I am very pleased with myself today. I finally had a good loss. I lost 2 lbs!! Woohooo!!! I would have liked to have lost 2.5 because that would put me at 46 lbs lost, but that would be getting greedy! I am very happy with my 2 lbs and I am at a new low, this time around of 152.5 lbs!!!! I worked really hard for those 2 lbs.!!! I worked out 5 days and only ate 6.5 flex points! I think I am at that point in my weight loss were I am going to literally work my butt off to get my weight moving in the right direction. That is OK with me; I am willing to put in the time and effort to get down to my goal! I feel great!!!
I missed the meeting last night and my regular viewing of The Biggest Loser! Gosh I hate it when my schedule gets changed! But I had to go into the City for an appointment with Trevor. At least we were not home too late. I saw the last ten minutes of The Biggest Loser. I love that show. It is very inspiring! Then I watched Extreme Makeover, where the make people "pretty". Some day I would love to have just my stomach done. Due to the fact that I was 217 lbs I some extra skin to deal with. Nothing of course like you see in those stories where people lose 200 lbs.! But none the less it is still there…. Hanging! I find it uncomfortable when I do jumping jacks or anything like that…. I don't think I need to explain! I don't mind the little bits of hanging skin under my arms, they do not bother me. It is all the extra skin on my stomach and I am sure by the time I get to goal it will be much more prominent! But, I would like to have kids some day soon, so I will deal with that after I am done having children!
Well today is my long day at the gym. I am off to do 30 minutes of bike at level 10 random, 20 minutes of weights and then 42 minutes of cardio kickboxing! It should be good! I am usually very tired on Wednesday nights! For good reason!
I am excited to get a new week on the go here and see if I can't lose that pesky half a pound to get to my 45 lbs lost! This is a good second weekend for my Christmas Challenge! My goal this week is to do 5 days of exercise (even while staying out of town at my in laws) , to drink lots of water (sometimes I forget!) and to lose that pesky half a pound!!! I promise this weekend I will add some more recipes and maybe even put up my weight lift schedule and my new Sunday work out since Trevor will be hunting all weekend and I won't have much to do while staying at my in-laws!
Well, I better get my day started; it is going to be a long one! I am leaving the house at 6:50 am and returning at 7:15 pm, a usual Wednesday!
Have a great day!

Well I had a fabulous long weekend food and exercise wise!! I feel great and tonight is weigh in so we will see! I really would like to get to my Christmas goal and get into "virgin" fat before Christmas!
I have a confession…. I was at the gym last night and as I was working away on the bike I was looking around and taking in my surroundings (I like to do this before I get into my book, just in case there are people there I should have said hello to or something like that!) when I noticed that woman whom I mentioned in a previous post who said I should stop losing weight now. Well you will never guess what I caught myself thinking as I was watching her sweat away on the elliptical… "Gosh she looks really skinny" Oh my god… I can not believe I am one of "those" people whom I detest! You know the ones who say things like, "You are getting too skinny, don't you think it is time you stopped "dieting", are you starving yourself?" I was actually looking at her thinking, not in a bad way though, holy crap she looks skinny! I guess the difference between me and those other people is that I think she looks great and I would never voice my opinion to anybody about there weight, unless it was positive! Like when I first saw her after a few years, I told her how amazing she looks and congratulated her on her success. God knows I have had those people telling me that I look "to skinny" and I don't need to lose any more weight. Gosh that pisses me off!!! Sometimes it is for concern of my well being but sometimes it is not. I find it almost insults my intelligence! I am very conscious of my weight and I no I am not starving myself and no I am not dieting! Blah!
I am kind of nervous about weigh in tonight. What if I did all this hard work and I stay the same or gain!!! I know I am gaining muscle, losing inches…. Blah blah blah… But I really need to see a loss here!! I need to see that all this kicking it into high gear is going to pay off!!!
I am not staying for the weight watchers meeting tonight though. Trevor and I are off to an appointment in the city for 7:30 and it is a 40 minute drive so I will be weighing in and dropping of my fellow weight watchers (my mom and aunt) and then I am off!
Trevor did not get a deer yesterday, but there are still 2 more weekends. One of the guys in his hunting gang got one buck… so that is something! I am not really stuck on venison, but Trevor and his father like it. It is actually really good for you! It is very lean. Have you ever seen a fat deer? No? I did not think so! I like the pepperettes (no so lean, mixed with pork) and hamburger. By the time the season is over we will have a freezer full of it!
I ended up eating 2 flex points last night. Trevor cam home with some pizza from his moms and it was from a new pizzeria and he said it was absolutely the best pizza ever, so I had three bites of it! It was delish, but I gave the rest back! So I counted that as 2 flex points! Some times you just need a bite lick or taste, but as long as you are very selective as to what you bit lick or taste and count them…. everything will be OK … I hope *smiles & crosses fingers*!
Goodnight,
Wendy
Well, it has been a great weekend for eating! I have only eaten 4 flex points. Even after today's shopping trip!! I have just been at the gym and did 40 minutes on the bike at level 10 random, 30 minutes on the elliptical at level 11 cross training and then 10 minutes on the treadmill, slope 6 level 3.5. I decided to do this instead of my class at 6:15 so that I would be home earlier because Trevor will be home any time now and I wanted to be here when he got here!!
Anyways, just a quick update, I will read and respond to my emails tomorrow. I am in a hurry to get to the shower and make supper so I am ready when Trevor gets home!!! I will write more tomorrow when I have time!
Take care,
Wendy
