February fail! Should have just drank the Coke!

I was on a downward trend at the scale... Till February!!! It's easy to say oh I should have eaten better but I realized that I had a huge accomplishment this week I have been playing a waiting game with diabetes and well I've been avoiding blood work and doctors for over a year... And I decided nope gotta go to dr! So I didn't buy my 5 bottles of regular for the week. We shared two bottles but most of the week was water for me! My body was going thru withdrawal so bad I slept for 12 hours and wanted candy in not a candy craver! I caved I sniffed out a box of chocolates! a Xmas gift I met to give someone that slipped under the tv stand...  And proceeded to eat half the box! I ate my fiances pb&j ice cream! And made him buy my chocolate on the way from class at 10pm! 

So Saturday am ww meeting big surprise I've  gained 8lbs in 8 days! 

Addiction is hard! And tonight was our movie night all the girls get together and we eat yummy food and laugh! I put out humas, chips, blue berries and a cheese featured at our local market. And yes I had a glass of soda... Key is moderation! (Keep learning) #ww 

Another season over

Ok, show of hands who watched the biggest looser? I did! Every season I kick myself for not tryin to get on the show. All I think about is ok if I got on the show how long would I make it? Would I fail a temptation challenge or one of those hold yourself in the air over a pool of pharannas jk... 

I would of course dream of making it to the make over round so that Tim & ken could help me visualize my new thinner self! 

I think though that because I'm human and doing this weight loss at home not on the ranch it's going to be more realistic timeline & results. In 3 years I've lost 40lbs and kept it off! 

Most of the women at my meetings needed to loose less weight than that to get to goal. Me I lost 40 and stalled I gave up And let myself fall to the side and stopped going to meetings.  I had all of these things neededing my attn and forgot that I need my attn!  I need to remember that at the end of a 24 hour day I need to focus at least 1 hour a day to me... 

Women

I just saw a great blog about moms hating on each other for petty things and it dawned on me it's not a mom on mom hate crime it's women. 

Why do we have to put each other down over how we dress, look, work ethic, etc. 

I chose to get an education and become a fully developed human before marrying someone and poping out kids because that was my choice.  My mom chose to get a degree and start a family then get back to work years later her choice. 

This isn't the 50's when if u got to close to a boy u ended up having a shot gun wedding and over the years learned to love each other.  

It's 2014, it takes all kinds of kinds! 

I keep telling myself not to let the pressures of what everyone else is doing get to me. I may never be the smartest or the thinnest or the fastest or the list goes on.  Don't push yourself to the edge because of what others are doing or saying. Do what's right for you! 

My Trader Joes I love you! Find of the past summer "Tomato Salad"

Since I am catching you all up! This Summers hit was Tomato Salad!  (and I'm tired of stews and winter foods! )

Brown tomatoes, Vidal onion, and dissolve a little bit of sugar in olive oil and white balsamic vinegar, and fresh cracked pepper. I recommend making it the night before or the morning before you want to eat it. It is not a WW Zero Point food anymore because of the oil and sugar but its also not a high point side and packs a bunch of flavor a great side to bring to any BBQ or serve with chicken or beef.

Like my posts my weight loss has haulted to...

If you've been a follower of my blog, you may have noticed that I stopped posting! no excuses... but I lost my log in and life spun out much like my weight loss.   

Since my last post I got a new job, got engaged to the love of my life, and we moved into our first place together!  Now that the dust has settled and I'm living in one house instead of 2 houses, a boat and a car... I'm getting back on track! 

I will do anything for an award!

I'm a product of the 80's... I will do anything for an award or a sticker! I got my ww 5k award for helping fight Alzheimer's @ the memory walk

Shopping my favorite boutique...

Today I rediscovered my favorite store! My closet! I'm fitting into clothes I purchased 4 years ago! That means I've almost lost all of my recession depression weight! When I lost my job I went from a size 22/24 to a whopping 28! And even those got tight! I'm now wearing my 18/20 sweatpants that I got while in collage. I always thought I'd be excited to buy new clothes as I lost weight but the new me... Or the more mature me is loving becoming re acquainted with my "old friends"
