A small loss, but at least it's a loss

This week I'm down .6, which isn't much, but I'm OK with that, and I'm grateful to be down 12.6 total. The picture will explain part of the reason I didn't lose more. The Sorensens gave us a very sinful thank you. Kevin baked us one of his amazing (and when I say amazing I mean amazing) chocolate cakes. It was enormous and divine! I had one good size piece on Sunday, three bites on Monday, none on Tuesday and I'm eating the last piece right this very minute. It was worth every point, but now it's time to get serious again! (I told Kevin and Steve if they bring me another cake I'm going to have my WW leader track them down and feed them baby carrots until they barf!)

I made a goal to be at a 20 pound loss by the time we leave for General Conference on April 3rd. It's a very reasonable goal and I intend to achieve it! And once again, although it's small, I'm donating this 1/2 pound to Pauli.

An Even Dozen

I lost 1.4 this week so that gives me a loss of 12 pounds even. I'm really excited to be headed in the right direction. I'm looking forward to hitting the 15 pound mark...hopefully in a couple of weeks. My clothes are looser and it feels good! Today I bought a points tracker that goes on my key chain to help me keep track of my points throughout the day. I'll tell ya, 23 points aren't much and they go pretty quickly if you're not careful!

I'm seriously considering buying a Wii Fit. I just can't seem to motivate myself to exercise and I think the kids would love the Wii fit, too, so I may bite the bullet and go for it! I've heard it calls you names and tells you you're fat and also that it lectures you if you skip your exercise routine. So, although I'm a little scared of the Wii, it may be just what I need to burn some very unwanted calories.

Once again, I'm dedicating these pounds to Pauli. I love you, Pauli! Hang in there!

These pounds are for Pauli!

I love you, Pauli! Hang in there!

I think worrying must burn calories because I lost 2.4 pounds this week. That puts me at 10.6 pounds total. I'm really happy about he loss, but I'm so concerned about Pauli that it seems trivial and unimportant. I am grateful to be taking better care of my health.

Not much else to say, except I'm praying for encouraging news today and grateful for the Lord's constant care and guidance in our lives.

I'm frustrated!

Uggg! I was so good this week. I was really careful about what I ate, including eating veggies during the Superbowl, and I upped my exercise and I only lost .2 pounds. I was really thinking I'd done well. My clothes are noticeably looser but it's not showing up on the scale.

I'm frustrated, but not discouraged! One thing I didn't do last week was enter my food on the web site so maybe that did make a difference. I know I stayed within my points but tracking is important so I'll get serious and do it this week. Hopefully next week I'll be a bigger loser!

How many calories in a bug?

OK, this is hilarious! This morning Dave and Jessica and I headed to cardiac hill to endure the pain and torture that it so happily inflicts! On the last lap down the hill Dave swallowed a bug, and I don't think it was a small one! He hacked and coughed all the way to the car. He said he could feel it wiggling around in his throat. He's such a drama queen! Jessica was cracking up! How can you recognize a happy walker? By the bugs on their teeth! Here's a tip, Dave...close your mouth when your walkin' in the bushes! : )
