Ease on Down
Not really a whole lot to say this week, knocked down 2 more lbs, which brings us to -63.... Which is a big milestone for me. It's how much I weighed in high school (though I could swear I looked better then...) when I was on the "low carb" diet of fail. But anyway, I'm SUPER excited to have hit this weight, I haven't been here in, oh, 8 years, so it's very exciting! :) my 16s are starting to fit very nicely which for me is the next step to them being too big, but i'm not nearly to THAT point quite yet. :) 30 more lbs (tentatively) for this road block! Woo!

The Difference in Me
Good morning! I had one awful week, but not the kind of stress that didn't make me not want to do anything, but work even harder. That, on top of other reasons... is why I'm here to tell you I dropped 4 lbs. But, I maintained last week, so i guess this just kinda makes up for it. But it's still kinda fun to drop that kind of weight in one week. I was kind of worried that I would get off schedule for a little bit. What was my big thing this week? Zumba: Flat Abs. Hahaha! Okay, so if you know me, you know that my middle is my problem area. So I guess I feel better working one specific area. Well, when I came across a day when my Sculpt and Tone DVD wasn't working, I did Flat Abs twice (it's only like, 20 minutes) and let me tell you how my muscles did not thank me. but I thought I'd give the idea one more try (because I need help in the brain, or something) and I'm actually feeling fine today! Thats very exciting. Flat Abs is the funnest of the Zumba series for me. And I'm loving the results... Sooo... this might be a growing trend :)

Ok, now we're back
ok, so last week was a bomb because new years, and "2nd christmas" at my house... sooo I'm happy to say I maintained, sad to say I am not closer to -60 quite yet. but the month is young and so am I.
So you probably expect me to do a "new years" type post, but I'm actually going to hold off on that for the beginning of next month, for the anniversary of my blog and the start of the road block challenge :)
Until next week!

Aaaand we're back
Welcome back to real life everyone. Christmas is over and save new years eve, it's time to get back on track!
The weight in of the morning showed... not only that I maintained, but that I *lost*. It was sort of on the edge of what coooould be declared of 3 lbs, but I think I'll be safe and say I lost 2, which brings us to -57! I may hit 60 in January after all! I was nervous for a while. But anyway, now I'll be filling my system with water and weight-watchers instead of coffee and cookies. Haha!! I zumba'd today as I will be doing until it's warm again :(
I hope everyone had a wonderful christmas!

Holidays are Joyful
Hello again!
It is snowing today, in CT. I don't like snow very much, but the light stuff is okay with me. It's only when it becomes a hassle to drive in do I hate it.
But the weather is not why you're tuning in! Since I last checked in, I have lost *drumroll* 3 lbs!! which brings us to the beautiful step called -55!! Still right on track to end the Road Block by August. :)
And commence the introspective part of the blog:
I've been thinking about self-esteem, and my lack of it. I have a very odd sense of esteem. I think it is most generically described like this: I think I'm pretty, but I don't think other people think I'm pretty. And that same idea spans across a lot of my thinking about things. There are other people who are much bigger than me, but if they have that sense of self-worth... don't they seem more beautiful? :/ What I'm trying to say is I'm finding that getting thin isn't, in the end, going to give me the confidence I desire. Because no matter how good I think I look, or charming, or bubbly.... I still won't think anyone else thinks the same things I do. So I don't know how I will change that, but I am certainly going to try.

checking in
Hey Ya'll~ (<-- What? Paula Deen in the house?)
I just wanted to check in since I haven't posted since I had gone to GA. We (royal we?) are maintaining at -52 (DESPITE thanksgiving and the catered food of amazing at my workplace) So I'm feeling really good about what my metabolism has accomplished for me. haha! I actually had gained some weight but dropped it quickly from being in GA and eating yummy grease (Oh Cracker Barrel.) But come monday, we're getting back on track and maybe I'm jinxing myself, but I think this mini eat-a-thon is going to show good things for the future as now my body isn't strictly formed around making sure I don't go over my daily 25 pts (which, in 2lbs will be 24. *cry* Remember when I could eat like 28?)
Though I do laugh to think that had I not gotten sick upon returning to the north, I would have hit 55 in Nov as well. Ah. Well, maybe if I'm very good (and lucky) my body will do 10 next month and hit 60. (Wouldn't that be sweet?!)
Oh so, when I started this diet, I thought to myself, I wish I had one of those like, thermometers charts to mark how I'm doing. I actually happened to have an extra white board I had planned to keep track of my homework with (never got past my first assignments in Sept 09) So I made one! it went up to 50, and then marked "Party". Well, when I hit 50 I was like "Holy crap, I didn't actually expect this thing to fill." so I made a much sadder looking one to the right of it going to my actual goal weight. (-93) Sometimes I think it's the key to my success. haha. Having something to work towards. Making that mark every month and working towards being able to mark two of them if at all possible :)))
But anyway, I hope all my friends are doing well on their diets and keeping strong. It's hardest at the beginning, girls. But I have loads of faith in you all :D
