Ignore the date, I didn't fix it when I changed batteries!

We had fun at the King Tut exhibit yesterday... I feel like a normal person in pictures now! ]]> momtomany1 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/momtomany1/665-fun-able-stand-get-your-pic-taken.html wearing size 14 jeans to work tomorrow http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/momtomany1/413-wearing-size-14-jeans-work-tomorrow.html Mon, 29 Dec 2008 02:02:10 GMT Not 14W just 14.

Hovering at 195 and quite happy. ]]> momtomany1 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/momtomany1/413-wearing-size-14-jeans-work-tomorrow.html Was told I am wasting away! http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/momtomany1/395-told-i-am-wasting-away.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 06:12:09 GMT He meant it as a compliment. I was wearing this great red top and black column skirt I got at the thrift shop and one of the brothers at the meeting commented that if I kept it up, I was going to 'waste away!' I just replied I had a lot more wasting to do if that were to happen. A couple of others commented on my loss too. Red is just my color. When I find my camera card, I will get a picture taken! ]]> momtomany1 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/momtomany1/395-told-i-am-wasting-away.html Teetering on the edge.... http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/momtomany1/389-teetering-edge.html Sun, 23 Nov 2008 14:58:06 GMT in a good way!

200.6

Scale has been very weird this week. Stayed on 203 a few days, then jumped to 205 for no good reason, then down to 202 yesteday, then 200.6 this morning.

(No I don't usually weigh every day or close to it, but I am excited about being so close to 'onederland!)

A new thrift shop opened that benefits the women's shelter. What gorgeous clothes! They are all mixed in sizes so you have to hunt but it was worth it. So many designer things with tags still on them!

I needed the black skirt for a red top I bought last week, a knit top. I tried them on here at home and my daughter's jaw dropped. "You have Curves!" she said! She agreed it looked spectacular. I also got some 12's and even one 10 because I loved it and the prices were right. Think $90 dresses for $6.99. Some killer red shoes, too!

I will have a new red dress pic to post soon! ]]> momtomany1 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/momtomany1/383-shopping-can-fun.html A vid I can actually follow http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/momtomany1/356-vid-i-can-actually-follow.html Thu, 23 Oct 2008 23:00:11 GMT and it is reasonably challenging.

Then last night I made a shake with half scoop protein powder, 6 oz milk, and another handful of strawberries. I don't usually weigh everyday and I had weighed yesterday, 212.4. But I just felt lighter today, and weighed, 210.4. Pretty darn cool. So 3 months, 32 pounds.

I am going for 12 pounds per challege, 5 challenges before I have to take a picture in a 2 piece bathing suit and post it!

The second dress is a 20, but it ties in the back so you can pull it to fit in the waist.

Waist. Such a nice word. And a waist is a terrible thing to mind!

I made it to the gym today, I will probably do 'Salsa Made Simple' tomorrow.. that Hip Hop Cardio was too complicated! but the Salsa looks like something I can follow.

]]> momtomany1 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/momtomany1/333-i-kinda-like-color-red.html One third of the way in http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/momtomany1/327-one-third-way.html Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:56:36 GMT I have lost 1/3 of the total weight I want to lose. I am planning to be very fit by the time I reach goal, so didn't want my goal to be too low.. plan on plenty of those 160 pounds on being muscle! If I am not a size 10 at that point, I will drop my goal. However, this time my weight reached 242 and I was a size 20.. last time, pre Atkins, it reached 238 and I was a size 24. The difference being, I believe, that I did not stop swimming and kept some muscle, even as I put weight back on. So I think it is realistic to be a 10 when I hit goal.

Had a long weekend, 3 shifts in 2 days, don't work today so no gym, my gym is close to work, and I don't drive into town unless I am working. So later I will pull out a hula vid or WATP. Off to clean my sewing room, got the kitchen done! ]]> momtomany1 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/momtomany1/327-one-third-way.html great day at gym http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/momtomany1/316-great-day-gym.html Wed, 01 Oct 2008 22:47:43 GMT Tuesday I had bunches of errands to do and had to cut my routine short, only did the hour elliptical.

I am not concerned about winning the 6 week challenge, but I am going to enjoy the .. lost the word. Hate when I lose words! The 'having to check in'... Oh, it'll come to me.

But to my vow. I vow, next year on my ADBB anniversary July 21, to post a picture of myself in a two piece. It may never be worn except in the sauna.. but I'll take my picture in it! The challenge will be to make it a positive experience! But a challenge is different from a vow.

Anyway, this is me at the start of 6 week exercise challenge 47. I am fully expecting to see some improvement! There are 9 full months between now and July.. so 6 more 'challenges.' Plan to join and max out everyone of them!

Teen seems to have pinkeye.. just great, need a Dr. bill! Oh well....Eating well today.. just finished some awesome radishes.

Cook one bratwurst cut in small pieces, add a bit of coconut oil since brats aren't that fatty, saute' the quartered radishes, add a few sliced onions when radishes are almost soft.

Knowing I needed to post some miles for the mileage challenge helped, and I kept thinking, walking burns belly fat, get out there!

Progress- I can now keep walking after I reach the tops of the hills instead of having to huff and puff and stop to catch my breath!

My work schedule is getting all jacked up. I have been at my store 5 years, I am the floral manager. But I also have been helping in the fuel station and doing that so long they have me train new folks out there. They keep hiring folks that I train, then they flake. You know young folks these days, some of them don't really NEED to work. So now they have gotten so shorthanded they are having to pull me out there several afternoons this coming week, which they know I hate. I have kids in school, one my 7 year old grand and she needs 'Grammy' home in the afternoons.

It will also mess up my gym routine.

Ah well.. I am up, breathing, about to eat some nice crunchy flax cereal.... ]]> momtomany1 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/momtomany1/277-walking-burns-belly-fat-say-me-now-conviction.html
