I was feeling kind of discouraged...

Well, after a week of stand-still and then going up a little yesterday, I was feeling kind of discouraged yesterday. Especially after having 2 frou-frou coffees, a can of coke, and a cookie yesterday, too! But I stepped on the scale this morning and it told me.... 126.8! I'm officially down 9.2 lbs, which is nice. =D I've got lunch with Cheryl today, and we're going to Montana Ted's downtown. I'm excited about talking my business over with Cheryl and gaining some new focus for the new year. I did some math today, and if I want to make STAR this quarter, I just need to sell $50 a day for the next week and a half. I already have 3 appointments on the books for that time, which is great! I can do that!

I need to get back into the habit of drinking water. I've been slacking this week and it isn't good. I've also been bad about making dinner, and instead going for the quick fix solutions, which isn't good. I had chips and cheesy salsa for dinner the other night.... not good! So I need to be going back to deliberate choices when eating if I want to continue on the right track to lose this 30 lbs!

Ergh.

127.6 today. What's with the going backwards? I'm still at 8.5 lbs down. Of course, I haven't been exercising, so maybe it's time to start doing that. Hmmm.

Standing Still

Well, I'm still at 127.4. It's not bad. I haven't been drinking much water, so I think that plays into it. Leif and Eliana are both sick, and I'm not feeling so hot myself. Yesterday I slept from about 1-5, then went to bed around 9 and slept until 6, so I'm guessing I'm fighting off something, too. Thankfully, though, I'm not puking, like they are. But I'm taking it easy. I may not make it to that 10 lbs by Sept 1 after all, but we'll see what the scale says when I weigh in on Tuesday. In the meantime, I'm just trying to stay hydrated and eat responsibly. =D Let's hope that does it!

Lunch

I am having baked zucchini parmesan and some tomatoes for lunch with carbonated water. Yum!! (and healthy, too!)

Healthy Weight!!

See that ticker?

The one at the top of the page?

It says that my BMI is now 24.9.

Do you know what that means??

It means that I am officially within the HEALTHY WEIGHT RANGE for my height and frame!!

HOORAY!!!

Down to 127.4 today. 1.4 lbs to go to reach 10 lbs, but this was my first goal and I've met it!!

Almost palindromatic

8.2 22.8 =D

8.2 lbs down, 22.8 lbs to go... I weighed in at 127.8 today! If I can make it down another 1.8 lbs in the next 5 days, I'll be down 10 lbs in the first month! Hooray!

Weigh in for Biggest Loser

Weighed in at 128.4 this morning, which means I'm down 7.6 lbs in 3.5 weeks, or 5% of my body weight. That's about 2 lbs a week, which is a healthy rate of loss. So we have 12 weeks to the middle of November, and a little over 14 weeks to December 4th, when the contest ends. That puts me right on target if I keep losing at the rate I'm going, even a smidge ahead for the contest. I need to lose 23.4 lbs more.

Moderation.

Water.

Walking.

I really want to be down another 2 lbs by the end of the week. That would bring me to just about 10 lbs.

I've also considered running a 5K next month, and if I'm going to do that (which I'm not completely decided on) I need to start running again!
