Shucking Saturdays WK 19

First of all let me start out saying, yes I went to the bar last night and a great time!!!  I am trying to save some money so drank beer last night.  I only had 2 when I first got there at 9 and I didn't leave until 215AM.  So I was not driving under the influence.  Ok with that being said I DID make it to my meeting this morning.  YAY!!!!  GO ME GO ME!!!  Well, as you know the past two weeks I have been weighing myself here at the house.  I know the scales would be different so I was prepared for that when I went in this morning.  I stepped on that amazing scale and was told I lost 14.4 LBS!!!!!  Which the break down  would be: 1.6 LBS (first wk missed) and 5 LBS (second week missed) which leaves my loss for this week to an amazing total of 7.8 LBS!!!  Holy Crap!!!!!  I was so excited and feel that is definitely because I picked up a second job that has me running around crazy!!!  LOTS OF STAIRS all day long!!!!  THANK YOU STAIRS!!!  Just in case anyone was wondering my new totals,  with WW 48.8 LBS!!!!  Since being in Alaska 57.4 LBS!!!!  Lets just put that into perspective now.  57.4 Lbs is more than my suitcase weighed when I came to Alaska, the weight of a medium size dog, more than a huge dog food bag, and\or a small child!!!  WOW!!!  When you look at it like that, its just insane that I was carrying any one of these items with me all the time.

Shucking Saturdays week 18

Well, I guess this is starting a trend.  I went out last night to the kick ass bar here and watched a really awesome diva show.  I got EXTREMELY DRUNK last night (don't worry I had a DD).  I ended up spending the night out too so needless to say I missed my meeting again this week!!!!  What the Hell!!!!  I was bummed out when I woke up at 10 AM.  On a much HAPPIER NOTE, I weighed in on my sisters scale again today and this week I lost 5 LBS!!!! Which brings my total since being in Alaska to 49.6 LBS!! WHOOP FRICKIN WHOOP!!!!!  GO ME GO ME!!!!  I can't believe I have almost lost 50 LBS!! I am on a roll!!!   As some of you who actually read this thing may know, I recently got a second job.  I work 40 hrs at a Vet hospital and 16 hrs at the Bakery.  So I will be getting my workout for sure with just working.  The Vet. Hospital is HUGE and has 4 sets of 2 flight stairs that I have to go up and down all night long.  Not to mention just doing the other parts of the job as well.

Shucking Saturdays week 17

I decided to go out last night after work to a really awesome bar here.  Well I didn't get too drunk so I could drive home.  I did stay out really late though.  Sad to admit I missed my meeting.  I was so bummed out by this so I weighed myself on my sisters scale and I had lost 1.6LBS!!!!  I was very happy about that, but I am looking forward to next weeks weigh-in so I can really tell how much I have lost.

Shucking Saturdays WK 16!!!!!!

Well this morning was Bittersweet at weigh in.  Today I have officially gone to 16 weeks worth of meetings.  WW celebrates 16 weeks because if you can make it 16 weeks then you have made it a habit and you have the tools and mind set to reach lifetime weight goals.  They award you with this charm.

So that is pretty awesome.  Then I stepped on the scale and sad to admit I actually gained this week.  Damn it!!!  I didn't just gain a little, I gained 2.4 LBS!!!  WTF!!!!!  I have been on such a roll the past few weeks I think I just got a little slack this week.  I went back through my tracker and I ate somethings this week that I should not have eaten.  It is ok though, I will do better this week.  I will pay a little closer attention to what I am eating and start working out a little more.  I guess it is a good thing its winter and that we have to shovel the driveway. 

THANK YOU......

I would really like to thank the people who have left comments, they are very helpful to me.  Some days I just want to say fuck it and just be done with it, but I have to keep in mind why I am doing all of this and it is for me.  I want to do so much so I need to make sure I am around so I can.  Sometimes when I get the "I want quit" feeling I go back and reread them and they cheer me up and help me get back on track.  SO for that thank you for leaving comments.  Tonight I was going to go out and drink and meet some new people, but instead I decided to stay home and pamper myself.  I relaxed in a tub, I dyed my hair and I worked out.  It was a very nice evening and now I am looking forward to a positive weigh in tomorrow morning.

Today I found a new respect for people who live in snowy areas and have to shovel their driveways by hand.  Yes you guessed it, today I shoveled the driveway.  That was my first time shoveling snow.  That really is a good workout, especially for your arms.  My sisters driveway is pretty big and long.  Of course you don't realize that until you are outside in a sweater, snow boots and jeans with snow shovel.  So, now it begins, winter is here so I guess I will be out shoveling a lot more now lol.  Well I wanted to work my arms so I guess here is my chance lol.
