New Year, New Goals, New Me? January 11, 2009
Well, I didn’t start the New Year on quite the note that I wanted to, but it’s gotten better. When I got home from all of the Christmas food debauchery, I stepped on the scale and weighed in at 203.4 pounds - I believe at one point I got up to 205. The good news in all this? Seeing 200 on the scales again kicked me in the butt and it hurt!
So, for the past week, I have sworn off bread and refined sugars. Granted, there is still traces of that stuff in the oatmeal that I have for breakfast - but for my lunches and dinner I have been rockin’ out on all protein and veggies. And the results of my newfound determination? The scales clocked me at 198.8 this morning! YAY!!!!! So - I will ride this wave of determination as far as it will take me and hope that it takes me far! (I even turned down the graham crackers and chocolate/marshmallows that my hubby brought to me last night - I didn’t even think about it… just plain ole “uh, no”). I’m hoping that I can stay excited about this. For the moment I’m not even feeling any sort of craving for those things - not even (gasp) chocolate! I’ve found that I enjoy having a smidge of Peanut butter and a few craisins in my morning oatmeal (yes, the craisins have sugar in them…I am aware, but I don’t have a whole heck of a lot of them either).
So, there’s an update. We have been SOOO busy lately. So, I haven’t gone again and left my blog by the wayside - we just have been busy! I even missed (once again) the deadline of having my initial weigh-in in at the Biggest Loser challenge.
I’m off to now update my WW@ home ladies!
OHHHHHHH before I forget - the best part of this past weeks eating (other than the weight loss part) is that my past 2 bowel movements have contained no pellet like consistency…. it’s actual, real poo - as poo is supposed to be!!! YAY!!!! 
It’s been nearly 3 months since I’ve had one of those! Woohoo!
