This past week has been concentrated on building muscle.  On past occassions when this occured, I did not lose weight -- in fact, that week I gained 0.2 pounds!  I did not want to step on the scale today because I feared nothing good was going to come of it!

Last night when I was on my road trip, I crossed over quite a few milestones.  The most significant one has nothing to do with weight loss.  One of the more minor ones is this:

Last night, while on a walk with a friend, I crossed the 1000 mile mark in walking.  I have walked 1000 miles (and now a bit more) since July 9th, 2007.  While the people at ( Read more... )

Yes, I post this one late because I have been a busy, busy girl!

I must be losing weight.  This morning I was brushing my teeth in my undies.  Midway through they fell off because they are just too big for me (mind you, the elastic in them was still quite good!)

I would almost go shopping for undies, but why buy something that I will wear only for a week or two?  I can survive until I finish the process.  Besides ( Read more... )

Yet again I have not been the best blogger.  What a week.

This week I ate a lot of bad stuff.  I had a magic cookie bar and Culver's frozen custard on Monday.  Tuesday night/Wednesday lunch saw the disappearance of an entire loaf of Parmesan-Garlic foccasia bread (like a 3-lb. loaf...).  Friday when I got home from shopping I had a bowl of beef ( Read more... )

Why am I so thirsty today?  I have drank more than a gallon of water today and right now I feel the need for yet another glass.  What is up with that?

Last night I was such a bad girl!

After eating a Magic Cookie Bar earlier in the day, I had Culver's Frozen Custard!  But it was so good.

When I weighed myself this morning, there was only a pound difference in my weight.  I will take care of that today.

Last night I went for a long walk and listened to the new CD from Collective Soul.  The last song ( Read more... )

The last week has been exciting for a number of reasons, so there have not been too many posts...

Last Friday I went to The Gym to be weighed in and was told that I weight 169.6 pounds.  A body composition was done and supposedly I have more fat and less hydration and muscle than when I started the contest.

WHAT?  How is this even possible?  My pants ( Read more... )

I am wearing a size 12 today.

The last time I wore anything in a 12 was 2003.  At that point, it was a bit tight, but it was not until late 2003 that I bought a pair of 14 jeans.

There will be something special to report on tomorrow because I just got an email...
