Becky Boo’s Weightloss for LIFE

Hi everyone Well, I have been a hungry hungry hippo the past few days. I have not been going over my cals or anything bu I have def been maxing them out… I was talking abt it at work today and my co worker asked if it was almost time for me to start. OF COURSE! I do this EVERY month—a week before I am to start I get HUNGRY! So I was afraid I was losing my fight, my drive, my life saving motivation! I am so happy to realize what it really is! Whoo! I was getting worried A month seems like it flies by but when I forget something that happens EACH month, it cant be all that short/fast! Hee Hee Hee. So, I weigh in tomorrow. The damn scale was back up to 221 this morning. I really need to just buck it up and weigh in once a freakin week. Grrr. I will log onto tomorrow before work to report my weigh in. If hx repeats itself, with the loss last week, it will be a maintain this week but we shall see… I hope everyone is doing well and making good choices

Good morning all. I know I dont normally report on  my weigh-ins til Friday but as most of you who read my blog know, I am an every morning weigher. Well, I must say I was PLEASANTLY suprised when I got on the scale today and it said… 219! That is ONE Pound away fro my mini goal of 218 and, at 219, that is 59 TOTAL pounds down. But, I ONLY count-count my Friday weigh-ins so we shall see what happens then Have a great day all !

Hi everyone I had a really good day and I hope that you ALL did too. I did great with food today. I am right on track with plenty of calories left for dinner. It was dark and rainy here again today but the nice weather should be back soon. I am excited for the weather to soon be staying nice and for the summer to be here soon! There are already so many fun thigs being planned by my friends and I am getting excited! And my mom told me since I have no summer pants (capris) anymore since I gave them all away for being too big, she is going to buy me some since I have no money! YAY! I have my paper presentation tomorrow so I will need to work on that tonight. I am not too worried about the presentation, more worried about what I will say, not the actual speaking in front of people part. I will figure it out later though. I think I will make a hand out to give to everyone. I got home from work today and decided to clean up a bit around here. Not too much, not SKinnyChris-style ha ha ha but I did sweep my first floor wood floors and vacuum the rugs and move the living room furniture around and swept all under it and rearranged. So I am now relaxing for a bit and getting ready for the biggest loser. I think I should get my presentation aquared away before it begins in an hour and a half or so… Well, I am feeling good about this week, if I dont lose, I will take the  maintain since I have been losing everyother week for the past month or so. Like Kama’s blog said, 1/2-1 pound a week is best so I am right on target… I hope you are all doing well and makig GOOD choices!

Good morning all. I am off today and it is rainy and cloudy today. The dogs are miserable cause they are stuck inside…I thought I would wake up early since I went to bed fairly early but no such luck. I need to return some things to the store then get my butt back here to begin this paper. I don’t know why I procrastinate so much about writing papers, I do fine once I start… The scale is up from my high day of homemade pizza yesterday. I know it will come back down but it is up 3 pounds. Yowsers. It is usually back to normal by Wednesday morning after the weekend. Sometimes Tuesday. Well, I don’t have to  much to say and better get moving and blow dry my hair so I can get outta here and back for my paper… Enjoy the rest of your day—looks like the sun is trying to peak out here

***UPDATE: I finished my paper a bit ago, around 7:20 or so. I am so glad I finally just sat down and wrote it… Now I just have to present on it on Wednesday and then the next week two finals then I am done til June 8th. I will have a month break so that will be nice. I did really well on eating today too. I had a fuji apple and string cheese for breakfast, I ate lunch with the ex at Chili’s and had soup, salad and some chips and salsa (all measured and counted)and for dinner I had green giant brocoli and cheese, a ww giant latte frozen bar and some smartpop tonight. I came in at 1314 calories so I am a ok with this. COnsidering yesterday I guesstimated at just over 3000…

Hi everyone. Well, the weekend is almost over and I will be off tomorrow. I have no clue what I will be doing… I need to return a shirt to Old Navy and a set of clippers I bought thinking I would shave my cat  but I dont want to open them and try to use them then the cat not let me do it and the pkg being all ripped open… He has all his claws too so I don’t really wanna be striped with cat scratches You know I got some new tops, some only $5, from Old Navy the other day and two of the tanks I was able to get in a large. I still grab the biggest size and then realize it is too big and have to go back out and get another one. At work today, the residents said they would like it if I made them homemade pizza (I sometimes like to cook for them on Sundays) so I had one of the guys make a list with me (he needs practice) and then we went to get the stuff. I didnt make the crust, we bought crust already made. The pizzas were so yummy. I didn’t do a whole lot of work today. I ended up going to a former co worker/friend’s house that I have not seen in a long long long time (abt a year) and hung out with her boyfriend and his family. I had fun. Then I talked to one of my bffs and she was out so I met her and I stayed WAY too late for a work night… I didnt get to bed til around 1 am or so and I was sooo sleepy when I woke up this morning. I went to two grocery stores on the way home so I have food for this week. I got red grapes, beef jerkey, some chicken, some more of those WW Giant Latte bars (eventhough I still have some) , some coffee, some Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper (I am drinking some now Marie, thanks for the idea), some magazines (eventhough I should begin my paper that is due Wednesday, I am  not—oooh, that is what I will DO tomorrow!), some Green Giant frozen cauli, broc and something else (about 5 boxes), strawberries, SmartPop Kettle Corn and I am not sure what else I want to go to Trader Joe’s tomorrow but I am not sure I have the money for that right now. I think I should just eat what I have here then go another time. I am sooo sleepy. I am almost to my next mini goal, 3 pounds away. I don’t think I will hit it this week but maybe next time. Oh, I ran into a lady I know at the grocery store and she was like, “Is that Becky?” She said she almost didnt say anything cause she wasnt sure if it was me, that I had lost so much weight and that she was proud of me That made me feel REALLY good. I know I usually have a REALLY positive outlook and don’t get down on myself but sometimes I feel like a BIG giant still. I forget that I have lost any weight and it is nice to be reminded when things are not going as quickly. I know we have all been here. I am not down on myself but I still really look forward to the next 50 pounds is all I am saying… Well, I I hope you all have a GREAT week and that everyone does REALLY well and here is to everyone making really GREAT choices all week long~

Hi all! What a great day at work I have had. We started early going to yardsales anddid thattil the bank opened cause some needed to go there.  Then we went to more yardsales and over to the Missouri side of the river to the outdoor bird festival. It is so so so nice out. Then we drove up what we call the “river road” (hints: it os on the river ) and stopped and had fresh fish! I even got a little tan. And, I wore a tank top in public without ANYTHING over it for the first time in probaly 8 years! So, I had as great day and the residents all reported they did as well, that they really enjoyed themselves. Hope you are all enjoying your weekend too!

Hi everyone. I def caught up on my sleep lastnight, today I got up a few times for the animals but did not wake up for GOOD til about 10:30 or so ! I weighed in and I lost 2 pounds this week. YAY! So I guess I am maintaining one week then losing the next. YIPPPIEEE! I know I am doing well with eating and have my mind totally in this thing so I am so happy with how it is going with the weightloss. Plus, it was getting financially draining dropping sizes every month… Mama doesnt like to wear clothes that are TOO big cause I only look that much bigger that way I am comfortably in a size 16 now, started at 278 in a 22/24. It is BEAUTIFUL here today and I am glad for that. The pups are outside chilling in the backyard and they must be enjoying it cause not a one of the three is barking. I am sure my neighbors who work shift work are ever so greatful for this! My border collie is a barking FREAK usually and I have to bring her in often… I dont have big plans for today, just going to run some errands and go out to eat later for dinner with my bff when she gets off work. I have a paper to write so I will start reading and taking  notes for it later too. I work this weekend and plan to stay on track with my cals. I have not decided if today will be a high day or tomorrow. It is getting kind of late in the day to make it today so it may have to be Saturday or Sunday. Tomorrow at work the residents are all going to be up and ready when I get there and I am going to take them yardsaling early. And for those of you who arr  not up on your US geography, the St. Louis area is on SEVERAL rivers. Where I work (north of St. Louis actually in IL), it is right where the Mississippi and the Illinois Rivers meet. There is some kind of celebration at some kind of nature bird park on the river tomorrow that I am going to take them too. There is going to be food,  music, some kind of bird shows, crafts to look at and a boat ride. I am excited to take them cause we will get to spend some nice time outside and there wont be alcohol or anythign there. It will be a good, clean fun place to take them. Some of the people have hx of substance and alcohol abuse so sometimes festivals and picnics arent the best choice for them but this one is perfect. I am excited. I may have to stay super busy doing work most weekdays I am there but the weekends can be really GREAT. YAY! Okay, I am off to get some coffee and then come back and read a little bit about how all you are doing. And I guess I will update my weight tracker too!  ;) Happy Days to you all !

Hi everyone It is so so so nice here today. 80 degrees and so nice. I have the windows open and all the pups outside. Just got home from work. I am going to do a WHOLE lot of nothing tonight cause I am so sleepy from getting home so late lastnight and then sabotaging myself and staying up til after 1 am watching the Sex and the City movie that I have already seen. WH? I was so sleepy all day today. I have made sure I have eaten plenty today to make up for my terrible failure yesterday with being so busy with the new resident and then to school. I had an apple, some steak and shake microwave chili, some chicken and two cookies that my co worker made. I will still have dinner later. Well, If this mornings weigh in is any indicator of what it will be tomorrow morning, I am P L E A S E D . If I maintain every other week and lose 3 on the other weeks, I am NOT going to be sad ;)  We will c tomorrow ! I am going to read some blogs now. Hope you are all doing well and making good choices .

Hi all. I just got home from school and I am tired! But a little slap happy… I had a bad food day as in NOT enough food due to my schedule. I had a cup of coffee with a no sugar hot chocolate pkt in it. Then I made a yummy salad for lunch with lots of fruit in it and then I had beef jerkey and a fiber bar and some smart pop. I had a new resident move in so I was too busy to eat my normal amount of food I try to get in since I go straight to class on Wednesdays. I will make up for it tomorrow I promise myself this! I dont have trouble getting my  increased calories in any other day but Wednesdays. I turned my paper in and now I have just one more paper this semester, a presentation and two tests. Then summer classes begin June 8th. I will have a 3-4 week break at least. Much shorter than the last break which was over a month, forgotI was going to grad school at that point Well, I hope everyone is doing well. I am going to read some blogs and hit the hay. Night Night  lovely buddie

Okay, must share. I LOVE coffee flavored things. I just bought (kind of pricey at over 5 bucks for 6) WW GIANT latte freezer pops. YUM! They are BIG and yummy and only 90 cals or one point if WW is your thing. I will DEF get them again! YEAH!
