Was so proud of myself last night.  Husband and daughter wanted DQ.  They were playing Wii and asked me to go get some (very close to our house).  Thought about taking one bite of my husband's but didn't, just got home, served them and walked away!!
PLUS:  Our Halloween candy that my husband and daughter picked out last night was not catering to the likes of the trick or treaters like it usually is.  This year they bought all different kinds of skittles.  I can avoid skittles for the most part.  so yay!  Last year was a disaster.  We normally had been having about 100 kids come by in past years.  So we bought 100 candy bars.  About 25 were left over.  FULL SIZE CANDY BARS....not a good outcome for me.  Everyone have a good Sunday!

Well, that's it for this round, but I'm happy I ended below 190 (just barely).
The next few months will be rough and I haven't completely decided if I'll start another round within that timeframe, but I CANNOT WAIT to start dropping more sizes!
I am not stopping here kids!

Going back to my Norwegian heritage, I've got to say UFF-DA!
We had family photos taken this past weekend, and WOW.  I didn't think my tree trunk legs were as bad as they used to be, but the pictures tell the true story.  Nothing snaps you back into reality than a photo!!

Question for my followers:  Do you think caffeinated coffee is better for the body than diet soda?
The reason I ask:  I drink a LOT of soda every day.  I manage to get my water in too, but it seems I need to be drinking something or have something in front of me every 10 minutes or so.  Now I've never liked/drank coffee, but I love the smell of it.  I wonder if it would be possible for me to make the switch, or would it be worth it.

Crud, now I can't remember what my weight was this morning.....190.6 or 191.6.  I totally blew it yesterday, so I'm sure it's the higher of the two.  The reason I'm confused is because I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I thought I had dropped a pound, because I though yesterday's weight was 192.6(?)
My husband seems to be struggling with the same issues...can't lose well because (duh!) we're not following protocol.

[Edit] Just got some "help" from my co-workers.  Since I had a bad day yesterday, my mind was sayin, "Well-you might as well go ahead and have that pizza from Punch for lunch today.  You're already screwed up AND you skipped it yesterday while everyone else in the office had theirs, so you deserve it."  Anybody else know that "talk"?
I have awsome co-workers and we can tell each other good or bad, joke around and no one takes it bad etc.  So I've been a little disappointed that no one has mentioned anything about my weight.  And I'm not the kind of person that would ask them directly.  Last week the building owners came around and gave every office a basketful of full size candy bars.  I had the power to resist them that day, but before I left for the day I went around to everyone and made them take at least one so there wouldn't be any left on Monday.  I thought I was pretty smart, but then this morning when I got in, someone had placed a bag of skittles back on my desk. (very funny guys!)   SO, of course I didn't have as much will power as I did on Friday, so I opened the bag, ate 4 and then poured them into a little bowl and put it on the file cabinet where I know people will just grab a few as they go by and soon they will be gone.  So I was laughing about being sneaky and FINALLY two co-workers commented on how I was looking and "whatever you're doing is working!"
I feel good again and will NOT be having that pizza today!  It's a shame that I rely on other people to make me feel good sometimes, but....that's how it is.

Yesterday was an exhausting day.  And a day that I couldn't/didn't eat on protocol.  We took our daughter and a friend to a CD signing for Big Time Rush at the Mall of America.  BTR is a show on Nickelodeon about 4 boys in a band.  They dropped their first CD this past Monday.  We were there on our feet, waiting-for 5 hours.  Exhausting but worth it.

200 used to be an elusive number, now I'm wondering if 190 is the new elusive number.  BUT, I am determined and ready to fight for it!  Tomorrow I WILL be under 191 and under 190 by Monday!
Yep, there I said it!

Well...it's not a good feeling when you follow protocol (I even ate broccoli at lunch) and then blow it later in the day.  My husband grilled a steak for me for dinner, and it tasted weird to me so I did not eat it.  Instead, while helping my daughter with homework, I mindlessly snacked on pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds.

Thanks for your comments yesterday.
My lack of posting for several days was due to many "incidents" with mini candy bars that my husband and daughter thought would be OK to have in the house.  Mind you these were not bought to give out for Halloween AND there was not just one bag!  I even went in search of (and found) them when I told my daughter she better hide them.
