Hey everyone! I tried sending an update from my phone, but it didn't come out right. I came to the computer to see how it looked, and it was all funky in like 5 different posts. Oh well...
Real quick update, I've got a lot going on today, and shouldn't even be on the computer right now!
I weighed in this morning at 137!!!! That's 14 pounds down. Only 1 more to meet my original goal of 15. Two more to get to where I'd really like to be. I think I can work on that in the next couple weeks during the maintenance phase.
Today we are going to attempt to go camping out at Lake Mohave. I say attempt due to the weather forecast for today and tomorrow. We are going to go, and hopefully we can stay!
Today, tomorrow, and Sunday are the last three days of my 21 day program. I am going to be honest with you all... I plan on cheating tonight. I'm going to drink dammit. :) I've gone to way to many birthday parties, parties, and events in the last 19 days where I haven't been able to have a few drinks and really enjoy myself... so I'm treating myself! I might drink tomorrow aswell, if we are still out there! lol
Well, that is all for now... I have to run! Lots of stuff to do before we take off.
If anyone has ANY questions... please don't hesitate to comemnt and ask.. or you can email me at kiralinda@hotmail.com
Hope everyone has a fun and safe weekend. I will weigh myself again Sunday morning, and update then. :)

Day 18 -- 8/26
Good Morning Y'all! Today I weighed in at 138.5! Love it!!! 13 pounds down! I only have 2 more to go to meet my goal. But I'd love to lose 3 more to make it to 135lbs. We'll see.
I start my 1500 calorie diet on Monday. I'm excited to be able to eat yogurt and cheese, and drink milk! I will have to start logging in my food journal again though! For SURE! This last weekend and this week I've been slacking big time.
Well, I'm off to go help in my daughters kindergarten class... I just had to do a quick update to share the weight loss with you all!

Day 17 - 8/25
Hey Hey Hey! Today I weighed in at 139, AGAIN. :( well, I lost a little more than half a pound. I wasn't looking at the rest of the numbers before. But when I hit 139, it was actually 139.9, but hey, I made it to 139! Yesterday it was also 139.9. Today though, was 139.2. So I'm happy with that.
I think I know one reason why I'm not losing as I could be... I haven't been walking or doing any exercising at all. I just haven't been pushing myself. I think I got too happy about losing, and lost track of what I needed to do. Today I did a yoga/cardio video. I bought this video at Target in the dollar bins! I loved it! It was a mix of cardio, yoga, and pilates. I only did 30 minutes of it. It is a 55 minute video. But I got a late start and I had stuff I had to do. I felt good after the 30 minutes though!
Still eating the same old same old... as usual. :) I'm so used to it now... it doesn't bother me, and I'm never hungry. I wish I could stay like this forever!!!

Day 16 -- 8/24
Well Good day! I weighed in at 139 again this morning. I'm seeing a pattern here. Anyone else seeing this? I lose 1 pound then stay for two days, then lose another pound, then stay for two days. Well, at least I'm still losing. I only have 4 more pounds to go!
I set my goal to lose 15 pounds. I originally started at 147, but during my first two days while "gorging" I gained 4 pounds. (Which they say is totally normal, they said you might gain 6 pounds.)
So I started the weight loss journey at 151. So 15 pounds from there would leave me at 136. But I really want to make it a nice number of 135. Doesn't that just sound better?! lol
So I had something weird happen to me last night. I put the kids to bed and I actually fell asleep with them for a while. I woke up to a phone call from my husband. He was doing a moving job to Utah. He called to tell me goodnight. So from there I got out of the kids' bed and went to my own. I was feeling weird. It almost felt like I was hungry, but I haven't felt that feeling in at least a week or longer. But that wasn't it. I wasn't hungry. So I laid there for a while and finally fell asleep. I woke up to turn over at some point in the night, and started feeling really sick to my stomach. I tried to fight it off... using the old mind over matter thing... well, that didn't work. I ran to the bathroom and started blowing chunks. I looked at the clock afterwards and realized I had only been sleeping for about 2 hours. I finally went back to sleep. When I woke again for the morning, I felt fine. I got the kids off to school and kind of felt weak. So I treated myself to laying on the couch watching tv for a couple of hours. :) I started feeling better finally. But the rest of the day I was fine. No problems eating or anything.
One of my friends kids also felt sick last night while he was eating dinner. But I don't think he ever actually vomited. Then her other kid got sick at school today and had to be taken home early. But she never vomited either. They were both just complaining of stomach aches. So, I don't know if these are all related or not... but I'm not too worried about it at this point. I'm hoping it was just a little bug... and it's over and done with now.
Well, goodnight for now... will write again tomorrow! Have a good Hump Day!

Day 15 -- 8/23
Today I weighed in at ..... are you ready for this????? 139! Yippie!!!! I'm out of the 140's! I haven't been out of the 140's since before I had my daughter 5 years ago! Since before I even got pregnant with her! I LOVE IT! Totally happy about this!!!!
Now I just want to get to 135 and I will be STOKED!
I am getting more brave. Today I didn't write down anything I ate. Mainly because I've been eating the exact same things for the last two weeks. I have it all memorized. I am still measuring and weighing my food... but just haven't written it down... which also means I haven't calculated the calories. But if I'm still eating the same exact portions I was the last two weeks, I can pretty much guess that I'm staying under the 500 calorie mark.
We'll see how the scale reacts to this!
I hope it's not a bad thing!

Hey Hey Hey! Today I weighed in at 140 again. :) Loving the scale! Can't wait til tomorrow!
This morning my hubby was a little hungover and craving some homemade food from this great little place down the street called D'Place Cafe. So him and I went. I sat there and watched him eat his biscuits and gravy with some kind of omelette. Mmm, it looked good.. but I stuck to my ice water with lemon. :)
We had a nice relaxing day laying around watching movies with the kids and such. I stuck to my usual diet all day.. did good!
Not a whole lot of action going on today... so not much to write about. Have a nice Monday everyone!!!

Day 13 -- 8/21
Hello again! Today is my husbands birthday. I haven't spent one birthday for myself or anyone in my family where I couldn't eat out, or have a drink if that was on the agenda!
This morning I weighed in at 140! 11 pounds down! Only 4 more to go to meet my goal! I look and feel great. Well, I can say I feel like I look great! haha
Today we went to a little girls 2nd birthday bash. Lots of great food, and lots of great alcohol all over the place! Big birthday party. I packed my days worth of food in my tiny little ice chest as I did for the River Regatta float. I ate my chicken and asparagus for lunch on the way over to the party. I also took my handy water bottle with. I must say, I did great today! I never gave in and had a drink, or ate the really really good looking hamburgers they barbecued!
So after the party, we came home, showered and got ready for the evening. The kids were invited to a sleep over at their friends house. So we dropped them off there and went to one of our favorite little bar/restaurants for the night. They had a little party going on, some alcohol rep was promoting their stuff and then karaoke started shortly after. I had a lot of fun playing darts, singing karaoke and NOT DRINKING! I had iced tea with my own sweetener that I brought with me! (stevia) We stayed out until about 11:30ish.
All in all it was a great day and I didn't cheat! I feel great about that!
