I'm very proud of myself.
Yesterday j saved me a slice of NY style pizza. Boy do I LOVE NY style pizza. But I had just come from my WW weigh in and was still on my high of losing two pounds. Instead of eating the entire piece, I just took a bite. He was like "pizza can't be THAT many points!" I was like "wanna bet??!" I didn't wanna blow all of my points, or even my "extra" points.
Today one of Dax's little buddies had a b'day party. The little guys had a BLAST! James (the b'day boy), Asher (one of his buds and one of the cutest little guys), and Dax were just SOOO much fun and really enjoyed each other. B'day cake was served. I got a small piece for Dax, but it was still a really big piece. I gave Dax a few bites and he had enough after a few surprisingly. I had one small bite just for a taste and that was it.
My treat to myself for reaching my first goal (which will be getting to 163 pounds) will be buying a few new pairs of jeans. And baby, mama wants a new pair! ;o)

I'm a loser
YESSS!!! Today we weighed in and I'm down 2 pounds!! -2.0!! I originally had put back to my starting weight, but i forgot i had only gained 0.2 last week so this is my first official loss! WOOOO!! So 2.11.11. I'm at 170.2 = -1.8lb.
I told J I was being really good all week. REALLY paying attention to what I ate, how often I ate, making better choices when I could. I felt like my metabolism was increasing as I was hungrier more often even though I was eating more often too. My clothes fit slightly different. I feel like I've lost more in inches (still need to measure myself), and even in dance class I wasn't mortified to look at myself in the mirror. I feel like my muscles are starting to wake back up.
this loss really made my day and week and is giving me the push to continue. I want to see two more pounds at next week's weigh in! (I'll be out of town so I'll need to see if I can weigh in at a different location in a different state lol) I still haven't done so great on my cardio due to my migraines but I am working on it. I found out today that something was found on my c5 & c6 vertebrate in my cervical spine. I don't think it's anything serious but more than likely it's the main cause of my migraines. Thankfully the meds I'm on have really helped keep them from getting to be too severe.
On that note, I really enjoy an ice cold coke. I've noticed that the meds make coke, or anything carbonated for that matter, taste HORRIFIC! Like liquid metal that burns my tongue lol Beer does the same thing, coke, sprite, 7up. SO i'm pleased to say I haven't had much of any carbonated drink in almost two weeks now. It's just been water and coffee mostly. And the occasional powerade, but I avoid that b/c of the sugar.
That's it for now. Thanks again for your help and suggestions. please keep them coming!

Positive thinking begins NOW
Wow it was a bit of a rough week. Between it being "that time" for me which always has me eating like a crazed hormonal woman (well that's what i am right??!) plus the stress of numerous rehearsals, doctors appts and the crazy weather, I didn't do as well as I wanted this week.
Weigh in was on Saturday instead of Friday due to the snow and ice. I weighed in at 172.2, which has me +0.2lbs. BOOOOOO! Although I did expect it to be a bit worse. I didn't stay on top of my cardio due to these monster migraines and the weather, so I'm making that a priority this week. I'm REALLY working hard to see that number go down, even if it's a little bit.
the meeting I went to though was WONDERFUL! I thoroughly enjoyed the leader, and enjoyed the energy in the room. They were very kind to me, and gave me tips since I'm new to the area. The women (and men) were not afraid to admit their struggles but also triumph in their successes. The hardest part for me is to not beat myself up when I don't have a loss. I can be insanely hard on myself, especially in regards to my weight. But i'm trying really hard to not beat myself up, acknowledge and triumph in the few successes I have had, and just keep moving forward.
Surprisingly enough today I let myself use my extra points since it was super bowl and I cooked gumbo and we had a party to go to. I only went ONE point over!!! WHAT??!!! I ate really well early in the day, was satisfied, and somehow stayed within points range. Shocking to me lol
The migraine meds the dr has me on now also has weight loss benefits, so I'm hoping that will help me jumpstart this. Perhaps that's why today I didn't feel hungry. We shall see as the meds progress and as I progress!
;o) Thanks for following me on this blog. It's nice to know there are some rooting for me and keeping up with it. Not only do I not want to let myself down, but I want to have good news to report to you too!
