Week Fourteen

I weighed 212.4 yesterday morning, but did not find time to post. I am actually a little disappointed because I thought I did pretty good while I had guests. I did not use a food diary though so I will go back to that. I have been doing a lot of exercise for the last couple of weeks. Working out at the gym 4 days a week and walking almost every day. I thought that would give me better numbers this week. I actually burned 511 calories at Curves on Friday!
It was great seeing my son, Dustin, and his girlfriend is really nice. We were busy the whole time. We went to the science museum, drive-in, botanical garden, toured Our Lady of Victory church, Niagara Falls and the cave of the wind, and the aquarium. Plus we rented movies. Next Sunday I'm on a plane for DC.

Really big news!!!! My daughter, Brittany, got married yesterday. I wasn't there. They got married at the courthouse in Kentucky. She only told me about it on Thursday so no time to get out there. I am very happy for them. Mark is a really good guy and they have been dating for over 2 years. Now they can request a house and she can live on base. Mark learned his next assignment is going to be Fort Summit in Georgia. That is near Savannah. But not until after this training finishes in August.

Week Thirteen

Things have been busy, but I have been keeping up with my workouts. Actually worked out at Curves 4 days this weeks and walked on four days during lunch. I weighed in at 213.6 this morning, which I am pleased with. Most of my clothes are pretty loose now, and some pants are just too big to wear. I am trying to wait until I lose 50 lbs. to buy some new clothes, but it is getting more difficult. Pretty soon I will only have one pair of pants I can wear! Not that I am complaining, I just don't have the money to buy several wardrobes along the way. Besides It will be so nice when I finally do go try on clothes to be down several sizes.

On the personal front, Tuesday, my son, Dustin, and his girlfriend, Michelle, are up from Florida. I have had to work so I have not been able to spend a lot of time with them yet. Brandon only had school one day so he was able to entertain. I am off this weekend and Monday and Tuesday, so I have a few things planned. This morning I am taking them to the Science Museum. Michelle has apparently never seen dinosaur bones, so she should enjoy it.

I miss my little Ayden so much. Brittany says that Mark will soon learn where he will be stationed next, so we are all on the edge of our seats. How far away will my little guy be :(?

Week Twelve

Twelve weeks? I guess that equates to about three months since I started. Not bad weight loss for three months. To get right to it I weigh 215.4 this morning. I have lost over 30 pounds! All through exercise and dieting. I didn't work out for the four days I was gone to see my daughter and grandson. With all the driving we really only had two full days to visit and they were crammed. Saturday morning we toured Churchill Downs which was interesting. Then lunch and shopping for Easter dinner. Playing with ayden took up the late afternoon and early evening we colored eggs (well ayden colored his hands LOL). I was still tired and sore from the long drive and wanted to get to sleep early. My knee was really sore from hours of adjusting the peddle. Sunday was Easter and ayden was so excited about his baskets (he got one from me and one from his mom). We all had fun just watching him play with his new stuff. Me and Brittany cooked Easter dinner. I was really good and only had a very small amount. After eating, Brittany's boyfriend Mark gave me a tour of Fort Knox. More playing with ayden. Brandon tried to fly a kite with him. The adults played card games for a long time and before you know it it was time to rest up for the long drive back.

I did workout on Tuesday when I returned and Thursday. So I am going in this morning to get my 3 days in. I also did four miles with the walk for life video last night. I got my prize and it was a plastic storage bowl with the Curves name on it and measurements marked on the side. The next contest you can win curves socks. Hey its all about losing the weight. The rest is just for fun.

Week Eleven

I did my weight a day early because I am in travel mode and my daughter doesn't have a scale. I weighed 218. Less than half a pound more and I will have lost 30 lbs. I did a workout yesterday and I won a prize in the contest. Don't know what it is though. Hahaha. It was a long day and a long drive, but we are here. It is great seeing my grandson, Ayden.
