am so stressed out about it.
I do have a fat thing on my scale, but I have no clue how to use it. Maybe, I will call my daughter and ask her. She's the only one in the house that has used it.
I am thinking that I am not going to weigh myself again, until Monday. See if I can make it that far. I use to go weeks without weighing myself. But, when I decided to get down to 120lbs, I started weighing again, everyday. It really does play mind tricks on me. So, I should lay off of it for awhile.
As far as gaining muscle, I am not sure if I am or not. I only do extra exercises besides my walking about two or three times a week. This week I have not done any, just to dam busy. But, I do know that I have lost a few inches in my gut, cause of the way my shorts fit and there getting bigger on me. So, I must be doing something right.
I am kind of baffled about the water weight. I suppose it could be from exercise, although I have never done that before. I really think it's something in my diet lately. Maybe, its all the caffeine I drink. I live on tea, and diet soda. So, maybe drinking more water instead would help. I usually drink water when I am walking, but lately I have been chugging the tea.
Geeezzz,,,, I am writing a book here. Sorry to ramble on.....
update again later.....

Thursday-
Foods- cheerios, fat free milk
casadea with peperoni, sauce and cheese
Grapes
whale crackers
Not to bad, although I still feel bloated. Probably from pigging out yesterday. Maybe my walk this afternoon with help with that. I only have two and half miles left for the week. So, I am going to try and get some extra sleep tonight or take a nap after work is done. I have got to get some zzzzzzzz before I go into depression. I really want to go see my daughter also. God, I miss her...... She's only been gone since last sat. She has called me everyday .
Anyway, got to go walk....update again later.....
Ok, well I didn't get the whole 2 1/2 miles in, it was close, but I still need a half mile to get my 20 for the week. I am not going to worry about it, cause I know I will get some walking in with the kids in the morning. So, as soon as my husband gets home we are going to go visit my daughter....can't wait..... and then get some real zzzzz... Life is looking so much better now...
oh yea, forgot to add, that I didn't cave in and have ice cream this afternoon, I made myself eat some carrots and cucumbers with low cal dressing instead. So, I was very proud of myself. I am craving chocolate something horrible these days. Maybe if I am good tomorrow morning I will let myself have a frozen snickers at the pool.

Friday-
Well, yesterday went to #%@&! as far as eating. We went to see my daughter, and that was great. But, we took her to eat at culvers and I ate a meal. Didn't need that. I spent the rest of the night feeling bloated and sick. So, that wasn't good.
But, on a good note. I got lots of good sleep last night and seen my daughter, so all is well again today. I only need a half mile for today. So, the plan is to go for a walk this afternoon. Going to try and get in at least a mile. Then tonight autumn fest. starts, so will probably go dancing with the hubby. It should be fun.
Also, would like to get in some other exercises this weekend, and get my sons/daughter's room done. I almost have all the wallpaper off. So, I will be painting hopefully on sat.
Will update again later....
I know I said I wouldn't weigh again until monday, but I couldn't stand it and had to know this morning what is was..... well, back down to 124lbs.
So, its got to be the exercise or water or something. I know that its normal for me to do that, but it is still frustrating.
Update- Lets see, I must still be full from last night, cause I am not even hungry today. I had a bowl of cereal, cheerios and flaxseed with non fat milk, then I had some baked french frys for lunch, and now I am snacking on some wheat thins. I did walk this morning a little bit and then again this afternoon. I got in 1.85 miles. So, I will claim 1 1/2 for the day. that puts me at 20 1/2 miles for the week. I don't know if I will walk tomorrow or not. I want to get the stupid room done and painted. So, going to relax here for a bit then get cleaned up to go out....yea....can't wait should be fun.....
Hope everyone has a great weekend....

Sat- It was a good day for eating. I had lots of veggies. Lets see broccoli, carrots, cucumbers, green beans, grilled chicken, half of a burger, potatoes.
No exercise, unless you count the countless hours spent washing wallpaper off of walls.
weigh in was 124lbs. and that was after most of the day was over, I didn't weigh until I took a shower later in the day.
So, all in all, not a bad day.
Goals for today are to not pig out all day. I already had a burger and potatoes. Slept through breakfast. But, I still might have a bowl cereal later. I would like to get in some walking today. Just not sure when, busy day planned.
Will update again later..........

Sunday, didn't get much better. I ate all day. Lets see, I had a half of chicken breast, a cheese burger, some snapping beans, potatoes, diet chips, a pop cycle, mixed nuts, a couple pieces of turkey, popcorn. I think that was it.
I didn't eat allot on sat. so I think that is why I ate so much yesterday. Need to get back on track today. So, the plan is to eat my cereal and go from there.
I did walk 4miles on the treadmill last night. I still think I get a better workout on the treadmill vs walking outside. I was sweating my booty off last night. I never even break a sweat when walking outside.
Haven't weighed in yet. Will update after I do. Not looking forward to it, after the weekend of eating.
Update: weigh in was 125lbs. Not bad considering, so, need to stay on track today.

Monday- today has been ok, I haven't done to bad on the eating.
Lets see, I had a huge bowl of cereal, three slice of ham lunch meat, a couple bites of pork roast, mac and cheese and tuna, plus a few diet chips, and some mixed nuts. I am forcing myself to drink more water and less tea. What a challenge that is.
I have already walked over three miles today. I will probably do another mile on the treadmill tonight.
I should do some exercises right now, but it's so fricking hot.
So far so good...... will update later

Tuesday- Already had a bowl of cheerios with fat free milk. I wanted another bowl, but ran out of milk.
I finish out my four miles on the treadmill and did a few reps on the ellipitcal. So, it was an ok day for exercise.
Weigh in this morning was 124lbs. So, that drops my average back down again. Which is nice to see after having some losy weigh ins last week.
Feeling pretty good today about getting some stuff done. I think cause I slept well last night. Found my fan, so our room wasn't hot like it usually is.
Not setting any goals for today, just doing..... will update again later..... Last edited on 19 August 2008 02:43 pm by cportwine

Well, yesterday might as be consider a cheat day. Cause it wasn't good. It was my father in laws birthday. So, we had them over for supper. I useally don't eat supper. But, I had chicken, tator tots, fresh veggies, cake, rice. That wasn't so bad, but before that. I made some baked stuffed green peppers, I had two of those and of course making stuff, was snacking the whole time.
Exercise yesterday was something also. I only got in a mile with the kids. Then hit the treadmill after supper. Thought it was going to kill me. After the first mile and a half, I was sweating and hating life. Then by time I got to the end, I think I could of kept going. So, that was weird. But, I got in 5miles for the day.
So, the goal today is to veg out and relax. I need to get some stuff done here today, hopefully get some walking in this afternoon. I don't plan to eat much at all today. Got to make up for yesterday. Oh yea, the hard part of the week is here, so I need to get some sleep tonight. Something more than four hours, otherwise, I will start to get depressed. Also, not planning on weighing in anytime soon. So, maybe over the weekend or something.
Will update again later....
Ok, so far today is going good. I just got to remember that I can't eat all of that cake. So, I had a few tator tots, a couple of bites of rice, diet chips, and a piece of cake.
Plan on walking tonight, no time today, with apts. and what not.
Will update again later.....

Yesterday I lost it at the end of the day. I ate three pieces of pizza and a half of chicken breast. I walked a mile with the kids and did three miles on the treadmill. I had a heck of a time on the treadmill again. I really don't get why it is whooping my butt these days.
Anyway, not looking forward to the scale this morning. I know the other nights eating will be showing up soon. Even though I wasn't totally horrible yesterday, I sure didn't do any damage control for the night before. So, looks like the scales will not be pretty for the next day or so.
Goals for today are to get my #%@&! done and walk outside, since the treadmill is not my friend these days. Oh yea, I need to eat my cereal today. It seems when I skip the cereal then I loss it through the day and pig out on something I shouldn't. So, it will be cheerios this morning.
Will update after weigh in this morning....

Ok, I had a bowl of cereal, some almonds, two pieces of turkey, on piece of cake, two stuffed green peppers, fresh cut veggies w/light dressing, 100 cal ice cream, I am sure there was more. But, thats all I remember for now.
weigh in was 126lbs. Not to bad
exercise was 4 miles on the treadmill. The treadmill is my friend again. Thank god, I couldn't walk outside cause it was raining. Still mad at myself for not doing any other exercises this week. But, at least I got in 21 miles for the week.
will update again later....
Weigh in this morning was 127lbs. Not to surprising. I had some bad eating days and not any extra exercise this week. Ok, so now I need to buckle down and get it back down in normal range for monday. This is what I hate the most. I am still just maintaining instead of losing the last little bit. It's so discouraging. Maybe I am just not ment to be any lighter than what I am right now. Although, I can remember when I first hit the 127lbs mark awhile back, and thought wow, I haven't been that light in years. So, I guess I shouldn't get down on myself.
On a personal note- I hate my job sometimes. I missed the first kids this morning cause she didn't tell me she was coming early. No doubt she will tell me its my fault. But, I know she didn't tell me..... Ticks me off. I will have to kiss #%@&! and take the blame, anyway. She can't understand why I don't hear them come in. Duh! I can't hear out of one ear and I slept like a rock. My son was sleeping in the livingroom, why didn't she have him come and get me. It's all so stupid. I really should look into doing something else for a living or get rid of that family. It's always something with them.

Thanks for stopping by my page. MD's can be pretty quick to throw pills at us for ailments, so bravo to you! I don't think it's neccessarily that they think it's the best solution, but certainly the easiest. You tell someone the only way to lower their cholesterol is to change their diet, lifestyle, and lose weight, they're likely not to follow. But take a pill once a day, is totally do-able. In fact I read a study recently soley based around cholesterol medication that supported the idea that taking pills for cholesterol (focusing on the issue of high cholesterol specifically) wouldn't increase your life span, verses just not taking pills at all and letting it run amuck. But think of the added years of taking care of high cholsterol naturally!!
Happy Weekend!

Well, yesterday wasn't to bad. I had cereal, some turkey slices, diet chips, popcorn, I had a pizza thing made with turkey slices, cheese and whole wheat tortilla with sauce. Then we had a company picnic last night, so I had corn on the cob, half a chicken breast, baked beans. Not to bad, I was trying to figure out a way to get out of eating the steak, since I have my cholesterol test next week. Thank god, they had chicken there or I wouldn't of been eating much. So between the food and beer last night, I probably over did my calories some. But, not so bad.
We have another fund raiser thing to go to later today, I hope I can behave and not eat like a pig. I think they are serving chicken, so that should be ok.
Didn't exercise yesterday cause its my day off. I wouldn't mind doing some today, but don't know if I will have time or not. I will start of again on sunday morning and get 4miles in.
will update again later.....
Weigh in this morning was 124lbs. Boy, sure glad I weighed in. I wasn't going to, but did anyway.
This is great, it will give me what I need to be good for the day.

Well, it was a long weekend filled with all kinds of good food. I didn't do to bad, but I kind of lost it on Sunday. I ate way to much chicken and had extra chips and ice cream at the car show. So, not looking forward to weigh in this morning. I did have a good workout last night. I walked a mile at the car show(ran to gas station to get diet pop, cause non of the vendors were selling any). Then hit the treadmill last night and got in 4miles. So that gives me a good start for the week.
I also, thought this week, I might go to the track and try some running. I kind of jogged some when I went the gas station and it wasn't to bad. So, I might have to give that a try.
Anyway, will update after the dreaded weigh in....
127lbs- I knew it would be bad

You know you seem to hover between 124 and 127 but lately you've spent more time at the 124 end of that range so you are doing well. The blips up are less frequent right....so just keep at it you are doing great.

Thanks!I will try. It just seems like maintaining to me. But, that's ok also. Just as long as I never gain it all back, I am good.
Beside, I knew when I ate the chicken, and kept eating the chicken, lol, that I would have a gain today. The important part is to get it back off.
