TOPSY TURVY

Well, this was a better week. I weighed in Monday night. I lost 3.5 pounds for the week, which is in itself a miracle as I had my monthly visitor and felt bloated most of the week. So, I have now officially lost 25.2 lounds! WEE HAA!! I HAD to go shopping because my jeans look horribly baggy on me. What a tough situation, right??!! So, only 94.8 pounds to go BUT I'm not going to dwell on that...it's depressing.

Found a new exercise program today. It's Exercise On Demand--perfect for when it's too cold or wet to go outside. I did the Stepping Out -2 Miles today. WHEW!! Felt kinda inferior but I got thru it just fine. It's more of a workout than I ever thought it would.

We head to Colorado on Saturday and I'm SO glad that I will be able to be outside and wear sweaters and be COMFORTABLE!!! Quite a blessing and I can't wait to get even better!!

Hope everyone has a good week. I look forward to seeing you at Thanksgiving. Whitney, since I won't see you there, you have a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving day with Brian.

Talk to you all soon,
Lee

Not There Yet

I wasn't going to post again until I lost 60 lbs. It just isn't happening as fast as I wanted it to. So I'm wavering between 57, 56, 58, 55, 57 - UGH.

The start of the week is great - I stay on calorie plan and I'm jogging every night. Then the weekend comes and all goes down the toilet. Let's see Popcorn at the movies, Olive Garden with fattening Caesar dressing, bread stick and Moscato. Why Why Why?

I only keep from blimping out because I'm weighing every day and working out.

My endurance has been terrific. Tonight I jogged on the Treadmill (at an incline) for 20 minutes and then walked for 10. I remember when I could barely jog for 3 minutes without feeling like a heart attack was coming on; and five minutes turned into a huge celebration. So with that in mind I'm sticking to it. I WILL ONLY EAT ONE PIGGY AT THANKSGIVING.

Hey Lee - way to go on the two pants sizes.

DISCOURAGING

Lee here againKinda discouraged tonite. I weighed in and lost NOTHING this week. Now,I already know that I need to take into account my monthly cycle, my eating this week, etc. I've decided to stay off my scale at home. On OUR scale, I lost almost 6 lbs this week!!! AARRGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!

We walked A LOT this week. We shoot for 5 days w/ 10,000 steps per day. We walked over 62,000 steps so that was good! My measurements will be taken next week. I feel pretty good about that, mostly because we went shopping this weekend and I had to get a smaller size! That's now two slack sizes I've lost. When I lose another ten pounds, I'll weigh less than I have since Kelsey's been born!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to get there. So, this week I need to stick closer to the food portions and choices.

Hope you all are having great successes with your our journeys. Don't give up....it will be worth it for ALL of us in the end.

Have a great nite,
Lee

Lee here

Hi all! Had a rough week last week. I got a flu shot on Saturday and apparently had a reaction. I was sick from Sat. nite thru Tues. nite. I went to work on Wed but was apparently just on autopilot. I was wiped out!! I did manage to keep to my eating program. I'm now lost 22.2 pounds. We didn't do meausurements because I was too out of it. That will come next week.

I got a nice compliment from Kristy this week. She said she's enjoying her arms going further around me as she hugs me and seeing my figure come back. We teased that I'm going to eventually be one of those cute, short girls (women) that she hates because all the tall guys go for them. Since we don't have to worry about anyone "going" for me, she'll be safe.

Hope everyone is having success with their eating, exercises, etc. Gotta go now--Stacy & I are going for a long walk since it's Saturday.

Take care and love to all,
Lee
