HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I did my Weigh in today because I was unable to make it yesterday. I'm down 1.2 lbs for this week! I've come to realize that I really REALLY need to drink lots of water every day if I want to continue to lose weight.

My other good news is that the hubby and I are going to go on a 4 day cruise to the Bahamas! I've never been on a cruise before, but I heard there's TONS of food, so wish me luck that I don't pig out....LOL!

2006....wow time sure flies doesn't it? My resolutions for 2006 are to reach my goal weight and keep those pounds off for good! Also to drink lots of water(which is a toughie for me). May you all have a blessed and prosperous New Year!

A Very Sad Day :(

Last nite we had to have our 15 year old black lab, Ali put down. He had been in failing health for the past 6 months or so. Saying goodbye to him was about the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. He went quickly as we held him in our arms. I won't say goodbye my dear and faithful companion...I'll just say til we meet again. You will forever be in my heart.

A Weigh In Update

Went for my official WI this morning and it wasn't pretty. I'm up to 133.8 lbs. But, this past week I've been having upper abdominal pain and had to get bloodwork and an ultrasound done. I had to basically fast before both tests. My WW leader told me that's why I gained this past week is because the fasting process caused my metabolism to slow down. She said if I eat MORE...yep you heard it...MORE that my metabolism should pick back up again.

I hope everyone has a Blessed Christmas!

An Unofficial Weigh In

I didn't make it to my WW meeting yesterday but on my home scale I weighed in at 132.2 lbs. Went to a work related Christmas party yesterday afternoon and I was very good about what I ate....oh okay so I DID have a very small piece of pumpkin pie that kept beckoning me!

Now for the good news! While I was out Christmas shopping last nite I decided to get myself a couple pairs of jeans, and WOO HOO I'm back in a size 6 again! I mean they actually fit and zip up without me having to lay down to zip them up and I can actuall breathe....LOL!

Tales From The Scale...

Had my WI this morning and I lost 3/4lb. Okay..so that means I need to lose 1/4lb to be back where I was 2 weeks ago. Tonite is my work Christmas party...aka pigfest. I'm going to do my very best not to stuff myself!

My Weekly Weigh In....UGH

I gained a pound from last week...sob....sniff. But I think I know the source. We went out to eat the nite before my WI and the food was salty. That and the fact that I haven't been drinking enough water. I'm not a water person...it's too boring! I like my beverages with flavor. So, what I'm going to force myself to do is for every flavored beverage I drink I'm going to to drink an equal amount of water.

Hopefully next week I'll have better news to report!
