Wednesday's WI? I called you right after, remember I almost hit a deer as it ran out in front of me on the highway.
GOOOOOAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!
I reached my goal this week, surpassed it by two pounds actually. My numerical weight goal wasn't all that important to me though - the big things I wanted to do were: fit into my pre-baby skinny jeans and not groan when I see pictures of myself. And I have succeeded. So that makes 22 lbs since 9/21. I'm on phase 4 now and I've been feeling good. And my husband gets home from Afghanistan at some point this weekend, we haven't seen each other since July...I think he'll be pleasantly surprised.
Hope everyone has a great Friday!
good morning all!!! Its a cold 35 degrees out but no need to worry its Louisiana so by monday we are in the 80's again... We have lots planned for the kiddos this weekend so it will be a busy one. I hope everyone has a great OP weekend and good luck to all the weigh ins coming up!!!!

congrats to you and how exciting that your husband is coming home - enjoy every moment !!!!!
Good Morning Everyone,
I made it thru day 3 at work. Didn't touch anything that was not OP. I haven't told hubby that I started this plan, I just wanted to surprise him with the weight loss. The reason for not tellin him is because I have been on so many diets and then failed. Well last night when I got home I started supperd. Cooked hamburgers and was wrapping min in lettuce when he got home and said Surprise, Happy Birthday.....he had gone to the Chinese restaurant and gotten me my favorite, Sesame Chicken and Vegtable Lo Mein. I stalled for about 20 minutes, cried a little cause I did not want to tell him that I could not have this for dinner and explain why. So finally I sat down at the table and I ate the steamed broccoli and then had about 6 little pieces of the chicken, I wrapped them in Romaine lettuce leaves and ate then that way. And then I was full. I did not touch the rice or the vegtable lo mein. I put the lo mein in the frig and gave the rest if the chicken and rice to my daughter for dinner. Then I went into the bedroom and cried for a bit because I felt so bad for eating that. I have never felt so guilty for eating something that I know I can't have. Please tell me that I have not really ruined all that I have done for the past couple of days.
On a good note, I have a NSV...I know that I have only been on this plan for 3 days, and this really surprised me. I have had to go by extenders for my bra's because they have gotten too tight. This morning I forgot to put the extender on it and it doesn't hurt.
Happy Friday. Looking foward to the weekend. Maybe play dress up @ home and take some pictures to share. Play outside in the snow with my chocolate labby, makes trails for her in the snow Have a great OP
weekend everyone

Brush off your guilt, grab a glass of water, and flush the lingering guilt away. Today is a new day, eat on plan, you know what to do. Congratulations on the NSV
