Really, one purpose of this blog is to show my progress on my weight loss trip. But I have not been so good about it! As of this morning, I weight 236.5. Just 1/2 a pound until I hit the 40 pounds lost mark. I am really proud of my progress but at the same time, it just feels like 100 pounds is unattainable. I am not giving up though. This is important for me and for my health. This is important for my self-esteem.
I am one week into my 3rd session of the Game On diet. Lost 3 pounds this week. This really is working for me. :)

So I wasn't very good the last 2 Sundays about recording my weight, but I am still on it. In fact, I started something new and fun today. I am participating in the Game On! diet with a group of friends. It really tries to help you establish healthy habits like drinking water, and getting enough sleep. I am really looking forward to the next four weeks. Now my weigh in day will be Friday. So this morning I weighed 256.5. Doing South Beach without working out, I lost 19.5 pounds in 5 weeks and 5 days. Not bad. Here's to more success!

Success!
So I lost another 2 pounds this week. I am at 262.5. That makes 13.5 pounds total. I still have 86.5 pounds left. It seems insurmountable some days. I don't want to lose my will to do this. I really need to add exercise to this routine.
I also want to add pics of my projects to this blog.
Have a wonderful day!

I am going to try to post everyday, but that hasn't worked out so far, has it?
I did make it through week one on phase 1 of South Beach. I lost 6.5 pounds, so as of yesterday, I weighed 269.5. I feel better that I am out of the 270's, that is for sure. I thought that my cravings were supposed to decrease! I want sugar and fruit so bad. And cereal. I am doing ok with the potatoes and bread though. We went to Chili's on Friday and I had fajitas without the tortillas. It was yummy. I just wish I could cook for myself the same way.
On a sad note, Jennifer's Dad, Gregg, died on Saturday. It was quick and definitely unexpected. It has made me think about my own parents and their mortality. I know that no one lives forever, but it is hard to think about the day that they will not be around anymore. I feel so horrible for the Merrill family, and I think it hurts even more because I have known them more than 80% of my life. I have been on vacation with them. I spent more weekends at their house than my own in my younger years. Love to them.

I had my "last supper" tonight at Nicolos. A cheesy sausage and mushroom calzone. I sure am going to miss the bread, potatoes and pasta. But I will be stronger and healthier for leaving them behind!
By the way, old friends are the best. I have such a hard time making friends, and it is awesome that some people know me so well and I don't have to try hard to enjoy myself. Love you Camps and Farrells!
See you tomorrow for the big weigh in!

Happy New Year
So, it is the beginning of 2010 today. I can hardly believe how fast the last decade went. And this year, my little man will officially become a teenager. Scary!
I have a goal for this year. I don't want to call it a resolution, because I really don't like that word. I would like to lose 100 pounds! It will be incredibly hard, especially since my perimenapausal body doesn't have great metabolism, but I really think I can do it. Lots of exercise and eating much better will be the key! Right now I think that cutting the carbs will have to be the way to go. I am so addicted to potatoes, bread and chocolate!
Sunday I will weigh myself and take a picture and get started on this new journey. I will document my progress here. Jeff has promised me a "new" Suburban when I lose 55 pounds. That will be cool!
Happy New Year!
