...into the 180s!! 189 to be exact. Just barely, but there.
I'm hoping this weekend goes okay. I crave sweets on the weekends really badly and usually give in. So I'm hoping that I'll be strong this weekend and will have another new number to report next Friday!

Quick weigh in results
I weighed in this morning at 192.5!! Yay...that's 2.5 more pounds lost this week! I'm SOOOO excited.
I'm a little concerned about this weekend though. My eating routine will be way off course and I'll have to watch myself VERY carefully. I won't be able to weigh until Tuesday, so I hope it will be at least the same then.
I'll try to update my 'official' weight next Friday!

Just a few thoughts
J & I have been back on the 6WBMO for 2 weeks now. Last week I lost 5 lbs, but that just got me back to 195 since I had gained 5 lbs in the previous 2 weeks. (I dunno what happened.) Anyway, this week should show new weight loss. If I've lost some weight, it will put me in new territory. I'm excited and anxious at the same time. I'm excited to find out what the number is, but I'm also afraid that I'll be disappointed. I usually weigh at least every other day, but this week I've made myself refrain from weighing since Monday, so I have no idea how things might be.
That's all. I just wanted to throw that out there while I had a few minutes. I'll try to be back to update tomorrow...good or bad.

Got nothing to say
...so this will be short. Today's weigh in was 195. Still the same. I'm trying to get back in the groove. Mostly trying to my exercise worked out. I'm trying to jog/walk 3x a week and strength train 2-3x a week.
We have lots of things coming up. We'll be going out of town for the weekend in a couple of weeks, gotta get prepared for that. E's 2nd birthday is soon, so I'm in party planning mode. Then after that, it'll be time for 2nd grade!! Lots going on and I hope I can lose some more weight while it's happening!

Here Again
When I logged in to update today, there were options for changing the background on my blog, so I did. It looks pretty cool now.
Anyway, I know it's been a while since I've posted, but there's really been nothing of interest to post. I've maintained my weight of 195 since I was here last. I'm okay with that. I haven't eaten my LC way that I should have been, so maintaining is good. At least there hasn't been a gain.
This week I started the Couch to 5K program which takes you from doing nothing to running a 5K in nine weeks. I've done okay so far except for the fact that I didn't do it today (I plan to do it tomorrow instead). I've actually been able to finish the whole thing. So far I've done 5 minutes of walking followed by eight intervals of running 60 seconds and walking 90 seconds then a cool down. It takes 30 minutes and I've been moving kinda slow (more of a jog than a run), but I've covered a little over a mile in that time. I did well the other two days getting up early and getting straight on the treadmill. Today, there was nothing else going on so I slept in and decided not to run this morning after all. So, I'm exercising. Now, to get back to LC and I might actually be able to reach my goal this year!
My friend, L, is on LC and she is doing GREAT! She's lost 40 lbs. the last I heard, about a week ago. Granted, she has more weight to lose than I do, but I'm still so happy for her. I'm gonna do my best to get back to it this week. J is back to low fat, which involves carbs, so I really need to get strict with myself if I'm gonna do this. Hopefully, next week will be a better post, where I can say that I've actually lost some weight! Until that time.....

AGGGHHHH!
I am so freakin' frustrated! I feel very apathetic; I just don't care. I don't care if I diet; don't care if I exercise; don't care if all I do is sit and eat ALL DAY.
But I don't know how to get out of this funk. Last week, I was frustrated with myself for failing to stick to my plan. I still am, but don't know what to do. I tell myself every morning that I'm going to get back to it today, but then I'll have a moment of 'there's nothing to eat here' and it's off to the sweets or cereal for me. In the past, that hasn't been too much of a problem if I ate something non-LC once a day, but it has turned into several times a day or all day, and there's the problem.
J told me he's going back to low-fat, high fiber. For some reason that makes me feel like a failure too. I feel like I haven't supported him enough and he's given up on it. I really don't care what he does, he has done really well on Weight Watchers in the past, but I feel like I have to do what he's doing and I don't like WW. (Nothing wrong with the plan in general, just not for me.)
I'm also blaming TOM for the way I feel, because you know it's what's wrong with the world, right?
Anyway, maybe this ranting will make me feel a little better and I can move on with my day.

I gave in
because the scale hasn't budged. I think it's all a plot to make me change my ticker. I kid.
I have been stuck at 195 for about 3 weeks now. Which, in a way, is a good thing. It's like this, I haven't been on my LC plan for about 3-4 weeks, BUT my weight has stayed within 2 lbs. the whole time. It hasn't been higher than 196 the whole time. So, I'm actually pretty pleased with that. It shows me that I will be able to maintain my weight....whenever I finally reach that ultimate goal.
In that frame of mind, I'm thinking of doing the soup diet. If I decide to, I'd like to blog about it. But, we all know that I'm not a very faithful blogger. I've done this diet before and lost 6 lbs. in 4 days (because that's as long as I could stay on it). So, I'd like to do it again just for the fact of being able to drop 5 lbs. or so very quickly. Yes, I know it's mostly water weight. Yes, I know that it's not a sustainable eating plan, but I know that already. I'm not trying to eat this way for a long time; only 7 days. The bottom line: I want to lose the weight quickly because I really believe I can maintain.....once I get there.
Anyway, I'm please with how things have been going lately, despite the fact that the scale hasn't really moved any.
