Scale didn't stick so I have no real news to report.....Walked so much in New Orleans that I have a beautiful blister on the side of my left big toe....ouch!!I am happy to report I ate NO pecan pie in the Big Easy!!It has to be my #1 dessert weakness!! So where did I go off plan ....beer, Strawberry daiquiri (open container walking allowed in N.O!!!) and a drink called a Hurricane...our team "Ghost Walk" was more of a pub crawl!!!) I definitely enjoyed the journey this week but back on track now!!!

Gonna go shopping with baby girl this weekend to see if I can get into real 14s this week.....this will be an experiment...but it will give me a real life goal besides the scale!!!

Making Fauxtato Salad again today!! I love this stuff and it is so good for me. Also working on less protein consumption and more veggies!!

My "totally fit" neighbor was driving by me yesterday as I walked in the 32 degree morning and she stopped to complimented me on walking in the cold and how great I looked!! It felt GREAT!!

Went to an engagement party and ate on plan - which was totally awesome!!

My husband thinks I will have trouble this winter with the cold because I have lost weight - I think so too!! Anyone else feel the cold more with weight loss?

Sum... Gotta "scare" it away! (Halloween thinking here! ) I bet tomorrow you will be back in the 148's! Or I'll sic the scale vampire on your scale!

[Lulu NH]

Welcome Darlac!!

Sum/Wannaskipandlaugh - You guys are ROCKIN' it!!! (Sum 149 is a beautiful number!! Just like I have to embrace 181 for right now!!) (Sue so happy for your new territory - that's where I will be at 177... new territory!!and I can hardly stand myself....patience is a 4-letter word!!)

True Confession: Old Navy Size 14 jeans fit!!! Yahoo!! but I didn't get any because the "rise" is too low for this old goat!! Not that I want "mom" jeans but I feel more comfortable with a little more coverage!! And the exercise is working because I had plenty of room for my thighs in the "skinny jeans"!!!

Happy Monday!!

[Sum38]

Lulu congrats on size 14's

Back down to 148.8 here this morning. I hope I can shake these 148/149's by Friday and see a brand new low

I had a NSV this weekend. I was able to put on my boots and zip them up without having to squeeze my calf in.

But I was ravenous this weekend and did not pratice self control.

Mara - We have all been there!!(ravenous!!) Congrats on the boots!!

Sum - Congrats on 148!!

Sue - Thanks as always for the support!!

So I have been re-evaluating as always and decided to go back to induction - eating "clean" if you will.... to try to get the movement that I want - I read somewhere that after 10 months most people report they are still "dieting" (a four letter word for sure) but most have reverted to old habits....I do not want this to be me!! I want to make sure I am not having calorie/carb creep. From what I have read and calculated my daily calorie count will always be around 1200 calories due to my "efficient" metabolism - I just need less fuel than others!! and the best way to manage this is to follow Atkins!!
