First maintenance weigh-in

Well, it was an interesting afternoon...... we had a big cell of quick, intense thunderstorms come through the area about 4:00 yesterday. What does that have to do with my weigh-in? Well, it knocked out power to the WW center. Luckily, the receptionist happened to have a battery-operated scale with her -- they're usually used for WW-At-Work meetings. It said I was up 1.2 pounds.

Okay, not bad considering I added 4 daily points back to my plan, and I'm still within range of being at goal. But this week, I am adjusting my daily points from +4 to +3 and seeing what happens. The cool thing about maintenance is that you get to play a little with what's going to work for you.

We had our meeting in the dark. Now.... oddly enough, Jason's Deli had full power. The server said that the power just blipped long enough to knock the lights off. ODD! It's almost right in front of the WW center (faces the delivery door), and close enough that you could sling a frisbee and hit the delivery door. WEIRD.

I'm going to post a before and after picture later today. We took pictures yesterday at the office and then our marketing director did a side-by-side. There's a little tweaking to be done, but then I will post it. I'm still amazed when I view it.......

At the risk of sounding like a Spanish soccer announcer,

GOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!! It took 3 years and 3 weeks, but I am finally 44% of the woman I was on May 11, 2006. When I started the journey, this day was not even in sight. All I could honestly think about was how to take those first steps to get through the first day and the first week. I had no idea how I was supposed to do 5 minutes a day of activity, when it took all I could do to put one foot in front of the other. But if nothing else, once I make up my mind to do something.......... Here it is, June 4, 2009. I am 228 pounds lighter and a quadrillion times better. I made it through that first day, that first week just fine. I did the 5 minutes -- okay, really 10 minutes, all huffing and puffing and barely able to walk out two blocks and back. Then 20, then 30, and joined the Y, and ..... got the dog and had to walk him. Then said, "I can do a 5K." And then watched my race time improve each time I tried. In losing 228 pounds, I have gained so much. I wasn't e...

From 50 to 20.....

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can't see me, but I'm doing a mean happy dance right now. I lost 2.0 this week, for a new total of 226.8 gone, and only 1.2 to go. Those 50 ounces from last week are now down to roughly 20 (and yes, it was actually 52 ounces; I can't count for crap apparently). Yes, a bottled drink stands between me and goooooooooooooooooal! I am so excited I can't stand it!!!! I am going to work my butt off to get that 1.2 pounds off. I have another 5K this weekend, plus going hiking in the Georgia mountains on Sunday with some friends whom I haven't seen in a very long time. Yes, I'm feeling pretty jazzed. Now, I am not dumb.... I know very well that next week could bring a bounce-up and I am mentally prepared for that, in case it happens. But again, I am extra-determined. I am going to do everything within my control to do my best, and leave the rest to God. And really with everything in life -- including our weight loss -- that's all we ...
