oct 8th - 2011

oct 9 - 3 is the magic number. not bad, not bad. this weekend is tough being thanksgiving. tomorrow i'm going out for turkey dinner. it's bound to be hard to hold back, it always smells so good. but i'm getting really close and quickly running out of time so i need second helpings of willpower, not mashed potatoes and gravy. mmmmm gravy. i think i'm in trouble. back in ten, hoping to give thanks for losing three more pounds!

sept. 28- 2011

sept 29 - just what i was afraid of, 4 lbs i gained since i went away to the wedding!  wow, that's gonna be hard to get rid of in ten days. i started this weekend with salads for lunch but that's not enough. once again, and i sound like a broken record here, but time to re-group. i'm thinking "cabbage soup" for supper for the next month. i actually kinda like that soup so that won't be so bad. just a little over two months to get rid of 8 more lbs. i have to do it, i'm soooooo close.
back in ten, probably not 4 lbs less but hopefully at least 2

sept 21 - well, i'm going to cheat a little. i knew i was going away for a wedding so i weighed myself early and so i'm saying another 2 lbs gone. now that i'm back i'm sure i found that 2 lbs and then some but i'll soon take care of that. it was a great weekend and i enjoyed every bite of all the goodies. life is short and all that - back in ten, well, more like 7 now
back on track - D.

sept 9th, 2011

sept 9th - lost 2 lbs, finally. i do believe however, that i'm probably just about done. i will continue to check in every ten days til nov. and still try to get to my goal of 50 lbs but i'm not as confident anymore. i've tried to start over and i've been going for walks or going to yoga on my days off but it's not making much of a difference. i haven't totally given up. i'm still taking salad and applesauce for my lunches this weekend, so who knows. focus, focus, focus. i'm sooooooo close!
back in ten, i know i can, i know i can - D.

aug 30 - arghhhhhhhhhhhh gained a lb, bugger! my own fault, i ate out three times, ooops. oh well what's done is done. today i went for a good long walk. i love walking this time of year seeing all the gardens, people have such cool ideas. back to nights tomorrow so i'm going to try to cut back a bit more on my lunches again. less cookies, even though they're sugar-free and more applesauce. and i've pretty much cut out snacks for my breaks except maybe an apple or grapes.less than three months left to get to fifty lbs. i was ahead of schedule at one time but not now. i'll really be  ready to give up if i gain again in the next ten days. time will tell
back in ten - D.

august 19-2011

aug.20 - finally! just one lb lost but at least i did't gain. i was really really getting annoyed at myself. today i haven't done so well, eating out and then it was movie night so i had nachos and dip- mmmmm yummy. that'll be my big treat for the week end. so i hope can stay on track and not go backwards anymore.
we'll see
back in ten, maybe another lb gone - D.

aug 9 - 2011

aug 11 - late signing in because i couldn't log on. not that it matters, nothing, no gain no loss. cr.....ap. i'm sounding like a broken record. time to regroup and start fresh. chicken with brown rice and salads for my lunch and supper all weekend at work, step one. treadmill and yoga today, step two. phew. monday i have an appointment to have my iron, cholesterol etc checked. i'm eager to see if cutting back on red meats has made any difference. if not, it's burgers every night! with weight watchers buns of course.
back in ten, not gonna say one lb less just hopefully not any more - D.
