THE TURTLE MOVED!!

So, we got a new scale see.

I immediately decided I didn't like this scale as it was going in the wrong direction. I told Subvet that we seemed to go through scales rather quickly around here.

I'm guessing that the poor scale heard us and became fearful for it's life....

Because the next time I got on it....

It had MOVED in the right direction a fair bit!!

Which of course means that I get to move that turtle.

Yipppeeeeeee!!

So, moral of the story, strike fear into the hearts of your scales and results will follow!

Brown Plate Special

To date, since 1/14 I have lost 7.1lbs. So there you have my update.

Not bad I guess, but it could have been a lot better!

So what's up with zeros anyway??

We, as a nation, are obsessed with zeros. Think about it. a "BIG" birthday is one with a zero in it...all the other ones are minor. We want our weight under a particular zero....but it seems terribly hard to get past that zero..then once we do we're focused on the next zero to get to..and a DOUBLE ZERO is really really big.

I mean really? Any ideas folks??

Brown Plate Special

Well, I am glad to say that I actually got off my big butt and walked at work Sat night. I even went up and down 2 flights of stairs!!

As of the official weigh in..............

down 1.5lbs this week, which makes a total loss of 6lbs

YIPPEEEEEEE!!

The Posts I was supposed to post on Monday

as of Sun night I was 1.2lbs lighter....as of Mon night (the OFFICIAL weighin) I am the same. Exactly the same as last Mon. :-P

Gonna try and walk more this week. Will let you know how that goes.


MAGIC MOMENTS MONDAY!

Over the 10+ years that Subvet and I have been together he has sent me many many flower bouquets. Each one came with a well worded, heart felt message on the card. I have kept every card. A few are on my mirror, such as "Where ever you go, that's where my heart is." and "You're the best and that's what you deserve." There's also the one I got while in a particularly bad work situation that said "Remember, kick butt and take names....and if you get busy then don't bother taking names." (I think I blogged about that situation once, but can't find the post amongst all 370 of my other posts......danger of being prolific I guess)

Just little words of encouragement from the hubby that brighten my day.

What gets you through a tough day??

Go to Scraps and let us know!!

jumping on the bandwagon

I've followed Ellen on her Brown Plate Journey for awhile now and decided that I would jump in.

I have been ~ahem~ "working" at losing weight for 2 months now and am exactly 4.5lbs lighter....this means I've actually gained over the last month.

That cute picture is a button that will take you to the rules of this shindig, but basically it means that we are trying to lose weight by eating off of smaller plates, thereby "get portions under control and begin to lose weight without giving up cooking and eating the foods we love."

AND "Since accountability is essential in such matters, I'll be weighing in every Monday morning and I'll confess my weight loss (or lack thereof) in a regular Monday morning post."

Well, y'all know that Monday morning posts from me could come at any time during a week...but I will try to post my ups and downs weekly.

So, who's gonna jump in there with me?? Come on now.....hold your nose...close your eyes....and ....JUMP!!
