Put the cookie dough down!!
I was at target tonight waiting for a prescription refill and passed the cookie dough in the freezer section. I wanted it sooo bad, I must have picked it up 4 or 5 times to put it in the basket but the voice in my head kept telling me nothing good could come out of it. I told myself that I would only have one but i knew…

Another 1.5 gone forever!
I was kind of disappointed when I got on the scale and saw any 1.5 lb down. I think part of it was last time I weighed in the morning and this time in the evening after work so I know it was a little more fluid. I keep telling myself that 1.5 lost is a lot better than even .5 gained. I need to retrain my ego a bit I think…

Brownies
My husband and son asked me to make brownies for them, so I did. I actually made them and didn't lick the spoon, bowl, or even my finger. I am so proud that my will power prevailed. Now I hope my will power is strong enough to keep me from actually eating a brownie.

I'm having issues
My pants keep falling down. :embarassed: They're a size 12 eased fit jeans and now I can pull them down without unfastening them. :bigsmile: I think the only reason they're falling down is because I don't have a butt anymore to hold them up since I lost over 31 pounds. I think 20 of it came of my hiney. :laugh: I bought a…

Wii Fit says "I'm Normal!!"

He was 5'7 and 130lbs (I know, sounds skinny - it was, but it was all muscle) He was an assistant martial arts instructor and so he was on the floor exercising 6 + hours a night 7 days a week.
