It is sad when you learn you just can't have the foods you once used to put away like there was no tomorrow. Those of you who visit often will have noticed that I did not post last week. It was not a good week! The weekend before the meeting I gave in to my cheese curd craving (and, uh, some other stuff too...) and it showed on the scale! I was UP 2.8 pounds. I was VERY bummed and my poor hubby got to deal with a mopey wife for the evening. We also slacked off on running all of last week because I had one of my world class headaches and was actually even out of work for a day and a half! Well, I got myself back on track with the diet thankfully, and we also got back into running starting on Sunday. I am happy to report that this week I got rid of all but .2 of that stupid 2.8 - in other words I was down 2.6 this week, making my total weight loss just under that 27 pound mark again! As for the hubby - he got another star for his bookmark this week!!! He was down 1 pound exactly this week, making his total weight loss 20.8 pounds. The big poop only has 12 pounds left till he hits goal! I am very proud of him and I must say he is looking MIGHTY fine if you ask for my humble opinion. ;-) As for my goal, I have been wondering if it is a little too lofty since I am already getting pretty close to the "shape" I feel I should be, so I spoke with the leader today. She told me that no, my goal was NOT very realistic (she also said I wear my weight very well because she thought I had to be near my goal already - that made me feel good!) and so we set a new one together of 145 (it was 135 before). Once I hit that we will re-evaluate and see where I'm at to decide if I should keep going or maintain that. That means that I only have 16.6 pounds to go until I hit goal! Wow, I feel like I can hit that in no time! Well, there I just went and jinxed myself, so I guess we'll wait and see HA HA. Thanks for checking in. Have a great week, and we'll hopefully have more good news next week! :-)
