Update

So here's the quick update.

The first 2 weeks of core I lost a combined total of 5.5 pounds. All together, I am at a total loss of 31.6 ponds. It feels great to pass the 30 lb mark. I don't think that I posted but last week I hit my 10%. Yeah! That feels awesome!

I am still liking Core and loving not counting as much.

I saw a picutre of my posted on a friends' blog and was not repulsed. This is a big step forward. I usually cringe upon seeing pictures of myself. I can see the difference in my face.

I also found an awesome waffle recipe made out of oatmeal that I will post soon. My husband even liked it which says a lot. He is funny about new recipes.

Lost a Big One!

Well, it has been too long. I am sure that some of you are thinking that I fell off the wagon. Happy to say that I am still going strong. I also realized that I haven't posted my weight-loss for the past two weeks. Last week I lost 2.6 lbs! Yeah! I was pleasantly surprise. Wasn't really expecting a big loss because I haad been so hungry all week and so I stormed through my WPA with no shame. I lost 1.4 this week. Not a big loss but I am definately happy about it. It was a party-full week. Friday we had a going-away BBQ for friends, Sat was my daughter birthday party, Sun was the leftovers from the birthday party, and Thurs was Valentines. I went over my WPA before Sun was over but exercise self-control for the rest of the week.

All said and done, I have lost 20.4 lbs since Dec. 28th. I am pretty happy about that and I am approaching two milestone, 10% and 25 lb star which could potentially happen the same week. It feels good to pass the 20 lb mark. I am pretty proud of myself. still have some baby weight left but I am 20 lbs closer than I was a month and a half ago. The fish above is 20lbs. Can you believe it? It is huge! My friend Em said that her WW leader told them to carry around a 10 lb bag of potatoes at the grocery store and you will have a true appreciation for every 10 lbs you lose. I can't imagine carrying around one in each hand, but yet, that is what I was essentially doing all of the time. YIKES!

I have some catching up to do on blogging so hopefully when you check back this week I will blog about the cookies and ravioli I made for Valentines Day and the circuit training I did last week. It kicked my butt.

By the way, if you want to see what you "fish weight" just type in __ lbs in http://www.images.google.com/. I think you will be surprised. TB, I put in 80 just for you and here it is. Wow, you should be very proud. Can't wait to see your "big one"!!!

How many points are there in Tums?

Thursday night I started feeling a little sick right before bed. I broke out the Tums and munched a few. I couldn't seem to kick the queesy stomach. I turned in for the night hoping that it would go away. I kept waking up every hour or so. I still had a sick stomach and kept having to go to the bathroom. I am usually a very heavy sleeper and don't wake up for much so I am not accustommed to seeing the early hours of the morning. I think that I saw 2:00, 3:15, and 4:30 and also 5:30. Finally I gave up at 6:10 and decided to get up and get ready for the day. I still felt a little queezy and was hoping that I would make it through my meeting without puking.

All the way in I felt so sick to my stomach.

I parked made my way into the building and upstairs.

Weighed in.

Down 5.2 lbs.

Yeah!

Sat down.

Before I knew it I felt so much better. Must have been nervousness. I have never felt that way before. This weigh-in really stressed me out.Now I have my first star. I am so excited. Motivates me to get another.
