Not happy

The scale was my friend for several weeks and now it is NOT. It keeps creeping back up. Week of July 4th so will be looking for patriotic themes this week.

Weigh in

Lost another 2.5 lbs, I know it is good but on Friday when I weighed I had lost 4 lbs but today is my official weigh in, garden producing lots of cukes and squash will be ready this week and tomatoes maybe next weekend, eating good except Chinese the other day it always ruins me and I don't really even like it. So total weight loss is....30 lbs. Yeah

Didn't think I was that busy

Have not sent anything this way in almost a week, swimming everyday and will have over 50 activity points this week (a first), eating good, I guess everything is just boring, weigh in tomorrow, hoping for a 3 lb loss.

It rained

A very rainy day so went gambling with my sister and didn't get my swim in. I had hoped to get it in after we came home but went visiting my cousin and it was too late. Maybe I will try (fingers crossed) to get a swim in before my official weigh in tomorrow.

Tried something new

Buffalo Wild Wings was NOT a hit, had chicken strips and onion rings and I know not the best choice but the choices were limited and I only ate half my meal and gave the other half away, still stayed within all my points though

Little off plan today, got up late so ate some pancakes for breakfast, I don't buy them because I love them toooooo much, got them from my sister's house so ate them for brunch, and of course I am already hungry like pancakes can do so went to the garden and picked some cukes for a snack. Now that is filling!!

Weight is finally melting

This swimming thing is something great at least for now. According to the scale today after my 40 minute walk, I am down another 4 pounds plus I swam for hour too. Although weigh in isn't til Sunday morning, I hope I stay at a 4 pound loss. Babysitting for a friend this evening.

Daily exercise

Did not realize what a good workout swimming would turn out to be esp for my bad knee. I have logged in 6.5 hours in 7 days.

Cursed weight

I finally dropped below the cursed number on the scale first time since last October and to save my life I cannot remain below this number. I was so excited when I weighed this morning one whole pound under. What did I do? I craved a candy bar soooooo bad all day and since that weight is cursed I gave in and got it. I even came home and ate a snack cake. UGH!!! No swimming this evening due to rain.

Another site on the WV back roads.... A church dog house

I tried

Ended up with toast, I cracked an egg for a protein breakfast, but almost gagged. I am just fine with toast or cereal for breakfast and an early lunch.

My weigh in

I am losing as slow as this turtle. I gained one pound this week. I am at my curse weight. No matter what plan I try I always get stuck here and can't move forward. Although this time I have a little advantage I have summer in front of me and I lose best in the summer
