Finally I'm down - honestly with everything I've been thru this last week I thought for sure the best I would see was the same. Finally to see myself in the 130's again, well I actually did more than a happy dance. This week of has certainly shown me a lot about me and my body and while I still learn and discover I am glad I am moving in the right direction (health first weight loss makes me happy)

Weigh-in: 139.6 lb

lost so far: 8.6 lb

still to go: 14.6 lb

Diet followed reasonably well

my journey right now is finding out what foods my body loves and certainly does not like
Interestingly today I discovered that a fruit smoothy (not a juice) has not agreed with me
I dont eat so much fruit normally and in this smoothy I put half each of lemon, grapefruit, orange, 1/4 avacardo and one very small banana - way more then I would normally eat in one sitting. So was it the amount that upset my tummy/digestion or something else?
And despite the banana I have a wicked craving for salt something I have not had in 4 weeks.
Hmmm me thinks right now fruit and me dont mix.
Oh well scratch that from the list and keep testing things out

had a great day yesterday - was certainly productive and I felt upbeat
Slept so well again I woke with a start to the alarm this morning
the sun is shining again so that is good - want so badly to be outside but I have lots of indoor stuff I need to get done. Will definitely get outside and walk though:)
Itching to get on the scale but promised myself that I would not stress about it any longer - I feel great and am happy with the way my body is starting to look so that is more important - trying to stick to the foods that make me feel great - that right now is what I want to focus on

well after a major melt down yesterday I have turned the corner and look forward to today.
The sun is shining, the birds are singing and I have a renewed energy to face what life will throw at me.
So today I will focus on drinking more water, eating healthy and letting the sun in

How is it possible for me to concentrate on weight loss if every thing around me is causing lots of stress.
Right now hubby is away for 3 weeks on business so I am the dual parent. Saturday was one of those crazy taxi mom days which started at 6am and didn't end till 10pm - seriously I drove over 200 miles in that day with all the driving I did with the kids. Of course I had kids to feed and with my son being a cyclist food is a big deal and I like to cook for them so I know they are getting good healthy food.
Sunday was a whole different matter - my day started at 5am driving my daughter to youth group and my son to another race only to find it is cancelled :( - once home I checked the sump pump to ensure all was working and to my horror it was not! Seriously it was 6.30am on a Sunday and I had a total melt down. Hubby was on the phone but was no help, I was on my hands a knees scooping water out of the well and all I can say it went from bad to worse. Water was seeping onto my carpet and none of the tools I needed were anywhere to be found. Thankfully my neighbors came and helped setting up a small pump and helping get my shop vac to work so I could suck the water up from my carpet
Of course I spent the day walking back and forth with buckets of water from the well cause the little sump pump could not keep up - and spent last night waking every 2 hours to switch the sump pump off or on so give it a break cause if it broke too I was in really deep water.
So this morning I am exhausted, my arms and legs hurt from all the walking and carrying of buckets of water, my mind is fuzzy and yes the poor little sump pump has finally said good night. It is still pour rain outside and as I get the last of my children off to school I am off to homedepot to buy a replacement pump so perhaps I can sleep tonight. Of course I will still have to disconnect the old one and reconnect the new one!
So hence no weigh in for the last few days - no food recording either - I hope today I can get back on track and eat well cause really dont want to continue like this.
Sorry about the rant and rave - I needed to get that off my chest - feel better now - thanks all
