Winner winner chicken dinner

I won the Oscar Bet this year.
8-4.
I think this is pretty good since Todd and I have only seen Toy Story 3.
A million times.

Weigh-In Wednesday Back on Track

After my disappointing gain last week, I was looking forward to a good week. Back at my usual meeting with my usual leader, Becky, I had a good week. No, a GREAT week. I lost that 2.6 from last week PLUS an ADDITIONAL 2.6. I was down 5.2 tonight! CRAZY. I passed the 180's and hopefully won't see them again. :)
Loss this week: -5.2
Loss total: -37.6
Feeling: Re-energized! Let's DO THIS.

Three Sisters

This is a picture of my grandmother, June (left), her sister Bessie (middle) and other sister Julia. Bessie passed away last week and I saw this picture of the three sisters on her online guest book and thought it was beautiful!
We miss grandma June and Bessie and send our thoughts to Bessie's family.

Running....

I have tried to slowly ease back into my running since my knee incident. I ran yesterday from work to daycare (3.5 miles) and it was a gorgeous day! There were so many people out and the sun was gorgeous. Little did I know Sterling Park has so many damn hills, though. Phew! It was tough. My knee is a little weirdish today, but I will just wait a few days to run again and hope it helps. I will do some cardio tomorrow other than running. :)

I had gained at weight watchers this week, depressing, but it makes sense since I had stopped exercising when my knee was injured. So, I am a bit late in my reporting! Busy times at home.....

Loss this week: +2.6
Total loss so far: -32.4
Feeling: Down but not out.

My Valentine

I got to spend my afternoon with my pretty valentine, Miss Charby. We ran a few errands, got a quick ear-check at the doctor, and had lunch together. It was a really good Valentine's Day.

Wednesday No-weigh-In

Didn't weigh in yesterday. Didn't want to drag all 3 kiddies with me by myself. Plus, my ww buddies also agreed it was a good week to skip our first meeting since August. Don't worry, I won't make it a habit. :)

Here's a pic of Charbaby in her cute duds.

Wednesday Weigh-In

This is the weight watchers 5 pound sticker. I'll have to take a picture of my bookmark soon, especially since it is falling apart. Each time you hit another 5 pounds lost, you get a sticker. It's very similar to the Positive Behavior System we use at my school, so it's definitely a rewarding method for good behavior!
Tonight I hit 35 pounds lost! I am excited about that milestone, but definitely have been slacking in the tracking and eating department. I don't know how I lost the weight. I also haven't been exercising much because of my knee, but I am slowly getting back to that. So, hopefully this week ahead I can get back on track and keep the 0/6 loss off forever! :)
Loss: -0.6
Total loss: -35
Feeling: Surprised.

Bathtub woes

I took an epsom salt bath. It was a humiliating experience. But it actually did help my symptoms. Unfortunately, shoving my fat ass into a m...
