F$#&%@G Water Weight... Grrrrr.

My feet and ankles have been swelling

since mid-last week. 

And I have no idea why. 

I am very careful with my 

sodium intake, and

I'm drinking LOTS of water.

Yet, each night, my ankles

look like this.  

And you can just imagine what 

effect it is having on the scale.

HOT DAMN!! The Girl Can Run!!

I am shocked.

At myself.

Friday I walked 4 miles, 

jogging a little bit of it.

Sunday I walked just under 2 miles,

running most of the last lap.

Bad weather forced me to quit.

Monday I walked/ran another 4 miles, 

and I did the same again tonight. 

Week 16 Weigh In -

This morning for my 

official Weigh in, 

I only lost .8 for the week.

Not even a pound.

But I'm not letting myself get 

too down about it.

I know that I have been

retaining water, because 

my feet and ankles have

been swelling slightly.

So I have high hopes for 

my weigh in next week.

Somebody Get Me Some Pain Meds - PLEASE!

I am SO SORE today!!

Last night after my 

daughters Softball game

a friend and I went to

the school track and 

walked for a few hours.

I have no idea how many

loops we made around it,

because we talked the entire

time which really helped the

time fly by.  Twice, we made

ourselves run.

17 Years of Shame Come To An End.

I am only 2 pounds away from 

reaching my 50lbs LOST goal!

The time has flown by so fast!

I began my weight loss journey

on January 3rd. 

A New Year....

A New Me.

I can't believe how far I have come

in such a short time. 

And I'm not referring

to just pounds.

I still have a long ways to go....

I need to lose another 105 pounds 

before I reach my goal....

Week 15 Weigh In -

This week I lost 5.5 lbs!!!

Booyah!!!

Total Weight Loss So Far: 48! 

I'm hoping to hit my 50 pound goal next week!

Woohoo!!!

Safe For Now -

Just a quick post 

to give an update on

my Diagnostic Mammogram.

I AM CANCER FREE!! 

Woohoo!!

Me In All My Wiggly Jiggly Glory -

I bit the bullet this morning

and Posted Pictures of me

here on the Blog. 

ugh.

I HATE them! 

My last photo taken I had

lost 20 pounds. 

My intention was to take

new photos every 4 weeks.

Somehow that didn't happen.

I do need to take pics again

because I have lost another 

20 pounds. Actually, 22.5.

I Suck As a Tooth Fairy

I do not have a great record as a tooth fairy.  

It's not horrible...... but it's not perfect.  

Last night was no exception.  

My son came out of the bathroom
after taking his shower, 

and showed me the tooth he had just lost.  

I said "Wow! You'll have to be sure and put that under your pillow".  

He left mumbling something about hoping the tooth fairy 

would leave him a $20 bill.
(YEAH RIGHT!!! )  

The night before, My daughter had a friend spend the night, 

and my husband had set up
a small tent in the living room
so the girls could "camp out". 

 Earlier that day I had told the kids
they could sleep in the tent that night. 

NOT realizing the tooth fairy would 

be CRAWLING her fat ass
in there to retrieve a tooth.

Week 14 Weigh In -

This week was so frustrating for me.

About halfway through the week

my Wii Fit said I had lost .4lbs.

By Friday,  I had not lost any more weight.

I was VERY disappointed.

So I was not expecting much when

I went for my Official Weigh In today.

But Lo and Behold 

I lost 3.5 pounds this week!!!!

Woohoo!!!!

I have now lost 42.5 pounds!!!

My mom told me that this is common.

That sometimes your body holds on

to the weight until that last day or two

then it suddenly drops.

She said that is why they recommend

people NOT to weigh themselves 

throughout the week.

After a couple of disappointing weigh ins 

lately, I am THRILLED with my loss this week!

Batter UP!!

Yesterday my daughter had her 

first Softball "Game". EVER. 

It was actually just a 

"mock scrimmage" against

one of the other teams in her age group.

(7-8yr old)

The girls did very well!

Especially considering that this

is the first year for most, 

if not all of them.

The team they played had experienced 

players that have played together since T-ball, 

and has already competed in an all-day

tournament this year.

Our girls have only had 4 practices so far.

EVER.

My daughter has only had 3, 

because she was sick

and missed one practice.

It was fun watching them.

Our girls had NO CLUE what they 

were doing, it was like watching 

chickens running around with their

heads cut off.

Dear God: Please Save My TaTa's

Yesterday I had to go get my first Mammogram.

Not fun.

First.....I'd like to say

that I think all men should

periodically have to go get

their penis's smashed.

Before getting the girls 

manhandled and smashed 

flat like a pancake,

the girl doing the mammogram

had told me she would show

me the images when she was done.

She didn't.

Instead she gave me some boobies

to play with and practice on.

There were 3 of them on a board.

One breast had no lumps.

One was a fibrocystic breast.

And the other was a breast with lumps.

She left the room

to show the radiologist 

my results.

Week13 Weigh In -

This week I lost 1.5 pounds.

That brings my total weight loss so far to 39 pounds.

39!

Soooo close to 40!
