Important things first:::Kelly is coming home today!!! We are all so excited. The kids have been so super good that I told them I would take them to see Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief this morning. When we get out of the movie, Kelly will be home.
Now, I lost 1.6 lbs yesterday-for a total of 4.2 lbs. I am so excited! I have lost 9.2 lbs in the last 2 weeks (since I stopped drinking coke) and I LOVE saying that number more than 4.2 lbs!. I love waking up in the morning weighing myself. Then I get so excited I don't even want to eat. I am eating of course. It's been interesting, because the meals I puchased have been a lot of food for one meal, but after 1.5-2 hours I am hungry again. I have been drinking tons of water, but I don't think I'm drinking as much as I should be yet. Drinking water is a real change for me.
My stomach feels a little flatter (not as much as I would like) and my pants are just a little looser. YEAH!!!!!!

Day 5
Wow! I have lost 2.6 lbs so far-in 5 days. At this point I am happy with that. I was so excited today to see that number on the scale! Amy---by tomorrow I should have a "point"!!!
I had some friends over last night for dinner and it was tons of fun. We couldn't get the WII to work so we didn't get to play Dance Dance Revolution. I was pretty bummed. Maybe that's what I'll give myself when I've lost 20 lbs.
Kelly is stranded in Texas-they cancelled his flight yesterday. He should be coming home tomorrow morning, but hopefully he can find a flight home today. The kids have been amazingly great....except for Breanna. She is going through some weird faze where she thinks she needs to be attached to me all the time-she didn't even want to go to school yesterday for her Valentines Party! Maybe having her spend the day with my mother will help her get over that (I have to go to work).
Yeah!!!! I'm losing weight! It really motivated me this morning to stick with my diet! HERE'S TO 2.6 POUNDS AND COUNTING!

Day 4
So here I am: 5:48 AM and wondering what to have for breakfast: should I have an apple, grapefruit (ugh) or orange? And should I even eat this early? I only have 4 meals to spread out over 18 hours!
I weighed myself last night, at the same time I always do, and I had gained 2lbs! I went to bed trying not to feel too discouraged, since I should have expected it. The last thing I had before I went to bed was a really greasy chocolate cookie from Peterson filled with white icing (mmmmm). But when I woke up and weighed myself today, I was back to my exact weight from day 3. THANK HEAVENS! Even though I was trying not to be discouraged, I was.
There are some people that say this diet isn't going to work. Maybe they are right. By now everyone has a friend, or many friends, that have tried this. Some have succeeded and some have not. I have many friends that have tried it......some under a doctors care and some with drops on the "downlow" from Mexico, others have just ordered it on the internet (as I did). I believe it's all what I make of it. If I don't cheat, and surround myself with people who are going to support me and cheer me on, I believe I will be successful. If I am not successful, it will be my own fault.
On a lighter note, I took my children to get haircuts last night, and both my girls cut their hair short....up to their shoulders and ears. I felt bad because Kelly was really sad when I told him-he didn't get a say in it. Rachel had such long beautiful hair! Now she will have short, curly beautiful hair! Breanna has an A-Line and she is adorable! Austin didn't even complain, but that could be that I paid $14.95 for him to have his hair trimmed, like a quarter of an inch. You can't even see that he got his hair cut. Oh well, it looks better to me.
Today is going to be a great day.....Kelly is coming home and my girlfriends are coming for dinner!

Day 2 & 3 (again)
It's me again. I am so excited: I picked up my pre-made meals today at lunch time. Even though I know I am supposed to be eating a bunch, I haven't even been hungry. I'm sure tomorrow I will be STARVING!
Even though I really started this on Monday, I finally feel like I'm going to be STARTING....just because I'll finally be limiting my food intake. Tonight we are having beef stew, and valentine cookies (with pink icing) for dessert. Tomorrow it's oranges and chicken!
I'm so excited!!! Wish me luck!

Day 2 & 3
I think yesterday was really my second day on my journey, so I should have named it Day 2. I weighed myself last night and while I didn't lose a whole pound, I lost half a pound, which I will take! During this phase I should be eating everything I can, and I was told I could gain some weight. I also got some advice from a friend yesterday about keeping the liquid under my tongue for as long as I can, not just 15 seconds. I started doing that this morning.
Kelly is out of town for the next 2 days...that always adds a little stress! AND, I planned a dinner with some friends tomorrow night thinking it would be my last night of food-so the taco soup I was planning would have been perfect. But I had to jump the gun, and instead of starting this diet on Tuesday, I had to start it Monday afternoon... So now my friends will be eating my taco soup and I will have some other kind of soup. But it will be all worth it because we will be playing Dance Dance Revolution! I really want that game. Maybe I can talk my husband into budgeting for that.
The scouts are coming to my house today to make invitations for the Blue and Gold Banquet next week.....I have never met half of these boys. No time like the present!
I am so excited to be losing weight! I'm so ready to look and feel good!

Day 1
This is it..... my new weight loss journey. I will admit I'm a little nervous to post things about myself, maybe no one will read this, and maybe someone will. It's scary for someone that keeps herself in a box to think anyone would be interested!
I weighed myself last night, and took all my measurements. I think I will weigh myself daily, but only take measurements once a week.
I am so ready for a change, and this time I feel REALLY motivated to make this change permanent. Spring is coming and I would love to help my husband coach my daughters soccer team!
I still haven't decided if I am going to post actual numbers.....they seem a little scary to me. However, I did quit drinking Coke a week ago LAST Saturday, and I have already lost 5 pounds. My goal is 45 more lbs.
I'm drinking my water and saying: Here's to you kid!!!!!
