Did She or Didn't She??

She did.....last night AND today!

I sucked it up and worked out both days (and yes Beverly, it WAS worth it!). I do feel so much better when I work out. So officially, I have worked out for six days in a row! I think I might try for seven!! :)

The scale gods have smiled upon me also...another two pounds gone!

We're headed out to have dinner with friends. I feel confident Alan and I will make good choices tonight. I have about 1000 calories to play with for dinner.

Thanks to you all for supporting me during my evening of doubt last night!

"Screw it!!"

As the day goes on, I find myself wanting to say "screw it!" to working out tonight. But I CAN'T! I have to do this. I made a promise to myself that I would not wimp out every time I don't want to do something.

Give me strength!!

Week 1 Results

Starting weight 12/30/05: 326
Today's weight: 324.5
Net loss: 1.5 lbs

What these results DON'T show is that I am down 5 lbs from the highest weight on Monday 1/2, which was 329.5. The festivities of New Year's Eve weekend brought on three extra pounds.

This is not exactly the numbers I wanted to see. Had I officially started AFTER the New Year (like the rest of the world!) it would be a different story. Oh well, can't lament on what could have been....

New Year's Eve Pics

Here's a pic of Alan and me on New Year's Eve....



We had a blast going out with our friends...we ended up at the local Econo Lodge that has a big bar/restaurant. It was a $35 cover, with all you can drink and hot and cold appetizers. Needless to say, I drank my $35 worth! We stayed the night at our friends house and went home the following afternoon.
Here's a pic of our friend's dog, Peppa....
Isn't she adorable? She's wearing a collar that looks like a bow tie! She's one spoiled pooch!

Thanks for reading!!

Just wanted to say THANKS to everyone who reads my ramblings. It is great to get feedback from you.

A special note to Dawnyal--we WILL succeed, girlfriend! There will be days that will be easier than others. If we are prepared for the bad days, there's no way we can fail!! I'm going to be there giving you the encouragement you need.

I've starting to feel lighter and stronger--amazing after only being on plan for a few days! It can only get better!!

Worth Repeating....

I found this quote on SparkPeople by Coach_Dean:

"If the problem isn't hunger, then food isn't the solution."

I'm 100% on Plan!!!

Okay, I know it's only January 3, but for the last two days I have been on plan with everything--calories, water, and exercise! I wanted the opportunity to say that at least once in my life.

I received The Biggest Loser Workout DVD for Christmas and used it for the first time yesterday. I definitely felt like I had worked out! It is a great DVD--you can follow their 6-week program, or create your own using the routines on the DVD. Very flexible! I'm doing the 6 week program to start with. Can't wait to see the results!

It is very helpful having Alan on board with me getting healthy. He posted on 3FC in the 100 lb club (even though he doesn't have 100 lbs to lose, he knows I hang out there). He is enjoying using SparkPeople as well. It is SUCH a great program to track food and exercise! It's amazing that it is totally free.

I am feeling so good about this year. I know alot of things in my life will happen this year--both of us will drop pounds and inches, Alan will be working again soon, and our house will hopefully get underway very soon!

Life IS good!
