Hey lady! I saw you stopped over at my place and I wanted to let you know that I'm still around. Life just seems to be happening all the time. It seems like my computer time is the first thing that gets neglected.

It looks like you've been crazy busy too lady! You're still trucking along lady! Wish I could see pictures of your pretty sparkly! I guess I'll just have to imagine it!

Hope you're having an awesome on plan day!

Life just seems to be happening all the time.

Funny how that happens, huh? Sometimes a vacation from life sounds so very appealing, but alas such things are not to be.

I know I know...at the end of the day I really shouldn't complain about averaging 2lbs/week, but I will likely continue to do so anyway. I openly admit to being especially anxious to hit the 100# Club now that such a huge milestone is approaching. It is almost close enough to touch it, at times I think I might even be able to brush it with my fingers, and all I want to do is grab it! I know it might sound nuts to some people, but for me that will represent so much to me in terms of where I have come physically, mentally, emotionally, professionally, personally, and in life. Add in the fact that from there I'll be on the final 25lbs or so and it is truly overwhelming for me at times. So often I thought I would never get where I am and now my desire to have it all is all-consuming at times.

At any rate, Mike and I are just hanging around the house tonight reading Time and watching What Not to Wear. Ahhh the joys of Friday evening!

I don't believe in the myth of the jinx....however, now that I've said that, watch me jinx myself here this morning! At any rate, the scale and I are picking up momentum toward restoring our BFF-hood. 183.8 this morning and it feels great! Granted this is all "unofficial" until weigh-in Monday morning, but with a bit of luck I'll be smiling wide on Monday morning.

Off to help some friends move into their new house. Have a great Saturday, everyone!

Looking forward to your official "Monday" weigh in! I hope things are continuing in a positive manner for you! (well, negative on the scale, positive as far as life in general ) ha ha

[DogMa]

Sounds like you're doing just fine again. Way to go!!!

[cydj21]

Just got back to work after the interview this morning so I will have to keep it brief. Monday's Weigh - In: 183.4lbs Overall, I will take it! That is 4.2lb loss since my last official weigh-in, which I believe was two weeks ago today. I am quite happy to go off and update my tickers! Hopefully I will slide into the 90# Club this week...I have been so focused on the 100# Club that I forgot about that little 90# Club thing coming up! lol

[Sojourner]

Hiya, Cyd!
Best of luck with the interview results!
No "luck" needed on the MF front, though...
you're just a-rockin' and a-rollin' girlie!
90# club coming right up! WooHoo!

[lifelovinaries]

hey cyd! you are rockin this program aren't ya!?! Keep it up. I'm still around. Not completely OP but still around. Keep up your GREAT work!

[cydj21]

I sure do love my MF cheerleaders!

So today is just your average day. The scale squeaked down a smidge this morning, my new MF order showed up, I walked a brisk 15 minutes at lunch, and I am waiting for the storm clouds outside to pass so I can stop feeling so drowsy. This month I ordered only dutch chocolate shakes, chocolate pudding and chocolate mint bars...for some reason they are the only three items I seem to be able to handle more than once a week or so. I am sitting on a huge stash of soup and oatmeal I will probably try to unload here soon...and truthfully, I bought two boxes of french vanilla shakes last month and this morning it was all I could do to choke one down. I have no idea why, but they just started to really get to me. Odd.

On another food-related note...I find myself just completely not interested in nor preoccupied with food 90% of the time these days. I definitely have appreciation for that, let me tell you! As I approach the end of Month 2 on Saturday, I am currently down roughly 25lbs. I was hoping for 30+ in the first couple of months, but I will take what I can get. 25lbs is (5) 5lb bags of potatos after all! That is a lot of damn potatos!

[Sojourner]

25 lbs. is also 100 sticks of butter.

Duuuuuude.

[DogMa]

You're doing great! And I still go through food phases like that. I hated the oatmeal, then I loved the oatmeal, then I hated the oatmeal. Couldn't get enough pudding, then got sick of pudding, then liked it again.

Good thing there are plenty of choices.

25 lbs. is also 100 sticks of butter.

Duuuuuude.

That is an entirely frightening thought!

[cydj21]

So another day another small tick down on the scale this morning. It appears the scale and I are back in our slow but steady partnership, and I will take that gladly. I managed a slightly longer walk at lunch today, about 25 minutes along the canal. Holy crap it was hot and muggy out there today! The weekend forecast is calling for 90s and lots of thunderstorms so I guess it is safe to assume that spring/summer is officially pulling into upstate NY and parking itself for the season.

For the record, I am getting frighteningly close to the 170s so everyone fighting with me to the finish better watch out!

[Sojourner]

That is an entirely frightening thought!

Yeah?
Now think of it softened and a little jiggly.
