Heidi21062~*Gonna Get To Goal*~Journal

heidi21062 · 10-25-2006, 11:03 AM

Okay...I'm gonna give this journal thing another try....I started one way back when, but very rarely wrote anything in it...I guess because most days I wasn't on plan and it was easier not to record it...then I didn't have to admit it...I guess it's easier to push it out of your mind when you don't see it in 'black & white'.....

I have been on plan for 15 days now! I'm very excited about that...I think that's a record for me....

Hopefully keeping this journal will help keep me on track and help me reach my goal!

I've also lost 5.8 lbs since the Gutter Girls started our new challenge! They are such a wonderful support group - gosh, I

them! Over the past 7 months I have made friendships that will last a life time....Woo-Hoo what a ride! Or as my DH's Harley mug reads...'It's Not the Destination...It's the Journey...' (I should put that in my siggy...) and I'm having a terrific time on my journey with this group of incredible women!

Anyway...enough of my ramblings for now...I'll BBL!

heidi21062 · 10-26-2006, 02:15 PM

Today's weight is 164.8...5.8 lbs. to go till I hit the 150's! I hit 159 on our first challenge...and stayed there for about a day...

This time it's for keeps!

So far today my menu has been good...

B - Bacon & cheese - I'm not much of a breakfast eater....
L - Antipasto salad - lettuce, tomatoes, onions, hot peppers, salami & cheese...topped with oil & vinegar....yum!!!
D - Still in the planning stage!

It feels to good to be on plan! My normal 3:00 sugar craving has disappeared!!! Now...I need to work some exercise into my schedule!

heidi21062 · 10-30-2006, 09:59 AM

I haven't had time to post since last Thursday, but my eating has been on plan! Yesterday I was at 162.8...today I'm back up to 164...

I soooo want to get into the 150's!!!

B - LC yogurt & coffee

I may start leaving off the coffee. I think I may be using too much Coffee-Mate Pumpkin Spice creamer - that stuff is addictive!

I really need to get back to Callanetics or some type of exercise...

heidi21062 · 10-31-2006, 07:42 PM

Happy Halloween!!!!

I made it through the day without eating any Halloween candy! I only bought kinds that I don't like to hand out to the trick-or-treaters..hey, you do what you have to do to stay on plan!

I made Linda Sue's Taco Soup last night...I substituted chicken for the hamburger...it was so good I made it again tonight, only this time I used hamburger...yum!

I'm so excited...we found a location for Sami & Steven's wedding...most of the places they liked were already booked...but we found a place in Virginia
Beach...it is awesome...they will be married in the garden, then have the reception in the ball room....there is also a spa on the grounds so Sami will be able to have a morning of pampering before the wedding....

Tomorrow is the Gutter Girls weigh-in day...I am soooo hoping for a significant loss! I have been so on-plan since this challenge started...I am really proud of myself! I suppose part of my motivation is the up-coming wedding...oh well...whatever works...now I just need to get off my butt and start working-out!

My menu for today was...

B - Bacon & some cheese
L - Taco soup
D - Taco soup

heidi21062 · 11-01-2006, 05:47 PM

Weigh-in day for the Gutter Girls! I'm down to 164.0! 7.2 lbs. since the challenge began! Woo Hoo!

Mel78 · 11-02-2006, 05:27 AM

You are really stepping it up and making it happen this challenge!!!

KUTGW Ms. Thang!!!

I am glad things are coming together for the wedding. Your DD is a lucky one to have such an awesome mom.

Hey! Thanks for the cheer leading! I can always use it!

I know what you mean!!! Between trying to keep up with everyone's journal and keep up with the challenge thread, I don't have much time to do what I need to do here at work!

I can't wait to get into the 150's...For the last week I've been bouncing back-and-forth between 162-164 for about a week...

...not sure why because I've kept my eating legal...

I'll pray for a whoosh this week!!!
