keepin my fingers crossed!
Okay so tomorrow is my official “weigh in” day………because I do Weight Watchers on my own I weigh myself in..lol……but this morning…..I was down 1.5 lbs from last week……..152! Praying that this stays the same tomorrow!!! That would bring my weight loss to a whoppin 78lbs!
Today was extremely difficult at work…….Once a month we have ‘Pizza Day’ for the kids and order in pizza from a local pizza parlour……..Of course I couldn’t resist and cut a small forkful off of a slice…..it was like a miniature slice..lol…Also another child brought in a humongous cake made of all these little cupcakes………SO HARD!!!!!!!!!! I cut off a spoonful……..So i’m not happy that I gave into these temptations however I am happy that I only allowed myself that forkful/spoonful.
I am in the process of getting contact lenses (for the first time ever!) and had to go back to get a recheck tonight to see how I’m doing with the trials…….honestly I don’t know if i can use them because they’re driving me nuts……Whenever I go shopping or anywhere that’s air conditioned and with florescent lights they feel soooooooo dry and irritated. Anyways I left work and walked 30 minutes to my appt and I had to literally climb this really steep hill to get there…..I was amazed that when i reached the top I wasn’t out of breath (like i knew i would have been before!)..I was breathing deeply but not out of control…..I was so amazeddddddddd! So glad that I decided to walk because the weather has been so crappy here lately that I’m not getting much walking done at all.
I am trying to figure out how to post before/after pictures of myself but for some reason I can’t get them to post……If anyone can help please do !!!!
Wish me luck folks! Hope you are all havin a great week!!

p.s. I wore my new size 8 jeans to work today and had 4 people tell me how great I looked in them..( they’re used to seeing me wear my older now baggier clothes hahahaha) …Felt like 100 bucks! lmao
To post the picture… at the bottom of the new post it’ll say Upload. Upload your picture. You’ll see a new tab that says browse. Click it and your picture should be there. Click the picture and where it says Show click on thumbnail and where is says link to pick file.. then click send to editor. It will appear in your post whereever your cursor is.
It won’t take large files. To shrink a file (with XP) left click on the picture and choose open with. From the list choose Microsoft Office Picture Manager. It’ll open it in that program. At the top click edit pictures. It’ll bring up a menu on the left hand side. Choose resize picture. It’ll bring up another menu choose redefined high and from the drag down list choose Web - Large, then hit ok and save the file. That will make it small enough to upload.
I hope this helped!
hey i work as an optician and know how hard it can be for first time contact lens wearers. there are a couple things u can try. u can ask your doctor for a more moist lens (not all contacts are created equal)
something like accuve oyasis are really good for dry eyes, or focus night and days u can wear those for 30 days straight, or u can try a daily lens, u only use those for one day and then throw them away so u dont have to worry bout cleaning them and they are so thin its almost like wearing nothing. or option #2 u can try blink for contacts they are a little bottle of drops that you can pop in when ever ur eyes are felling dry. hope this helps! o btw i saw ur before and afters…..u look amazing!!!! congrats
Hey,
I recently decided it was time to lose weight and at 160 pounds my goals may seem less ambitious but the feeling of what happened to me? still exsist.
My parents divorced and im entering into college and i went from 128 to 160… i decided after a long time of considering digesting high doses of arsenic (which im sure is low in calories), and playing in traffic (great exercise)… that those may not be the right routes.
So i began dieting, which led to blogging and realizing that many others felt the same way i did and i ran across yours! Your before and after pictures are amazing! What a transformation!
I personally am doing the atkins diet, and am starting to exercise. But your blogs are so relatable. I do wish you could have started blogging at 230 pounds just so i could read more blogs lol! The whole blog on is it bad that im excited to be skinnier than my sister.. haha! That really hit home. My twin sister is like 120 pounds and my older sister is prolly less than that, but they both take aderol, laxitives, and are basically barbies so theyd never admit it. My twin actually gets all of my boyfriends, its cute….. I, at 160, felt alone! And now that i have read your blogs i realize I can do it! I can get down to 140( my intial goal) and then i plan to get to like 128ish but im not even gonna consider that yet..
Anyways I loved the quotes, and all the post!
You are so human !! Its fun to read your post and be like hey thats me!! I hope you continue to post as it is so encouraging to me and my goal!
Nice job. I completely agree with you.
