Got everything moved over!
Was 185.2 this morning--new low for me! However tomorrow's weigh in will be higher. As it's Friday night, the damage was done, but I am always so strict and disciplined Sunday-Thursday that I give myself some leeway on Fridays and then I ease back in on Saturday in preparation for "full swing Sunday!"
Hope everyone had a great Friday and I'm sure we will all enjoy our fabulous weekends!

Hello Everyone
Hi Ona and Kukkie thanks for thinking of me. Missed you all also
Thanks Diana, eventhough I shouldn't get the credit. Cleaning my closet/bedroom kind of consumed me so my calories were low.
I'm hanging in there
I had to do another closet cleaning that took an entire day it seemed. I do like the fact that I am losing but when you put on those favorites and they don't fit ... I'll tell you I am having some serious mixed emotions. . I have been actually listening to my body as far as sleep goes. I was back down to 169.0 this morning but after lunch at Olive Garden I'm not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in. I see you all are doing well. I would love to hit a new low.

I am going to weigh in tomorrow for my official ticker change day, and then I am taking a week off of weighing every day. This is just too disappointing lately and makes for some real bad mornings!

Sooo, I just got back from Medieval Times! It was great. And I think I did really well with my food portioning too. They really do give you too much food and the guy kind of gave me a weird look because there was so much left on my plate, but I stopped when I was full instead of eating it just because it was there. Mini NSV for me... But then we got our picture (part of our package was a free picture) and I absolutely hated hated hated the way I looked. I knew from the scale that I had gained quite a bit of weight after I got married, but looking at this picture really hit home and I said to hubby, "why didn't anyone tell me I ballooned this much?" He wisely chose not to say anything. I didn't let it ruin my night, but it really really got to me and I'm disappointed with myself. Then I got home and I saw this blog post from Sparkpeople in my email and it really resonated with me, so I thought I would share it. I don't know how to link to it because it was emailed and I couldn't actually find it on the site, but here it is. I can't wait to look in the mirror and see a "thinner" me. *insert a super long sigh here*
Today I Looked in the Mirror
The reflection that I see is more often than not a distorted image of what is actually there. When I was at my heaviest, I couldn't see that weight when I looked in the mirror. I knew it was there, but unless I looked at a picture that was taken, I just didn't see it. I chose to ignore it and pretend that it wasn't there. When I looked in the mirror 6 months ago, what I saw reflected back to me was closer to the Emily 6 years ago, and about 70 lbs lighter, because that is what I chose to see.
Today, I do think that my perception of the Girl in the Mirror is getting more accurate, but it still isn't as true to reality as I would like because when I look in the Mirror I now see the Fat Girl I once ignored. I don't always see the New Girl that is standing in front of me. As I progress into weights that I have not seen since jr high, this New Girl is a stranger to me, much like Fat Girl was at one point. I am glad to say that I CAN see New Girl standing there, and I can realize that she IS me, and I smile. A true, happy smile because all of my hard work, the endless miles I have put on my shoes, the untold amount of weights I have lifted... I am starting to see what they are doing to and for my body. I guess it just takes my brain a little longer to catch up to the progress.
Today I Looked in the Mirror...
...and HONESTLY thought I looked thin(ner). It wasn't a positive thought I was just telling myself because I WANTED to believe it. I saw my reflection and I saw the miles that I have walked, the weights I have lifted, the good fuel I have eaten, the cookies I have passed up... It was a good start to the day.

Okay Ladies. . . here's the new smaller dress. The consultant was like "wow, you've lost a lot in 2 weeks." I've only lost about 4 lbs. I have 7 weeks to lose 17 more. The black jacket is a 14/16 - two weeks ago it didn't fit. I want the jacket but it's $60.

Good Morning Everyone!
I wanted to sleep later than I did. I woke up for some reason. I did get 7 good hours of sleep though. Some people can only sleep 4 or 5 hours so I am grateful for what I did get.
I think I have figured out what my problem was the last 3 weeks (besides my allergic reaction & TTOM ). (of course I don't know anything for sure, though). I was doing HIIT training, which is shorter bouts of intense cardio. I don't think my body liked it very well. I have always done well with longer cardio. This week I went back to doing my regular cardio routine and my body seems to be liking it better than the HIIT training. Of course everything is experimental and a work in progress.
Akelly Congrats on your 1.2 pounds.
Love Hi!
Lindifer I'm sorry you are having a rough time.
Kukkie Great job on the food portions. Thanks for posting that. I have been very heavy for most of my life Since I have been heavy for so long the smaller person in the mirror doesn't look right either. I guess we have to find a happy medium somewhere.
Kris Did you exchange the dresses and get the smaller size?
Ona I have had mock mashed potatoes before and enjoy them, too. DH not so much. He has some health issues and really fights the healthy eating thing. He is trying though. Great job on your .2!
Calories for yesterday: 1540 + morning Joe
Weigh In: 197.4 (I also got a reading of 197.6, but I got 197.4 four times in a row, so I'm taking it.)
Down: 1 pound

Ona I have a digital Tanita. I special ordered it because it weighs heavier and I was much heavier at one time. Also, it has a bigger platform than most scales (DH wears a size 16 shoe ) There are buttons (memory) for multiple people to use it. I use #'s 1-4 and DH uses #5. I will weigh myself on 1-4 hoping to get the same weight on all of them. The first time it said 197.6. As I went down the buttons the rest of them said 197.4. I went back to the one that said 197.6 and weighed again. It said 197.4 this time. So I went with that.

Diana ~ I did exchange for the smaller dress. The bigger one is just toooo big and with 7 more weeks, the smaller one is just the wise choice. The bigger one makes me look frumpy through my mid-section and the smaller one gives me a shape. I still have back fat with the smaller dress but I think by the time the ball gets here that won't be the case. I believe in myself (wow, that's a strange feeling ). Congrats & way to go on the pound down. You sound like me on the scale . . . I step on and off several times in the morning and take the number I see the most or if I see 3 different ones I usually pick the middle (as in between the highest and lowest) number.
Ona ~ Thanks. And lose more I plan too. Good job on the .2! I'm gonna have to try the mock potatoes ~ they are on my list of foods I want to try.
My sister and I are headed to the renassaince fair today. I already know I'm getting a grilled turkey leg and a roasted ear of corn while I'm there so I'm starting my day with a "no frills" protein shake - which means I won't add anything like fruit or peanut butter to save on calories. My protein powder only has 120 calories and 4 grams of carbs so I'm gonna make it with coffee today for a frozen coffee drink. I will get in lots of walking today so things should balance out.
Hope everyone has a great day. And I promise no more pictures of me in the dress until the ball - I'm sure everyone is getting tired of seeing it and hearing about it (I'm a little OCD sometimes ).

Kris Have fun at the Renaissance fair! I love me some smoked turkey legs! I'm not tired of your gown pictures. I am excited for you and hope you have a wonderful time. The last time I dressed up like that was when I got married and before that was the proms in high school. A girl doesn't always have an opportunity to do stuff like that. Sometimes we have to live vicariously through others.

I could have sworn that I posted yesterday, but I guess I didn't save it! I'm having a nice little whoosh, which I attribute to a combination of kicking TOM out of the house and also getting back into ketosis and following my plan better.
Diana -- Congratulations on firmly back into Onederland, you are one determined chick!
Kukkie -- Great job managing the food at medieval times, I hope you enjoyed the show as well! Thanks for sharing that excerpt with us. Pictures and children tells truths you just can't ignore, but can be hard to hear.
Jennie -- I can normally tell TOM is on the way too by the headaches and bloating. Don't worry, you're doing so well, it can only last a few days afterall.
Akelly -- This traveling is working for you! Nice losses!
Love -- I soooo badly need to clean some closets, and vacuum some corners around here. Maybe that will be my cardio for today...I'll give the kitchen and livingrom a good vigorous cleaning! I'm glad to hear you are getting a little more sleep.
Ona -- HOw do you make your mashed cauliflower? I used to make mashed potatoes that used only half as many potatoes and the rest was made up by celery root (give great flavour) and cauliflower, and that was delicious. I'd love to know some different ways to prepare cauliflower, we normally just eat it steamed. Congrats on your .2!
