Still alive and STILL making better choices:)

I AM BACK!!!! I know I have not been blogging in about 2-3 weeks! I have been busy with work and traveling for work but it is no excuse. I have't stopped eating healthy and still kicking butt. I haven't made it to WW in 2 weeks but I am still -29 pounds down and it feels great. I am more than half way to my goal!  I am back to sharing the wonderful recipes that I have been cooking:)

~Happy Eating!

PLaying Catch up

I haven't written too much in about a week and I am sorry!! I need to find a better way of uploading pictures on the actual blog site so any suggestions would be fabulous!!!??!?!? 

I have not fallen off the train as I am still on the the WW wagon of success! ( I have not weighed in about a week due to having to work this Saturday.) I am a tad worried about weighing in this week but I do feel like my clothes are getting a little looser! We will see. I have been eating out a little more but making wise choices.  I read in a article by Hungry Girl and she stated that she eats well 80% of the time and 20% of the time she gives herself a break.  I would say that I have become about 90%-10%...which isn't too bad but before I was doing about 97% good and 3% bad...and that was a for sure success. I am not done loosing weight. I calculated that have about 23 pounds to get to my goal weight.  I haven't been that weight since high school, IF I even weight it in High School.  

Please bear with me as I am going to begin putting the yummy and fabulous recipes that I have been cooking the past couple of weeks. 

Skinny minnie Saturday!

As you might know or can guess,  Saturday is my weekly weigh in. I love going first thing on Saturday mornings as it keeps me honest during the week and if I decide to "slack" off, the weekend is a perfect time to! As mentioned last week I haven't been attending meetings and I thought i would this week but my favorite leader was not there so I decided to weight in and go run some errands  SHOPPING:) As it turns out this shopping was a little way to treat myself because I lost:

1. 4 lbs!!!!

This was fabulous news (any news of loosing weight is FABULOUS!)  I am having  such a great time eating right and working out.  I even discovered a new work out that defiantly shakes up my usual work out routine (more of that to come:) After my weekly weigh in I bought myself a couple of goodies and headed to the pool. Our delightfully wonderful friends came over and we spent a relaxing day at the pool that was followed by a crazy fun time playing Just Dance 2!!! Have  a great "Skinny" week!

It is a Skinny Saturday indeed!

Today was a great day at the Weigh In. I wasn't sure how much I was going to loose (if any).  Since i had such a big loss last week I was exactly how it would go.  All I was hoping for was just .5 pounds...1/2 of a pound.  I picked my mom up which was nice since had not gone together in a couple of weeks.  I stepped on the scale and closed my eyes...and then the lady made my day...she said: "You have lost....

1.6 pounds!!!

This was AMAZING NEWS as it brings me one step closer to loosing to my long term goal.  As of today I have lost:

20.8 pounds 

and I feel great and (my husband says I look pretty good too:)

To treat myself I bought a cute new bathing suit top and my awesome mom bought me a cover up:) Its off to get some sun (if the darn thing would come out and stay out!)  This is a great way to start my Saturday and enjoy my weekend!

- Happy Eating!

Damn....you looking good girl!

I will never reveal what my dress size was when I started WW (at least not until I get down to a size I feel comfortable sharing:) But there does come a time when doing any weight loss program that you put on your favorite dress or pair of pants or skirt and notice that things are starting to feel a little loose.  Last week it was a pair of my favorite pair of pants that were ONE size down from my 'starting' dress size.  Today it was a cute pair dressy shorts that I used to LOVE wearing that are TWO sizes down from what my 'starting' dress size.

It felt so incredible and totally makes up for the crazy horrible morning that followed me at work:(.  When I looked in the mirror on the way out the door I didn't frown and think: " Damn...you a big girl" because I heard: " Damn...you looking good girl!".  My husband is spectacular! Sometimes we I need this boost to help me keep going.

During the first couple of weeks of loosing weight it seemed as if nothing was dramitically different. I carry alot of weight in my face so I noticed that first.  My daily mantra was: "Those pounds did not appear over night and I cannot expect them to drop over night".  But now that my clothes are starting to feel different and it means......

SHOPPING FOR A NEW SUMMER WARDROBE!

But I can't go just yet because I KNOW I will loose more inches and shed more pounds! Until then my I will go shopping in my closet for my "newly" discovered clothes!

Happy Eating,
