Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

Had my WI today!! And I'm down 3, yes ladies and gentlemen I said 3, fricken' pounds!! I'm SOOO happy right now! That's 5 lbs in the last two weeks!! I'm figuring I'll stay the same or have a little gain next week, but that's okay! As long as I have the odd good WI I'll be a happy camper!! :-) Last night was Belly Dancing.. It was about the middle of class and we were practicing our front and back (they have a fancier name), figure 8's and my teacher starts coming over!! I'm WAY at the back of the class, so all these thoughts start flying through my head.. "Is she coming over here?", "nooo she'll go the other way", "wait a second she IS coming over here!", "maybe she's coming to talk to the girl beside me", "OH NO she's coming to talk to me!", "what am I doing wrong???" lol! It was like high school all over again!! But it was all good.. She came over to me and whispered quietly about how beautiful my figure 8 was! And she said, "seriously, I noticed it all the way across the room, beautiful job." I was stoked!! Now, this was only my 3rd belly dancing class, so I'm still at the point where NOTHING feels right to me.. I do what she says and follow her movements and HOPE that I'm doing it right.. So her feedback was SO confidence building for me!! She's a great teacher! LOVE bellydancing!! :-)

First Pay!!

So I got my first check yesterday! It felt awesome!! And guess what I got?? ~pause for dramatic effect~ I gots me a new camera!!! lol!! It's pretty and it's pink and I LOVE it!! So hopefully soon I'll figure out how to use it and get up some new pics!! I actually wanted to take a picture of my camera to post in here, but I'm still trying to figure out how to go about that.. lol!! I'm hoping that I'll keep having losses with WW, and that I'll have lots to take pics of.. :-) And thanks everyone who left comments about my WI! Wheebs, Amanda and Kathryn, you girls ROCK!! :-)

Awesome WI!!

So I got on the scale this morning and I was down 2 lbs!! Yay!! I'm SOOO psyched!! I've been fighting to get below 238 for a while now, but because of Christmas and TOM it hasn't happened.. But now I am officially 236, which means that I've also lost a total of 21 lbs.. Just a start, but I have to celebrate each victory, big or small!!

Got my first Belly Dancing skirt/scarf, thingy!!

Yeah, so I'm not exactly sure what it's called!! lol!! I just know that it's lavender coloured and pretty.. It's got the lil gold coins along the V at the back and along the top that folds over a little on my hips.. It does a really nice job accentuating my 'spare tire', lol! Seriously though, I love it, and I love making it jingle!! Someday I'll have to take a pic of it and post it so everyone can see!! I'm a total glutton for pretty things!! lol!! WI is tomorrow!! Keeping my fingers crossed that I'll actually have a loss!! :-) Okay, off to bed for me, I'm SOO sleepy, and I have a long night at work tomorrow.. xo

To my faithful readers..

I'm beginning to bore even myself.. Because of this I've decided not to post everyday, cuz my life just isn't THAT interesting.. lol!! When I have something to say that isn't a snorefest, or a new pic to put up I'll post.. Thanks!~xo

This is a picture of my baby puppy, and her lil ducky.. I just had to put it on here cuz she's SOOO darn tootin' cute!!!

Nothing Exciting Today

So, today was my 2nd day at work.. I'm still really enjoying it.. I don't eat much when I'm there and am on my feet all the time, so I'm hoping I'll start to see some weight come off a bit quicker than it has been.. I certainly feel lighter!! lol!! That's all for today..

My First Day

So my first day was awesome! It went really well and I really enjoyed it.. I feel like I'm learning things quickly and should have most of it down in no time!! :-) I took the Points Test again at WW to see if my daily points allowance would chance with the new activity level.. Sure enough, I went from 28 points to 31 points.. I think I'll only eat the 31 points on the days I work a lot of hours, like today, and eat 28 points on my days off.. I was on my feet for 7 hours straight today!! And I had been planning on exercising but my feet are just too sore.. I did buy a new pair of expensive running shoes (black of coarse) to wear, hoping that they'd help my feet a little bit.. I know I just need to get used to being on my feet for that length of time again, but at this weight it'll probably take a little bit.. Honestly, I just know that now that I'm more active I'm going to see a difference in the scale and I CANNOT WAIT!! lol!! OHH, I almost forgot!! Today was my weigh in, and I lost 3 lbs, which I'm SOO Happy about!! It's all downhill from here!! Yay mee!! lol!! Well I'm back in for another long shift tomorrow 8-4.. I can't wait til I get my first check!! :-)

GOT THE JOB!!!!! :-)

I just heard back and I start training tomorrow morning for the Cust. Service/Photo lab!!! Yay!!! I start at 9 am which I'm a lil worried about cuz I have a hard time getting to bed early sometimes.. I'll have to start a new routine!! I'm SO excited!! I already know what I'm going to wear and everything!! They do have uniforms, and I think we have to tuck the shirts in, so that'll be extra incentive to loose weight.. As for WW I'm feeling pretty positive.. I just wish that not every party or event had to revolve around food.. I feel like all of my hard work has been for naught and I'm sick of having to be around people and they're yummy food.. I'm starting to resent it all, I think.. Mostly I think that I'm mad at myself for not being able to say no to things.. At my friends birthday I was happy with what I ate, I stayed OP, and they were MY choices.. But there are times when you just don't have a choice and that kinda burns my ass.. And now I have to deal with working and eating at work.. Like tomorrow, do I bring food?? Grrr.. So I'll have some adjustments to make.. And I'm going to start avoiding the places and events that have food that I don't want to eat.. It's worth it to me to avoid those situations.. I've quit a lot of bad habits over the years, but this food thing has got to be one of the most frustrating.. When you quit smoking do you have someone waving a cigarette in your face?? Usually not.. Okay, rant done!! lol! I'm going to workout! :-)

Had a great weekend!!

Friday night was my Moms retirement party.. We went out to a lovely little restaurant for dinner.. I had the Maple Chipolte Salmon and OMG, it just melted in my mouth! It's been a long time since I've ate food that was like a party in my mouth.. lol!! It was so much fun! And she enjoyed herself so much.. Then last night I had a slumber party with my two bestfriends.. It was one of their 30th birthdays and because she's also 4 months pregnant we decided to have an old fashioned sleepover.. We ate great food, pizza for me, had amazing raspberry cheesecake, played Trivial Pursuit and watched a couple of movies.. Then we all fell asleep in my living room around 2 am.. It was great!! And eye opening for me.. I always think you need to drink to have that much fun, but we had more fun than I've had in a long time! I managed to stay completely OP's the entire weekend, and I tracked everything!! I even still have 4 flex left for tonight if I want them.. My weigh in is on Tuesday though, so I'll need to start being a little more careful, and I REALLY need to get my water into me! I only drank 1.5 L yesterday AND I was hungover.. lol!! Here's to lazy, hazy days, good food and AMAZING friends!!

Yay!!!

I'm having a GREAT day today!!! I had a job interview this afternoon that went very well.. I don't know if I'll get it, but I know that I represented myself extremely well, and I know they liked me.. I was applying for a position in the Cosmetics Dept. but because there's a lot of squatting and kneeling, things I can't do with my leg, they said I might be better as a cashier, which would be okay.. But then as they got to know me they said that I had a calming way with people, and that I was very personable and said I might do very well in the Customer Service/Photo lab dept.. So I'm really hoping for the Customer serv. job.. But really I'd be happy to get any job! Once these lbs come off I'm going to want to buy lots and lots of clothes!! Speaking of lbs, it's not my weigh in day, but I hopped on the scale anyway and I'm down 3 lbs!! Which means that I've officially lost everything I gained over Christmas, and I'm not sick anymore!! DOUBLE YAY!!! Now, if I can stay OP's this weekend I should have a loss on Tuesday.. I have my Moms retirement dinner tonight, which I'm a little worried about.. They picked the menu, but I've been assured that there will be healthier choices available.. And tomorrow night is my bestfriends birthday.. I'm treating myself to pizza, which I can eat and still be OP and not use flex either.. But we're having Cheesecake.. The jury is still out on whether I'll have any of that.. lol!! So I'm finally back in the position to loose some major weight, and I'm so excited!! It just goes to show that if you stick it out, no matter what, that you WILL see results!! :-)

A New Day

So today is a new day, and I'm still feeling kinda down.. I know it's my hormones going crazy, but ya can't help the way you feel!!! So I think I figured out the problem with my pictures, it only wants to post my FAT pictures!!! Grrr!! I have a couple pre-accident pics I really wanted to post, but nooo.. lol!! So I'm going to post them.. I'm just still a little annoyed that I can't figure out how to have a place 'just' for pictures.. My WW goals for today are to stay OP the whole day, drink my 3L and just try to be positive and keep my chin up.. Tomorrow is my interview, and I'm still worried, but I think I'll do okay!! I talked to my girls last night and they helped a lot.. Okay, sorry for the super boring post!! lol!!

Arrgghhhh, blogging is frustrating!!!

So, today was quite the day!! I got a phone call about a job interview on Friday that I'm totally stressed about!! It's been years since I've been to a job interview!! Augh.. It's for a position at the cosmetics counter at a grocery store.. I'm a girly girl, so I think I'd be good at it.. Then, the technician from Dell came and fixed my computer for me.. YAY!! So I have all my pics uploaded onto my computer, but of coarse, for some reason my blog won't upload them!! Well, it uploaded one of my fat pics, that I do want on here, but not right on the first page.. What I would like is to have a link to pictures and then have a page with all of them, but I can't figure out how to do it!!! So yes, I'm frustrated, and if I could kick this blog without hurting my computer I'd totally be doing it!! lol!
On a WW note, today was frustrating.. I know that those 3 lbs were beyond my control, but I'm still feeling like I'm getting no where.. There are all these yummy chocolate things in the other room, cookies, truffles, chocolate bars, all kinds of yummy stuff.. And the little devil on my shoulder is saying, go ahead, you're not getting anywhere anyway.. SOOO frustrating!! Obviously I'm trying to ignore it.. I've been OP all day, I've almost gotten my 3L drank, and I worked out and earned 7 AP's today, so I'm trying!! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!!

Well I was right!

I was up today!! 3lbs.. I'm a little angry just that TOM couldn't have come 'after' my weigh in, but I know that next weeks' weigh in will make up for it.. I'm just more impressed with myself for staying on points.. I haven't seen a loss for about a month now because of TOM, Christmas (took too much time off points), and now TOM again, and I'm still on program.. That's amazing to me! Normally when discouraged I would just say screw it and eat whatever I wanted, and I'm not doing that, in fact it hasn't even been a question for me! It just took this bad WI for me to realize how commited I am to WW. So even though I'm disappointed, I'm also really proud of myself and that's what will motivate me for the next week.

Worried about WI tomorrow

So, I'm having an endo (endometriosis) flare up.. Grrrr.. When I get sick it's like everything swells! Already I've put on two lbs since it started.. I'm SO mad!! Last time I was sick I actually put on 10 lbs, just from everything my body goes through.. Basically I take birth control pills to control it, but I'd forgotten to take them for a while, and ended up getting sick last month.. I've been taking them religiously since I screwed them up, but because they're so low dosage I guess I'm having a little backlash.. Anyway, I know I'll be in the clear next month, and after that as long as I keep remembering to take my pills.. But, my weigh in is tomorrow, so I'm thinking I'm going to be WAY up this week which is SOOO frustrating because I've been so good.. I'm trying to think of it in a positive light, like even if I'm up it'll just mean a bigger loss next week, but I know it's not going to help tomorrow when I step on and see that gain..

Oh a lighter/happier note, I had my very first belly dancing class tonight!! Although it was a great time I have to say first that I fell in the mud on the way in.. lol!! So I ended up walking into the class with mud from head to toe.. Ahh, well, everyone falls right?? So anyway, the class was AWESOME!! I had SO much fun! We started off just learning some different basic moves and practised them for a while.. Then we actually learned the first little part of the dance routine will be learning.. And we were sent home with the music and steps so we can practice on our own. I really want one of the belly dancing skirts they have.. There are so many different colours, and they're only $50, but right now that's a lot for me, so I'm gonna have to wait for a little bit, I think.. I cannot wait until next Monday!! I wish belly dancing classes could be everyday!! lol! :-)

Sooooo sleepy!!!!

I so want to just move on to bed but I thought, this is my first day with my new blog, I should say something!! lol!! Don't have much to say though!!! I had a wonderful day, and stayed completely On Points the entire day!! Come to think of it, I've been really really good all week! I hope the scale is good to me on Tuesday (weigh in day)! I spent most of my day cleaning, which lead to more cleaning.. Lotsa fun!! And very good for Activity points!! :-) Tomorrow is my first day of belly dancing classes, I can't wait!! I hope that I don't suck too badly! Well, I think it's time for bed.. From now on I'll try to post earlier in the day! Thanks to the people who have left comments! I get SO excited everytime I see a new one!! lol!! And thanks to all my girls at the GDT! I love all of you SOO much!! Totally couldn't be doing this without you!! And definitly wouldn't have this blog without you!! You rock!! :-)

This is the only photo I have available right now.. I'm having such a hard time getting the ones I scanned onto my computer (long story). Anyway, this is me after a day in the sun with margaritas. It was my bestfriends bachelorette party, lots of fun was had!! Pic was taken in July/06

Can't wait to get this finished, this blogging is hard work!! I wonder if I get any AP's for it? lol!! Hee hee..
