100, 200, 300......

Well, I've packed on some poundage over the last few months...6 to be exact.....so I'm back to counting calories and working hard at the gym. I've pretty much been able to maintain the weight loss I had last year, but I think vacation with dad put me over the edge.....yea, that's it..its dad's fault.

Here's what breakfast breaks down to:

1 egg + 2 egg whites = 103

asperagus = 59

Toast = 60

0.5 c skim milk = 43

Grand total for breakfast = 265. Not bad.

I put a little feta in the eggs to spice them up. I'm so crazy I know.

- 23 lbs.....and 2 pairs of size 6 pants!

So I fit into a pair of size six pants I bought at the thrift store last week. I figured they had to be mismarked.....then I fit into a different pair this week! Could it be true? Size 6? Thats what the tag says!! and I'm going with it! I'd still like to drop another 10 or so.

Losin' it update....

So here's the story with the weight loss. I've lost 21 lbs to date.....I've been maintaining this loss give or take a pound since April 10. I feel really good (and Chuck says "you're hot"......and of course I say..."what I wasn't hot before?????"). Anyway, I still want to drop another 10-15 but I think I might stay at this weight for awhile and see what happens....I'll let ya know!!!

- 20.2!!!!! Thats two 10 pound bags of potatos!!!!!!!!!

Weight check....................later today

....last weigh-in was March 19th...I was down 18.6 lbs. I haven't been to the gym since then for an official weight check. The last few weeks since I've been home from CR I've been walking or running outside. So, big day today...I'm going to the gym!....tune in later for an update!PS....I'm a little nervous.

- 18.6

................I'm melting.............

- 17.0

- 16.8

....its coming off a little slower now....

- 16.4

............how did - 1.0 lb happen overnight...sheesh. Not that I mind.......

- 15.4

Finally, another milestone! 15+ lbs gone....bye-bye.....thats the size of the pic above!!! (Its a 15lb turkey in case you are wondering) Feeling great! Altho, I'm a little (a lot) nervous about being able to keep the weight off. Since I've started this new health/fitness/weight loss quest I've immersed myself in health/fitness/weight loss books, mags, articles , etc. All the studies show that 95-97% of people gain the weight back once their goal weight has been reached. That is such a discouraging stat. From what I've been reading, it seems that the body has a 'set weight' that it likes to be at comfortably.....anything less or more is extremely hard to maintain. I'm hoping my 'set weight' is not the 163 lbs I started at.......!

- 14.0

I Love My Ring

One of the best things about dropping a few pounds is that my ring fits.....it has always been too tight. Chuck had wanted to get it made bigger to fit me better when he first gave it to me, but I wanted to and "grow out of it" instead......and I did! It fits perfectly! Thanks baby!
