2 Whole Months GONE - WOW, Love those Numbers!

Okay, yes, today is my 2 months gone weigh in but before we get to those numbers, I've gotta pay respects. I did think about whether I should, here...and I decided that it's what I'm thinking ANYway, and so it should be in my diary.

Today is the 11th anniversary of the day our world changed forever. Today I want to honor those who lost their lives fighting for our freedom on September 11, 2001 and all the days after, as well. Civilians, police, fire, soldiers...everyone who has ever given (on purpose or by someone else's hand) so that we received...

We all remember that day and what came after, in different ways. Today, I would just like to thank those individuals for their service to our country! God Bless you and keep you, AMEN!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, dried eyes...yes, I still get weepy at times about it, no apologies.

Shall we get on with the weigh in?

Because...

Today marks the first day of month 3; which means I am 2 WHOLE months into the rest of my life and life is GOOD!

Let's RECAP This Whole Last Month: 

Week 4: 289.2 - Well I had moved (just barely) out of the 290's but with a 17.2 pound loss and 12.5 inches gone in month one, I was moving forward - cautiously optimistic!

Week 5: 286.2 - 3 pounds gone in one week. I like those numbers. I know I whine from time to time but 3 pounds lost in a week is pretty darn FAB!

Week 6: 282.2 - Whoa, and then I lost four in week 6. I blew right on by that 285 - well, okay, I struggled there, we all know it - and now I'm wicked close to scooching OUTTA the 280's. WOW!

Week 7: 283 - Pfft. Darn Auntie was here and she and I were NOT getting along. I had no worries through out the week, however; I didn't let HER take control of ME!

Week 8: 275.8 - WOW! I am SOLIDLY in the 270's and I am feelin' FINE!

Okay, firstly, I lost 7.2 pounds this last week. And for the month? A whopping 13.4 pounds. Wowza, I lost half that in just one week.

I know, I know. A little CRA-CRA! But I was determined not to let that Auntie get the best of me; to that end, I stayed focused and true to my goal!

I also lost 13 inches this month. YAYAYAYYAYAY!

Let's bottom line the last 56 days:

30.6 pounds DOWN.

25.5 inches GONE.

Whew.

Not too shabby, folks. I may even have to hop back on YouTube for this. Yah, I've been missin' my video makin'...

ANYway, I've gotta run today, lots to do - jewelry to sell and groceries to buy and fliers to write...busy busy busy.

Ooooh, one more thing before I jet - my goals for this week: 

Walk 30 miles
Swim 4 times (should be easy with the fishy I'm raisin')
Try a new healthy treat (to share next week)

Till next time!

Day 56 - Dear Monday...

Monday, Monday.

Rainy days and Mondays...

WooHOO, it's Monday.

Lol.

If any of that sticks in your head and lasts all day, please don't shoot the messenger.

It's Monday and while lots of people don't like this particular day, I don't mind it. It's the start of a brand new week, fresh and unsuspecting.

Who KNOWS what it will bring?

YAY.

So cheer the day and embrace what comes. There's just no reason not to.

Now we can rewind a bit..how was YOUR weekend?

Mine?

Busy. Crazy busy. And good. Went to an end of summer Lobster fest where I had a bite of lobster and some yummy brisket, among other tasty treats. Got to sleep in on Sunday and had a fun swim with Mags in the afternoon.

Oh, and the Patriots won.

All in all?

A great weekend.

And I am optimistically excited for the week. So, dear Monday, thank you for coming back around again. I look forward to what the week may bring and promise to make each moment the best it can be.

That's it, all about Monday. YAY!

Till next time!

...Tuesday it's weigh in, as I end month 2, how am I doin'? On Wednesday we'll share the map again and welcome new walkers and riders. Thursday is up in the air, I just may not BE here. And Friday, as always, another FAB fitness tip. YAY! Just loving this week already, cheers!

Day 54 - What a BUSY Day - YAY!

Happy Saturday to you! It's going to be a busy day around here and so I don't have much to say - again.

Don't worry, I'll spin that into some nonsense before today's post is done...

So let's see, let's talk about the scale. I am IN LOVE with my scale, at the moment. It's for certain a love/hate relationship; however today? ...we are life-long buds and best of friends.

278.2.

Yah. I said it. 28.4 pounds gone. I am stunned. So stunned that I went and calculated my total percentage lost. Ya ready for it?

9.2% weight loss. I have lost 9.2% of my body.

CRA-CRA!

And WOOhoo!

I tried on a pair of capris yesterday that I wasn't quite able to get buttoned but they felt good in every other way. This was straight out of my closet and I'm so excited because (since we moved) I've found a whole slew of clothes that I'd forgotten about and - as it turns out - I am crazy close to being able to wear again.

YAY.

So now that I've sharing my bursting, I'm back to the day. This very busy day. Lots to do and all of it AWEsome; I'd better get to it.

Till next time!
