Tomorrow's my official weigh in for the week day. I still weigh myself every day. Some say you shouldn't do this but for me, its a must. By weighing myself every day I can stick to my diet and exercise better. If go up, I try to exercise a little more and eat less fat. If I go down, it motivates me to continue doing what I'm doing. So today when I weighed myself I was exactly the same as when I weighed myself last Friday on my official weigh-in day. I've been extremely diligent about exercising daily. I took Thursday and Friday off from the treadmill but I rode my horse on Friday. Thursday was my only day off from no exercising.

I've noticed that my body is looking a bit different. I'm beginning to form a slight waist LOL Anyway, its my 2nd week (officially) so I'm not too concerned about the scale not moving. I hope it starts going down again next week.

Next week I'm going to focus on getting my carbs and fat quantities down a bit.

I'm experiencing a hate/love relationship with my treadmill workouts. I hate doing it but when its over I absolutely love the way I feel and I wouldn't give that up for anything. I have also noticed a huge difference in my moods. I think by giving up all the sugar and exercising more, my mood swings have nearly subsided.

I'm feeling way more positive today than I was yesterday. Even though I know we should not weigh ourselves daily, I do it! The scale is starting to move again. I find that if I don't weigh myself, I fantasize that the extra calories I'm consuming aren't affecting my weightloss. HA!! Hilarious right? I've been recording my treadmill jaunts in a Facebook application called I Just ran or something like that. So for the month of February I've already gone 32 miles on the treadmill. I'm wicked pleased with this because I really didn't start becoming a slave to my treadmill until about 10 days ago. It'd be really cool if the app for the iPhone would sync with the Facebook app. I read the reviews and it doesn't

So back to my weightloss journey. I tried on the pantsuit I wanted to wear to the Awards Banquet. Right now I can put the pants on, zip and button them but its tight and unattractive for a 51yo lady. I'm going to push myself on the treadmill and riding my horse. I still have 11 days to get more weight off before the banquet. I believe I can do this. I've asked a few friends if they think I can lose 10-15lbs in 2 weeks and of course no one thinks I can. I'm more concerned about losing the sizes. I'm currently a very loose 16 and a semi-tight 14. I need to be a 12. I CAN DO THIS!!

I'm 5'8" so I hide my pounds well because there's no part of my body that holds the weight more than other parts. This week I'm shooting for a 3lb loss. I wont be disappointed if I don't hit 3lbs because from watching the biggest loser, I see that the 2nd week is not as big as the first.

Ok I need to get to work. Love journaling my thoughts and although I've always had the access to journal my thoughts and feelings during a diet, this is the first time I've actually done it. IT HELPS!!

oh yeah, I have a new buddy - Babs. She's my age and we both have around the same amount of weight to lose. Its wonderful finding online friends to help with this journey

51yo and I've yet to know what its like to feel truly happy in love forever. I mean does it exist? I was married for 14 years and 10 of them were horrible. I've been in a relationship for 15 years and I can honestly say the first 6 were not great the next 7 were amazing but the last 2 have been boring. I feel like I'm a roommate not a partner. He gave me a ring but doesn't want to get married. Its no wonder I have weight issues because its like I dont deserve being in a loving relationship so why bother right? I'm trying really hard to do this for myself. Actually I'm doing this so that I don't look like a fat lard on my horse. My horse is so cute and he's trained amazing. Then when you see me with all the lumps I can only imagine that people are talking. Last year I lost 55lbs and looked much better on him. I have no clue why I gained all this weight back (about 30lbs). I mean I worked so hard to get down to that size. So many people were complimentary of me. I guess the problem is, the one person I really wanted the attention from didn't give it to me. I dont share with any of my friends how miserable I am with this man. Valentines day, I bought him a nice meal from a great Hibachi restaurant, found a very meaningful card and poured my heart out on it. Know what i got? Nothing!! Not even really a thank you. We don't even sleep in the same bed. Its so sad. I am beginning to think I should just move on. Problem is, now that he's lost most of my money in really bad investments, I can't really afford it.

I have never had someone who wants to spend time with me at my horse riding shows. I'm really very sad but I just need to remain focused on losing this weight. I just really would love to know why I can't find a man who will be proud of me, who will want to love me the way I love him, who will share my happiness, who will take care of me and allow me to take care of him. Thank goodness I have this journal so I can express my feelings because it does help to get them out.

I can't tell my friends because they'll end up encouraging me to leave or they'll be hating him. I'm sure they already dont think too highly of him. If I could just feel like he has some feelings for me. If he would just hold me and understand and be supportive.

Anyway, the scale stopped moving this weekend. I knew it would eventually because they say the first week is huge but the second week isn't as big a loss. I'm still working hard on the treadmill. I know I need to be more disciplined with my food. Its getting better. At least I'm not stuffing ice cream and other fatty foods. I am going over 1500 calories but with healthier choices. I need to train myself to eat less

Ok that's it for today. Glad I have you journal - i feel like now you're all I have
