I am down 1.8lbs and I even had a 16oz strawberry marguerita yesterday, not to mention a piece of carrot cake. Yes, I am so far off the wagon I can't even see it from here. I will catch up to it though. I have to in order to get to the place I want to be. I still lost though and a loss is a loss regardless of how close it came to not being. (does that even make sense?) I will try to be better today and it should be easier since I am home. Celery fills you up just as well as carrot cake but without the extra 600 or so calories.
I can and will do this, only 33.2lbs to go til I reach my next milestone. I can and will do this. Just keep swimming, swimming swimming, just keep swimming.... Not in the pool today though, now we are finally warming up and so of course we have thunder storms, they might open it later if it clears though...we shall see.

Oh Crap
Again I am ovulating and thus must eat everything in sight. I am having a very hard time sticking to my calories for the day. Although one of the websites I checked said that I have to add calories to my diet when I get the exercise I am supposed to; not really sure how that works to lose weight but hopefully this time it does. Either way I cut my hair short again so that should help me lose at least a few ounces this week if not more.
I am still trying to focus on the goals ahead...I can do this.
I need to keep up the exercise though, especially the crunches and other ab work, the more muscle I can build there the more fat it will burn there.
My biggest problem area is still what I call my "ass shelf", still haven't really found anything to make that, just melt away. So I will have to keep at it. Hopefully just losing the weight brings it down some. I just wish I could fast forward to the "after" picture, but I must tortoise up and just keep swimming... Speaking of which it has been much too cold these past two weeks to swim. We only made it to 80 one day and there were a couple of days when we didn't hit 70. In July....in Indiana...that is not common. I hope it warms up in time for my vacation as I plannned to go swimming everyday.
Oh well, I have to go make lunch now and get ready for work.

Must stay focused.
Okay, no resting on laurels now that I have reached 50. 50lbs is awesome but I have yet to earn laurels. 50 more pounds and we can talk about it but not right now. I am so looking forward to getting to the weight I was when I met Greg.
I have broken down my weightloss into manageable increments.
1) 50lbs (I can check that one off)
2) the weight I was when Greg & I met (35lbs to go)
3) under 200lbs (that will be 35lbs from goal 2)
4) my goal weight (40lbs from there)
so see the biggest goal is out of my way. Granted they will become harder to acheive as I get to them. The smaller you are the harder it is to lose weight. I think goal 4 is probably going to be the hardest but by that time it will be so much of a way of life I don't think it will be a struggle, it will just take a long time.
I will also be at a size by then that I will feel better being more physically active. Speaking of which I have really been blowing it on my exercises for the last few days and I need to get back on track. No time like the present. I am off to do them now.
Hope you have a great day.
