Trying to get the feeling again…

Tomrrow at 8 a.m. I will be on the train headed to S. CA.  The same crappy weather that is hitting N CA is also hitting there.  Oh well.  I went to hook up my Ipod to my new snazzy video player my honey gave me for Christmas and THEY ARE NOT COMPATABLE.  So much for watching a movie in spoiled luxery. I will be using my Ipod screen.  We have to send the dvd/ipod player unit back.  I did load First Wives Club and year one of Saturday Night Live on my Ipod so I will be entertained.  I am also taking a book.  I hope you all have a great weekend - and if I am not seeing things, my face looks a little thinner.  Maybe it’s the shadows or wishful thinking….

I lost 1.6 pounds yesterday.  I have lost 15 pounds since I started this blog and the majority of it since I started WW.  My BF and son-in-law both lost 6 pounds.  I don’t care as long as I can keep the scale going down each week. 

 We did not go see I Am Legand.  BF isn’ t feeling well so it will have to wait.    I am leaving for my sisters house tomorrow morning.  She is bummed that I am only staying until Sunday.  I am not looking forward to going.  But hopefully I can get that loving feeling back when I am there. 

 Have a great day.  I am going to go to lunch with a couple of gals I worked with this summer.  Hopefully when we work together next summer I look better.  I realize it is going to take until at least my birthday to get to where I want to be on the scale.  That’s only nine months away.  I want to lose 80 more pounds. 

I did it!  I am sweating to death but I did it.  2 activity points for me today and I can say YES when my honey asks me if I did it.  He is really good about doing it.  Now off to my well deserved shower! 

Although we were invited to 4 parties last night, BF and I attended none.  I was slightly disappointed but again not because he as a bad cold and because he has to work today.  He got up at 5 a.m.  Sure, I woke up but promptly rolled over and went back to sleep until 10:30.  It’s cold outside and there is nothing like a warm bed. 

Since we didn’t go out I decided to make a special meal for us.  After standing in line at the post office for 45 minutes I went to the grocery store to stand in line at the sea food counter for 10 minutes.  I got us steak kabobs, crab legs, and shrimp for shrimp cocktails.  I went home and asked BF what he wanted for dinner and he replied “Taco Bell”.  He has figured out that a bean burritto has 7 points and a taco has 4 points.  To me, the bean burritto is a waste of points.  So after I laughed at him, I told him what I planned on making.  He agreed that all of that sounded better than TB.  Dinner was wonderful and not many points.  I made a salad and some rice for our side dish.  The only thing missing was bread.  I thought about splurging for about 30 seconds and decided against it.  So, no bread.  But later we did have root beer floats made with diet rootbeer, no points, and 1/2 cup Dreyers/Edy’s icecream for 2 points.  We did not go over our points and we felt full and yummy! 

My daughter, soninlaw, and granddaughter came over and we played Electronic Clue.  Josh won.  It was Colonel Mustard with a hammer in the garden.    The kids had gone to Outback for dinner.  Sarah has figured out she can have the shrimp appetizer (no bread) and side salad with ranch on the side and stay within points.  Josh said they have a really good fat free tomato something dressing.  But to be honest, I didn’t feel like going out and paying the high prices so we didn’t go with them. 

 The kids left and we went to bed.  We watched the ball drop and then we kissed good night.  I thought of Anngirl and hoped she was having a fabulous time.   Another year gone.   It seems like yesterday I had my toga 1999 party.  So many changes since then….  So many losses…

Tomorrow is weigh in day.  I can’t wait.  After that we are going to see I Am Legand.  Not my choice but I will go because I am a team player and I will find a way to torture him afterwards.  LOL! 

 I guess I have avoided the treadmill and cleaning up the house for long enough.  It is 1 p.m.  Time to get my groove on.   I had a Slim Fast for breakfast.  Still not hungry.  Maybe I will be after I do the treadmill or as my granddaughter says “the treadding mill”.
