Fell Off The Wagon....
Wow, these past couple weeks have been so stressful at work. I REALLY REALLY wish I was one of those girls who JUST CAN'T EAT when they're stressed. But my reaction is the opposite: I eat everything in sight. Each night I tell myself I'll do better 'tomorrow', then tomorrow comes and I fall off the wagon again. I've been eating too much, too often, too many carbs, too much sweet tea (one waitress called it "the wine of the South" LOL). And I can't begin to tell you when my last trip to the gym was.
But it all ended this AM. I woke up, put on my Big Girl Panties, and just took each hour at a time. I ate small portions, concentrated on proteins, small bites, chewed thoroughly, and 'whew'-- made it through the whole day without regret!! Tomorrow I will wake, go to the gym, and continue to follow the plan.
I've got all the tools. I know what I need to do to lose weight. I.GOT. THIS.
Thank for reading, and thanks for your support.

Friday Weigh-In
When I am under a lot of stress, my body reacts by holding on to every ounce of weight. I am under an enormous amount of stress at work these next few weeks. Plus, I've been eating out a lot and haven't exercised as much as I should.
My plan is to just hunker down and try not to gain weight. I have no delusions of losing weight in the next few weeks.

Friday Weigh-In
This was Friday's weight....
LMFAO!! I knew I had put on weight. My clothes are tighter, I feel flabbier. I really ate my way through Central Pennsylvania!! And I haven't exercised all week.
Oh well, back on track now. Watching what I eat, and heading back to the gym.

25th High School Reunion!!
I had a blast travelling to Central Pennsylvania for my 25th High School Reunion! My ConfidenceMeter was on overload, with all the compliments I received! It made me feel really really good, and just reignited my passion to get to my goal weight.
Here's the ubiquitous 'seat belt' photo that is required on all weight loss blogs!! Look how much extra belt!! I actually fit into a Southwest Airlines seat!! If you've ever flown Southwest, you know that's saying something!!
These smiles were plastered on our faces the whole trip. Needless to say, I'm sure I gained at least five pounds. I just HAD to sample all my favorite comfort foods from Pennsylvania (read: carbs!) I think this picture was taken after I had shown my son the joys of a 'Grilled Stickie a la Mode' from Eat-N-Park.
Hope everyone had a great week! This week is back-to-school for us!

Friday Weigh-In....NOT!
There will be no Friday Weigh-In this week, because I'll be travelling to Pennsylvania for my 25th high school reunion! Of course, that meant shopping for new clothes! I will post pics when I get back.

My Ziplining Adventure!
Despite my fear of heights, ziplining has been on my bucket list for a while. But the maximum weight limit was 200 lbs, so I really haven't been able to cross this item off until this year. My brother took me for a belated birthday trip to Wimberley, TX.
As you can see, the view was amazing!! The first step off was a little scary, but after 3 seconds, it was pure exhilaration! This course has a total of ten ziplines, of varying lengths and heights. A bit of hiking was required also (a good workout!)
We had a blast and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an adventure!

Size Ten!!
I like my jeans to be a bit 'snug' in the waist, so I don't have the urge to 'suck it in' all the time! My current size 12s were feeling a bit loose lately. So I went shopping today and low and behold...
Sorry the pic is a bit fuzzy, but that size tag says "10 average". And I am so excited!! Now I'm not fooling myself, I know all jean brands are not the same, I'm sure I couldn't squeeze into a Levi's size ten, but I'll take what I can get. And I did! I bought three pair! LOL
I haven't been a size ten since....evah!! I have spent my entire adult life a size twelve or more. I'm just so happy! The other day my son said, "You're shrinking, Mom".
Today my brother is taking me ziplining for a late birthday celebration... will post pics!!
