update.

I have gained back every last pound that I have lost.

And then some.

*shrug*

Day 86

i've totally flopped...

i've still lost weight, but i've gone a bit insane over the last week with eating. i think now that i'm below the two-twenty pound mark i've gone a bit eating nuts. yesterday was the fund-raiser and there was so much food to be eaten. i didn't make the right choices. what's worse is that my birthday is thursday and i've asked my friends to throw me a surprise birthday party.


this picture is from saturday night. i was going to have ONE soy-cream sandwich (similar to ice-cream sandwiches, only the size of a quarter and made from soy.) My mom took one bite and decided to throw hers out. instead, i took a hit for the team and had two (they were only one hundred calories each.)

oui.

Day 40

I'm psyched about the progress I've seen. I'm now in jeans that were WAY too tight for me this fall and wore jeans yesterday that I couldn't even zip, much less button not too long ago. In fact, the jeans I wore yesterday were only zippable after two months in Africa last summer. HA!

Admittedly, I need to spice up my videos in the future. I'm only 40% done with my challenge and already I'm a snooze on the videos. I thought that maybe I'll record my next video while I'm doing a cardiac resuscitation at work. Then I'll get my cardio and video all at once!

Day 33

Woo-Hoo! I've lost 12 pounds since December 14th. To celebrate this evening, I had a Publix sub, veggie chips, and some Kashi granola. If you told me a few months I was going to have a celebratory meal consisting of this, I would have choked on my cheeseburger.

i fight against racism in this weight loss blog.

And, my zit is HUGE. Why try and hide it?

two twenty-nine

That's what the scale said this afternoon. Then I wet myself there in the middle of the gym and dropped another half pound. I was 239 around thanksgiving and 242 at the end of October so have made some HUGE progress - much more than expected. I'm not doing a video blog tonight because I have a zit on my chin so large that I'm convinced that it's a growth, increasing my metabolic rate, and contributing to my weight loss. Whatever helps. Tonight, I had dinner out with Neal and Helen and ate at Applebea's and chose the Weight Watchers steak and mushrooms. Granted, it didn't look as yummy as a cheeseburger and fries, but I ate my food, it was delicious, and I didn't want more.

Right now I'm watching The Biggest Loser. I love this show. Regular people working their booty off to work their booty off. I keeps me motivated to do the same.

Maybe when this zit disappears I'll lose another pound or two.
