My throat hurts...

So I went a LITTLE off the diet to get a Chai Tea Latte (skim)...

Other than that - I have been SOOOOO good.  I have not eaten a SINGLE thing offered at SIA and have not gone out once.

Those of you who know SIA know how hard that is!

I LOVE mini-corn dogs...

I blame American...

So - my lugguge (containing all my food) was lost...

I TRIED to be good - and pretty much did ok, until the night.  I was tired, stinky and in need of my clothes...

On the bright side - bag came, I stuck to the plan and worked out today.

BTW - let's talk about how awesome it is to present to 300 people in something you have worn for 48 hours, not brushed your teeth and have ZERO make-up on.

Did I mention they have your face on a large screen.

It was AWESOME!!!

I was SOOOOOO super hungry yesterday, so I went a LITTLE off plan.  A little too much cheese, pretzels and buckeyes.

ARGH - I need more self-control for when I'm super hungry!

Tips, por favor!

Unexpected Turn...

So I flew to DC yesterday because Amy's grandfather died.  I packed all my food and Amy has been awesome support the diet!

That's about it....

I do not want to be a mother!

So I have a new employee who is not "cutting the mustard" - something that she has been made aware of...

So - if you had been put on notice by your management, would you do any of the following?

1.  Spend an excessive amount of time getting a doctors waiver so you can fly first class?
2.  Show up late to a meeting I have called because you were getting a health screening by the company (NOT mandotory - optional "wellness" service they provide"
3.  Send me an email asking if she needs to catch the last flight out to return as it would cause her to get home after midnight, and since she is traveling on Sunday, may she offset her time?

This sent me OVER the edge.  Classic recipe to eat.  BUT instead, I kept my training appointment, pretended that I was stomping on her face or punching her with every move and ate well.

Also, I weighed myself RIGHT after I ate, and I still showed a loss of .9 lbs.

For some reason I am SUPER DUPER hungry today, but I'm going to fight it!

Get Loose Now!

So I stayed late at work and didn't work out when, but I kept on track eating wise, and although the scale does not show it, my clothes are looser and people haver commented!  Yay!

Last night though, I would have torn about my house for something substantive - all I could eat was jello and that was not cutting it.  I finally settled on a few pieces of cheese, which gave me the toots all night.

Serena was not amused.

Busy, busy!

Been trying to post all day and have been SUPER busy.  Hope to get home tonight in time to do some swimming, but we'll see.

Sorry - crunched for time and boring today/

Balance????

Ok, so I GUESS the blog is serving its purpose seeing as I MAJORLY fell off the wagon, and preceded to get mad at every member of my family as they all asked me how I was doing.  Part of me hates that it seems like that's all they talk about, but the other part of me knows it comes from a good place and is trying to keep my accountable.

You see, I have a problem with balance - not only when I walk, but in my life in general.  I am a total extremist - its all or nothing with me!  So, I had a majorly difficult (not in a bad way) few days at work, and I was working out several times a day.  Then I crashed.  2 days at home, eating badly and watching TV.  Fortunatly I have not gained weight, but I have not lost any either.  I HAVE caught up on Lost, so there is a brightside.  My brother called on Sunday to make sure I didn't fall into the Valentine's blues - which was funny because I was back on track at that point and had not even thought about it.  Seriously, I REALLY like being alone (I know this is impossible for non-alone people to believe, but its true).  I was not sad in the slightest I did not have a "Valentine".  I get to hold my own remote.

So my brother said that he doesn't care how much I weight and if I were a "Jolly Fat person" he would be fine, except I not happy.  That, and I might get thrown off of Southwest Airlines (another reason to fly American).

Anyhow, my trainer helped me come up with a balanced work-out schedule, so hopefully I don't wear myself out there...

Work is another matter - so keep yelling at me and asking me how I'm doing.  I may not like it, but its working.

That makes me feel better

I went a little crazy eating - but then my trainer reminded me that I had worked out everyday - and I fit into a jacket I had not been able to get into a month ago!

Baby steps~

You've Got a Long Way to Go!

Yes, that is what someone told me when I told them I'd lost 8lbs.

Talk about support!

Oh well, I'm not doing it for them - I'm doing it for me!

The Ultimate!

So I saw a commercial for the Ultimate Cheeseburger from Jack in the Box and I actually started to salivate like a dog!  You would have thought it had been MONTHS since I had eatedn anything.

But, I was good (but I swear - when I hit one of my goals, the ultimate is SO getting in my belly!) and -IT PAID OFF!!!

8 LBS!!!!  I have been working my ass off, but I am finally seeing some results and that helps.  My Wii Fit age yesterday was 27.  It was pretty funny watching my fat Mii do a back flip!

I did go a little crazy last night - I ate a Jenny Cheesecake, Smores bar and Chocolate Chip bar all in one sitting.  No proud of myself, but at least I stuck with Jenny food (the Cheesecake is 150 lbs and AWESOME from AWESOME town!)

On a totally unrealted note, for all of my DC friends who follow this - I drove to work today with my moonroof open.

"Ha, Ha" - Nelson Munce

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong

My Wii says I've gained 1.5 lbs. - but I have been SUPER good.

Maybe I just need to poop

My New-found Love

Its Yogurt.

That's right - I LOVE yogurt!

Needless to say a report will soon be issued that states how bad yogurt is for you....

I'll take it

So I weighed myself and I've lost 2lbs since Jan. 6th - not a whole lot, but it beats gaining 2 pounds!  I was also sort of surprised cause on Jenny all I seem to do is eat, but I guess I'm eating the right things.

On that note - I had a first.  I ate yogurt and did not throw up.

This is huge - and (in my mind) is a pretty good indication of my commitment if I'm willing to eat yogurt!

Super stressful at work, but with my computer broken I can't work at home, and I seem to be a little bit saner.

My the Schwartz be with you - Yogurt (Spaceballs)

PS - before my cousin Ben lost weight he used to look like Barf from Spaceballs.  NOT John Candy - specifically Barf.  We called him Big Ben.  Captain Originality reporting for duty!

Ok, Mom..

So my Mom said that my blog needed to be more positve and focused on weight loss - god love Mom's - only people who would critique a jounal!

But, she is right, and on that note, I had a GREAT weekend.  Worked out, ate well and am feelng good.  I have not weighed myself, but my clothes seem to fit better, so that's a start.

I know a good deal of any success I may have is that I have "come out of the dieting closet" and asked you all for help - it is appreciated and any success I may have is due to your all's encouragement!
