I am going to be moving in the next week...mostly packed...looking forward to a bigger place...but I am still feeling a bit stressed. I think it has a lot to do with not being able to plan my meals as well as I have been, since I don't want to but a bunch of fresh food that might not get eaten and then has to be moved...just doesn't make sense. I am sure all will work out well.
On a positive note, I was down another 2 pound this week..that is 30.5 in total! I was so excited. I got a 5 lb sticker which I can put up on my calendar, and I am that much closer to another ribbon. Woo hoo!
And it is my Birthday in a couple of days...which is always fun. I have a present that I recevied in the mail 2 weeks ago, with strict instructions to NOT open until my birthday. It has been driving me crazy. But only a few more days and I can open it up.
Hopeing to be able to still loose with birthday cake and moving...we will see what happens...

Could it be true???
This week I was down 2 pounds...getting really close to that 30 pound mark...I can't believe it...I figured that my scale was just lyeing to me! And I actually couldn't really see a BIG difference until now...but I could definitely feel the difference. With the heat wave that was here for the last week I was sure I was going to feel gross and disgusting as I usually do with hot weather (sweat pours out for between the rolls and it isn't pretty)...but that didn't happen. In fact, there were fewer rolls for the sweat to pour from...and I guess having 30 less pounds means I sweat less as well....it was great (well it was freaking hot...but still great).
I just came from the washroom where I had to go primp myself after my walk to work, and I was looking in the mirror...I thought I saw something when I looked, but it couldn't be true....I lifted my shirt up a bit to investigate this unknown thing further, was it possible....were my eyes playing tricks on me...no they were not, it WAS true...to my surprise it WAS really there. A waist!!!! One that actually curves in....this was more then I could ask for. I have never had a waist...well technically I have always had one...but not one that was smaller than the rest of my torso, unless you counted the crevice between the rolls, which I don't think counts. I am excited about this, even though to others it is no big deal. I am very very excited.
Next body part goal.....cute bum;)

I got it...the 10 Pound Ribbon
I know what you are all thinking...10 pounds is a really big ribbon, how did you carry it home...what is it made of...you are reall lucky to have a ribbon that weighs 10 pounds.
Well you can stop thinking that you silly people. I am happy to say that I was down 2 pounds this week (for a total of 11.5 since I joined weigt watchers, and 26.5 since I started my Journey) which means that I got a ribbon at my meeting this week. We get a ribbon for every 10 pounds we loose...and I have been wanting this ribbon for about 4 weeks now (I should have had it a few weeks ago but I went off track for a while). So I am pretty pumped this week. And according to my scales at home, I have lost another 2 pounds since the meeting...I am well on my way to another 10 pound ribbon!! WoooHooo!!

Weigh in Day
The past week has been my buggest success yet...I think. We will see what the scales have to say about that. I stuck with my dinner planning for the whole week, only went off 1 evening, and we had subway for supper instead (which I am sure was equal in points anyway). I am very anxious to see what my weight will be tonight...see if I get that ribbon (only 0.5 needed, so I am hoping I get it).
Been back on track with Body pump, and cardio has been going quite well too...although I don't find I have to work as hard at that as I do with eating right. Will fill you in with my results this evening.

Danger - Weekend Ahead
I was down 3 pounds this week...which makes it 9.5 since I started at weight watchers and 24.5 since I started on my own. Pretty great so far.
I skipped the gym Tuesday so that I could get some studying in for this nasty test I have at work today (thought I left this behind with University)...but I made it on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. I also walked on Monday at lunch and in the evening and on Thursday at lunch. It is great out there today, so I should be getting out again a couple of times to get some sun and walking in.
Going to look at a townhouse for rent this evening...should be exciting, I don't even know what to expect really. Have a couple more to look at next week and we will have to pick one really soon...since we want to move in for the first of July.
Time to go write that test...Instrumentation and Controls, and mechanical equipment and pumps...here I come ;)
