Day 37

I have been able to maintain my weight within 2 lbs this last week-I still weight 177.4 YEAH!!!! Although maintaining this has been harder than I thought. I didn't realize how many sweets and treats I bought for my kids. It's been quite a shocker. Every time I take a bite of anything my children ask me "Is that on your diet?" OK-really it's just Rachel and Breanna, and once in a while Austin. And I guess that's what I wanted, right? I wouldn't have told them I could buy Dance Dance Revolution when I lost 20 lbs if I didn't want them keeping me honest. In 2 days I will have been on the maintenance plan for 2 weeks.

I have lost 17 lbs total so far. I'm trying to be happy with that, right now, but it's really hard. Every day I think "Should I start over tomorrow?" I'm really anxious to get this weight off and KEEP IT OFF!!!!

We still haven't buried my grandma....my grandpa said if he couldn't leave Arizona today or tomorrow he won't come home until next week. He didn't want to pay more than $35 for a hotel room. I still don't think it's hit me yet. It probably will once grandpa is here and we have the graveside service.
