I have enjoyed very much eating a lot of junk over the past 4 days - partly because my tummy is finally feeling better and food looks good again and Ive been really hungry since feeling better too. And partly because I've been celebrating a little for achieving my goal (Note: this is never a good idea to do as soon as you've reached a weight loss goal because the next week you'll be heavier and you'll have to "re-reach" that goal again in a couple of weeks!!! Boo.
But, my celebration is done. You may have noticed that instead of posting my points in a post every day, I've been (pathetically so far) trying to post them in a little box at the top of the blog here. That way I won't totally be annoying those of you who have Google Reader or some such thing that notifies you everytime I post anything!
So, I am now done with the cookies, brownies, icecream, rum & coke, and mayonaise. At least for a while again. Back to work - I want to still be free next time I go to the WW meeting.

I DID IT!!! (and the flu probably helped...)
:o)
After 14 months, I have finally reached the first goal I set for myself - that was reaching 152 pounds. That meant a loss of 46.2 pounds and that I can now go to WW for free each week because I'm within 2 pounds of my offical WW target weight (which is 150 lbs). This week, I worked hard at it, plus I also had the flu for a while, and so I surpassed that goal (partly due to being dehydrated I'm sure!) My challenge will be to maintain that loss this week as I start to feel better and eat real foods again... we'll see how much of that loss was actually fat!
So, my next goals are:
1. to weigh less than Trevor, who has been 150 pounds since I met him almost 13 years ago. The lowest I've seen him was 145 when he was really sick one time, and the highest I've seen him is 155 - at which point he quickly proceeded to do situps and pushups every night for a week, and lost those extra pounds to get back to his normal weight. So, yeah, he's consistent. And I've always wanted to weigh less than him because doesn't every girl want to be smaller than her man? I've only weighed less than him once before (in the summer of 2007 just when I got pregnant with Elan) and it lasted for all of a couple of months. SO, that is my next goal - to get below whatever he weighs.
2. To get to 150 officially - since that is my official WW goal weight. When I do that, they'll have a little celebration for me at the meeting and I'll get the little charm for my keychain that you get when you reach your goal weight at WW.
3. To reach 148.2 - which will mean a loss of 50 pounds, which is more than I've ever lost before (I lost only 47 pounds the first time around on WW). When you reach 50 pounds, you get a little prize in the meeting at WW as well.
4. My ultimate goal is 138.2 - a loss of 60 pounds and my final destination weight. I'm not sure how long it'll take me to get there, but I'll plug away at it and get there one day.
So, there you have it - my goals for the next while. Thanks for sticking with me over the past 14 months as I've worked toward this first one - I appreciate the accountability you all give me with this here blog. It really really helps to know that someone/anyone is watching what I'm doing. So, thank you! And YAY!

Toast and Milk -3
Hmmm... I started off well, but neglected to come back here and write things down... oops.
I'm gonna venture a guess anyway:
(toast and milk -3)
tuna sandwich and soup-3
smoothie & cookies -5
KD & hotdogs (apparently my tummy was feeling better by supper time!) -?? -9?
ice cream -6
total of -3? that sounds too good... I'm pretty sure I must have eaten something else in there that I'm forgetting... but I can't remember it for the life of me!
Oh well, back at it tomorrow.
Happy Sunday everyone! (all 5 of you who even look at this!) (BUT, I appreciate the 5 of you very much!!!!)
:o)
((okay I had cereal in the night too, which is an extra 3 bonus points))
