out to diner
So I'm having a girls night tonight and we're heading to applebees...I decided to hop on the website and plan my meal...now I know exactly what I can have for the rest of the day and still eat my yummy oriental chicken salad later tonight. Pre-planning is so helpful and makes me feel in control without giving anything up!

Finally had the guts....
To post my "before" picture. It should be pretty obvious which one it is. I am with my husband and two of my kids and I am wearing a red shirt. And go figure, I have a mouthful of food. Like many of you, I don't have many pics of me at my biggest, because I avoided the camera at all costs during that time. But my mom snuck…

Proud Of Myself
I've only been counting calories since Halloween and I've already lost 8 pounds. :bigsmile: I also bought a pedometer and I've been making sure that I get 10,000 steps in. I was only getting 8,000; I'm a first grade teacher. So, I'm proud of my 8 pound weight loss and getting 10,000 steps a day! GO ME!!!!!!!:bigsmile:…

I've lost a 2nd grader
We had a function at church today, and someone asked how much weight I've lost so far. When I said 72 pounds, a young girl who is in 2nd grade said "WOW! That's how much I weigh!" So, I've lost the equivalent of a 2nd grader! I tried to pick her up to just see what 72 pounds I've lost felt like, and I couldn't do it. It…

I was good today
I thought I got a 7inch ultra light turkey wrap from Mr. Pita today but when I got back to my desk my ruler confirmed that it was a 9 inch. I checked the site and the extra two inches sure added a lot of calories. So, I chopped off the extra and tossed it....better off to be a waste than to end up on MY waist. Another…

I avoided temptation …
So last night I made a wonderful cauliflower/yam soup … healthy and low in calories. I had my lunch for today packed with the soup and multigrain bread. I was on track and prepared. I FORGOT IT AT HOME!!! :grumble: Being a teacher I can’t run out for something healthy. And our canteen only has pizza pops and other…

Back to the gym!
I took Sunday, Monday and Tuesday off from the gym and started feeling guilty about it. I definitely could have gone at least one or two of those days. I started worrying that maybe I was losing my dedication to losing weight. I decided I needed to nip that in the bud and get back to the gym. So I got home early from work…

Too cool!
I went to our little post office today for the first time in a few weeks, and the counter lady didn't recognize me! She was amazed at how "different" I look--as she put it--since she saw me last. I've got to get my DH to take some pics now and see if I really do look at that different. But it was cool to have someone not…

Sweet Success..........is on it's way
So I decided to post some more of my pics from the beginning of my weight loss journey.

I'm like holy $%^&*!!! Did I really look like…

Small steps is what counts
Since I had started my job at walmart I had never really bought enough clothes for myself to wear for a 5 day work week.
