Still doing great! :-)

Hawaii weight is still melting away. I was 146.00 this morning. That's 6 pounds since Easter, but things are finally slow down to a normal pace again.I am taking today as a rest day becuase tomorrow morning we have double Tai Chi.On Monday my reward for getting back under 150 should arrive, and I am just one pound away from to getting the reward for reaching 145! Woo!I hope that I get under 145

Weight Still Dropping Fast

I was surprised this morning to see I was down to 147.25 already! It's nice that my weight is quickly heading back towards where I was before Maui, but I am kinda surprised at how fast the extra weight is shedding. Seriously, I have lost 4.75 pounds since Sunday! Although a lot of that was bloat and a big meal still in my belly.Oh! Speaking of bloat, I feel like I was being extra sneaky to avoid

Down Another Pound

This morning I was down another pound. (148.50) That should be about it for the Maui bloat weight... Now starts the hard part where I have to burning off the rest.Today I walked just over two miles before supper, then after supper, I lightly biked for about 45 minutes.I had a total of about 1690 calories today to the best of my estimations. I was able to get the "exact" calories of most things I

Under 150 again.

I was 149.50 this morning. That's 2.5 pounds less than what I was on Easter Morning! I guess a lot of that extra weight was bloat after all!

I just had to make sure though.To be honest, I feel miserable today. I am in a total

Hitting Reset

It is so great to be HOME!! I was not able to fall asleep on the plane like I hoped, so I was awake for over 30 hours before I finally made it home and fell into a coma-like sleep. I was too exhausted to notice that I was home really. Then at 3:30 AM I was startled awake when Sabina (our gray cat) jumped on me, wanting to be fed breakfast. Ahh! It is great to be home!I got on the physician's

Packed My Own Lunch!!!

Wow. Last night 9 of us went out for sushi again. It was a feast. I walked to and from the restaurant, so that was about 4 miles! I have been doing a great job at staying active... just really bad at limiting my calorie intake!Today one of the Implementers (the role at my work that is constantly traveling to help customers install our software) said that gaining 5 pounds on a go-live is average

Total Loss of Control

The other day my roommate told me: “On Maui, you are not allowed to feel home sick.”But I am homesick no matter what the “rules” are. I am on one of the most beautiful places on earth, on my company’s expense account, and I would rather be back home in the "ghetto."Last night I just “snapped” and ate three bowls of cereal after supper. I was doing SO good that day until then. I was so careful
