Happy Wednesday to all!!! Man what a week it has been so far. First of all the good news is I hit my 5% goal!!!! I have lost a total of 16.2 lbs...I was so happy!!!
I have had a hard week so I really wasn't expecting a big loss if any. I stayed within my point range and didn't use all of my extra points; however, I have been under stress and sadness so I really wasn't sure how it was going to go. I also worked out only one time within the last week so that wasn't going for me either! Anyway, none the less something went well and right because I lost!
So.....my mind was playing crazy tricks on me this past week! I haven't had this for quite some time but Monday was probably the hardest. For those of you that don't know I lost a friend a few days ago to suicide. I was hoping to be able to get Tuesday off for the funeral but was unable to due to policies etc. since I'm new to my job. So....on Monday....I had a "screw it" attitude. My mind was trying to get me to go to McDonalds! I could taste the french fries, the chocolate shake and cookies!!! So for about 15 minutes I went back and forth with this torture. I finally convinced myself to go to Subway. I thought....good this will be easier!!! Oh NO....the whole way to Subway I was telling myself to get pizza and they have cookies there....YUMMY! Anyway, this conversation went on for about 10 minutes so I went in hoping to just hurry up and order and get out to avoid temptations but no they were busy so there I stood waiting and allowing the war to continue. I joked with some and told them if anyone could have read my mind I would have been locked up!!! BUT....I ordered healthy and walked out feeling good that I made it through! I don't care to go through that for quite some time again!
So....my goal for this week is to workout at least 3 times before my next weigh in! I know 3 doesn't sound like a lot but with my schedule it's a miracle!
I better get back to work...I hope y'all have a safe rest of your week. PLEASE take special care of yourself and if you need help with ANYTHING reach out. Life is way too short to take for granted and I don't want to lose any more friends.
Love and Peace to all....Jvonne

Happy Friday night! I hope this finds y'all doing well. Things have been going well for me. I am feeling good about myself as well as the things I am doing for myself. I'm not sure if I posted this but I have decided that for every 10 lbs that I lose I am going to reward myself with a nonfood reward. So, I am mentally creating a list of everything I would like! With the first 10 lbs I got my nails done and love them! I think with my next 10 lbs...of which I have a little over 6 to go I am going to get a facial! I have only had one and LOVED it! One of the things I want is a pedicure but I'll probably have to lose 50 lbs before that will happen with the weather the way it is!
My eating has been going well for the most part. I obviously have my days but who doesn't! I had sent my leader an email regarding some stuff and she sent some very motivational words back my way. So...whenever I need a little nudge I read that email! It's always nice getting motivational nudges! I think that is what drives us through life!
So...WW is having a role model competition. I don't know a lot about it but my leader is going to work on getting me some info. I think I'm going to apply....what do I have to lose!!!
Well...I am going to end here. I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend. Remember to take care of yourselves!

Happy Valentines Day to all of you!!! OK...to all of my single friends....don't worry...I really don't care for this day either and I'm married!!! The only reason I say that is because I think it is over rated and I don't want my husband or friends for that matter to feel obligated to show me that he loves me. Although, I will say, I was pleasantly surprised today by my husband. I am staying in Aberdeen due to being on call and I didn't think I would get to see my husband and son due to the weather. Around 11:15 am I heard this boys voice in the hall and thought to myself...that sounds like Mason....I then smiled and thought it was some other little boy. Well the next thing I know someone is knocking on my door. There are a lot of kids in this hotel so I just figured they got the wrong room...well they kept knocking so I finally went and looked and there stood my little boy and lovely husband. I was almost crying!!! So, needless to say I didn't go workout like I was going to! But, it was well worth skipping in order to spend time with my family. You really don't realize what you have until you don't get to be around them for a period of time!
So, on to my week. I know I say this every week but I will be surprised if I lose this week! I'm being serious this time!!! I feel like I have been out of control and I have used almost all of my extra points...I think I have 1 to spare if that. Today was no exception. It's weird because it is still way better than I normally would have done in the past but it is still not good! I had some chocolates, a little bit of ice cream, bread and butter!!! YUMMY!!! I know it's Valentine's Day but unfortunately the scale doesn't care! I am going to go to aerobics tomorrow night so maybe that will help a little!!! I guess we will see what Tuesday brings! I just feel so hungry this week. I'm sure it is psychological but who knows. My leader told us to ask ourselves if we were hungry would we eat an apple, orange or veggies, etc. Obviously if we answer no then we are looking for comfort food or we really aren't hungry but this week the answer has been yes 90% of the time!!! Oh this whole weight loss thing is bizarre!!
Well I hope y'all have a great week. Sounds like it is supposed to be cold but at least the sun might come out!!

Greetings to all! Sorry I haven't posted for awhile but when I think about it, it is late and I don't want to get on the computer!
Things have been going well up until tonight! First of all last week I lost 2.4 lbs for a total loss of 12 lbs. I was so shocked and happy! Tonight I am staying in Aberdeen and I ordered a chicken Caesar salad minus the dressing and had them deliver it to my room...well this time they brought bread and let me tell you it is to die for! I ate it ALL! I was so incredibly stuffed after the bread I couldn't eat the salad! UGH...bread is such a weakness for me. Normally they don't serve bread with the salad so I didn't think about it. I would have honestly asked them to keep it b/c I know I would have ate it! BUTTTTTT.....I didn't send it back and ate it! It was really good but I wished I wouldn't have ate it all! Oh well...this too shall pass!
Yesterday I started Jillian's detoxing system and so far it seems to be going OK. I have certainly noticed my bathroom visits picking up!!!
I haven't exercised for a few days so I plan on hitting up the Y tomorrow. I think that will make me feel better. It's so funny how I just go through spurts of not really caring about food to I could eat everything and anything in front of me!! I have also learned...no accepted...that I can no longer buy the 1 pt bars from WW. They are to DIE for and unfortunately I can't eat just 1 or 2! So, Becky...don't let me buy them!!!! I will get extra fruit chews!
Alright...I have gotten sucked into Housewives of Orange County so I'm going to watch that! It's nice to dream!
Take care and keep praying for spring!

WOW...I haven't wrote anything for one whole week! YIKES....I need to pick it up! It seems like when I thought about writing I got busy with something else or I didn't want to get off of Itunes or facebook!!! Anyway...here I am now!
This week has gone OK. I must admit I am nervous about the weigh in tomorrow. I know I say that every week but this week just feels and seems different. I looked back over my food journal and I have stayed within my points, to the best of my knowledge anyway, but it wasn't always the healthiest food! I also feel rather bloated....so with all of that being said I guess we will see what happens. I'm .4 lbs from 10 lbs lost so hopefully I can get that!
I plan on going to the gym tonight so maybe that will help with my attitude! Brian has started WW with me as well so I'm very excited about that. He has done so good in the last few days! I am so proud of him! I look forward to the day that we are both happy with the way we look and that we feel good about ourselves!
Well...I better get going. I hope y'all have fabulous week. For those of us in SD hang in there...spring has got to be here soon!!!

Well the good news is....I lost 1.6 pounds this week....YAY!!!! I guess the fat girl gone wild on the cake wasn't so wild!!!
The bad news is....I'm under a lot of stress right now which usually doesn't end good! It is a long, confusing story but the moral of the story is my re-certification for my job is at jeopardy due to not taking a certain class. I have written a letter asking for an extension but it doesn't sound hopeful...at least in my eyes! I hope to know more the end of this month which makes things very stressful and unknown. With that being said...there comes a lot of stress. Tonight I wanted to just go crazy and eat a huge cheese burger with a large french fry.....BUT....I didn't!!! It's funny what I crave because prior to me trying to be healthy a large cheese burger and fries would have been the last thing I would have chosen! I did break down and eat some Reese's Pieces and they were worth every single point! I had to use one extra point so I figure I didn't do too bad!
I really am enjoying the Weight Watchers meetings this go around. I have been to several other WW meetings and this one is rather interactive and that is what I enjoy! It's nice to know you aren't alone on this journey and it's also nice to get feedback from others!
Well...the Biggest Loser is about to start so I'm going to end here. I hope y'all are staying healthy and doing well.

Holy Cow...can you believe it's February already! It's funny because there is part of me that thinks "Wow it's February already" and then another part that says "Wow...it's only February"!!! I don't know about anyone else but this winter feels like it is taking forever! Oh well, I guess we don't have control over mother nature!
Well...I have decided to quit putting the day number on here because I have finally realized and accepted that this whole weight loss thing isn't a matter of days it's a matter of a life time! So, with that I will only be putting the date now!
Things have been going OK. We had Mason's birthday party this weekend and I felt like a fat girl gone wild with the cake. I did very well in the beginning but before the weekend was done and over I had like 3 pieces!! I initially was going to through the leftovers out; however, I felt guilty for throwing it away! So hopefully I didn't do too much damage for tomorrows weigh in. However, it is what it is and I will be OK!
I went to the YMCA tonight and took an aerobics class with Carol....FUN!!! She is a wonderful, amazing lady and I encourage all of you from Aberdeen to give her a try! I plan on going back on Wed. night.
Well...I hope y'all have a great night. I will write tomorrow to give you the weight update!!
Take care!
