Made it through the WARD CAMPOUT

"Holy Griddle" Breakfast - February 21, 2009

I don't know about you, but WEEKENDS...often are my downfall....especially, if there is a party or some event I am attending...This weekend was our WARD CAMPOUT...I tried really hard...not to PICK at anything EXTRA...Garvin cooked breakfast on the "Holy Griddle"...and I was able to walk away...from the "bacon" and "pancakes"....but, those hashbrowns...and left-over mashed potatoes that were cooked up for breakfast...was too much of a temptation....but, somehow...I managed to lose ONE more POUND over the weekend...!!!!

Ok I have tried 3 times now to report this week and for some reason the site is having problems so hopefully this will work and I wont blab on like I was. Maybe it was for me to yap but not to bore you all with(: Here it is....1.5 down. I hope you all have a super duper week. (:

I hope this works

(:

I hope everyone is doing great.

This week I went down 1.5 pounds. I have been doing the work out vidoes walk away the pounds (high calorie burn) My weekly goal is 6 and more if possible. I feel great. I am so excited to see results. When I tried weightwatchers after having the twins it took me 5 months to get down 17 pounds and I was working at it. I am just so happy that something is working this time. I know as we get older and having lots of kids does a number on the poor body but I want to be able to be around for future generations and active during that time. Ok Ok I know I rambled on there but for me yes I would love to be a smaller size but really I want to be healthy and active and there more for my kids and eventually(long ways away(: ) grandkiddies. It is all worth the hard work and dedication....with a treat every once in a while(:
Ok I have blabbed enough. Ladies I hope you all have a super duper week(:

I'm a "10"!!!!

Ha! Ha! I don't mean THAT type of "10"...(smile)...but, I did reach my FIRST milestone...I have lost my FIRST "10" pounds!!!! I am THRILLED!!!! YES, Sisters...it CAN BE DONE!!! Wow! Wasn't sure I would make it...but, I DID!!!! (smile) Hmmm....now for the NEXT 42 pounds....(smile)

back from discouragement

Well I haven't been posting because I was so discouraged with my body. I thought I was doing well, eating better and exerciseing and then my weight started going up a pound a day. I thought maybe I was retaining water so I cut back on my salt intake but it still went up. I gained 5 pounds in a week. I knew that I couldn't be eating that many calories because of my MGB surgery but I was so bummed. I didn't want to post cause I couldn't take my ticker going backwards all in one week. So I just ignored everything and kept on doing what I was doing trusting that it would pass. I went out and bought and planted some flowering plants to cheer me up. Because of my age and the effects of surgery on my hormones I haven't had regular periods and was thinking I might be done with that but not so and three days after I started my period I dropped the 5 lbs I had gained plus another 1/2. So I will continue trying to eat right and exercise and look forward to a downward path.

Your blogs have really helped. I read them mostly on my phone which is harder to respond on. But all of you keep working on it and we will all be getting smaller.
