Well, I am back!! DSD's graduation party was a success, she said it was exactly how she wanted it. I am super proud of her!!!

Back on track, even though I didn't do horrible this weekend!

So yeah, never ate at night. Just a crazy night that got away from me. It was one of those "Leftover" nights for dinner, so I was making 3 different things for 3 different people, and I always give DS a bath and get him in his jammies before I go to Zumba, which I did, but he was being sassy and into EVERYTHING, so I was chasing him around all night. Got home from Zumba and it was 9, and I totally had no appetite.

SUPER hot here today! Should be up around 90 with LOTS of humidity. Yuck!! And DS has a soccer game at 5:30. Today is also DS's last day of elementary school. My baby is moving on to middle school...so sad! Yesterday they had their awards day, and he came home with 6 certificates and 3 medals. He was most proud of receiving Outstanding Athlete from his gym teacher (he said only 5 kids in the whole 5th grade, so probably 90 kids, got them). Weigh in today!!!

Had my weigh in yesterday. Down 4.2 pounds, for a grand total of 16 pounds since I started!! Woohoo for me. I am hoping to get one more week of big numbers. Twenty pounds would have me having lost 10% of my body weight, and get me to my first mini-goal (and a massage and pedicure!).

 

[BabyTigger99]

School's out for summer!! And it sure feels like summer here! We got up to 97 yesterday. Unfortunately, DS had a soccer game, and later that night, the heat hit him. He was NOT feeling good. One more day of hot weather, then a SUPER cool down into the low 60s. It's the roller coaster we call Wisconsin weather!

Hi! My name is Lisa, aka Castillo Mom. You posted on my journal earlier today and mentioned that you're also on WW so I thought I'd pop over to see how you're doing since I'm a newb at this. You're doing great and I see that you're exercising and having daily snacks. Those are two of my downfalls I think, I'm not always well prepared so I've skipped a couple of meals at work and I haven't started exercising yet. Your weight loss has been inspirational, thank you so much for the encouragement.

Take care!

 

[BabyTigger99]

Thanks for reading, Lisa. I know I need snacks to stay on track, so I make good decisions about them. And I am getting to the point now that I love exercise! Even if you start out with just 10 minutes a day, and build from there, exercise is amazing!

 

[BabyTigger99]

TGIF...totally! It has been a crazy week at our house this week. Time for things to get back to normal...or at least somewhat normal!! DH and I are headed to a movie tonight I think, and then tomorrow I am going up north to pick the boys up (they went up to my parent's cabin last night after DS11's soccer game), and Sunday we are going to my SIL's house for her and DH's birthday.

Happy 42nd birthday to my husband today. I asked him this morning if he wanted to go out to dinner tonight, and he said "Well, you weigh in tomorrow morning, and I know you try and watch things the night before you weigh in, and I know you love Monday night Zumba class, so we can go a different night this week" Awww!

I am feeling like I want to eat horrible crap lately. Nope, not PMSing, just need some crap I guess!! Hopefully I have enough "good" snacks to get me over this!!

You are making such excellent progress! Keep it up. You are doing things the right way. No crash dieting here, just developing new habits and incorprating exercise. Great work so far
