One pound. woohoo

Lost 1.2 when I weighed in Tuesday.  Hope to see more of a loss the next weigh in.  Walking everyday, eating much better, drinking water...so I'm doing all the right things.  All together, I've lost 13 lbs since July 6, so I have to be happy about that.  Moving on....

WW and other stuff

I went to the WW meeting last night and weighed in at 204.5.  Since July 7, I've really tried to make better food choices and exercising more.  Apparently it's worked, but if I didn't go to WW or some other support group, I'd surely stop.  I'd have one of those days where I forget I'm fat, then it would be all downhill from there until something would make me snap back to reality.  Anywho, I really liked the meeting and the leader.  I knew her from the gym I work out at as she's a fitness instructor and we've had a couple of conversations.  I've never taken any of her classes, but she's just a friendly type of person and encouraging. 

Hopefully by this time next week I'll know for sure about having the church and can start making real plans as opposed to these plans  in my head.  They don't get checked off.  We've decided on December 11, and while it may be a bit cool outside, my sister and I think a big (make that BIG) tent off the side of the church coming out of the fellowship hall will do just fine with a couple of heat lamps.  That way we can use the fellowship hall and the outdoors will give us more room.  All stuff that can be worked out, but the  I'm having claustrophobic thoughts of 100 people ( really hope it's not more than 60 ) crammed into the fellowship hall. 

I'm so thankful to have a wonderful mother, sister and brother.  My father is a piece of work, but whatever.  I guess if I didn't know the difference, I wouldn't be so thankful for the people who love me.  It has taken me a long, long time to figure that out.

I do!

Yes I do!  And I'm going to say it in front of God and everybody on December 11, 2010.  So I have roughly 3 months and 3 weeks to get this planned.  Woohooo!  Although the date is pretty well set for us, we really want to get married at our church and will have to 'book' it for that day.  So we'll see.  Hopefully by the weekend, we will know if it will be that day. If we can't be married at Jackson Pres., we just might get married in the backyard of his parents house. 

I'm going to go check out a  WW meeting tomorrow night.  I've no idea what to expect and I'm really not sure I need alot of stringent rules right now while I'm planning a wedding, but I HAVE TO LOOK GREAT IN MY DRESS!  When I get one.  And I won't get one until I lose the lbs.  I say 25 lbs before 12/11 is doable.  Starting tomorrow. 

I'm thinking I'll try WW, although I absolutely loathe the thought sharing my fatness with a group of strangers, I just don't know what else to do.  I also hate journaling food.  But maybe, just maybe, it will help me change my attitude and get me motivated to lose the lb's.  We'll see...I'm going to check out a meeting and go next week.  

Dog Days of August

Can definitely tell it's August around here...too hot to do much of anything.  Can't even bear to be outside until after 9 pm.  Haven't worked out in a week, but I'm going to go tonight. I don't feel like I've gained any weight, but I doubt I've lost any either.  My energy reserves get very low in hot weather. 

On the love front:  I'm in it!  And it's great, I tell ya!  Who knew? 
My grandmother passed away last month and the only thing she ever wanted to talk to me about was my stinking love life and I HATED to be asked about it, but now that I have one and would love to share it with her, she's gone.  But I have a good feeling she knows!
