* Doing happy dance * Woooohoooo!
NOW we’re talkin’!!! I was so happy on the scale this morning, I jumped on and off and on and off and back on again because I just couldn’t believe my eyes. YEAH!!! That’s more like it!
And more good news … the stick was pink again! YAY! LOL, it doesn’t take much to make me sublimely happy. =D
I made myself some yummy low-carb snacky things today.

They are like little frozen fluffy cheesecake treats. Two of them - yes two! - adds up to only HALF a carb gram. Thank goodness for (liquid) Splenda!!!
Yes, I will come cook for you ALL. Never mind that I hate cooking, I’ve always hated cooking, and I probably always will hate cooking, nevertheless I will do it, I will cook for each and every one of you, and yes, I will make you fluffy cream cheese clouds and soupy cauliflower faux-taters. Yes I will.
*Pause*
No I won’t. Sorry, was just kidding! I wouldn’t even cook for ME if it weren’t for the fact that no one else is gonna do it!
Hey have I mentioned that I’ve taken up weightlifting? LOL, okay, I’d hardly call it weightlifting. A while back I bought two ten-lb. cast iron dumbbells, and just in the past few days I’ve actually started using them.

I honestly have no idea what I’m doing so I’m just lifting them this way and that and I keep repeating until each arm feels bloodless and weak. So far I’m only lasting about 15 minutes but I’m doing it right after I get off the elliptical when I’m already all sweaty. So far I’m actually liking it.
I just don’t feel like dragging the Total Gym out. If I had a place where I could just leave it out, I’d be on that thing every day.

Those lil’ puffs look real pretty on that plate.
So happy for your progress. 50 pounds deserves a reward! Let’s go shopping!!!!!!!

Yay you! That’s great news. Dontchya love when that little window shows you want you want to see? More fun than a Vegas slot machine!
LOL!! Best laugh all day. “I’m just lifting them this way and that and I keep repeating until each arm feels bloodless and weak”.
Your frozen fluff looks amazing. Congrats on your progress with the pounds and the pink. You rock!
You are such a tease!!
bodybuilding.com has GREAT instructional info on weight lifting. Check it out and you can make yourself a little plan! Good luck, and congrats!
50 pounds is a huge milestone! It’s always so fun when the scale provides good news.
I bet you’ll see some pretty dramatic progress if you keep doing the weight lifting. I can’t remember if you workout at home or at the gym, but if you workout at home there are some pretty good lifting DVDs out there. If you don’t want to commit to one you can borrow some from the library or rent some at Blockbuster. I like the FIRM DVDs, they explain things well and are cheap and easy to find.
Will you post the recipe for the cheesecake thingies???? They look awesome.
WooHoo! Woooooooo Hoo! Congrats to you! Wow, that’s the way I like it, too. And weightlifting is GREAT! What a good way to start. Now we’re doing this! You’re getting me inspired. Recipe, please. Thanks! Delita
