First GOAL!!! 5% Loss!

By -
After last weekend, eating out so much, not tracking my points, etc. I am happy to say that I did not have a gain this week.  Even better?  I achieved TWO milestones today!

  • 5% of starting weight, GONE
  • 3rd 5lb loss
Even Weight Watchers Online threw me a mini celebration!

 
That was GREAT to see.  Made me want to go out and run... but since it was time for dinner I did that instead.

Want to see my milestones so far?


Ok, so, when I selected my next weight loss goal that last star went away, but I made sure to get this screen shot first, so that I could remember this feeling.  It's amazing.

My next goal will be at 10% weight loss, which will be 299.8 lbs.  That will be a HUGE milestone for me, as not only will it be the 10% reached, and all the 5lbs that it will take from now to then... I'll be under 300 lbs.  I don't think I've been under 300 since around 2004.  That's huge.  That's amazing!  It will be lighter than I have been in 9 years.

I can't wait.

I want to go workout and take advantage of all of this energy and excitement that's inside me, but I know that will only lead to keeping me up all night, so I'll channel my energy into cleaning tomorrow after the Ornament Glass Blowing Class.

Jessy's doing alright with his loss also, however I do hear him getting into the Christmas candy that's in the freezer.  Yes, you read that right, Christmas candy.  In March.  lol

Oh, we got a recipe for a 0 point Garden Vegetable Soup today - my Mom's been telling me about this soup for YEARS.  I always thought that since I don't like vegetables that I wouldn't like it, well, I think I was wrong.  I'm going to have to admit it to her, "Mom, I was wrong, you were right".  There isn't a single vegetable in the soup that I don't like.  I may not LOVE them all, but I don't dislike them.  Gonna make it this weekend and I'll let you know.

Ciao!

Not deleting the past; decisions for the future; moving forward

I thought about deleting all the old posts I have on here,  and "starting fresh"... but that's not really a fresh start is it?  Sure, the past wouldn't be here, for anyone to see if they are looking, but it's still with me, still haunting me, so best to make peace with it and let it lay in the past. So here I am, 3.5 years after my last post and approx 30 lbs heavier. I made a decision last week, to have bariatric surgery.  I've decided to do it in the past, 15 years ago, but I switched insurance companies and it was no longer covered.  I thought that was the end of the bariatric road.  Someone recently suggested that I do it - I told them the insurance thing - and they suggested something that no one had mentioned before, and it never occurred to me.  Pay for it myself. So I am.  I'm going to do it. I have an appointment in a month.  It was the earliest available.  Hoping to be able to schedule it for late May/early June.  I'll ...

Kale Chips!

Why have I not discovered these before?  Oh the amount of kale that has gone to waste this summer that I did not use in my morning smoothies in time and it went bad. I've heard of homemade kale chips for a long time, probably a couple of years, but I didn't know how easy they were to make until a few months ago.  I'm not sure why I didn't try to make them before, maybe because it was too hot to turn on the oven, maybe I'm forgetful and would just forget, or maybe it was some other reason. But today everything changed.  I got a bunch of kale in my CSA box today and I immediately came home, looked up some recipes for inspiration on Pintrest, then did a little of each that sounded best... and made two batches (the bunch of kale was pretty big). As the second batch baked I tentatively tried a piece from the first batch - ranch kale chips.  I was shocked.  I didn't hate it!  I took another bite.  I was shocked again, I didn't even dislike it.  A...

A lot has changed in the past year. We moved from Oregon back to Florida.  I feel like a person split between two homes.  I love being back near my family, and I enjoy working in the location I'm in now, but, I miss the life I had, and the people who were in my life back in Oregon.  We haven't found our niche here. We did something we've always wanted to do - we became Disney Annual Passholders.  I love it.  We've already used our passes several times in the few months since we've gotten them and have two more trips planned in the next two months or so.  It feels great to be in a place in our lives that we can do something like this, when it seemed so far out of our reach a few years ago. Recently, this weekend actually, I also have learned that another family member has had bariatric surgery (several years ago)..  I'm going to be contacting his office this week to schedule an appointment as soon as they can see me, and my schedule permits, which...
