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!

Way to go! That feels so good when u feel the changes in ur clothes! Way to go! Have fun! Keep it up!
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!
