Ma Ma and LOST

I am behind and did not post a weight update last week..sorry! Not only that, for some reason they have been off by 0.2 lbs for the last couple of months so who knows what it is anymore. I'll figure it out this evening and post after today's weigh.

In other news, the show that meant the most to me in the last several years ended last night. Most of you know that would be L O S T (just in case you've been living under a rock or on an island somewhere ;)
I'm not a good writer, obviously so it's probably pointless to get into it; perhaps I will at a different time but as stupid as it sounds, I am emotionally drained after the show. I had a hard time accepting the ending. I liked it. I wasn't disappointed, I think that knowing it was the end and realizing how much everyone has invested into this show, it's silly but it was very hard to let go of it. I cried so hard afterward. I couldn't sleep. It doesn't help that I've been quite down for awhile now also so I was a big old mess.

Moving on from L O S T, I have made small steps of progress in my scrapbooking (yay!), I'm headed to Kentucky this weekend (well, for 2 days...lame) and most importantly: Bebe' finally knows to say Ma Ma when asked about me and Da Da for my husband. Woo Hoo! Randomly on Thursday evening, my mom pointed at me and asked Emily "who's this?" and Emily said "Ma Ma" as if she says it everyday! I was so shocked that I was like "what???" so we repeated it and she did it again! Later that night before bedtime, I pointed to Kurin and said, "who's this?" and she said "Da Da". OMG, HOW COOL!

Well...off to work. Actually, I've been at work since 6:30 am. The husband had to be at the airport at 5:45 am so this is going to be a great early day. I even got my walk in already this morning! Now that makes me happy :)

My Bridesmaids Dress is GINORMOUS!

This week I received the dress I ordered for the wedding that I'm standing up in. True, they order your size based on your largest measurement but HOLY MOLY...the dress will barely stay up on me! I've only lost about 6 lbs or so since ordering it but I would rather have it huge than try to have to slim down super quick. :) I'm very excited to have it taken in everywhere!
Yay! Not too shabby considering I didn't get all of the walking in that I wanted to or anticipated doing. I did try to eat better so I'm hoping that counteracted anything in the "moving" area that I didn't accomplish :)

This week: -0.8 lbs

Total to Date: -21 lbs

Phew!

Thank God for small favors!

Weigh In Monday: -/+ 0 lbs

Total Loss to Date: -20.2 lbs

A little late...

From April 26, 2010...

Weigh In: +0.4 lbs

Total to Date: -20.2 lbs

I honestly think I would have been even if I had just peed before I weighed in LOL :D

As for tonight's weigh-in, I'm not so sure. It was a hard week and it was hard for me to make the best choices while on a road trip and then a Tigers game. I dread the outcome but tomorrow is a fresh start.

Oh, Happy 100 posts to me!

Yes!

Yay! I've been very good this week and it obviously shows :)

This week: -2.8 lbs

Total to date: -20.6 lbs

Every Day is a Fresh Start

Well, I didn't do so hot last night. Not as bad as I thought but I really need to step up my game.
I have started chewing gum again recently. I know it sounds like a lame thing but it seriously helps me not want to chew everything in sight. (Just don't tell anyone at my job...I do a good job hiding it and I shouldn't chew it in the lab - which I usually don't but just in case..haha).

This Week: + 0.8 lbs

Total to Date: -17.8 lbs

Every day is a fresh start. I have really taken that on as my motto. If I don't do well one day, I have to try harder the next.
My goal this week is -1.2 lbs

Slowly but Surely...

Slowly but surely, I'm losing....

This week: -0.4 lbs

Total to date: -18.6 lbs

Trying

I'm really trying to stay on track. I'm down this week again. I'm glad. I hope to continue. going down. I didn't have much opportunity to exercise and I see that is definitely a factor.
The weather is absolutely phenomenal this week so I should be able to get my walks in - no problem :)

This week: -0.4 lbs

Total to date: -18.2 lbs

Suck It!

I sucked big time. Absolutely no surprise. I was very lazy about what I was doing and didn't seem to care this past week.

This week: +2.8 lbs

Total to Date: -17.6 lbs

In good news, Bite Me: A Love Story by Christopher Moore is out today, I have Friday off to take bebe' for her 18 month pictures and a scrapbooking event at the township rec center, and Thursday is lunch at Pita Pita day with Michelle and Hussein. Yippee!

Now, I'm going to say "Suck It Fat...I'm gonna get you!"

Shoes

Bebe's favorite word to try and say is "shoes." It comes out sshhhooes but it's so cute. I say where are your shoes and she looks at her feet!

In other shoe news, with my new Skechers Shape-Ups (which I LOVE!) that I received for my birthday, I have been walking about a mile or more a day. Yippee!

I'm back on track..

This week: -0.8 lbs

Total to Date: -20.4 lbs

Walking

I have taken to walking about 1.5 miles every day (or every other day). Looks like it has helped a little bit. I am also wearing my pimped out Skechers Shape-Ups. They're awesome and I do like that I feel like I'm working a little harder with them.

Lost: -0.4 lbs

Total To Date: -19.6 lbs

Beware!

Tonight's weigh-in is likely to be ugly, people. I'm using this time to re-focus and get back on track. It was a hard week. I don't know why but I think the awesomeness that was CA's strawberry cupcakes and strawberry frosting (finally something non-chocolate!) is what did me in. Stay tuned...post to be edited later.

Edited 3/3/10 11:33 a.m.: Ok so I am up +1 lbs. Not good but not as bad as I thought either. I'm definitely regrouped this week and I can already tell I'm doing better. I'm not guaranteeing loss this upcoming week but we'll see...

To date: -19.2 lbs

I had it coming...

This week wasn't too much of a surprise. I haven't been eating well lately. Time to get it in gear and get back on track and start getting my butt out at lunch for a stroll around the block. Two other coworkers do this and I have hesitated to go thinking they would think I am following them or copying them. However, I don't care what they think anymore. I have a new book on my iPod and I'm going to take a 20 minute walk.

Weigh In: +0.6 lbs - not too bad considering

Total to Date: -20.2 lbs

Feeling Bleh

I'm pretty sure I had a bad week this week and I'm not looking forward to the weigh-in. I'm guessing I'm up about 3 lbs or more. We'll see...to be continued....

Edit: 2/15/10, 9:05 pm
OH MY GOODNESS...I lost 1.2 lbs. I am now ....

Lost: -1.2 lbs

Total to date: -20.8 lbs

Holla!

Stayed the same.

The Romy & Michelle diet...

If you know the movie, "Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion" (which most of you don't know word for word like myself and a select few other "special" people), you'll know that:
1. Getting mono is usually the best. diet. ever.
2. The newest diet to be on is the fat free diet consisting of gummi bears, jelly beans and candy corn.
3. OH! And always deduct 16 lbs (to account for your shoes).

Anyway, I didn't have to do any of that, although the mono thing was close but not quite (I was sick, but not with mono).
I lost 6 lbs this week! There is no way I lost that whole 6 lbs just from being sick but I'll take it and run with it.

Lost this week: -6 lbs
Total to date: -19.6 lbs

If I could just lose 1 lb this week, I will be so happy. Ok, it's bedtime. Later taters! Have a Romy & Michelle day!

I knew it - it's my own fault

Due to a very overdue night out and dinner at Red Lobster, I am now up 1.6 lbs. Sorry but cheddar bay biscuits were totally worth it.

Total: -13.6 lbs

I'm back on track this week for sure. I'm going to make that 1.6 lbs my bitch this week. LOL

Hit it again!

Lost this week: -0.4 lbs

Total to date: -15.2 lbs

I've hit the 15 mark again. Let's see if I can continue down this time. :)

More to come regarding Christmas (yes, I'm behind...so sue me), Bebe's antics, TV catch-up, and The Golden Globes.

Hip-Hop Ya Don't Stop

This week: -0.8 lbs

Total to date: -14.8 lbs

Let us also note that I attended an awesome hip-hop class at Lifetime fitness in Canton with my friend Brooke on Monday evening. She was so incredible to get me a pass to join her. I was so afraid to go because I thought I would totally embarrass her. See Brooke is like "my" Audrey Hepburn. She is this icon that I've just adored since jr. high and high school. She was always very popular, pretty, cheerleader-y etc. One thing that always made me like her was that she was nice to me. I remember running into her at Meijer in jr. high (I was a total hot mess in Jr. High - who wasn't?) and she actually said hello to me and was very friendly! I thought, wow, this popular cool girl actually said hello to me and was very nice. From then on, I always admired her..SO, having reconnected with her a few years ago through Jenny (who always was very nice to me and would walk home with me from the bus stop because she lived on the same street and was very tall, pretty and skinny and funny) we have become friends. Needless to say, I was thrilled (and kinda honored) to be invited to attend this class. OMG!!! This class was totally amazing and I could have went on dancing/moving for another hour or more. It was so fun. I felt like such a bad-ass even though I know I sucked but OMG it was fun. I can't get over it. I wish the place wasn't so far away from my home because I would totally join even just to take that class twice a week.
I am looking into alternatives closer to me. If anyone knows of any good hip-hop classes in Washtenaw County, let me know!

I had a feeling..

This week, I kind of new going in that I wasn't going to be down but considering I'm doing so well, I'll take it in stride. Let's see if I can turn it around this upcoming week.

This week: +1.4 lbs

Total to date: -14 lbs
