Day 153 aka Picture Day!

Day 152

LOVING THIS BEAUTIFUL WEATHER! Swimming everyday is WONDERFUL! Walking the dogs in the morning. LOVELY! plus no "presents" found in the hall way.... :)

I couldn't wait till the 3rd and got on the scale any way.... It went back down BUT not below 200..... SO FRUSTRATING!!! Just a few days off the wagon kills your "diet". Seriously this is a diet because I am restricting calories. But I really didn't over eat, and gained 3 pounds? I know I'm lifting weights and gaining muscle. It weighs more than fat. My waist measurement went down! I fit perfectly into my SEVEN jeans again! ( not size 7 but the brand...I'd be over the moon if I fit back into size 7 jeans not since college for that size).

Time for the gym! Andi's torture hour a.k.a. total Body Work out.

I get to make a topsy-turvy cake! will be baking this afternoon!

Day 151 JUNE!

ZUMBA! Doggie walking! getting into the pool! MASSAGE LATER! WOO HOO!

Day 150

OK so I went to Power Pump, Diva Dance and Zumba yesterday plus i did laps in the pool. I burned over 1300 calories! BUT I over ate AGAIN. So I maintained pretty much I think I dropped ounces. This really, really sucks it seems i have to consume under 1300 to lose weight any more. I am building muscles. You really can see them in my arms. Every time I lose weight I hit the wall. Since I've been doing it for almost half a year it is wall time! It is extremely hard to eat right when everyone around is doing what they please food wise. So hard to keep your eyes on the prize when there is chocolate cover almonds to eat.... OK, so I had my fun back on the wagon once again. i just need to plan lovely healthy LIGHT food and no be tempted. It would be so lovely to be back in my size 14s and be able to breath too. I can put them on and zip them wearing them in public not so much unless camel-toe is the fashion statement I want to make. Guess I could wear them to Walmart and fit right in as one of their people.... I'm just 5 to 10 pounds away from wearing my new Zumba gear.

OK Goal set firmly in my mind now 190 is the promised land, well not quite, more like the next big rock in the river I'm trying to cross. if I get to it I can can get to 180, 170, 160, 150.....

No weigh in till the 3rd of June official anniversary day/picture day.

Day 148 & 149

BEER BUTT CHICKEN made it Saturday. DELICIOUS! recipes all over the web find the one you love! Mine was extremely simple! Just poultry rub and a bit of olive oil and a dark beer.

So I ate 1100 calories Saturday and got back to 200.4 Yesterday, Jim and I ate out for breakfast. We then had candy in the movie (Hangover II NOt as good as the first one). Chinese food for dinner ( I ate three pieces of food that was fried). I got on the scales this morning 203. Some is water weight and general puff from eating bad I might have had 2300 calories though I'm suppose to maintain at that level. What is this I'm never allowed to have fun any more? Guess I should not have got on the scales. I wish Jim would quit tempting me to be BAD. I have a weak will.....YUP all his fault! Hey, I spent at least a hour yesterday day doing laps in the pool still didn't save my butt....

Today I'm doing all the classes offered at the MAC. That should work that General Tao chicken and fried rice off my ass!

Day 147

Eat one Mexican meal out and gain a pound? I didn't even eat the flour tortillas, half the rice, or half the carnitas No Margarita's either. I still ended the day under 1800 calories unless I grossly under estimated the calories some how. I drank all the water I'm suppose to drink , more even. Maybe the sodium? Or I didn't get enough sleep. I was reading THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST till midnight, AWESOME book btw. I have bags under my eyes that have bags. Yesterday I didn't work off 1500 calories either one dog walk for 45 minutes. I'm sore though still from Wednesday & Thursday work. i just can't seem to break through stuck right around 200 up a pound down, a pound... IT IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING! I am just going to have to get stricter with myself. Plan every meal and not go over 1500 calories. No more snuck one or two chips... i just gotta keep moving..... no lost days reading or watching movies all day for a while........BLAH!

Day 146

200.8 still :( I'm not happy. I guess I should have been more careful during the "graduation" festivities though I really wasn't that bad. The weight wasn't coming off as fast or as well for some reason this month. I guess I'm going to have to try to be more active. The thought of just having 1300 calories a day makes me hungry just thinking of it. Yesterday I just did total body work out. Today I just walked the dogs, and rolled some fondant. I maybe walking again later. I have to do something else. Maybe the gym and lifting or cardio theater or 5:45 zumba....
Me in my new "sexy" dress and hair extensions. Easier than growing it! LOL!

Hare's hoping the scale numbers go DOWN tomorrow...
