So I initially thought I lost 5lbs, it was a mistake I made, and didn’t realize it, until later in the week, oh boy I hate when I do that because it really does throw me off, not only mentally, but on MyFitnessPal, if I put in a certain weight, it will carry over, so there is no fixing it, I just have to adjust it in my next submission, well what is done, is done. it turns out, I only lost .09 lbs, lol far from 5 lbs haha. Anyway, regardless of my mistake, I am back on track and doing okay. With that said here are this week's results. This sounds so random, but my nail was fixable, but I had to be very gentle with it, as it had broke, right on the meaty part of the nail bed. That will all heal over time. Ok till next time. God BlessEmily Continue Reading
Weigh-in #24 – Could have been better!
I wasn’t pleased with this week's weigh-in, but I didn’t gain either. It was a measly 0.9 lbs, I know almost an lb, but not quite there. As I mentioned at least I did not gain. But what had me so ecstatic this week was, I fit into a top that I fit into snuggly 5 years ago, so over the last 5 years, I guess you can say I gained 70 lbs wow right? Yeah, it is unbelievable, how we can put it on each day. The food these days OH My Gosh, how fatty it is, and don’t get me started on fast food, that is a real killer. I wish more fast food places would start popping open that serve well-balanced meals! That would be amazing, but for now, it is up to us. I am sure there are some out there, and I wish we had some locally, it would be a treat! So there are my measly 0.9 lbs, lol, but it is way better than gaining. I am so happy about how well Continue Reading
Weigh-in #23 – Doing good!
Yesterday, we went to William's family house in Boston for a triple birthday party, so this was a test of not eating too much and being picky about what I was going to have. Since they ordered pizza and a cold cuts tray to make sandwiches, I had to estimate. I did not add mayonnaise as it was too high in calories, but I did add mustard which was zero. About 2 slices of two different types of sandwich meats, and a slice of cheese (Swiss), and finally 2-4 tablespoons of coleslaw. I had a cup of coffee black with some sweet n’ low, and later a decaf Diet Coke. I think I did okay, breakfast was at Dunkin Donuts, so I know how many calories I had, as it is not the first time I’ve had their awesome turkey bacon breakfast croissants, so good!!! 390 calories though, and an iced coffee, slim milk, and sweet n’ low. So not bad, and for dinner, a Continue Reading

Weigh-in #22 -Staying on Track!
As you can tell by the title, this last weigh-in was a good one as well. Not as great as last week's 5 lb loss, I still don’t know what I did differently but it was really good to have a huge jump like that. Now let’s talk about this passed weigh-in, I weighed myself, hoping I didn’t gain, but was pretty confident I wouldn’t, below is the image of what my weigh-in was. It is about 2 lbs I lost which is what I like to lose per week, so this weigh-in is another success story, which makes me very happy, considering a couple of bad weigh-ins I had in the past. My honey tells me that I am going to make my goal, which was to lose 100 lbs in a year. I officially started my diet on January 12, 2014, at this point in time, I was not logging into the MyFitnessPal app that helps me keep track of weight, what I eat, and calories. Wish I had it Continue Reading
