146:) I was so close!!!

I am .4 lbs away from being down a full 20 lbs! Ugh!!! I have finally gotten rid of the extra bloating. Thank God for metamucil capsules! I started this journey at 165.4 on March 7th, 2011. Woot!!!
I had a very cool surprise this evening. My Sailor daughter came home for the weekend. They deploy for 9 months at the end of July so any time I can have with her before then is good. She actually brought me a really special angel that has "Forget me Not" flowers in her arms. It was touching for me since she has never been a warm fuzzy kind of daughter. I guess they do eventually grow up:) I also found out that her twin brother will be home July 14th for a visit. I will have all 4 of my kids her for at least a week! I can't even imagine how long it will be after before they are all here again. Their lives are all changing.
Today's food....It is actually almost 9:00 and I didn't have my dessert so I am not going to. With all of the excitement of my daughter getting here and my other daughter and grandson coming over, I didn't even think about it.
Breakfast: 2 eggs, 3 bacon, sandwich thin toasted with butter
Lunch: Leftover steak and pepperoni on spring greens with ranch and crushed chili cheese fritos.....I know I am weird!!!
Dinner: 2 hot dogs using a sandwich thin for a bun. I dipped it in mustard with a teeny tiny bit of ketchup. About 5 chips and ranch for dipping. It was quite tasty:)
I am really enjoying reading everyone's blog:) The more the merrier!

  1. Congrats on your weight loss. You should be proud of yourself!! I know it's hard, I struggle, but I'm living a much better(and happier)life now, then before.

    Sounds like your daughter is proud of you too! Keep up the good work. Funny...I like hotdogs too....LOL

  3. How awesome that your daughter is home for a visit, I remember when hubby came home when we were dating before he deployed good memories. I agree with you the more the merrier :) Have an awesome weekend.

  4. Hi Kay! I noticed how similar our journeys have been when I discovered your blog. :) I, too, am eager to hit the 20 pound mark, it also would mean I'm about half way in my journey. Not bad since March! We're doing really well, at least compared to my experience with other attempts to lose weight (no results at all - or I would gain!)
