Ok, don't get excited but the scale normally used as a trampoline says that I have lost five pounds. Ha. I know that means next week it will say I have gained 4 pounds. That is how weight loss goes. One week down, next week up. When I went to Weight Watchers it seemed that the weeks I binged at least once I lost the most. Thus leading me to attempt to lose weight by binging. As you may have guessed it did not work.
I am actually adjusting to my new diet plan. Cursing Carl is very rewarding. I've also found that I can stop munching when I'm cooking dinner, I do not have to eat that last piece of meat rather than wrap it for later and I can toss food in the garbage at will that the children do not eat. Although I dislike when I have to carry it in my pocket until we find a garbage which is the main reason I ate it in the past.
One big hurrah this weekend. Mark and Ben made pancakes and I only ate one small one with no butter and only a bit of syrup. And I didn't feel deprived. I also discovered that two table spoons of salad dressing, the serving size, is way more than I care for so no need to measure that anymore. Hurrah! Ok, I did have two servings of fake ice cream but I was very good and ate less dinner so I could. I'm not deprived. Depraved maybe but not deprived. I also bought gum for those times when the children are whining and I'm making dinner as fast as I can and I'm really, really hungry. The worst snacking time during the day for me.
I would like to say, Damn Carl for not measuring his servings at all times and for not having ice cream and cake for months and months and for working out extra. Damn you Carl. I did get out for walks this weekend and today but no bike ride. I've decided that bike riding will be my exercise of choice. Now I just have to get the bike trailer attached to my bike.

Hurrah! I know you can do anything you realy set your mind to do. congratulations on all the hard work.
love ya
Good job! I'm fixing to set off on a bike ride with my neighber right now. I [only?] gained 3 pounds in Mexico, but have found my weight creeeeeeping up a little at a time the past 2 years. I don't want to continue that trend!
Woo hoo! Way to go! The ways of weight loss can be a be confusing. Sometimes you can be totally on the wagon and not lose, and the next week you lose a bunch. It's like the body is confused and has a hard time letting go. Or you didn't drink enough water the first week. Drinking enough water and watching the sodium intake is always a good way to get the body to let go. (Yes, this would be the reason I gave up my burnt pretzels...)
Hah! I already took off the 3 vacation pounds plus 3 more! *patting self on the back and sticking tongue out at Charyn*
That's just water weight!
BTW, patting yourself on the back and sticking your tongue out at charyn sounds like a good diet plan. Keep it up.
Sister # 1
Still not losing weight. So, I started taking a brisk walk at lunch time, then Larry and I decided to jog to the health club every weekday rather than drive. So, now we jog to the health club, workout for about 60 minutes, jog home, I walk to work, I walk at lunch and I walk back home.
Results: I am very tired, we have both gained weight, my husband now has shin splints and a bird pooped on me this morning on the way to work. Right on my head!
I don't think this is working.
ROFLMAO
Fitness is not for the faint of heart. Sister #1 would say you have very big muscles now.
Try patting yourself on the back and sticking your tongue out at charyn. It worked for sister #4.
actuallly it would be sis#2 Zumba girl who would ask about the muscle. While reminding you that dancing burns cals.
I find patting yourself on the back and sticking out your tongue at anyone or thing limits your ability to put food in your mouth.
Love ya all
