167.8

Woohoo! I'm down 4.4 now! Yippee! Wow I better keep this up.

You know what else is good for weight loss... the stress of planning a wedding. Oakland County and the surrounding area - nothing but a rip off when it comes to receptions. The prices are F-in insane. Not to use foul language but it's so true. I was so excited about this one place and then I find out that the price on the drinks is not per person but per drink sold. Now 200 people at a wedding with the cheapest drink being $3.50 for water or pop. Tell me they are not trying to screw me and other brides to be over! It's outrageous! Every place has a different angle to stick it to you. Perhaps I should open my own reception hall and kick all there butts.

Ok.. that's enough for now :) I must go into happy bride-to-be mode and get some work done.

toot-a-loo caribou!

168.8

Well, well, well... Monday I was 172.2 today I am 168.8 - that's a 3.4 pound difference in like 2 days. How does that happen? I guess staying below 1200 calories and excercising my butt off... Actually I have not been pushing myself as much as I should or could but at least I am getting off my big fat lazy butt!

Wedding plans are driving me bonkers! I just want to book a place already so we can set an official date. ARGH!!! Although some ideas and plans I think are set but we need the main ones to fall into place. It's frustrating. There are so many places to see and it sucks when you have to deal with a budget! That's life I guess.

Well I have to get focused and get some work done. Take care everyone!

SHE'S ALIVE!!!

Yup that's right - I'm alive and kicking (just like little Logan!) Who's Logan you may ask- well we found out my sister is having a boy and she is going to name him Logan or wiggleworm...

Well I fell off the weightloss wagon really bad. I was doing great and then my Grandma passed away on April 24th and I fell into somewhat of a downward eating spiral... I went back up to 175 but am happy to say I got back on the dieting wagon on Monday, July 9th. I have a big HUGE incentive. I need to fit into a white dress for an April wedding! Yup Scott popped the question on July 3rd. I of course said yes and now I refuse to go dress shopping until I drop 15-20 pounds. Can it be done you masy ask and my response is - without a doubt! My best pal Barb has started a weightloss program herself and she has lost 9 pounds in 3-4 weeks. YAY! So by labor day I'll have lost at least 15 and maybe I can start looking in the middle to end of September. YAY ME! I'm gonna be a bride and have a wedding.

My new method is excercise and try and watch my calories. I am trying to stay at 1200 but 1400 tops for special days. It's really not too hard. Anyway, I better get back to work... but I am really going to try to be better at posting!

165.6 YES!!!

Woo hoo! Weigh to go! And I am not even doing the weigh to go program anymore. They lied to me and said it was free and then they wanted $90. I said no way Jose... I'll do it on my own and look I am! When was the last time I saw 165? I have absolutely no idea!!! YIPPEE! HOORAY! WAHOO! Go Robin Go Robin Go!!

I have been eating less but more imprtantly have been excercising more. Drinking milk and eating more protein (Hard boiled eggs mmmm....) and I have been eating Clif bars for breakfast, which are protein based mostly. I look better and feel better! I am going to so kick someones butt who thinks I can't do this! Pooh on you, you hear me! I know it has taken me a while to get started but now that spring is in the air I have some spring in my step and you better watch out!

Sorry... I'm a little pumped!

Well have a fantastic weekend everyone and a sunshine day! I'm out!!

167.something

I cant remember what the point was. My morning was rudely interrupted by Hoops, better known as Poops, because that is all he does! Poop, poop, poop, poop, poop! He won't go outside either, no because it is too cold out there, so he goes in his crate instead! Argh! He is so cute but such a handful at the same time. He is putting a damper on my excercise plan when I thought he would be a help! Well he is helping me clean more, not what I want to clean though!

So I am adhering to the WTG plan pretty well, at least I am not going over the amount of food I am supposed to have, I am under, which perhaps is my problem. I store fat because I don't get enough of what I am supposed to have. Who knows...

Well that is all I have to say for now. I have to get back to work, which seems like pleasure compared to what I have to do at home these days! Who knew! And I want to be a Mom someday. Ha!

I'm out...

168.4

Well 169.4, but that was with my pj's on! So I am down a few pounds. Hooray for me! I have been given a meal plan, which is really more like guidelines, from the WTG program I am on. It is based on the amount of calories I am supposed to need and it just tells me how many servings of each food group I am supposed to eat each day. Serving sizes are a lot smaller that most of us realize. Except the vegies, those are huge! Did you know that 1 little cup of pasta is actually 3 servings worth! Just say no to the Olive Garden I guess! It's crazy!

I am going to get an excercise plan at my next visit, which unfortuately is further out than I had hoped so I just set some goals until then. 3 minutes of crunches and other ab work and the elliptical 3x a week for 15-20 minutes. My food goals are to meet at least 5 vegie servings at least 5 times a week and to drink at least 1/2 of my water requirement and to adhere to the plan the best I can everyday! The girls I work with there are great! They are so nice and positive.

I am getting a new piece of excercise equipment tomorrow also. It is called a puppy! Yup I am going to be a mom to a little boy puppy! Yay! I can hardly wait! He is a Boston Terrier and I don't know what I am going to name him yet. Any suggestions?

Isn't he cute!!!

Well I better be getting back to work before my bosses slap me silly :)

Toot-a-loo Caribou!

170 and holding

Although in my head I am saying 133.... I am trying to think positive for a change. I am so used to thinking negative about things, it's no wonder I don't achieve things. My new philosophy on life... believe and you can achieve! Corny I know. I have listened to "The Secret" you know the current craze sweeping across the U.S. and while some of it is questionable I find that it still is a good way to think and be. Nothing good ever came out of being negative so I am going to believe that I can achieve whatever I want and eliminate any doubt and negativity from my thoughts and actions. I will be 133 before next year. I couldn't decide between 130 or 135 so I said 133!

I had my appointment with the WTG program today. (Weigh to go) It was good but somewhat dissapointing. I am all raring to go but today was mostly just informational so I need to go back twice next week. Once for nutrition and once for excercise! I am so glad the program is free! Yay! More money for me!!!

Well it is super sunny out and near 70 and it is 5:20 so I am heading out to enjoy this beautiful glorious day! Thank you God!!

I'm out -
