… I made my mini goal this morning!!!!!  WHOOOO! 

Hi ladies!  It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood today!  I woke up and weighed myself even though it’s one day before I’m supposed to and I am finally down to 145!  That was my mini goal! 

I practically floated out of the house to get to the gym and COULDN’T WAIT to get to work so I could log on, post, and update my weight tracker!

I’ve set a new mini goal of 140 pounds.  This one is a little scary since I can’t remember the last time I weighed that little.  It’s been probably years!  I know at least 5 years.  It took me 2 months and 2 weeks to get down to my first mini goal, and this next one can’t take that long! 

I have a wedding coming up people!!!

So, my plan is to meet my next mini goal in 3 weeks.  That will be Thursday, March 20.  You heard it here on my blog so now I have to do it! 

In other news, Texas is brimming with excitement over the upcoming primary on March 4th.  I have to get out and vote early today or tomorrow!  It’s kind of cool having the delegates here in Dallas.  Makes us feel important. 

Next weekend we are going to Chicago for Jake’s sister’s wedding.  I’m getting really excited about our trip and can’t wait to see everybody.  Not to mention, see Jacob in a tux.  YUMMY!  MMM I love that man!

OK now that I made you all want to barf, have a great day. :)  Over and out!  Reb

I tried updating my weight tracker but apparently when I entered 146.5 on Friday, it already changed to 146.  So it took a little excitement out of entering 146 today.  I am trying to weigh only on Fridays, but this morning I felt skinny and couldn’t resist.  I’m so glad I liked what I saw on the scale!  If it had gone up, I might have cried!  Instead, I smiled and put on a pair of pants I usually avoid b/c they are uncomfortable.  Today, still a bit tight but feeling much more cozy since my 4 recent pounds!

 I know, 1/2 pound isn’t much, but if the scale is moving in the right direction, I’m happy!  Go me!!

 Now, if I could just figure out how to get it to drop off of certain areas (FAT ARMS!!!!) sigh…. but hey, I’ll take it wherever I can get it!

 :)  Later taters!

Well good evening ladies!  You are looking skinnier, I think! :) 

Had  a great workout today.  I’m loving this Buff Brides program - I’m telling you, it’s awesome!  If you need help figuring out what to do in the gym, it maps everything out for you!  I was really in the zone and getting ready to go sit in the sauna at 8:00 p.m. when I heard the announcement that the gym would be closing in five minutes.  What???  I thought 24 Hour Fitness was um… open 24 hours?  Guess not.  Apparently I’m not very observant at 5:00 a.m. when I usually go

Last night was fun - I had the girls over for a Beauticontrol party and we had a spa night.  It was great to have people in the new house!  Feels like it’s actually mine now.  I did cheat a bit shhhh!  I had a few beers and some pasta salad and nibbled on brownie pieces and Milano cookies.  Oh well!  It was a party, after all.  I guess I get one cheat day a week.  That sounds like a good strategy!

 I had a bit more pasta salad today right before the gym too.  OOPS!  But I figure, a day is 24 hours, and that 24 hours of cheating was over at 7:00 p.m. today.  So here I sit, eating almonds for dinner and watching Forrest Gump.

OSCAR NIGHT!!! TOMORROW!  love it!!!  Seeing all the beautiful people in their formal gowns always makes me want to do sit ups

Night yall!

Hello everyone!  Gosh, it’s been a while, almost 2 months.  I find it hard to report a lack of progress or talk about my boring day to day life, so today, I come to you with exciting news!!  I have lost 3.5 pounds and am now down to 146.5 as of this morning!  I know weight fluctuates quite a bit from day to day, so I’ve decided not to weigh myself again until next week to avoid bone-crushing disappointment. 

 I think the weight loss has come from low-carbing it (I know, everyone has mixed feelings, but it’s the ONLY thing that has ever made my weight budge, even a little), exercise (Buff Brides program - ROCKS!  Even if you’re not a bride to be, AWESOME!) and lack of holiday treats everywhere I turn/family guests who express love with food in house.

 :) Yes, we moved into our new house in January and 3 short weeks later had a house full of noisy and fun relatives (his parents and mine, plus his aunt and uncle) who LOVE to cook and don’t understand nutrition, or care, I suppose.  SO, finally back to my routine and happy to be here!

It’s amazing how much skinnire I already feel, I feel like I look different even though I’m sure others wouldn’t notice, but I do!  Also, I had a milestone birthday - the big 3-0 on February 11th! 

 WOW, okay, next time I won’t wait so long and have so much to report.  But can I say a little cheer for myself!  3.5 pounds, the hardest part is getting started!  GO ME!!!!
