less points, more filling

So I now can have one less point each day since I have lost more weight. (pretty much every ten pounds my points go down, this won't happen forever, but for a while). This may not seem like a lot, but really it is. It takes a little bit of time to get used to, but that is what flex points are for! (these are 35 extra points that you get in a week, I like to call them the just in case points)

I am so excited because this weekend Justin and I are going to take some clothes to be altered! You have no clue how good that feels to not just keep the fat clothes just in case.

Drum roll please....

I lost 5.6 pounds this week!!!!!! Whoo Hoo!!!!!! That makes the total 36.8 pounds!!!!! I am so pumped!!!!!!!!! I got a gold 5 star to remind me that I made it another 5 pounds!!! Eek, I am so excited!!!

No more water!

I have finished my water for the day! I usually try and stop drinking water around 4ish on my weigh in days. That way by the time I weigh I can use the restroom first and weigh less then if it were still in my system. (I hope that isn't too gross sounding) My day today was pretty busy this morning, but now it is 3:30 and I have nothing to do at work! I don't know why we have been so slow lately, but hey I ended up going to the Weight Watchers website and if you are a member you can do some online video work outs! It was fun. But you can only exercise so much before you absolutely get worn out!

Have I mentioned today that I have a wonderful husband? Well I do! Last night I made grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner (I know so gourmet) and of course his turned out ok, but I burnt mine! I was kind of upset the rest of the night. He later asked me how many points I had left and I said 9 and he asked if I wanted him to go and get me a hot fudge sundae from McDonald's (which I have been wanting for a while, but haven't had points for when I wanted it)! So of course I took him up on that offer! He is so wonderful! I love him very much, I hope that you women out there can find one as good as him, only I am afraid I have the best one out there, so you will have to settle for second best!

Lunch time...

So the girls at work are going to Wendy's today, I politely declined and I am currently heating up my Healthy Choice meal of Herb chicken with potatoes and veggies. I figured since it is weigh in day and all, I should really be good. I have the points for Wendy's but Justin and I always celebrate my weight loss by going out to Applebee's or someplace that I know the points at.

We did Dance Dance Revolution again last night! My legs sure are filling it! I guess that is a good thing. Well I am off to eat and then walk for 20 minutes. This day should be a good one. I am really excited about weighing in tonight! Hopefully, I won't be disappointed.

Not easy...

So I was on my way to work this morning and I realized that this weight loss thing is not going to be easy. I gave in this morning and weighed on my home scales, it looks good. The thing is though, I have been working really hard this week. Working out two times a day, keeping track of my points, blah, blah, blah! It hasn't been easy! And there won't be a point in my life were I can just not do this, if I stop I will start to gain it back. It is tough. But I must keep going and not give up. Today I have already had half of my first 32 ounces of water. And it is barley even 9am! I weigh in tomorrow so I will be able to give you an answer on whether or not all this has paid off. I am sure it has!

Another one down

Another good day. I danced tonight with Justin, by brilliant husband. That was fun, except I ended up tearing my pants! Not because I didn't fit in them, but because they were pulled in a weird direction and then I bent over! Agh, that was one of my last pair of scrub pants that fit good! I guess it is time to go ahead and get my larger ones altered! Whoo hoo! So now that I have shared an embarrasing moment with you all I will end this blog. Feel free to leave comments too, I would love to know that you were here! Sleep well.

On a role!

So far so good today! I walked again at lunch for 20 minutes. Last night Justin and I did Dance Dance Revolution for about 15 minutes, so that was good! Once again I ate my healthy choice meal that I brought. It was good, but it was 9 points, which I think is high for a lunch. But it was still good. Ok, well I am going to go back to work now. Enjoy your day! I know I will :)

Well Done!

So today I did well! I counted my points all morning, which it seems as though I eat the most between breakfast and lunch. You would think I would eat more between lunch and dinner, hmm. Oh well. Ok, so counted my points...I ate what I brought for lunch, a healthy choice meal. Then I walked for about 20 minutes after I ate. It was great. Then for dinner I went to Chili's with the Women's Bible Study from Church. Chili's is great since they are in my Weight Watchers book. I got Chicken Fajitas and instead of using tortilla's I used lettuce. It was yummy! I did give in and eat some chips and salsa before our food came. I am not sure how to count that as points. I am hoping that when Justin gets home he will want to do a little dance, make a little oh wait a minute lets keep it PG! Seriously though Dance Dance Revolution is awesome! I think everyone should buy it!!!!! Ok, that is all for now. I am just waiting for my hubby to get home from his men's Bible study. I am not usually home before him, you know women, we can TALK!!

doing good

So thus far today I have done well. I have kept track of my points and after lunch I walked for 20 minutes! I also remembered to park in the farthest parking space today at work. I usually feel better after walking and today is no exception! I wish I would just remember that on the days I don't feel like walking. It really gives you a boost of energy, and it is safer than an energy drink! :) I am realizing that this blog is more for my sake. It is helping me, kind of like a journal, only everyone has access to it! Seriously though it has been nice.

Lovely Day

Today was a beautiful day! The weather was wonderful and I did well with watching my points. I had a salad at Johnnies, which by the way was wonderful! Then for dinner I had a BBQ chicken sandwich with potato wedges from KFC. Plus Justin and I got to go swim at my mom and Steve's house, which was very nice since it was HOT outside.

So I discovered that I do my best thinking while at night while trying to go to sleep. The bad thing is, is that once I get to a point that I can sit down at the computer and type it all out, I can't remember a single thing I thought. So tonight my goal is to try and remember what I think of while in bed, perhaps I should write it down so I can share my wonderful wisdom with all of you. Or perhaps that is why God doesn't let me remember, because it is not so wise!

I know I am supposed to be writing about my weight loss journey and all, but I would just like to add a side note here...I love my husband! He is truly the most wonderful man in the world. All my life I have prayed that God would provide me with a Christian man, but Justin has surpassed all my expectations. For instance, he currently is memorizing Bible verses and has already memorized at least 12 or so. He is amazing. I love him, I love him, I love him! Oh, and to make this about my weight loss, he constantly encourages me with this. He tells me that he loves me regardless of if I lose or not. By the way, he has a blog too, and you can see the link to it on the side of my page. You should read it!
