There’s good news and bad news. Which do you want first??? I always want the bad first, so I can end on a good note. So here’s the skinny:
Pounds lost this week: -1 Total lost in 2009: 7.8.
Yes, that was a minus… meaning a gain of 1 pound. And the good news is…. I didn’t follow the diet plan at all this week and only gained a single pound. We had company this week and ate out several times… all eating opportunities trying to usurp my past week’s victory. I even ate Pasta Weezie at Carrabba’s… goodness, that is my absolute favorite… with fettuccine noodles, mushrooms, grilled shrimp and a creamy white Parmesan sauce. That’s a four pound gain, just talking about it. Fortunately, I ate only half of it and brought it home for Larisa. She was the winner who found it in the back of the vegetable bin in the fridge.
Anyway, I’m back on track and look forward to a loss of poundage next week. Is anyone out there trying to lose in 2009 too????

This race is a long one and not a sprint. This is why I hate looking at the scale too often. I am sure you knew what the result would be before you even got on the scale!!!

Actually, I thought it would be WAY worse. I was pleasantly surprised. I only get on once a week…. Thursday mornings.

Awesome overall! Theoretically I’m trying to lose. In actuality, I’m PMS’ing and sick. My belly is not cooperating. Lol.

I have approximately 10 weeks to get rid of this spare tire that’s been hanging around my midsection for oh…….. about (how old is my youngest child??!) Yep. Got a wedding to go to in April and I’m determined to NOT take this tire with me. Lord help me…..

You can do it, Jilly. You just need to ride your bike around the block (North Valley Parkway, Carefree Hwy, Cave Creek Rd, Deer Valley Rd.) I’d volunteer my secrets… but I know you would rather die than eat meat and eggs.

You’re right about that, sistah.
