1st weigh-in back on plan

Not a bad weigh-in!
I was only on plan for 2 days and had been on vacation for a week but was only up 4 ounces from my last weigh-in before vacation.
It's my 30 year class reunion this weekend. Not that I'm going or anything! I will be getting together with the people I am still in touch with outside of the reunion, though, so will probably have a couple drinks.
I need anyone reading this to think positive thoughts for me-I had to have some tests done today and won't get the results for a week and want everything to be fine. It probably is anyway. But I do think the more people you have praying or thinking positively about a thing the better.
So, thanks!

back on Ideal Protein today!

Hey folks! I'm baaaaack!
Summer is over...vacation is over...eating and drinking too much is over!
Time to knuckle down and get back with the program.
I am hungry today! Sucks to start over but maybe I'll have that great first week weigh-in all over again!
Of course, I gained last week while we were on vacation so I might get down where I was the day I left which will be anti-climactic!
But you know what they-when you play, you gotta get your big ass back on ideal protein! What?-That isn't what they say?? really?!
We went down to Cocoa Beach, Florida for a week. We had fun, went swimming, went to a wild-life refuge,took a boat ride and saw manatees...bought a house! So exciting!
We are moving down there in two months and will start fixing up the house. It needs lots of paint, needs new windows, needs total landscaping overhaul, needs a pool but we can't afford one yet!
Once we get it all fixed up over the winter, we are moving to England and will rent it out for vacations to family and friends...and friends of friends...and acquaintances of friends....we want to have the house pay for itself.
We'll have a home base here in the states for when we visit and when we're old(ok,older) we can be in Florida for winters and England for summers.
So, I will keep you all posted about how I do on the diet. It's time to reach goal!
Especially with moving to Florida!People don't wear much down there so I want to be able to not wear much too!

almost freaking fall

hey all!
I know, I know, I never call, I never write....
I am still 157-159ish back and forth, up and down.
Now that fall is arriving(dammit!) I will get going again and actually make goal and learn to maintain properly. I have been maintaining all summer thank God.
This week, I want to get back on track because we are going away next Sunday for a week and I don't want to have to worry all week that I should be dieting. I figure if I lose a little before, I won't worry about gaining a little during and will restart after.
We are heading down to Cocoa Beach, FL to look at buying a house that we can rent out as a vacation home. This way we'll have a home base here in the states for when we move to England. Hopefully it'll get rented enough to pay for itself.
We can spend time there when we come back to visit and it'll be in a place with things to do so friends and family may visit us there. We can also bring my in-laws there for visits which I know they'd enjoy. They had so much fun coming to the US for our wedding and would enjoy going to the beach and wildlife preserves near where we are house hunting.
Back on the subject I am supposed to be blogging about-One of the things that has been helping me to maintain my current weight, even though I am not sticking to the diet completely, I have been eating the Ideal protein breakfast cereal so one meal a day is low calorie. I also usually have the BBQ or Garlic & Onion Soy Nuts as a night-time snack.
