    Hi, group. Gained back the pound I had lost, went to the gym yesterday, will go today (I'm hoping), and the pics on the fridge aren't helping yet overnight. :problem: My willpower left on a jet plane. I'm trying to lure it back.. Have a great weekend people! :D

    Went to the dr yesterday for some pre-op testing...and to my surprise..I'm down 3 more pounds!! The nurse thought i was a nut job for doing a happy dance right there on the scale. :lol:
    Going to stick with this. Going to be super hot for PJ20. ( a girl can dream right?) :lol:

    :clap: Good for you! That's awesome.
    Yes, super hot for PJ20. Plus, my aunt is coming Sept. 12 so would like to be down 15 pounds by then. Is that realistic? :)

    :lol: @ shelia!

    that is my goal! I got to lose about 20 pounds...I'll be happy with 15. I try to not weigh myself 'every day' but, I always wonder...'I've been eating really good the past few days....' but I can do it! it's 2 pounds a week...it's doable!

    a few days ago, we went to the store bought all veggies and came home. A neighbor kid came up and asked us, 'whatcha got in the bag?' I replied 'veggies!' he screams, 'ewwww! gross!' and runs away. :lol:

    summer does not help...all the BBQ's and street fairs...yummy delicious food to nom on...

    I never weigh myself unless I go to the dr. That's the only time. And lately it seems I'm going multiple times a week. The way I judge my loss is by how my clothes fit. :D

    It also helped that I did a food detox a number of weeks ago. I'd be happy to share some of it with those who are interested. Believe me, I ate and ate and ate. And now I'm feeling great.

    And we can lose this weight before PJ20. Everyone will be asking...who are those hot chicks? :lol:

    So should I pull a 'cav' and end my 3 random facts with 'I'm a hot looking chick'? :lol:

    Ideally I'd like a stone, but as I was + 2 this week, all is not going to plan.

    Done quite a lot of walking this week though so fingers crossed.

    Still eating and exercising to plan. Haven't cheated once. I'm a determined mofo when I decide to do something. I refuse to weigh myself...but even the smaller sizes I bought a couple of weeks ago are too big now. Damn...guess I'll have to keep shopping :lol: Just popped half an apple and some blueberries and cinnamon in the microwave. Delicious.

    See, I need to get back to this. Back in 2003 when I first realized, fuck, you're a chubby fucker :lol: I did something about it, immediately.....and then I quit smoking to boot too! And it all worked, tho I went back to my bad ways in time, tho never the ciggies. And sure, I've had a rough year, but that's really no excuse. So. I AM determined to be a determined Mofo too. Monday. :mrgreen:

    as mentioned, once before in my life i realized, whoa nelly, wtf is going on here?! and i DID do something about it, and i lost it all and pronto. of course, i was also younger then too. i've been wanting to do something about it again, for sometime now, but for whatever reason, it didn't translate into determination, until last year...and i lost 25 pounds. sadly, got sidetracked and havent found my way back, but monday, monday, monday!!! :mrgreen:

    made fake french toast this morning. Sliced some granny smith apples really thin and put them in a nonstick pan with fat free cooking spray until they got soft. Scrambled some egg whites with a tsp of vanilla extract, some cinnamon and a packet of truvia. Poured that in with the apples and cooked like an omelette. Soooo freaking good.

    There's only 3 things that would make me stick to a program:

    1. Pearl Jam touring near me
    2. Being attracted to someone in particular i.e., my colleague's brother. That man makes my daydreams fascinating. If he visited the area again, and I knew beforehand, I would give up chocolate, and cheetos!
    3. I got the job I applied for - DONE! Time to think of my exercise program :D

    I have to say that meeting my colleague's brother again, would be more exciting than getting this job, but in the long run, getting the job is still good. :lol:

    What a bomb of a weekend. For some reason I was hungry for everything I shouldn't have. Gluten, dairy, soda. And guess what! I gave in to my body. Did I pay for it yesterday. Sure did! But worth it.
    The good thing from all of that. I didn't gain a pound or oz. I'm holding steady.
    Back to eating good today. Gotta look good for Eddie tomorrow and Wednesday! :D

    I did 'ok' this weekend...went to sushi on Friday :D
    then we went to a friend's house for a party...I ate half a hot dog and some plain tortilla chips (those guys in bands sure do know how to eat horribly! :lol: )
    I felt really :sick: on Sunday...so we make 'chicken salsa' (see recipe in the foodie thread...it's good for you!) and I made rice-mixed half and half (white/brown) since Mr. RK hates brown rice.
    Had a salad too...got lots of veggies in the house, so I'll have salad for lunch today!
    Didn't gain any weight, but didn't lose either.

    the rest of last week was a bad food week. I ate way too many carbs and didn't workout nearly as much as I should. Going to a BBQ yesterday didn't help either- lovely sausages and burgers, and bbq fixings. lol.
    But surprisingly, I lost the 2 lbs that I had gained the week before.

    So, this week, I'm going to change it up and go slow carb. And really put in the effort to exercise this week and see what happens.
