I finally got into my old man’s pants!

LOL, Did that get your attention? I putting away the laundry and my honey pie has this old, old pair of Levi’s, you know the ones, faded to almost white, frayed around the cuffs, a hole in the pocket from his wallet and incredibly soft.
Temptation overcame my better judgement.
I unfurled them and stuck one leg in, “Oh, oh,” I thought “ if I rip the butt out of his old faithfuls I am a dead woman”. Throwing caution to the wind I slipped the other leg in and pulled them up. Unbelievably, they were too big! Whoohoo! (Insert angelic choir in the background) I am smaller than my husband! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Halle-lu-jah!
Now admittedly they are a 36 waist, but still, it was a very cool moment for me.

So that is my story for the day.

For the life of me I can't remember what I posted yesterday other than the Bunny, so rather than repeat myself I will just ,

Wish you all your own Fabulous Friday!

I know that is you CC. You must be totally on cloud 9!!!! What an accomplishment!!!! I thought I was having a 'heavenly experience' when I heard that choir singing out their praises to you. See, that bunny tail is not that far off!!!

I'm struggling....must absorb some of those {{{{{{VIBES}}}}}}. Hopefully will be able to go for a walk later. It will depend on whether I have someone to watch my daughter. The other DD is getting things ready to leave for college so she is running around with her head chopped off. I'm sending the 'clearance candy' with her when she goes. You know kids, they'll eat anything junky!!

I sure missed the board yesterday when it was down. Glad we're back. Hope everyone has a great day and an OP weekend.

TOPS Hugs,
Summer

CC,

That is so awesome that you are smaller then your husband. I bet you never thought that would happen. See you are doing great keep up the great work girl.


Summer,

We are here for you girl. That is a great start by getting rid of all the junk in the house. If it isn't there then you can't eat it. You will do fine once she is back at school and you get your life back to normal again.

Okay about me. I am sad to say that I have to let you girls down. I gained 1/2 lb last night. I was so upset but not too upset to make me think that I have done so bad. I honestly did great all week and my scale was down 5 lbs. I must be doing something right for my scale to be down like that. Also I am giving myself a lot of credit for not going off plan and eating when I was so stressed this week. Usually that is the first thing I do is eat and I can say that I did great and feel great about it and I won't let the TOPS scale take that away from me. Also to go to a buffet and only eat salad and fruit is a major thing for me also. I usually consume everything and then some more. So I know I am doing great and heading in the right direction. Hopefully it will show next week on the scale. But I am going to take myself to the gym anyway even though I didn't lose with tops this week. I feel that I deserve it for all the hard work I put into me to make myself healthier. I know I am on the right track and I am going to stay there. I did get the hungries last night and wanted to eat everything. I wanted my pint of ice cream and a candy bar. I said no I will never get to goal if I eat that junk. But I did eat. I had 10 FF saltines with PB and a wheat english muffin with butter and a second helping of shepherds pie. I know I shouldn't have had all that but all I had all day was a salad and oatmeal a bannana and the shepherds pie for dinner. So over all I think I did great. I know I ate over my points. But for what I had I think it was much better then the pint of ice cream and the candy bar. I had a lot less fat then I would have had if I went the other way.
I am back on track today and doing well. It is going to be that time of month on tuesday so I will have water gain this week but I am going to do 3 days of exercise and one of those days will be at the gym. I am giving myself an A for effort even though I didn't do good on the scale. But I will have a loss next week I hope. I can't get any bigger then I already am it is so depressing but I am not depressed I am motivated to get this weight off and eat right.

Eleni,

Girl what can I say. I am sooooooooooooooooo PROUD OF YOU. I am so happy for you that you lost 2 1/2 lbs last night. Christie called me and told me. I was so happy for you. She said you were beaming that she hadn't ever heard you be so upbeat and excited. You should be you deserve to be. You are doing the work and it is showing. Keep up the great work. I know you can do it. You are an inspiration to me as well.

I am going to try and get some work done here.

Oh before I forget the lady that I returned her wallet to her sent me a thankyou card yesterday. Enclosed was a gaurdian angel pin and a $25.00 certificate to the house of pizza here in town. Guess where we are ordering dinner tonight. That was so nice of her but I really didn't want anything. She tried to offer me money when I returned it but I wouldn't take it. I didn't think I had to take it I was doing the right thing and she was so appreciative for it. I just hope that someone would do that for me if I ever lost my purse or wallet like she did.

CC,

That is great getting into your old man's pants. I am hoping that I will soon be able to get into to mine. He is a 32" so that will be amazing. LOL

Summer,

CC is right it is good to get all of the junk food out of the house. Leads to less tempation.

Eleni,

I think that I gained you 2 1/2 #'s. It is great that you are losing.

Sherri,

It sure can be disappointing when you know for sure that you have done everything right and you don't lose. On the other hand I sometimes get those weeks when I lose and don't feel like I should have.

I did post yesterday that I had gained 3 # since my last weigh-in but it seems to have gotten lost. (not the weight, the post) LOL

I figured I would have a gain since it had been 4 weeks since I last weighed in and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I am getting back on track and trying really hard. I have to admit though that I am finding it hard because I let myself eat more than I should of over the holidays, but I will just have to do better. I definetly don't want another gain.

I hope everyone is having a good day and staying on plan.

Type to you tomorrow.

Hi all - even tho' I don't really have much to say I promised myself to come and post often. So here I am..

C.C - great going girl! What a wonderful feeling. I did that once when I lost a lot of weight. I tried on my teenagers sweaters etc but alas no more.

Congrats Eleni -- and everyone else. I am doing better this week but I still have weak moments. We shall see on tuesday what I have really done.

Have a great weekend all............

[Eleni]

Hello all, I have been doing really. Hopefully I can keep this up.
I have a loss for two weeks in a row and I am thrilled.

Congrats CC on getting into your hubby's pants. So cool!!!

Summer, I think you will do better when you get all the junk out of house. If it is in the house it is too hard to stay out of it.

Donna Good to see you back. You will get back in the groove soon

Sherri-- hang in there and don't you dare give up. You will be a skinny thing this summer. I think it was very nice of that lady to reward you. You deserved it

myme--It is always hard to get back on track after the holidays. The holidays are a hard time for all of us. You just keep trying and don't give up

Hi to all the rst of you.

Nita How are you doing and how is your husband doing. I have been thinking about you

Marie. How's it going girl. I think it is great you started a chapter.

Hope everyone has a great weekend

Christie I will try to call you sometime this weekend
