Back in the Saddle..

2-27-09-M- She's baaaaaaaaackkkkkkkkkkk.. Finally a week where I don't feel like I have to make excuses for not dropping the pounds!!! Rick better watch what he says because this week I dropped over 5lbs. That's right .. I'm making better food choices.. and tracking when I'm most hungry which tends to be later in the day. So I'm not eating as much mid-day and then making salads and fruit or soup to fill up and then a sensible meal! Not to mention all the white tea with blueberry I've been drinking..!!! As for the bet.. my Tattoo will say Rick can kiss this NOT so FAT ASS!!!

Once Again its On Like Donkey Kong

There she goes, talkin about that ass again! Beat me ... Bahhhh. In June Im going to go up there and SMACK that ass and say; 'Didnt quite lose enough of this, did ya.' Then I'll just have to charge my ink to your account and it will say Mo'Bigger Ass Lost! But thats okay, you gotta strive for those unreachable dreams M! Looks like I am starting to work my way down again. Was 248.2 today so perhaps Im starting to stumble back on track a little bit. Yes, I know I weighed, and she predicted that I would and she knows me so I figured I would give up that one.

Yes, she is right about me not so much doing this to lose the weight. Im on board beacause I know she wants to lose it bad and whats the best way I can support her? By poking her competitve side and sharing it all with her! Besides there are some rewards at the end of this I just will NOT miss! ;-)

Pizza is 15 Points!

Thank Gawd.. I had nothing for breakfast.. the call of Fat Tuesday has been there.. so I had a slice of pizza.. egads.. out of 25 points for the day . Sweet mother of pearl I'll be having salad and water for dinner. Rick is full of crap.. he'll end up beating me.. that turns him on .. I just know it does. This bet isn't about .. weight loss for him.. it's about beating me. Pain in the ass that he is.. he say's he won't lose the weight or get on the scale but I know him. He's sneaky.. he's just waiting to pounce. But that doesn't matter because I'm gonna beat him fair and square and then he'll be paying for my tattoo.. that will Read.. Rick can Kiss MY ass!

The Journey Offers Twists and Turns

Well, its funny how the journey works sometimes! M has her set backs and doesnt lose nearly as much ground as she thought she would and I am not only eating less and doing a 2 week cleansing, but I manage to gain back 6lbs and lose weeks worth of ground for no particular reason. Its almost March too. I think Im going to just quit the weighing until the summer, concede this thing and go pay up in June. So, 249.5 lbs for me now and weeks of worthless work wooooo. Just gotta love it.

Brutal Honesty!

2-22-09- M.. Ok.. I got back on the scale.. if misery loves company so does flab. I am now heavier than I was when we started this. Which means I have to lose that plus the weight we bet each other we'd lose. But getting back on the scale was a start. I also rejoined weight watchers online and hope to keep better tabs on myself. I bought a new scale since I have zero time to keep starting up the wii fit for each weigh in. I bought a Brita Water Filter Pitcher to save money on all the water I'm going to have to consume if I have any hopes of catching Rick.
The thing is even with the setbacks.. I'm still here and still engaged in doing this.. which at this point in the game I didn't think I would be. The past month has been rough.. I won't deny that but I'm starting to feel like my old self again.. coming out of mourning my period over my old relationship and really starting to embrace my life the adventure not my life the person who got dumped or my life the person who gained weight. But me.. the super dork.. the silly mom.. the best friend to Rick.. Me.. the person I have to get to know again and to love myself more than I love a container of ice cream.. it will never love me back.

Still in a Funk

2-18-09 M-Even with my best efforts I"m still a mess.. the breakup is taking it's toll and I've been eating my way through everything. My one true saving grace has been Ricks wonderful kindness and support. While I applaud him and am happy for him I"m a little pissy he's frankly kicking my ass! I keep hoping something will jar me out of this funk and get me moving again. Each morning I wake up and think today's the day. I'm gonna really do this . Then fall back into my old pattern of having a healthy breakfast.. a decent lunch then snack.. snack snack. Ugh..

1 Wonderful Party

You know when M checks out of that horrible hotel and she gets herself back ... she will start to come back to life. I look forward to that so much as I miss the real M! So, as she starts eating to nourish and stops doing it to fill a void, it will all fall together!

My 245.2 lbs on the scale this morning is a pleasure to see and a full 8lbs gone since this quest began. But I must not let it up I am up against a wily diet pro that when on her game is a disciplined healthy eating machine. My small current advantage will be goine before I know it if I am not careful! 200lbs is a LONG way away. Cant seem to choose what I win yet, but I am working on it! It must be a bonding, meaningful thing. Something special to look back on. That is in case of the long odds that are on me ... come in. I think the treadmill may be calling me again.
