*twiddles thumbs*

So this is it. the last few pounds, right? Gaaaaaaahhhhh must.get.under.200!!!! Not this week though. Only lost 1lb. Probably would have been 2, except that I couldn't go walking for the last two days because my legs are sore from squatting to wash the blinds. (6 hours straight. and I didn't want to break it into two days)

Annyyyway. Hopefully I de-sore SOON because I need to get out there and walk. and lose these last 3 lbs! 199... almost in reach!!! I haven't been under 200 since before I was in college, so this is just amazing to me!

Total loss: -41/80

The last days of summer

I was getting a little frustrated this week. My scale jumped me up a few lbs and wasn't getting rid of them. I started weighing myself on my parents scale because it's non digital and (I'd like to think) more accurate. With only 2lbs before hitting 40 I was kinda determined this week and still, I only lost 1lb, but that is better than none and I'm sure I'll hit -40 before the end of the week (probably tomorrow or something haha) My new goal in life is to try and eat less at night. Until I can do that, I can't really say eat more during the day instead. I don't trust myself enough! I also need to take a multi vitamin or something like normal people. And I should start doing some strength training. Soo close to being under 200. Very exciting times for me :D

Total loss: -39/80

EDIT:

Oh I love editing. Weighed myself again and hellooooo I hit -40 :D Happy days indeed!

Bikers in the rain play chicken with walkers.

... Just saying. Today it is rather drizzly but not enough to stop me from going walking, which I jump at the chance to when I have time (now that it's cold.... -- Oh how I loved putting on my hoodie that has become abnormally too big for me) So I went out expecting to be the only person in the parking lot, but there were a good 5-6 cars already there. I was surprised! but that's nothing compared to a normal day so I was still kind of excited about not getting run over by bikers. Oh how I dream. Twice within the first 20 minutes of my walk (I walk about an hour or so, depending) bikers were on my side of the trail... and not moving. For the first one, he kept edging closer to the gravel bit of the path, so I gave up on him and started moving towards the other side of the path. He moved to my exact line of walking and only about 20-30 ft away did he finally move over. It was very annoying. I think he might have actually been trying to mess with me. The other biker was a pair and one was in each "lane" which I run into fairly frequently, but it was still irksome because she nearly clipped me.

But enough of my horror stories on the trail ( not much for horror, but...) The weigh in of the week comes to -38!!!! Woohoo!!! 3lbs this week! I've been trying to get back into the habit of writing everything down because it does keep me more accountable, but I have to admit i haven't been on my best behavior, but I guess the trail has been making up for that. If all goes well, I should hit -40 next week! Getting closer and closer to being under 200 and i cannot even express how amazing that feels. If I hit 40 next week, I'll be back on schedule (Sad that I'm not ahead anymore. Curse you, vacation!!!!) but I'm becoming fearful for the holidays... I am a crazy cookie baker.... Anyone want any?

Total Loss: -38/80

Heeeeere's Janie!

HELLO!!!!!!!

Hiatus is OVER! Posting before Monday, but whatever, right? I don't know why, but I didn't want to post until I had lost the weight I gained over my summer adventures. Which, before I left I was at -33, I believe. I hit that about 2 weeks ago and I was frustrated a little bit because I wasn't going anywhere. I ate less, a lot less than I should have been and wasn't losing. So last week I kinda gave up on that and ate like a normal human (on a WW diet) and poof. I start losing. Simply proving that starving yourself isn't healthy and doesn't do anything for your weight (at least, not for a while, I guess) and makes you cranky and tired. Heck I made pumpkin cookies and I've been eating those and still lost weight... not that I'm going to make that a habit.

Anyway, Deonna and I decided to buckle down and start walking again. It's still nasty hot and humid, but whatever. We both need to get back out there on the trail. 2 miles is still too little for me though, so if I can get myself out there, back to the 4+ miles! Gosh, I can walk forever!

So, as a good start back into the blog, I am at -35!!!!!! YAY!!! I am less than 10 lbs away from being under 200 and I cannot tell you how excited I am and motivated I am to keep it up :D

Total loss: -35/80 (almost half way!!!)
