~The Never Ending Quest~

I am soooo excited!!  I have to share my good news!  I hit my 10% goal tonight with a 1.8 lb weight loss!  The crazy thing is that I thought I needed to lose more to make it… I didn’t even think I would get 10% today-  I was shocked when the receptionist at my meeting said- Congrats You made your 10%!  :)  I love my key chain, so pretty!  :) 

I wish my boyfriend would hurry up and get home so we can jump up and down together to celebrate!  He is working in the lab@ school on a final project… He might be home late so I might not get to celebrate tonight but I am keeping my figners crossed.  :)  So my next goal is to weigh 199- which is 9.6 lbs away.  I got this! 

I meant to come back and post wi results!  Oops- I lost 1.4 lbs so I definately got .2 of a lb I need for my next 5 lb sticker!  My book mark is looking great with 4 5lb stickers…. he he he I am 2.4 lbs away from my 10 % goal but I think I most likely need two weigh ins to meet that….  I shooting for next week, but will not be disapointed if I don’t make it then- My body is weird it will have a few little loses and then a big loss- it seems to be very consistent for me. 

My boyfriend and I have a busy day ahead of us- we are going to the gym, then we are going horseback riding- just trail ride, and then he is taking me to his university’s dairy store which has the best homemade ice cream ever!!!  (this school has a big agriculture department- MSU). 

Well, I am off to have some breakfast- Have a great day!

Howdy there ladies-

The weather is finally beautiful in MI.  :)  It has been cold and rainy all week which made me wonder if it really was spring since we hadn’t really had any nice weather yet.  None of that matters now though because it is a fabulous day!  I will be leaving work in about an hour and will head off to the gym, after that tho I am going to get time outside with the pups to play.  :) 

Today is WI and I am optimistic… if I even lose .2 I will have lost 20 total for WW and get another 5 lb sticker which I really want! 

 There are only 2 weeks left of class and I am excited but I have to write 3 papers and study for 3 exams.  Ugh….  Maybe I can study outside? 

We went out to the casino yesterday with DBF’s brother and sister.  Wow are they wild and crazy!  They are so unlike John it is funny….  I did well with not drinking until about 11:00 when they wanted to leave casino and go to a bar… i said I was okay with that because John wanted to go too… So then they started buying rounds for the whole table over and over again….  I ended up have 2 jager bombs, 3 jack and diet’s oh, and a superman and a washington apple.  Way more that I wanted to do… I wasn’t smashed so that was good, but just a bit tipsy….  I haven’t drank in like 4 months so there goes that streak, eh my dbf said at least you didn’t get rip roaring drunk like last time… he is right!  We even got to dance a little and DBF doesn’t really dance too much- I usually dance after drinking a bit… LOL  I just don’t want to figure the points for them… LOL  I probably don’t have any weeklies left.  I should probably do it now though! 

Today was not a hangover day which is great… I would have been sad.  We just layed around and watched movies and cuddled.  :)  It was a nice day-

How was your weekend?  oh, I added a pic me from yesterday before we left for casino! 

Hello Ladies-

I am so hungry… I have chicken noodle soup in the crock pot but wont be done for at least an hour…. It smells good!!!  I love homemade chicken noodle soup… It is so much better than the canned stuff.  :) 

I have been studying for Pharmacolgoy over weekend and all day Monday… The test was yesterday, I got a 92%.  I am ok with that… I could have done better, but could have been a lot worse… I still have a 4.0 in the class so I am not sweating it… I have two more tests to start studying for this week!  Ahhhh….  I hate tests…. Grrrr 

I feel like this week has gone well.  I didn’t go over my WPA including Easter dinner I still have about 8 left, but don’t plan on eating them.  he he he My weigh in is tomorrow and I am really looking forward to seeing the results.  I am getting close to my 10% so every little bit helps… I would really like to get to a marked 20 lb loss though… I am at 19. 4 from last WI… I would like to get another 5 lb sticker… I love those!  :) :)

How are you all doing??

My boyfriend bought me a new dress to wear yesterday.  It was perfect.  I loved it… Everyone said I looked great!  It was so nice of him to offer to buy me a new outfit… he even bought me a new strapless bra to go with it!  He is such a thoughtful dude… I am attaching a few of the pics in the dress. 

How was everyone’s weekend?  I hope you didn’t eat too much easter candy!  I am hoping he will eat more of my candy so I don’t have to worry about that basket that is in my living room will tempt me!  Ahhhh… it is all candy that is portioned out either 100 calorie packs, or those 100 calore butter finger stixx and also hershey’s 60 claorie sticks…  Still easy to overeat!!

I hope everyone has a GREAT week!

Hello, Hello!

Today is weigh day.  I have great news… I am down 4.2 lbs this past week.  That brings my total to 19.2 so far since starting WW, but 36 since September.  Yeah!!  I was the biggest loser in the meeting so I got take the groups lion for the week!  I will attach the biggest loser lion so you can see how cute he is! 

My boyfriend is going to be home late again after I go to bed… :(  I am a bit lonely right now.  I tried to call my sister to talk, but she got mad when I told her about my weight loss today.  She said I was rubbing it her face that I am losing weight and she is not… I had no intention of doing that… I didn’t know she felt that way- she never mentioned it before.. I have called her after my meeting for the 11 weeks.  She is my best friend also so it upset that me she didn’t want to hear about it.  I apologized and told her I wouldn’t mention my successes to her anymore… She tried to change what she had said after that but she did say it… Grrrrrr  Now I am home alone and have no one to talk to….  What are you guys doing tonight?  I also added a new side pic in my Photos page… Check ‘em out! 

I took some new measurements this morning- Here are the results!

• Upper Arm 16″ (-1/2″)
• Ribcage/Band size 38″ (-1″)
• Bust 47″ (-1″)
• Upper tummy roll 45″ (-1)
• Wasit 41″ (-0)
• Hips 48″ (-2″)
• Leg 25 (-2″)

So I have lost an additional 7 1/2 inches since Feb.  :)  Sweet!

I am so relieved. I have been very stressed lately-about what? Money of course. My DBF and I were going to move to a bigger place and I will be starting the accelerated nursing program in September- I will not be able to work during the 14 month program so I have been freaking out about how I will pay for things besides rent or even rent if the place we get is expensive or doesn’t include utilities. I actually just started bawling a few times from the stress of it… I tend not to talk about my feelings so they build up and then crying is usually what brings about discussion. I am trying to work on naming emotions and sharing them rather than keeping them inside as best I can.

My DBF is very observant and has noticed my distress even though I try to handle things on my own. Yesterday he said that we could just stay in the small, small apartment for another year or so until we are both financially ready to move to a bigger, better place. (He moved into my small apartment a few months ago and it is a bit cramped, but cheap!) Also he said he wanted to split all of the bills in half even WW and my the insurance for both of my dogs(our dogs). He also said that once our current gym membership is up he could would renew at our two for one rate and could pay the whole thing himself. He also told me not to worry at all because he would take care of me… he said he couldn’t let me starve… LOL I am feeling so relieved, really. I will be able to save more of my cash now that he is going to help me pay some of my expenses.

I just love him! Oh, he also basically told me that he was going to ask me to marry him once he finished up his Master program. He is planning on being done after this Summer semester and will walk at the end of this semester. He was funny because then he said- of course it will be a surprise. LOL

So anyway, I am feeling so smiley and calm today-

Hello all-

Happy Saturday.  :)  I have been having a lovely day- I got to cuddle with my DBF this morning after I got back from taking my math test for an online class.  We went to the gym after that and I got in some serious lifting.  I did a 10 minute warm up and then lifted for an hour.  My muscles might not like me to much tomorrow though.  LOL

I just finished dinner.  I was a yummy fettucini alfredo loaded with veggies: broccoli, califlower, spinach, peas, garlic, green onions.  The alfredo was light and didnt over loade it- also the fettucini(sp) noodles were 100% WW- YUM-O. 

My mom said she would take me shopping!!  We are just going to goodwill (she is a manager there) as she gets a discount, but I don’t have any money right to buy clothes.  Mine are starting to fall off- I have to wear a belt with most of my pants.  I have been wearing the same clothes as when I weight 248 in september.  It is about time for a change in size.  I am hoping I can fit a 16 now…. :)  I am so happy she agreed to buy me some stuff… she said she would love to take me actually.  I love my mom!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Check ya later-
