Okay, so after months of not being on plan and thinking i could do it without it, I am finally ready to admit that I can't! Weighed in yesterday and it hit me in the face that I have gained back 13 pounds since my lowest!! In the last 6 months or so-- that's all it took. If I keep up like that, I'll see 196 again in no time, and I do not want that!! So...

Went to my meeting after the weigh in and found out about WW new program-- Momentum. Now, instead of having two different eating plans, they have combined the two and identified which foods are better for you to eat as they are more filling-- so instead of just eating a bunch of 'junk' food with low points, you eat filling food with low points and feel fuller longer. Yesterday, I ate on plan and after dinner, I still had 7 points left-- enough to fill in with the last slice of my daughters chocolate cream pie from Christmas. Got up this morning and did a workout from my On Demand-- with Jillian Michaels from Biggest Loser-- about 25 minutes of a GOOD workout. Eating my oatmeal right now and getting ready to go back to work after having most of the last two weeks off.

I will stick to this and exercise this time and lose my last 24 pounds-- I think I would still like to get to 135, whether my husband likes it or not!

Weigh-in: 159.0 lb

Hello everyone.

So, my daughter turned 18 on Friday! I ended up just getting her a bouquet of balloons and taking them to her at work, then hubby and I took her to dinner and got her a pair of boots. Unfortunately, the boots weren't the kind she wanted, so we are planning on taking them back today. She was pretty bummed, though, because not many of her friends remembered about her birthday-- especially her 'closest' ones. Her roommate just celebrated her birthday a few weeks ago, and although Nikki didn't have much money to BUY her something, she did take the time to bake and decorate a cake for her, but the roommate did nothing for Nikki... I don't really care for the girl anyway, so this just tops it for me. PLUS, Saturday morning, Nikki walked out to her car to go to work and found her trunk open, her glove box and console open, all of her stuff which had been contained in her car strung all over (but not stolen!) and chocolate milk poured all over her seats!! She was so upset, and a little scared. I feel so bad.

Rough week with food. Should go to a meeting today, but can't stand the idea that I will probably have to pay again cuz I think I'm about 1.5 to 2 pounds above the max. Blah!!

Got some decorations put up in the house over the weekend. Need to get the lights up outside. This house is a bit bigger than the last, so we need a few more strands to get it all covered. Hubby wants to buy all new because he wants colored icicles instead of the white ones we currently have, but I'm trying to talk him out of it....

Did some shopping on Friday, but not a lot. I did get up at 3 to go and spent all day out, but really didn't find a lot of deals that made it worth my while. Thinking we won't go next year, but we'll see. So, I still have lots of shopping to do in the next few weeks.

Thanksgiving was okay. Couldn't get much of the extended family together, so really just had my family (me, hubby and kids) with my SIL and her two boys, which is kind of a normal day. My sister did come over for dessert with her three kids, but not the 'ideal' Thanksgiving. All it was was cooking all day to have a huge dinner with too much food that none of us needed and ended up regretting anyway!! We are thinking about taking a trip next Thanksgiving. Hubby's cousin took his family to Hawaii this year... maybe something like that, or we'll go to Texas to see his brother... Have a year to decide.

Hope you all have a great week!

Good Morning FS buddies!!

So, it's the start of another week... This week, I am going to sit through the class that we put our new owners through before after they're done with their in-store training. It'll be good to see exactly what they learn in class, because a lot of times, they tend to forget stuff and then say they never learned :) I'm thinking it may make for a somewhat long week, though.

We made it to the gym 4 days last week, so one day better than the week before. TOM's visit seemed to help my weight a bit, as well, I'm sure, as my workouts. Hubby's getting a little disspirited about the weight loss as he has not been able to lose any yet. A year ago, when we first started this, he lost about 15 pounds really quickly, but now he has put that back on and it's not coming off so easily. I'm sure we'll do it, though. I will try to make it to my WW meeting either today or tomorrow so I will have an "official" weigh in.

I'm going to have to use some major will power this week. Our office always provides snacks during these classes, plus unlimited soda and coffee, plus an hour lunch break each day! I'll just really have to try to keep myself busy :)

I guess I'd better eat some breakfast and get to work. See ya later!

Good morning FS buddies...

So, you may all remember me telling you that we are renters. Have been for most of the time that we've been together, except one point where we owned for a short while. We, I believe, are model renters. We always leave the house in move in ready shape. We have always received our FULL refund when we move out-- except this time!!! We just got our move out statement from the property management, and they are actually charging us an additional $300 on top of the $975 they've already got!! Is there anyone out there that knows about rental laws? They are charging us for repainting, which I've always understood could not be charged for if you live in the house for a year or more. Also, we cleaned the house for 3 days according to their specs, yet they are still charging us $195 for that!! On top of $150 for labor.... I'm going to fight this, that's for sure!!!

Took my youngest daughter in for ortho consultation yesterday... she has gapping, which the doctor said is very easy to fix, but also has a greater risk of returning without the vigilant use of a retainer... So, we need to make a decision on how important these braces are to her before we shell out $4500!!

So, with a crazy work week, we didn't get to the gym EVERY night, but did get there every other night at least. TOM arrived this morning, so that may have something to do with my additional weight throughout the week... I was back down to 152 this morning when i checked.

Gotta head to work. Talk to you all later! Have a great day!!
