Thanks so much KIM!!!!
I was so excited on Sunday when I hit the flat 200 cuz' I knew from there it was going to be all "onederland"! Heck even last night I told my hubby how I couldn't wait to weigh myself this morning. LOL
I havn't been at this weight for at least......well lets just say I didn't have any kids.
Thanks for stopping by!

Congrats on your weight loss so far!!

You're doin so well!

Only a few more pounds and you'll be half way there!

We're all cheering for you!

Hey all ~
Sorry it has seemed that I have not been around much. I have been reading up on everyone's diaries, just didn't have the time to post anything except for maybe a quick snippet here or there.
Weighed in this morning at 199.4! So I am still in Onderland and it was NOT a fluke of my imagination. LOL
I haven't been in Onderland in about 10 years. At least since when I got married. When I got married I weighed about 189-195 somewhere in there. At the time I wasn't paying to much attention to my weight.
Woke up this morning feeling like absolute crap!
TOM I think is trying to kill me off. Thankfully this is the last one I should ever have if all goes well with my procedure at the end of this month.
Hubby seems to think (jokingly of course) that this is TOMs last hurrah. Like it knows I am trying to kill it off! hahaha
So.......I won't be going in to my swim classes today as TOM and swimming just don't mix. Or at least mine doesn't. So there goes an hour and a half of working out. But to tell you the truth I don't think that I could work out at all right now with the pain that I am having in my back.
The weather here lately has been a bit balmy for the month of November and I am hoping that I will feel better later this afternoon so that I can finally go out and clear my flowerbeds. Since taking my Master Gardner Classes I learned that your really suppose to let your beds go well into the cold season. Especially since many of the perrinals ( I know I am spelling it wrong ) need that cold snap to set them up for next years growth.
It has pretty much drove dh crazy as he thinks that the beds look like an eyesore but I think he will be happy come next year when most if not all of the perrinials look healthier than they did this year.
Well I think that I am going to go take some super-duper strength pain killer and lay down. I just don't feel well at all today.
I hope that everyone else's day is wonderful.
I will try to make it to your diaries but the forum seems slow today and when it starts doing that I usually just walk away.
Catch ya all later!

Thanks for popping in!
I appreciate so much the well wishes. It is so amazing to me that I have lost 30 pounds in 3 months and a week. In fact the other day while I was at work it dawned on my that since my first major goal is 165 that I could feasiably make it to that goal in another 3 1/2 months. I was floored. So now I feel like I have even more incentive to git-r-done.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hey girlie!! I'm sorry TOM is visiting, but at least that means your weekend should be better right?? Unless TOM sticks around for 7 days, mine are only 3 days, so I'm always happy when it hits during the week, so on the weekends, I'm free and clear. LOL LOL

YEAH on keeping it in ONDERLAND, what a great feeling, is your H making cute comments now?? I bet your looking fantastic. And even if your clothes are still the same, I KNOW they are fitting and feeling better even now.
But you said your down in a 16 now? is that right, or did I read wrong in my diary? I was a little confused, I'm sure your down there after all the weight you have lost. I'm so happy for you!!

KEEP IT GOING!!!
HUGS
Kim

Hey Kim
Not quite into a 16 yet. I could probably squeeze into a 16 but I would rather wait and be able to have them slide right on.
As far as TOM unfortunately he likes to stick around for double digit days. That is why at the end of this month I will be going in to have this taken care of once and for all. Cuz' nothing else has worked.
They don't promise you to never ever have another one but most likely that is the outcome. Or to have one like what you have.
Dh has been making lots of cute remarks. Most of them I can't repeat........ LOL
I have been getting comments at work from the guys.
Which I think is absolutely hilarious. When I was single never did I have guys hit on me as much as I do now. LOL
Must have something to do with the "well she is already taken so we are in no danger of her actually taking us serious". Who knows.
Well I am off to make dinner.
Having Venison Steaks. Mmmmmmm.........Yummy
Catch ya later Gater!

You like Venison??? LOL LOL My Ex was a hunter and the only Venison I like is summer sausage, LOL have you had that yet?? it's good!

Venison is very low in fat, so good for you being able to eat it. It's much, much better than cow.

YEAH BABY Almost in a 16, WOW!!! no wonder the boys are drooling at work! You know I think they are not only hitting on you more or making comments because of the weight loss, but it's probably due to what inside also, You have a fantastic ora about you! I sense it by what you write, so I'm sure in person it's ten times more apparent.

HUGS!
Kim

Ahhh Thanks Kim that was one of the nicest things ever said about me!
I try to have fun at work and be very upbeat. I mean you gotta work and even if it's not your dream job you still should have fun. Makes the time go faster.

As for Venison it is one of the tastiest meats. Yummy!
We had some summer sausage made last year and it was fantastic. Gonna do the same this year. In fact hubby just called to tell me that he just got an 8 point so needless to say I think that even if I didn't like it I would be eating it! LOL
To bad you didn't live closer cuz' I would so totally be handing out some sausage to ya!
Have you ever had Buffalo? Now that is a LEAN meat! Tasty too.
C-Ya

No Buffalo, but I currently have some Ram in the freezer. That's pretty good!! I hear buffalo is tasty. You know I don't like steak, YUK! I like hamburger, but I hate steak, LOL LOL I know there is something wrong with this girl right?? I'm a turkey, fish, chicken gal, BUT.... I will try anything ONCE! my boys are total carnivores. LOL Meat and potatoes all the way. I have got to head over to the gym, MAYBE I'll be surprised and my H will be there, he has wanted to start going back, but with his busy schedule he just hasn't had the extra time during the week, uggg!! I love watching him run around in those cute shorts chasing that raquet ball, WE call it SPANKY BALL, just a little inside joke between the two of us. It's funny. LOL LOL have a great evening. I would love to work with you, I bet you do make it worth coming to the office.

WOW congrats!!!!


I hope you feel better soon!

Mmmmmm Ram sounds tasty!
Hubby is going on a bear hunt next summer. (I just had the sudden urge to quote "going on a bear hunt going find a big one I'm not scared been there before") so that should be some good meat. Not sure how lean it will be though LOL
How nice it must be to have a dh who will workout with you. Mines not so into that. Though he has lost 8-9 pounds just because I have been cooking differently. Maybe just maybe he will jump on the bad wagon if he sees how well I keep doing.
Gotta go!
Hope you have a great workout.
Love ya!

Thanks for popping in with the Kudos!
It sure is nice to have a small cheering section to keep me inspired!
Catch ya later!

Miss Bellaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!
I totally missed you hitting Onderland!!!!!

Congrats hun! I'm so proud of you, you're doing freakin awesome! You're gonna be passing me up soon!

xoxoxoxox

Thanks Elle and Curvie Girlie for the Reps!!! Woohoo I'm getting up there now!! LOL

Man I sooooo don't want to go to work! UGH!!!
With the new "bosses" the job has become such a pain.
Always before it would at least be somewhat fun but not much now.

That and I am in process of trying to decide if I have to change my schedule back to full-time orderfilling. I totally don't want to do that but we are starting to get strapped for cash and Dh gets a little bit butt puckery when that happens. Better to suck it up at work rather than to deal with him at home.
Big thing is that I would totally miss out on being with my 4 year old every day. And I just don't know that I can do that. Not after spending that last 8 months at home with him.
So I got some things to think about and to contemplate. SIGH
This week had really whomped as far as my eating as gone.
Not sure what the heck is going on. Well I think it might have something to do with TOM. I have had the absolute worst SWEET TOOTH ever!!!!!
In fact (shamedfaced) I just took like 6 bites of the frosting that I had in the cupboard and then threw the stupid thing away. Don't even know why I did that. Maybe it is the stress of the job situation?
I didn't weigh yesterday. Did weigh this morning but it was after I had breakfast and it said that it was at 199.4. So even with all the other crap that I have eaten this week I am still floating in Onderland. Now if I could just stop with anymore "bad" eating and it should stay there!
Well I gotta go. Don't want to. But life demands it.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
See ya!

Hey There Bell!!
Just pray about it sister and it will come to you!! Sorry things are tight. Good for you throwing out the rest of that frosting, I don't know if I could have done that myself. LOL When I made the boys their cake in October, I took about 2-3 bites out of it also, but I didn't feel bad, I could have ate half the cake instead, so I try and think of the other side of it.

Look at you still in Onderland and holding strong. And with TOM on the way too, that's fricken amazing! This means you are going to stay in Onederland too, so GREAT JOB!!

I hope your weekend is better, HUGS TO YOU!
Kim
