I so wish I had not weighed myself on Monday. Stupid scale. Why does that number mean soooo much? So I was down a bit, but I can't seem to get to the 160's AND stay there.
Strawgirl is right (talked to her today on the way into work)...I cannot seem to put it all together. I've now have the exercise thing down (again) and the eating goes bad. So, this ww week I will do my best not to stray, not to cheat. Okay, right there was an excuse. I WILL NOT STRAY, I WILL NOT CHEAT!!!!
Weekly goals:
1. Drink all my water.
2. Get in all my milks/fruits/vegs.
3. Exercise 5 out of 7 days--26 min today on treadmill 271 cal burn.
4. Follow the program --eat within my point range.
That's it folks...$#@# scale!!!
BTW, some were asking about the exercise....I started out only doing 20 minutes on the treadmill. Every workout I have added 1 more minute (now up to 26 minutes). I plan to stop at 30 minutes b/c in realistic terms--right now 30 min is what time I can afford for exercise.

EEEEK!!! Weigh in tomorrow!!!
So a brief update...I have done really good in the exercise department this week. I have managed to meet my goal of exercising 5 of my 7 days. I am now up to up to 24 min on the treadmill--tomorrow I will add another minute and slowly bump the workout back up to at least 30 min.
I got on the scale on Monday and I saw the 160's for the first time in a long time. However, after doing a little dance to celebrate, I found myself using the "number" as a reason to eat. See how I self-destruct. I can always justify a reason to put food in my mouth--A DISEASE I TELL YA!!!
I wish Monday's number could have been the "official" w/in for me, but it wasn't and I will be jumping on the scale tomorrow morning. I just hope I haven't done that much damage in the past two days to spoil my victory of getting into the 160's.
Here's to hoping for a success.....

On the road again....
Okay so I haven't updated in a while...here goes...
Mom visit went well. The boys were sad to see her go. I didn't do great eating-wise while she was here. I tend to let the eating go to hell while anyone visits...you know a good excuse to go out to dinner, not exercise etc...
But I have gotten on the treadmill the last two mornings...not for a long workout---you know ease my way back into it. But I am TRYING now, which is better than what I was doing just a week and a half ago!!!!
So, I will get in at least 20 min on the treadmill every day this week and I am adding 1 minute more each day til I am back to 40 minutes. My goal for the month of August is to lose 4 pounds (Hubby's parents due to visit on the 27th). It's a small goal, but I seem to be doing this WEIGHT LOSS journey at a snail's pace, so I am making myself be in it for the long haul!!!!
My birthday is coming up on September 27th and I am hopeful that I will be 8 pounds lighter on that day (you know, my birthday present to me!!!!) I am trying to get back home to Indiana soon (maybe sometime around my b-day---I would loooooove to have 8 off by then)
That's about all I know...
