Well Happy New Year, y'all! And a fine one it is. Had my WW weigh in last night and I've finally gone down another pound. 162 pounds, yahoo! That's 30 pounds gone forever for those of you that are counting. I am so happy. Hey, I finally put up after pictures today also :o) finally. I haven't updated my stats yet though, but let me just say that I have lost over 36 inches. I ROCK! Oh, I also got a 5 pound star last night for a grand total of 15 pounds lost with WW. I am seriously thinking about moving my web page elsewhere. Frankly geocities sucks! I don't know where I'm going yet but this site definitely needs overhauling. It's a mess and since I'm going to have to be doing so much work to it anyway it would just be easier to move. So I'll keep you posted. Well, I've been working on this for a long time this evening and CSI is getting ready to come on so I'm cutting it short tonight. Oh, if you haven't had the pleasure of visiting Robyn's sites then you don't know what you are missing. I suggest that you read both her journals cause you just can't get enough of her. Love her! ~Later

Well, my "diet" anniversary date has come and gone. It's been over 1 year that I started on the road to wellness. And it's been over a year that I quit smoking. Yay me!!! So, I'm still in Weight Watchers and doing well. I just seem to lose so freaking slowly!! I had weigh in tonight and I am proud to report an almost 3 pound loss this week, now that's more like it!! I'm now down to 155 lbs. and I'm looking pretty good. I did some quick measurements yesterday and I have lost at least 10 more inches since I last measured in June, I think it was. My waist is 31 inches now and when I started one year ago it was 38 inches. My hips were 48, I think, and now they are 40 inches even. I've even lost another inch in my neck since June. Who knew that your neck could get SO fat??!! Ewww. Another 2. something pounds and I'll have lost 40 pounds!! Man that is so cool. I honestly didn't know if I would be able to hang in here this long. I am really proud of the committment I've made to this, even more than the weight loss, I think. This really is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life. According to the Weight Watchers web site, my BMI has gone from 35 at 192 pounds to 28 at my current weight. WOW!! I'm feeling really good about myself again and that rocks. Oh, I have to start wearing my glasses again, boo. I've had prescription lenses since I was 11 or 12 for astigmatism,  but it never bothered me  enough to have to wear them. Well, now it does, especially my left eye, so I'm a 4 eyes again. I got the smallest frames I could and they are very light but it's still gonna take some getting used to. Well, I'm going to sign off now. ~Later

Well, I've officially quit Weight Watchers. Not the program mind you, just going to the meetings and forking over 10 bucks every week to get weighed and lose .4 or whatever. I lose so damn slowly that I just can't justify spending 40 dollars per month to step on a scale. I know the program like the back of my hand and lord knows I never learned anything from those stupid meetings and there was no support there what-so-ever. You'd do better folks to go through the program and get your materials and then go to the WW web site where you can get any support and info you need for FREE. Weigh yourself at home, or better yet, never step on the friggin scales again! You know if you are losing or not you don't need a number on a scale. This is my second week of not going to the meetings and I can't even begin to tell you how much more relaxed I am; for me stepping on those scales was SO nerve wracking. Not to mention that I couldn't eat anything salty 3 days before and up until weigh in. God forbid I'd hold water and have a tremendous water gain of 7 pounds over night. And the only time my husband and I could have sex was Wednesday night after the meeting, because it takes a full week to recoup after sex and for all my bloat to go away~remember my fibroids. Ugh! It was so stressful, damnit! I'm glad I'm not going anymore, so glad. Well, according to my scale (yes, I step on periodically) I'm 156 lbs, which would make me 154 lbs at WW. That's the only thing that sucks, my scales weigh higher than WW so it looks, on paper, like I'm gaining but I'm not. So even though I know I weigh less than 156 according to WW, I'm sticking with my scales from now on; so 156 it is. I keep telling myself that I need to update my stats on here, it's been forever, but I keep forgetting. Now that's what I'm most proud of! I can't believe how many FEET, not inches, FEET I've lost! Way more impressive than a few pounds! :o) You know I still don't think I'm ever going to hit goal though. I don't know if I've mentioned it on here or not but we've decided to have, or at least try, to have another baby. I know, I know. Anyway, I have an appt. with my ob/gyn April 4th to discuss our options. I just hope he doesn't say that we can't try. That will be very disappointing. Hopefully he'll do a myomectomy (sp) on me and let me procreate with his blessing, :o). Hopefully well get pregnant the first try, we usually don't have any problems with that part. I'm sure I'll have some recoup time after the surgery but it shouldn't be long. I could definitely see myself pregnant by the end of June, July the latest. That would give us another Feb baby. Or March. Mayber we'll wait until the end of summer to start trying, yeah right. Who am I fooling? If he gives us the green light, we'll be doing it like bunnies, hee hee. I'm pretty excited about it. Although the baby, I guess I should call him the toddler now, is driving me ape shit crazy lately. Damn he is so hyper and I'm hoping it's just Spring Fever but I'm going to end up in the loony bin. It has been so warm and nice here, my flowers are popping up all over the place and then BOOM!, cold snap. It's getting down into the low teens tonight. I hate this midwest weather. Oh, went furniture shopping last Sunday, and oops, spent a LOT of money! We bought new living room furniture. I got a navy leather sofa, navy leather love seat, new end tables and a coffee table. They are delivering the sofas within 2 weeks but I have to wait until mid JUNE! to get my tables. How insane is that! Can you believe I'm going to have the patience to wait that long? Me either, but I really like the tables and the way I've figured it, I've waited this long, what's another few months? OK, it's getting late, better get going. ~Later
