WHERE HAVE I BEEN???? And weight results for the last two weeks (weeks 7 and 8)

Hello again all! I am still alive!

Sorry it's been so long since I posted. I've had my parents staying with us for a week and I was desperately finishing up cleaning and organizing last Monday night before they got here. I just couldn't stop and post my weight results.

So here I am tonight, posting two weeks worth. I'll probably be doing a post "dump" at some time this week, because I have a lot of things I want to talk about. Of course, it all depends on how this week goes. I can't promise anything, really. Haha!

I for sure will be doing a post about seeing the new Star Wars. I'll make sure I label it with spoiler warnings, although, I don't plan on going into too much detail. If you're looking for huge spoilers, the internet has them all. I read them. Before I even went to the movie. I'm just that kind of person. Gotta know what I'm getting myself into before I commit. That is something my husband does not understand about me. He and I really are opposite in so many ways. But you know what they say: "Opposites attract." And in our case, that is very true. :)

A Christmas post will also be coming, along with updates on my depression and physical health. I will also be creating a Facebook page and Blog post about the 100 Day Challenge that I briefly touched on a while back. So please stand by! I want to try to bust one out every night. But once again, I can't guarantee it will be every night.

So here are my weight results. I did weigh myself last week (week 7) and those results are:

Current weight: 255.5 lbs.

Weight lost this week: 2.0 lbs.

Total weight lost: 9.9 lbs.

SO, SO, SO close to the 10 pound mark. Gah!!!! And with Christmas being this last week, I was in despair. Because, let's face it. The good eats are what make Christmas day so much fun! At least when my mom is around, because she makes THE BEST food! Mmmmmm.....

So I was super nervous when I stood on the scale this morning. Like, I didn't even want to look down. Oh! And my period started the day after Christmas, and for all those who keep track, that is not usually the time you want to weight yourself because you always seem to be like 52 pounds heavier for that week. And your hormones are tormenting you and telling you that you suck because you didn't happen to make a baby, which is what the body wants. And if you don't give the body what it wants, it will GUT you. No joke! Anyway, I digress.

So this morning; I stepped on the scale, took a deep breath and looked down. Here is what I saw (week 8):

Current weight: 253.1 lbs.

Weight lost this week: 2.4 lbs.

Total weight lost: 12.3 lbs.

Um, WHAT??!?!?!?

How is that possible???

I mean, HAM, GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE, POTATOES, COOKIES, BAKED CINNAMON ROLL FRENCH TOAST, MORE COOKIES, CANDY, etc.

But I wasn't going to argue.

I was so happy, it was all I could do to not dance a little gig right there, standing naked in the bathroom!!!!

I hit the 10 pound mark and flew right past it!

Yay!
YAY!
YAY!

I'm going to bask and enjoy, but not put my guard down for a moment. I am almost out of the 250's, and I don't want to ever be there again.

I am so ready for the new year! I want to start doing my Jillian Michael's again and I think the weight will really fly off then. At least I hope so! I also have a sleep study appointment at the end of February to see if I have Sleep Apnea. I would love to go to that appointment being at LEAST 20 pounds lighter than when I started. By this time next year, I want to be 200 pounds or less. Then in 2017, I want to pound out the last 40 pounds of stubborn "jiggle" that clings to my nether regions. Of course, if I do get pregnant, that will have to be put on hold for a while. But being my weight, my OB said that I could still have a healthy baby if I only gain like 15 pounds (at the most), so that' my goal. Gaining no more than 15 pounds while I'm pregnant. It shouldn't be too hard. But that's a hurdle and discussion for another time.

I'm going to end this post now, because I am tired and 8:30 is my bedtime. :) Thank you all for hanging in there and listening and not giving up on me. I am far from perfect when it comes to this blog, but it has seriously been one of the best things to help me in my healing. And it's because of all of you! Love you all!

Hope you all had a great holiday!

And have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Let's make it a great day!
