Weigh-In 7/21/10

I was down 3 pounds! yay!
I was on plan from Monday to Friday, went off a bit over the weekend and then back on Monday.
I was 157.5 on my scale this morning and was 160.4 on theirs at weigh-in. There is usually a 3 pound difference being I weigh in at home 1st thing in the morning and am either naked or in a nightgown and I weigh-in there dressed at 5 pm.
I am so close to goal now! I still feel(and look!)rather flabby. I am really bad about exercising. I'll go walking here and there but it's been in the 90s for weeks (except for when there has been torrential rain!)and I am just not into it as it is, let alone when it's a million degrees out!
I just went out and bought a pair of shorts and a pair of capris in a 10 and two tank tops in medium. That felt good!
The pants are actually tight but I am hoping they stretch out a bit with wear. Twelves are definitely too big and bag right out. Maybe I should be trying junior size 11? I am so big in the hips and butt that I hadn't thought to try that.
I hate trying to find shorts! They just do not flatter my shape at all! I own 3 pair and don't like how I look in any of them. I like this new pair but haven't worn them yet, so may hate them soon, as well!
Really, it's my big ass and thighs I hate, not the shorts....but I'll blame the damn shorts!
I will be off program on Saturday because some friends are having a barbecue and they are fantastic hosts and put out a big spread and it's hard not to try things.
Some old friends I don't see often and one I haven't seen in probably 10 years will be there so I am very much looking forward to it and so is my husband. He likes this couple a lot who are hosting. I'll bet some of the kids will want him to play/coach a bit of soccer with them as he did the last time. He has played since he's 4 and is a very high ranked coach so the kids can learn cool stuff from him. Plus he looks so damn cute playing I love it!

another weigh-in

Ok, so I'm sick of counting them!
I was finally down a little!I really just started back on the Ideal Protein plan on Monday so I wasn't expecting much! I was down a half pound.
I have to start somewhere!
I still have less than 10 pounds to lose so that is great.
The nurse practitioner did my measurements and I was down on my waist and arms and since last time so things are still going in the right direction anyway. I'd like to know when my bust will go down a bit more! I want to be back to a 36 B or so.I don't know why I am still a C cup and still stuck between a 36 and 38. At this weight,I was always a 36.
She also brought new pictures of her baby! So freaking cute! He had a big smile in a couple of the pics and I just want to squeeze those chubby little cheeks!
I went through more of my closet yesterday and have another big bag of clothes to get rid of, as well. I have way too many clothes! I used to like to shop! Thank God I am over it because it is too expensive and I had from 10s through 16s in there. Now it's just 10s and 12s because it depends on make, etc. as to which one fits me.
I still need to go through my jackets and blazers because it just got way too hot yesterday morning.
I should do it right away because it is supposed to be hotter today and even hotter tomorrow.
I need to see if I can get my sewing machine to work because I have a few things I'd love to alter. I am not much of a seamstress but think I could do some basic stuff.
Gotta get cracking so bye for now!

July 10th-my birthday

Hi all!
Today I am 49 years old! ack! How the hell did that happen!?! I swear I didn't pay attention for a minute and then I look back and I'm this old!
One nice thing today was receiving my first "to my wife" card from my husband! It made me all teary eyed!
For the last 2 weeks I have stayed the same because I am just not doing the diet anymore. I am just so tired of it!
Maybe after this birthday celebration weekend is over, I can get back to being good and get into ketosis mode again and lose that last nine pounds. I know if I do, it'll probably come off fast as it'll be like week one again, I imagine.
I feel I am being a bad influence on my followers who are working the diet properly and I'm sorry of I am. I really just had enough of it all.
At least I have been staying the same and not gaining, so I am not being a total idiot.
Although I have not weighed myself in 3 days so I may be up a couple.I do tend to fluctuate quite a bit from day to day so I really try not to worry.
I haven't posted in ages because I don't want to keep writing about not doing the diet.
Ok, so don't do what I am doing folks! Try and be good!

Wednesday weigh-in

Sick of counting them because there have been too freaking many!
I should be at goal already weeks ago and am still about 10 pounds away!
I did not lose any weight this week but my body fat did go down and so did my metabolic age which is good.
I know I have not really been following the diet lately. I am just all out of willpower at this point.
Now there are holiday weekends and birthdays coming up and I will have to do my best all week b/c I know I will not stick to things w/ parties happening.
Of course this morning I weigh a pound less than I did yesterday morning...isn't that always the way?!?
I have been hovering between 159 and 161 for awhile.
The weather was so gorgeous yesterday and looks to be the same today. Sunny and low humidity. God, I love summer!
