Wow, it’s been over a year since I’ve been on this site. So many things have happened since I last logged on. I’m married now and loving it! I want to look good for my hubby who is a marine stationed in Yuma Az. We only see each other on the weekends and I want him to look at me and be so proud to have a good looking wife. I lost weight for the wedding and was at 135. My post wedding weight is 141. I need a buddy to workout with more importantly someone I can diet with. Let me know who’s out there that needs a buddy. I’m game!

I am back on weight watchers and am on the second week of P90x.  I weighed in at 140 today and know what I have to do to get the weight down.  It’s a beautiful day today in Southern California.  I still have my job and a house to call my own.  I love my 2 dogs and and I’m starting to date again.  I’ve added new wonderful buddies and am on the road to a sexy new me.  When summertime rolls around I’m gona look good!    

Many many new things to talk about and share with you my buddies!! Some good most bad.  One good thing…the last time I was on this site was November and my weight tracker was 149.  I am presently 142 so I am down down down and that feels good!!  O was actually 139.5 last week, but my boyfriend of 2 years broke up with me *sniff sniff* It was a bad break up too, he just stopped communicating and I was calling and texting and doing all the dumb things a dumped person does.  Then I fell off the wagon and ate pasta, fries, grilled cheese sandwhiches, chips, etc. 

I hate being an emotional eater.  All you emotional eaters out there I love you all and I know your pain.  Then I thought…how can this man that has dumped me have so much control over me that he makes me eat and eat until by pants are about to burst.  Then I said, “NO!, he does NOT have control over me and will never make me feel bad about myself again!  I’m gonna lose weight, reach my goal, feel good, and look good.”

I’ve been on the Lindora weight loss program and it’s been pretty good.  I’ve changed my eating habits dramaticaly.  In terms of proportion, my meals should be the size of a snack and my snacks should be half the size of my meals.  I have 3 meals and 2 snacks and 80 oz of water a day.  To be honest, I have not been itemizing my carb/protein intake like I should be.  I know it does help to write it all down, but give me a break. I have just picked myself up and barely started to dust myself off.

Now is the hard part…staying focused while trying not to think about being the dumpee.  Take care buddies…until the next weigh in! 

P.S. I surpassed my mini goal by 3 lbs. baby! Yeah!  Time to set a new mini goal…sweet!

Maybe quitting WW was a bad idea….I gained 13 pounds once I left.  Well, I’m back again and today I am doing ok with my points (19).  I know the key for me is preparation.  Last night I measured out all my food and put post-its on the containers telling me how many points in each container.  I just have to keep it up and find a variety of low point foods. The WW yogurt and snack cakes are life savers.

Counting today…I will have 11 days until Hawaii.  I WISH I was 139 now.  I blame it on myself, parties, indulgence, not tracking what I ate, laziness, peer pressure, and the list goes on and on.  My clothes are too tight and my double chin is coming back.

Today is Wednesday and my first day of getting back on track with WW.  19 points a day is what I have to work with.  I am very limited to Smart Ones and Subway.  Any WW buddies out there who want to share point ideas??  Who want to be buddies til we both reach our goals??  I need all the help I can get.

Been at 139 for a while now.  Been working out, been eating right.  Obviously something is not working.  I’m gonna try the Body Bugg from 24 hour fitness.  I’ve heard good things about it and it’s suppose to be accurate as long as I do my part—inputting my intake and changing my stats as necessary.  Is anyone using the Body Bugg?  If you’re currently using it I would love some input.

Here at work..feeling my usual overbearing corpulant self (sarahJade ;)).  I was holding the door open for a co-worker/good friend of mine, when she suddenly squeezed my cheeck and told me how small my face is now.  That made my day!

…’til Hawaii.  That’s plenty of motivation to get to my weight goal.  Thoughts of me in a bikini, on the beach.  The date is September 21.  I will be there for a week.  I would be content if I lost 10 pounds by then….ecstatic if I lost 15….The weight is just going down at a snail’s pace. 

Good Moring everybuddy!

Weighed in at 138.8  Crazy—-I actually lost 0.2 lbs.  After all those buffets and desserts.  I had to get on the scale twice to check if it was accurate.  I seriously thought I would be in the 140’s.  Yay! (hope I keep it up). 

 I need a new way of doing things and I’m asking for your feedback please.  Specifically WW buddies who are doing the flex points.  My usual routine:

Breakfast:  2-4 point meal 

Drinking green tea until lunchtime

Lunch: 4-5 point Smart One or Lean Cuisine. 

Afternoon Snack: 2 point WW bar

Dinner:  Subway 

I am working out as well, but my weight has been stagnant for a long while now.  I have to change things up and try new food or maybe eat at different times of the day…who knows.  So what do you guys do differently?  What works for you?
