Hip Hip Hooray!

I did it!!!! FINALLY! Today at the Dr.'s office I weighed.....are you ready?....179!!!!! And that was with full clothes on and after breakfast! I am still considered morbidly obese according to my BMI, but who cares? I am now officially in the 170's. What a relief!

Rachel Getting Married

It's Monday again, and no I did not make my goal weight for the second week in a row. However, I weighed 180.6, so let's just call it close enough. I'm sure by the end of the week I will have made into that wonderful 179 territory. Plus this is still 2 pounds less from my last blog. I need to try and keep it all in perspective or I will make myself crazy! Also, my 14's are getting to be a little big, so I am thrilled to death about that!

On a different note, man I was so disappointed with this movie! I have been anxiously waiting for it to come in the mail, and I finally had the chance to watch it last night. It stared off so good, but almost halfway through I had to turn it off. I was sooooo bored (and secretly wanted to finish reading New Moon!). The story line was excellent, but the execution was so long and involved. I mean, they spent like 20 minutes of the movie centered around loading and unloading the dishwasher! Maybe it was too "deep" for me. I will check online to see how it ends. Still, Anne Hathaway was AMAZING, and I have to give her credit for this role. She is becoming one of my favorite actresses. Check it out for yourselves, and let me know what you think!

Movie Review

As you probably have guessed by now, no I did not reach my goal weight of 179. Check back next Monday.....ughhh

On a different, more pleasant note, I finally got a chance to watch this Netflix movie last night. It was so fun and cute, and surprisingly humorous. It didn't get the best reviews, and I am not quite sure why. I love these two no matter what movie they are in, but their chemistry in this movie, specifically, is undeniable. I think this is one to add to the DVD collection. If you are in the mood for something light-hearted and easy, this movie is the one for you. I also recently purchased Seven Pounds and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, so I suppose I will watch those at some point. I haven't been in the mood for something quite so heavy and dramatic lately, but I am still anxious to see them.

Time to update my Netflix queue.....any suggestions?

Special K

Has anyone tried this new Special K? It is soooo yummy! This might be just what I need to hit my 179 weight by Monday. I could easily eat this for two meals a day. Plus I added extra fresh blueberries on top- so good. You won't be disappointed!

Weight time

Today's weight is 182. Only .8 lost, but I am pleased with that. Saturday we attended a pig pickin, and Sunday was Gary's party with brats, pasta salad, beans, cupcakes, chips and dip, etc. I hate eating like that when I know I need to weigh on Monday. So I am happy with this minor weight loss. It is still my lowest weight since January! I have one more week to hit the 179 mark, so I am going to work my butt off this week! 3 pounds, can I do it?

Weight update

Sorry I have nothing else to blog about right now, but I want to keep these blog weight updates going. Not that anyone cares, but it helps me to record it every week to keep me on track.

Today I weighed 182.8, so that is 1 lb down from last week. I did great all week until Sunday when it was party time. Gary's family has a party every weekend it seems, and Kelly had some of the most dangerous foods at this one: pigs in a blanket, mini cheesecakes, cupcakes, etc. Still, I am pleased with the 1 lb loss- next week should be better. Although, we have a party Sat and Sun, so that could be interesting!
