So It Turns Out I Am A Loser Again!

I lost 2lbs.  Maybe I should celebrate with a big whopping bowl of my world famous chili.  And then next week I will be writing about me gaining 5lbs.

Hi!

It has been a few days since posting.  It has been a nut house the few days and I have not had time for anything.  I have lost a few more pounds and am still on plan.  This weekend will be another test for sure.  Holidays are always the worse for food.

My Belt Has Been Blessed By The Pope

I recently discovered that the belt I have been using was blessed by the Pope.  I was so excited to see how holy is was.  Along with the original holes, it now has 5 more holes in it to accommodate the weight lose.  This is an exciting thing.  And to share some information that will probably fall under TMI, I desperately need to wear the belt because my pants keep falling down and I can even take them off without unbuttoning them.
Is that exciting or what? 

Awards For Special People

I'm not one for passing along letters, emails, and the such.  But, I received an award from Lesia and, although not obligated, I wanted to return the kindness.  You won't see me doing this often, if at all, but sometimes it needs to be said.  So, there are two that get this.
So here goes:
LESIA....I decided to give her the "Awesome Blogger" award because she is just one awesome inspiration to everyone.  I have not found anyone who has been able to overcome the struggles and curve balls life has thrown at her.  If you feel like life sucks and feels you are alone with it, read her blog.  You will change your tune rather quickly.
Thank you Lesia for sharing some of your life with us and showing us that even the worst is not enough to make us give up.

JENNIFER....You are so great about sharing.  Even when the chips are down and your weight is not, you always share how you are feeling and don't hold back.  You understand everyone and know exactly how most are feeling while going through the struggle of losing weight.  Keep going and keep losing.  You are a "big loser" to me and I look forward to you being an even bigger one soon.

What A Loser!

Even with the weekend being the way it was, I did well.  Meaning, I had a few things I should not have.  But I lost 4lbs.  I need to keep focused and concentrate on my goals.  This weekend went well, but I did eat some things I should not have.  It was a temptation that I gave in to.  Shame on me.

I am now fully committed again and moving forward and getting excited again.

Either Yes or No!

This morning I find out if I am going under the knife.  My orthopedic doctor is going to make the decision as to whether or not I am to have knee surgery.  So in less than an hour I will be making plans for surgery or stocking up on Excedrin because I will be just dealing with the pain instead of the surgery.  Nervous?  Nah!  OK, a little.

Tested and Passed

I was definitely tested yesterday and today.  I had to make a special trip to North Jersey and we all know (those who truly know) about the food in Jersey.  It was a quick trip and I knew I would not be there long.  I left yesterday afternoon and got back this afternoon.  I passed all the deli's, diners, and pizza places and I was still able to keep my eyes on the road and keep going.

The reason for the trip was to get a copy of our marriage certificate.  Long story as to why, but it was necessary.

Back On, Back On, And Back On!

I am back on track.  Whew!  Was I ever glad to get my order yesterday.  And like Jennifer, it felt like Christmas!

Up, Up, Up and Back Down

I didn't write yesterday because I knew I had gained a few pounds last week.  But I decided that I need to write about it.  I need to write about all the successes and the failures as well.  Now, I really don't think it is a failure, but more like a set back.  I have no excuses except that I did not have my food and It was a bit difficult to stay on track.

So, I gained 3 pounds.  But, food will be here today and I will drop that 3 in no time and be back where I need to be.

Weigh In Tomorrow

I am nervous as anything about tomorrow.  I have to weigh myself in the morning.  I am nervous because I have not had my regular food and had to improvise for the last week.  I was careful, but I just an so nervous about putting on weight.  I worked so hard to lose what I have and I know it will be discouraging to see any gain.

I hope I can get past any gain and just keep focused on the end result.
