BEYOND BAFFLED

SO I weighed myself today and I STAYED THE SAME..THE SCALE DID NOT MOVE AN OUNCE!!!! GRRRRRRRRR, sooooooooooooooooo annnoyed! I worked out really hard this week, and I counted my calories, and I do not get it! The surgery was supposed to help with this and I feel like as successful as I have been, it' not working anymore!!! Doctor said it will come off and that I just need to be extra vigilant and mindful of my every food related move....I just am really pissed off, but I guess I should be GRATEFUL that the scale is not moving upward! God, I really hope next week is better, the weeks are dwindling down and I want to run a portion of that 5K on September 1! I also want to be baby ready by the end of 2012 and I have 65 more pounds to go...Please offer your best advise if you have any! Thanks for reading!

Valentine's Week Results

Before I get into the heart of this post, I just wanted to let you all know that I am probably going to be posting later than normal from this point on. It is really difficult to collect my thoughts before work also known at the "butt crack of dawn!!"
I weighed myself this week and I am unsure how to take it, I STAYED THE SAME!!! I am still down 109 pounds (49.44 Kilos). It was Valentine's week and I felt like I handled things responsibly. Frank had gotten me an edible arrangments bouquet with a few chocolate covered strawberries mixed in. I ate about 5, but I counted every single one! They are 50 calories each, in case you wanted to know, lol. On Saturday, Frank took me out for our Valentine's dinner and I definitely enjoyed myself...Braised short Ribs are DELICIOUS and I had some gelato and a few tastes of Frank;s chocolate torte...Now I counted every single calorie that was consumed so on one hand I am disappointed that I stayed teh same but on the hand I am happy becuase I had two events that were not part of my typical week. This is how I am trying to think about it...it was Valentine's Day and I think I would have been depressed if for my Valentines dinner I had grilled chicken and a boring salad! So I guess I am living my life and I do not apologize for it becuase I counted everything, I did not gorge and I stayed the same...onto the next one I say! Thanks for reading!

I'M BACK BABY!

Well I am really really late for work right now but since I did not blog last week, I wanted to make sure that I made an entry today. I weighed myself today and I LOST 1.5 lbs (.68 KG) for a total of 109 lbs. If you recall, I had gained a pound during the beacon cheeseburger debacle but now I am lower than that week and almost to my lowest of 2012. I am also really excited because I had hit the bump in the road due to inactivity caused by a sprained knee. Last night I returned to spin class and I KICKED IT!!! LOL, so I know this is the start of a great month. Today is Valentine's Day and my husband surprised me with an Edible Arrangements fruit basket with a FEW chocolate covered strawberries mixed into the bouquet. Good choice I say, since I usually down an entire box of chocolates....so this is good. Several confirmations as today: I MUST JOURNAL my food, band or no band, it is IMPOSSIBLE to really know how much we eat without having an honest record of what we consume. I thought with the band I would be able to bypass this CHORE, but I am not so lucky. Also, I know I called this a journey before but I did not understand what that meant until now. Every step is a MILESTONE in the direction of my journey, the choice is mine with every single bite, I CHOOSE LIFE and the direction that I will be headed is me LOOKING FABULOUS!!!!
