Good Morning all -
What a great week for Weigh In Wednesday. I am down 5.8lbs. Fantastic. Being sick must have helped and I know that when I get back there probably won't have been any loss but for today I am happy with this.
Busy getting the last of the packing done today and soon we will be off to the Magic Land. Can't wait.
No W-I-W for the next couple of weeks. So, be good and stay on track. You can do it.

weigh in wednesday
I was nervous to get on the scale today but was pleasantly surprised to see a 1lb loss. I'm struggling a bit with motivation so I was especially grateful for the loss. How was your week? What are you doing to keep motivated? Are there any websites you visit for inspiration? Any tips for me?

Weigh In Wednesday - Yuck
Happy Wednesday? Not!
As expected, I am up 1.2lbs.
Pizza, birthday cake, chips, etc, don't do well for your diet. Craig was up as well. Ah well, another week is here and I am hoping for a big loss.
Sorry this is so late in posting. Had a lot going on today and an extra kid here tonight. He showed up at suppertime and I couldn't turn him away.
Down this week but hoping my mood improves tomorrow. Picked up some work this weekend so I will be working 2-10pm on Saturday.
Will post gnome picture tomorrow.
How's your week?

Not great but not too bad. Craig did well this week and I know this kind of accountability is really working for some of you. I know it is working for me. Saturday will be a bit of a write off with what Sterling has planned for his birthday - although I don't have to eat it, do i? I will though - who can resist Pizza Hut pizza and snacks? Not I.
Had a fantastic call with mom this morning 1 hour 55 minutes. It was great. Looking forward to speaking with Jessica in the next couple of days and calling our cutie nephew on Friday for his big 1 birthday. We'll probably scare him with our singing.

Weigh In Wednesday
Welcome to week two of Weigh In Wednesday.
For anyone joining in today, this is a weekly post chronicling my much needed weight loss. There was a ton of positive feedback last week when I put out a very personal post about my weight loss struggles and food issues. While I know that many of the posts on this blog are personal, this one was probably the most personal one I have posted here.
So - without further ado, my weight this week is:
245.8
Hurray! I am so thrilled! I worked hard this week but did treat myself to popcorn on Sunday afternoon for our movie afternoon. I didn't have too many troubles this week as I found that knowing I would be posting on the blog kept me more accountable. It worked.
I know from the comments that some people said they would be weighing in this week as well. I am so looking forward to seeing how you've done or seeing where you are starting. I would also love to hear about your goals, as well.
Craig also weighed in this week at 193.0 with a loss of 2lbs. Ya Craig. He only has a bout 5lbs he wants to lose but anything is great. Good for him.
Anyways, keep checking back to see how things are going. I'm going to label this post Weigh In Wednesday so if you want to look back on previous posts at any time they will be easy to find under the Weigh In Wednesday label. If you click on the label at the bottom of the post you will see all the Weigh In Wednesday post in the same place.

Weigh In Wednesdays
Welcome to a new feature on Ye Olde Blog called "Weigh In Wednesdays". Those of you who know me and have seen me lately (most of you) know that I am currently 100lbs overweight. 96.7 to be exact. I am currently at my heaviest weight of my life. This is now not only a mental issue for me, it is also a physical one. My body is not going to last at this weight. Sometimes I feel like I am barely hanging on now. Even to work in the yard made me winded. How embarrassing is that?
This really hit home for me when I saw some pictures last week of Craig and I pre-baby. I was a good looking little chickie - I must say. I have had many "hits on the head" regarding my weight. My mother-in-law successfully shed a lot of weight, my sister is already looking like she never had a baby a mere 3 months after Sparkly's birth. My mom is fantastic looking, my dad has lost 25 lbs and a friend in Calgary (you know who you are) had lost 100lbs when I last saw her. She looked fantastic.
Food is not just a sustenance thing with me. It is a mental thing. I always thought the day my kids were embarrassed of me is the day I would quit shovelling in the food. Fortunately/unfortunately, my children love me just the way I am. It took my niece asking me why I was so fat and why didn't I go to the gym to really smack me in the face. You can't argue with a four year old telling you you have a fat butt.
The other thing for me is that my husband is drop dead gorgeous and has only gotten better with age. Anyone can attest to that. We look like Jack Sprat and his wife. While he is no skinny minnie, he is perfect and yummy. (have I made you blush, Craig?)
So, here goes. As of today, I weigh: 250.2lbs (gasp)
I am following Weight Watchers and have vowed to give it the college try. Sparkly's first birthday will be here before I know it and I no longer want to sit in an airplane holding my breath, spilling out onto other seats. My first goal is 10lbs. I can do 10lbs. I know I can. So here goes. Join me if you like.
In the words of the great philosopher, Yoda:
DO OR DO NOT. THERE IS NO TRY.
