Only 2 more days until next weigh in and I am STOKED... I feel very positive about the weigh in this week again. I have finally reached the point in this journey that I have very few slip ups and when I do, I really don't beat myself up for it as I know I am right back on track. It has taken over 2 months to get to this point, but it is almost like I have had an epiphany this week. I really wanted a 2nd helping of stuffing last night as I haven't had it in soooo long. so I made a deal w/ myself (I know... I need mental help!). If I took a 2nd helping, I had to do 25 extra crunches and 15 additional min on the treadmill... well, it was worth it.. yumm... well, bosses are in their way in so I can't play much at all today.... Stay thin and I will check in w/ everyone later..... smooches, Amy

Today is a GREAT day! Totally focused on task at hand. Did cardio last night, ate right and added some crunches to the mix. I really want to hit my 2nd mini-goal by the end of April and I know I can do it. On another note, my boss has me send out "motivational quotes" daily to our team and today I want to share 2 of them with my FS buddies...

BELIEF FUELS PASSION AND PASSION RARELY FAILS......BY MAC ANDERSON

IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERY DIFFICULTY COMES OPPORTUNITY...BY ALBERT EINSTEIN


I love the belief one as it is true... The more dedication and passion I put forth in this weightloss journey, the better I do daily. For years I tried every diet imagineable, but I truly am determined this time and refuse to fail ever again. Thanks to my wonderful FS buddies, even when I stray, they help me find my way back and refocus. I feel so much healthier with just a 24lb loss so far. It has made a difference in me mentally and I think I have finally come to terms with eating to live, not living to eat which has always been the way for me.

Sorry this is so long and sappy, but I truly feel for the 1st time in my adult life that have gained control of this and it is a truly awesome feeling.....

1.5lb loss this week. It's great... but wanted that 2lb so bad.... Will work even harder next week.Down a total of 24lbs now and only 13lbs more to my 2nd mini goal... going away tonight w/ hubby. 1st time w/ no kids in 2 years. Going to celebrate 10 yr anniversary.Friends have a lake house, but too cold for shorts/bathing suit which is VERY good. No where near ready for that challenge yet. I am still not seeing that much of a difference in clothes and really wish I would. Tops area looking a little tentish (is that a word?), but pants are only a little bit baggy in the bum area. Need to really focus on the muffin top I guess. Just started to ab stuff this past week. Such a long long journey....Staying focused.... have to... come to far already to turn back. Only looking ahead. Still shooting for hitting my final goal weigh by b-day in mid Oct. Thinking of joining Curves. It is about 2 min from work, so I could do it during lunch hour as I usually work through lunch daily. Was a member there a few yrs back and really enjoyed it.Maybe this time I sign up I will stick to it as I have this lifestyle change. Longest I have ever stuck to the "diet", but refuse, absolutley refuse to hit 40 and be this unhealthy. I want the kids to be proud of me, not embarrassed. Well, only working 1/2 day so we can take off and get to the lake. If I don't talk to my buddies today, stay thin, I am praying for all of us to stick it out and as Lossin' always says, "Keep movin".

I am excited about tomorrows weigh in... I wish it was today, but did not cheat and check the scale. I am getting better at that finally.... Have done perfect on the food front this week, done some ab exercises, but just got back on the treadmill last night for the 1st time in 2 weeks... What a difference not doing it for 2 weeks has made. I was huffing/puffing only 1 mile into it. Barely jogged at all. Can't let that much time go by again as it hurt so bad getting back to where I was. Lesson learned... Have a big work lunch today at a Mexican restaurant and just don't want to go.Tried to get out of it all week, but they are not hearing it. Why is it people can't respect the fact that you are working towards a goal and every bite that counts against it, I have no interest in right now. With weigh in tomorrow,and how strict I have been w/ food this week, only good stuff going in, I just can't imagine going.I am still going to try to weazel my way out...ugh...Thanks to Loosin' for the music suggestion instead of watching dr. phil while doing the treadmill. Did make a huge difference, plus I got to sing a whole bunch, which the family doesn't allow me to do (really bad voice..) Think thin buddies... we can do this...skinny girl is dancing today!
