Hello buddies of mine,

Hope all is well with everyone.   Today was weigh in day…I lost .4 of a pound thats point 4 of a pound not the loss I was hoping for but i’ll take it…So I am now at 200 lbs my goal still is to make it to the 190’s by next week.

I know where my down fall is and I know where my weakness’s are…They all chalk up to weekends and eating out…I am going to sit my husband down tonite (already told him I would like to talk to him) and explain that I would love his corpation(sp?) for this weekend on eating at home and not at restaurants and fast food joints just so I can see how much of a diff this will make with my weight loss…I know if I ask him for his help on this that he will help me with it.  

One of the things we have started doing is swaping lower fat versions of certain things like ground turkey instead of ground beef ( I thought I would never like ground turkey but it’s not bad) and turkey bacon for regular bacon(again very yummy and only 1pt a peice)  and ff sour cream instead of regular sour cream.   My husband has even put up with these swaps and seems to enjoy them as well…Yeahhhh!!

Hello Buddies,

I have said this before and I’ll say it again weekends and evening are the hardest for me.  I have got to figure out a way to make better choices over the weekends you see weekends ususally consist of my  husband and myself running errands and seeing family so this means running around morning till mid evening which means fast food and when socializing with family usually means going out to eat at restaurants..

I need to learn how to make better choices when going to these kinds of places I know what I need to do I just need to do it…I go in with the right intentions but once it comes to ordering I change my mind and get something not so healthy…

I now know this is something I seriously need to work on so since it is Saturday there is no better time.

Hello Buddies,

Happy Hump Day!   I wrote out a long and very good blog yesterday only for it to dissapear once again…grrrrr!   One day I will do what my smart buddies do and type it out in Word first. 

So I’m happy to report that I weighed in this morn at W/W and I’m down 1lb…I am finally back at my pre~holiday weight and feel like I can finally move on…I am right at the cusp of getting out of the 200’s….Been my goal since I started buddy slim.

I am also happy to report that I measured in at Curves on Monday and I lost 1inch in my arms 1inch in my waist and a 1/2 inch in my thighs (Yeahhhh me!!)  but the problem area which to me would be my tummy and hips I lost nadda, nothing zip!  That is discouraging but not enough to make me stop exercising or to go binge on food…Those are just the areas that I  would most love to loose many inches.  

Strange thing is I gained 1inch in my bust so I think she just measured incorrectly last mnth…I hope anyways!   

I now am at the stage in my exercise plan where I will start gaining muscle and not loose as much weight but loose inches instead…I’m trying to get this set in my head that it will be okay to loose inches instead of weight but let me tell you this is very hard to do as it it set in my head the oppisite way….So I may need your help on this one buddies because I will really be struggling with this issue for the next month…

It’s funny the topic for our W/W meeting this morn was exercise and the main concern of most the women in the room was this very same thing…Gaining muscle and not loosing weight…Our leader said it takes about 8 wks to start loosing weight again after starting a new exercise program…Anyone ever heard of this before??

Well I am outta here to go read some blogs,

    Hello buddies,

I have had 4 pair of old pants that are the next size down from what i have been wearing and I tried them on a month ago and they fit but were still to tight.   I thought I would try them on this morning thinking that there was no way they would fit yet…Guess what?  To my suprise they not only fit but are very comfortable…Yeahhhhh me!  I’m so happy and excited.

As you all know in  my first blog today I am going out for dinner tonite for my dads b~day so I have only had a baked potatoe with salsa and ff sourcream I am saving my points up for a little splurging tonite…Gotta tell you though I am soooooo hungry right now.

    Hello buddies,

Hope everyone has a great Saturday! 

It sucks that I can have so much control on the weekdays only to screw it all up on the weekends…As always I am working on it.  

I had 4 pcs of pizza last nite and 4 wings I did good at first turning it down but then buckled and ate twice as much as I should have…But I’m over it now and moving on….Tonite we are taking my dad out to dinner for his b~day so I am going to try and exercise control tonite.

Not much else going on this weekend so I will log on and talk to you all later.

P.S. My goal for this week is to loose at least 2lbs so I can get out of the 200’s….Wish me luck!

Omg!!!! So I type out the longest blog ever and it was a good one too…I post it and it’s nowhere to be found…WTF???  I have heard everyone comment on loosing theirs but this is the first it has happened to me…I now feel your frustrations…lol

I weighed in yesterday at W/W and I am down 7 tenths of a pound down not enough to register on my ticker but it will do.   I mean If I don’t work the W/W plan then what the heck do I think is gonna happen…rite?

I heard something on tv the other day that has stuck with me and I am using it as my tool for this week…They said “food is for fuel not for enjoyment” I don’t completely agree with this but for the most part it is true…So when ever I am having a craving or want to binge on food I think of that and it helps to control it. 

When I was in San Francisco this past weekend we wind up climbing a huge hill to get to a Fort that we wanted to check out let me tell you my buddies…My best friend and my 19yr old daughter were so out of breath it wasn’t funny…Me and my 15 yr old neice just sailed on up with barely a heavy breath…I was so excited and so happy….I know it is because of my workouts at Curves…My calf muscles were a little sore the next day but in a good way.

I bought a balance ball to use at home it was on sale at Target so I am excited and can’t wait to get it set up and start using it.

Stay well buddies and talk to you later,

Hello buddies,

Am I a total looser or are there other buddy slimmers looking forward to American Idol starting tonite?

Doing pretty good here tomorrow is weigh in day and not to sure how I did for the week had many treats but not as many as I would have liked so I feel alright about it as at least I am making a concious effort to cut way back…I only had one piece of fudge in San Francisco and my lunch so not bad at all considering when I get to places like that I just wanna eat everything in site…Kinda like when you go to a baseball game you just gotta have a corndog and a beer even if they are not something you normally love to eat.

I went to Curves last nite but won’t be able to make it tonite so I am kinda bummed about that…I wanna try to get in 5 days a week but life stuff just keeps getting in the way but at least I  have been able to average 3 days a week for Curves.

Happy Friday Buddies,

I weighed in on Wenesday morning and to my suprise I lost 1.6lbs of the 3.3lbs I gained from the holidays so yeahhhh me! 

I am so excited because my best friend and I are taking our daughters for a girls only road trip to San Francisco tomorrow we have been planning it for a couple of mnths and it is finally here…It will be so friggin cold there so gotta make sure we bundle up but it will be so much fun.

Hello buddies,

I still don’t seem to be able to get my eating under control…I do very well at work but once I get home and on the weekends I just loose it and have a free for all…What the hell is this?  I have gotten back on track with my exercising but just this one most important thing I can’t get under control.

You know what the weird thing is?  The last couple of days I have had a couple of co~workers say how good I look like they are not quite sure what it is that has changed about me but they know it is something.   I haven’t lost anymore weight and have added a few pounds back on…So I just don’t get it?  lol Maybe it is my new glasses that makes everything look so different.

lol..oh yeah I have been trying to grow out my finger nails since just before Christmas and I am doing a great job so far…I have never had finger nails and I detest them they always get in the way and are painful if you break one but I want my hands to look more girlie so I’m trying this out.   Wish me luck!

    Hello buddies,

Hope all is well…Not much going on but I am doing a little better with my eating but not completely there yet..I did go to Curves 3 times this week so got that down pat. 

I switched my weigh in days for Weight Watchers to Wenesday mornings instead of  Thursday nites…I did this for a few reasons one of which the person that does the Wenesday morning meetings is my favorite person he is sooooo cool and the other reason is because I would rather weigh in the mornings instead of nites to much room for error if you weigh in at nites.  I’m sure you all know what I’m talking about.
