I've been pretty good with food this week. Unfortunately the weekend is coming and I always end up eating more when DH is home. I've been taking long walks with the kids to get ready for all the walking we are going to do at Disney. DS still rides in the stroller which is good because he walks sooooo slow. Tomorrow is Fri so I will find out if I lost any more lbs.

 

[Lizzydoll73]

Today was my weigh in day, down 1 lb to 201. I was really hoping to have lost more but I'll take it. I just have to remember to be eat better this weekend. I will take the kids for a walk and I do have to mow the lawn today so that should be my exercise today.

 

[Lizzydoll73]

Down from 201 last week to 199.6 this week! It was so exciting seeing that 1 and not a 2! Now I just have to stay in the 100's. We are leaving for Disney next Friday and I think I am going to bring my scale to make sure I stay on track. We are driving so I can pack heavy. So far this is the eating plan that I've come up with.

I am going to have my Slimfast shake for 1 meal
We are stopping at the grocery store so I will pick up some fruit, yogurt and other healthy snax
I already know I am getting Pita Quesadillas at RFC, don't know how fattening but I gotta have
I plan on getting kids meals at some the counter service restaurants, an adult meal is just too much food for me and I don't know if I have the willpower to NOT eat the whole thing
We are doing a character breakfast at Cape May Cafe late so that will be my lunch for the day
I know I will walking and swimming alot so not concerned with exercise

Any other suggestions for not over indulging at Disney would be appreciated

Down another pound from last week. I was 198.6 this morning and 199.6 last Friday. I am happy with it but wish I could have gone walking this week. I had to many things to do to get ready for tonight. I just packed my scale. Disney here we come.

I said I would post a pic when I got down to 200lbs. The first photo is the before when I was 250 and the second was just taken on our trip.

ETA: Oh great I don't think I look any different. OK, I'll post another when I get to 180. Hopefully, I will be able to see a difference then.

 

[goldcupmom]

WOW!! I see a difference, but then, it's always hard to see a change in ourselves.

Congrats!! My opinion, you look AWESOME!!!

 

[Lizzydoll73]

Thanks Julie! Last night I went out and bought the same shorts but in sz18. The sz20 were kind of baggy so I am thinking maybe that's why I don't really see a difference.

Well, I finally got everything unpacked from our trip. It's so sad. We are not going back until 2009. Three years is such a long time but at least the kids will be 6 and 8.5. They were 3 and 5.5 this time and it was a little hard. It was great seeing their little faces light up though so I am glad we went while they were still young. I started planning already. I loved the AKL and would love to stay there again but I am considering the Contemp also because it is so close to MK. Well, I am glad I have 3 years to figure out where to stay and to save up for it.

Well I weighed myself this am. Down to 197.8 which I am happy with because I did not stick to my eating plan while at Disney. The first week I was good but the second week I caved in. My new short term goal is to earn my 55 clippie by Father's Day.

I had planned on staining my deck and mowing the lawn today but the weather looks a little iffy. I did manage to get some laundry, dusting and vacuuming done though. My kids have had a cold and now I think I'm getting it. I woke up with a sore throat this morning and it is still scratchy.

ETA I did start staining the deck. The mowing will have to wait unless DH is willing to do it.

UGH, I was up most of the night with a sore throat and a fever. I've been popping Tylenol every 4 hours because I start feeling crappy every 3 hours. I did manage to get some more of the deck stained though. Just laid down for a hour and a half but the Tylenol is wearing off so I don't feel so good. I sure hope I feel better tomorrow.

 

[Lizzydoll73]

Well, I still feel like crap. I hope I start feeling better soon. The good part about being sick is that I was down to 194.4 this morning so I earned my 55 clippie. Hopefully when I am feeling better I won't gain anything back. I also took my measurements today. I am so glad I took my measurements when I started because even though I don't see a difference in my picture I can definetly see the difference in numbers.

Ugh, I think I might have a sinus infection. I really don't like going to the Dr. I hope this passes and I don't need antibiotics. I was down to 193.6 this am which is ok by me. We are going to my mom's for lunch today. She is making ham and potatoes. I probablly won't eat too much because I don't have much of an appetite feeling the way I do.

 

[goldcupmom]

How are things going, Lizzy?? Are you feeling better??

Hope you are having a good weekend. Congrats on the 55 lb gone goal by today...you MADE IT!!

Have a great week next week!

 

[Lizzydoll73]

Thanks Julie. I am feeling much better but I still have a cough. This morning I was 191.2lbs. I am so close to the 60lb clippie. I would love to get that before July 4th!

 

[Lizzydoll73]

I earned my 60 clippie! I was 188.6 this morning. I started exercising again so I think that is helping. I am really motivated now that I am more than half way to my long term goal. 150 here I come. My next short term goal is going to be earning my 65 clippie by July 12th. That's 3.4lbs in 2 weeks. I think I can do it.

 

[Lizzydoll73]

Ok, I'm getting frustrated. I've been exercising and watching what I've been eating but the scale is not moving. UGH! OK, just wanted to vent.

 

[Lizzydoll73]

Today I was 185.6lbs. Just a little more until I get my clippie! I had to stop working out last week because I pulled something in my neck or back. I think I'll wait until next week to start up again.

 

[Lizzydoll73]

I was 184.8 this morning! Don't know how I lost almost a whole pound in a day but I am changing my clippie to 65. I am so happy even though my neck is still killing me. Next stop 180 so I can get my 70 clippie. It would be nice to get this for my Bday which is next Sat but I am not going to put a time limit on it since it took me longer than I wanted to get the 65 clippie.

 

[Lizzydoll73]

Wow, it's been awhile since I posted anything here. I did put on about 5 lbs. but I have lost them again. Now that the weather is getting a little cooler I think I may start walking again.
