I hate the lows that can get you in this diet game.  One minute your upbeat and ready to go and the next, you feel like blah.  I know I have to keep working out.  I’m not gonna stop.  I have been doing my very, very best for the last 6 weeks.  No cheating.  Don’t even want to cheat.  I feel proud when I turn stuff away.  But, I’m like my own worst enemy.  I see the negative.  Like my belly still there or my back still rounded.  I already tell myself that I won’t meet my own personal goal this week or only lose one pound after all that work.  I have to constantly remind myself that I have come along way and to stay focused.  I just wish there was a guarantee.  Like, if you do this and that for this many times a week, your guaranteed to lose x amount of pounds.  But, it’s not like that.  I was thinking that a diet is like a guy you really like.  One day he likes you and calls you and wants to be with you.  And then just when you think you got him, he doesn’t call or he gives you weird clues like he’s not interested.  To me the diet is the same.  One week your body loves you, lets you lose all this weight and maybe the next, it doesn’t love you so much and gives you a little bit.  Stupid huh?  Maybe I’m not great with analogies.  Anyway, feeling a little blah.  Monday’s are usually very motivating days but by Friday, I’m beat.  Maybe I’m just tired…..  Boy, I sound fun tonight, huh?

I lost 3 pounds this last week and I am 16 pounds lighter in total.  It has taken me 5 weeks to get here but I’m here!

So, let’s throw a party!  Someone can bring the booze, someone bring those pretty little finger sandwiches and you for sure gotta have the meat and cheese plate.  And, someone bring the Nacho Cheese in the crockpot!  Yea, the same crockpot where the cheese will get real hard later and it will take an hour just to clean that pot.  And everyone get real dressed up but don’t look better than me because it’s my party!         

 And, yes, hire a male stripper if you want (I know I want  ).  So, I think we have everything.  Too bad I can’t eat none of it because I’m trying to lose weight!  How dare ya’ll not bring anything healthy to this party!  Are ya’ll trying to sabotage me?  Get out.  Everyone get out.  And whoever brought the crockpot, take that with you as you leave.

Tuesday I was in the gym doing my running and walking and feeling good.  Tired, but good.  When I was done, I do what I always do and that’s walk by the mirror to get some water and check myself out.  I gotta check myself out because no one is gonna do it for me.  Anyway,  I thought, “Hmmm, you’re looking pretty good there Wonder Woman”.   I was wearing black, so that made me look slimmer, but that’s beside the point.  Anyway, while I tried to lift myself up, I noticed my neck was still missing.  Oh, there’s something there where it used to be.  But, it’s my neck.  It’s something attached to my chin and the base of my neck but it’s not my neck.  Where did it go?   There’s just fat!  That can’t be my neck, can it? 

They have all kinds of exercises for your arms, your legs, your chest, your booty, abs, whatever.  But, not your neck.  I told my husband that and he told me to move my neck around and maybe that would help.  But, what if I did that?  Maybe that would only make the fat more firmer and then I

Hi, today is my weigh in so will you be there with me as I get on the scale?  Ok, everybody!  Everybody listen up!  Please take a seat.  Excuse the house, it’s a little messy.  Please, please, can we have quiet?  I’m about to get on the scale. 

(I’m getting on the scale now)  Creeeeeeek. (Yes, the scale creeks). Please, no giggling.  I hear giggling!

194!  I’m down another 3 pounds!  Yea!  Thank you! 

Now, all of you can leave now.  Shhhh.  Please be quiet as you leave so you don’t wake the baby.  Now, have a good day.

Who said that?  No, there won’t be any breakfast.  Just go now.

Oh tell me what the scale will say, since Sunday is my weigh in day.

Will it be kind and make me happy?

 Yea, I feel good about it.  I know it sounds silly, but I wanted my red star.  The scale really said 2 1/2 pounds gone but no matter how I stood on it, I couldn’t get that 1/2 pound to move into a 3 lb loss!

Good luck today everyone!

Tomorrow is my weigh in day.  It seems like this week took forever to get here.  I’m looking forward to it because I think I will have my little duck on my wight ticker move again.  I believe I may have lost 2 pounds.  I really worked hard this week.  I’m running 2 miles and walking also.  Sometimes though, 2 pounds just doesn’t seem enough.

But, then I think about those tubes of ground beef that you buy at the grocery store.  The smaller tubes equal 1 pound.  And when I hold that one pound in my hand, I can see that it is alot of weight gone.   So, if I lose two pounds tomorrow, that will make a total loss of 10 pounds and that is for sure alot of ground beef tubes! 

I could have a big party with all that meat.  You know, that’s not a bad idea.  When I reach my mini goal, I should throw a party and cook hamburger patties that = the amount I lost!  People at the party don’t have to know this.  Plus, I can watch everyone else gain weight while they eat.  I figure that’s another way for me to look thin.  Make everyone else fatter than me!

Good luck to everyone tomorrow!  With all the snacks on Super Bowl Sunday, your gonna need it!

Do you ever do well on your diet and workouts, lose weight and feel good and think your making progress?
