W-Day #17

It's nice when a good week pays off and that's exactly how I felt on Saturday morning when Joyce said, "you're down 1.4 lbs." I knew last week was a decent week but until I actually see the numbers on the scale I am half the believer, the scale confirms what I was thinking and it makes me 100% a believer in the WW program. Although I cannot pat myself on the back for NOT stepping foot in the gym last week (ugh, why, why can't I just go) I will have to admit that grocery shopping, planning ahead, and packing lunch has been a positive change! Christo's 30th birthday is on FRIDAY so lets hope I can stay on track in ____ this upcoming weekend. I'm surprising him on a 4 day getaway and he actually thinks he can get it out of me now... he'll know where we're going soon enough!

Bye Bye World Cup and Bye Bye BEER

The World Cup equaled a month of BEER, emotion, BEER, excitement, BEER, Christo shouting at the TV, BEER, highs and lows... then yesterday... the biggest low... Holland lost to Spain in the final game of the World Cup 1-0. Christo has followed the Dutch team since before he could eat solids and boy has this been one crazy month! I hate how this World Cup had to end but I've had a blast and I'm ready for Brazil in 4 years! I've also decided this is a good time for me to "cleanse" and break up with BEER, well... until I'm 30!

W-Day #16

Okay, so this weekend I saw a loss but I felt a bit robbed. I am down .8 lbs... I was hoping for a little more. Last week was one of those weeks that I felt like I was on plan, not that I slack off on a regular basis but I just felt really in ww mode and to walk away with a .8 bummed me out! I have about 6 weeks to my inital goal of 30 for 30, 30 lbs of weight loss for my 30th birthday on Aug. 27th. I know I need to step up the working out so that's my goal for the next 6 weeks!

W-Day #15

Well... it's been a long time a comin' BUT I'm so thrilled to be writing this post! I finally got over the 20 lb mark! I feel like I have spent the month of June going from 19.2 to 19.6 to 19.8... UGH! I got the good news on Saturday morning before heading to the Beer Garden in Astoria to watch soccer and consume pint after pint of "leaded" Czech beer... yikes. I am down 1.4 lbs and it started out the Holiday weekend with a BANG! Happy 4th!
