Wow.....I should be almost done with this but I have enough drops to go a little longer and maybe lose these last 5-6 lbs. If I can lose 6 more pounds I can say I lost 40 lbs!!!! I only have 5 more to go to get to my goal weight, with this diet. I am going to join Weight Watchers in a week or so to maintain.
Kelly is home, thank heavens. The family always misses him when he's gone.
I'm down to 165!!!! Woohoo!!!!

Day 20
Day 20.........and still sitting at 166 lbs......I did an apple day the other day and didn't lose anything.....I just keep bouncing around these 2 lbs...I should be stopping in a few days but I REALLY want to lose these last 6 lbs......if I lose 7 lbs. I can say I have lost 40 lbs though.... I might just go until I run out of the drops and then be done for a few months....like until fall or something.
Kelly has been out of town for the last couple of days...but it's been going well. Usually I am really short on patience when I'm on this but the kids have been awesome. Breanna went to school this morning so she could go to the zoo...I can't wait until she is in first grade! My mornings are so peaceful! Although I really do miss her when she isn't here. She has such a great smile!

Day 15
Today is May 9th, and I'm on my 2.5 round of this diet.....so I guess I'm on my third attempt. I need to lose 8.8 more lbs in the next 2 weeks and I feel very successful. I don't plan on doing this again, until maybe fall or winter. I would like to get in the habit of, if not exercising on a daily basis, then getting outside with my kids and walking, playing soccer or riding bikes. Overall I only have 28 more pounds to go before I reach a healthy weight.....not my ideal weight...but a healthy weight.
It was brought to my attention that in my last post I put I had lost 133.....which was obviously a type......I had lost 33 lbs. I'm sad to say that over the last 2 days I have actually gained 2 lbs, so now I'm down to a loss of 31. That's OK though.....like everything elese I will just keep trying.
Today is Mother's Day and I got the sweetest gifts from my girls. Breanna made me a cookbook in Kindergarten and Rachel made me a cute card, with flowers, and "spotlight" paper for me. It truly brought tears to my eyes. Kelly got me 2 exercise type shirts and vests. I was a little nervous because they were smaller than I am used to buying, let alone even looking at. I was just going to exchange them for an XL, but he made me try them on. The vest will fit (fully zipped up) when I lose about 4 more lbs (and a little more in the chest area) but fits OK over a shirt, and the other shirt fits a little too snug for my taste, but according to Kelly looks really good. So again, just a few more pounds. I also wore a dress today to church that I don't think I've worn in about 10 years. I think I bought it when E'Shell got married, but I can't remember for sure.
Mother's Day is always so hard at church. You get to listen to priesthood holders talk about women, and usually about their own wives and how awesome they are. I know that no one is perfect, but hearing about all the things other mom's do, or can accomplish in a day, is sometimes daunting.
I am teaching the CTR 7 class next week and terrified. I have never taught a class before. Hopefully I won't scar the kids!!!
The first time I did this diet I was more successful and I think it's because I was keeping this blog every day. I didn't really think anyone was reading it, so I don't worry about it so much. I found out yesterday that 2 people (who I thought were unlikely to read it) are reading it and that gives me a little more incentive to be successful.
Today I weighed in at 168.8......which is still really phenomenal and I should be proud of myself. I'm not.....but I'll work on it. I was down to 166 the other day and my goal in 12 days is to be down to 160. Go ME!!!!!!
