7.1.09 - Day 54

I am so happy!!!  For the past two days, I have noticed that my bottoms have fit looser!  Yesterday I was wearing a skirt that I bought in the spring and it fit pretty well when I bought it.  Yesterday, I had to keep pulling it up at work :-)  I didn’t think much about it except that today…I was wearing a pair of denim capris that I had to buy a few summers ago…because I had gained weight…and they were falling down too!  It’s been a great week.  And I have needed some good things, because I have not felt great about my weight loss so far.  I still have a long way to go, but FINALLY I am seeing some small change…

I’ve had the urge to snack a bit today…I think it’s because I started my period yesterday.  (That would explain the pimples!)  I’ve held off for the most part…just had some Chex Mis Party Mix…going to have dinner soon :-|

I attempted some of the ab machines tonight in the gym.  I did 10 on one and about 20 on another.  It was hard, I’ll admit.  Definitely something I need to start working in.  I just don’t like it because I have a hard time focussing my stregnth on my abs..you know what I mean?  Like, using my abs to do the work, instead of my neck and back muscles.  Does anyone know the secret? :-)

Well, I am going away for the weekend to my mother in law’s house!  Lots of food and drinking!  My sister in law is a health nut, and I’m pretty sure my MIL stays pretty healthy, so I don’t think I have too much to worry about…just the drinking :-)  My husband tells me that they walk their dogs every night after dinner, so thankfully, I’ll have some sort of exercise too.  They also live on a lake, so he said that we could take a long walk around it if we wanted… and I am going to want too, I am at the point now that I can only go one day without feeling ugh.  When I get back I plan on going every weekday.

Have a wonderful week, buddies!  I know I will!

    Yay! I’m glad you are finally seeing changes! The changes in clothes mean so much more to me than the changes in the scale. I could not lose at all but as long as my clothes continue to get bigger I’ll be happy. I didn’t realize Scott’s family was really health conscious that is so good! My period has gave me a tough time this month…felt like total butt and wanted to eat everything in sight. It has let up now though so I’m glad not to have to fight it anymore. I bet now once you have started losing the pounds will come off consistently for a while as long as you stick to what you are doing. Have a great trip!
