Where am I?!?!

Goodness gracious, I'm finally able to sit down!! Ty has been really sick for about a week now. It started out as a runny nose, no biggie. Then all of a sudden he was running a high fever and really lethargic. He was breaking out in hives all over, but then two minutes later, he'd be fine. I took him into the doctor, but they couldn't figure out what was going on. They finally just said he probably has a virus that he is allergic to as well. Yay. So that has meant many sleepless nights with the Cranky One (weird how they always seem to be sick at night, then the sun hits and it's like nothing happened) Anyway, I still lost 1.6 at my last weigh in (can you hear the angels, because I sure can) I was really worried that I had gained because I wasn't the best tracker while I was taking care of Ty. I am so excited though because my husband's sister is getting married this weekend, and I found a very flattering dress to wear. If they know what's good for them, someone WILL ask me if I have lost any weight. I told my husband if no one does, it's his job to mention it, hopefully prompting a comment. Downside is: his family is Hawaiian and they always have tons of yummy food. My plan is that I don't want to completely deprive myself, so I'll have a taste of my favorites, and then there should be enought fresh fruit and veggies to fill in the rest. His mom makes this really yummy haupia cake, but I'm scared to look up the points because I think one of the main ingredients is coconut milk. Enough said. Well, we are leaving ridiculously early tomorrow, so I better get my rear in gear. Have a great reast of the week and weekend!

Down 1.2

I lost 1.2 lbs. last week. Part of me hoped I'd lose more, but the other part knew I wouldn't because I didn't make the best choices for how I used my points. Oh well, it's a new week. And overall I've hit the 5 lb mark - 5.8 to be exact, so that's very exciting. We're walking the big trail again tonight, but this time we're walking the opposite way, which means bigger hills, but the hilly part is shadier and cooler. So we'll see how that goes. I have never been a runner, but one of my long (very long) term goals is to run this trail. I see people doing it all the time, but I've never even dreamed of doing something like that. But one day, I'm going to do it. But for now, we'll just focus on walking it.

Yeah Baby!

4.6 pounds!!! Woo-hoo!! I was so worried that I hadn't lost anything, so when she said that I almost fell off the scale. Now, I know that the first week is usually a big loss and it's going to slow down, but I'm just going to revel in it for a while. That's pretty darn close to 5 lbs! It really made me feel motivated to keep going. I'm that much closer to doing the skinny dance!!

My first weigh in!

I had hoped that by some miracle, the Fat Fairy had come and sucked some pounds off so that I would weigh in under 200, but of course that didn't happen. 209.2 is my "official" starting weight. Which technically is better than the 211 I thought I was. I love my leader - it's a guy, which I wasn't totally sure about at first, but he is HILARIOUS. That scores major points with me, so I'm excited. My mom is a lifetime member so she gave me some cool stuff (recipes, books, etc.) to use, which is cool. I used a couple flex points and had an extra piece of pizza (gasp!) but other than that I've been right on point. No late night snacks or hiding...so far =)
