Day Fifty Seven

One more pound lost!  Uh, yea!  Nothing else really.  I've been going through ice cream phases now.  I'll go days without eating any--then I'll eat a small bowl like three nights in a row.  Haven't had any today, but had a mini blizzard while I was out with the kids yesterday.  I've eaten several cookies this evening as well as a sickeningly large amount of veggie pizza.  I felt sick after.  It was bad.  Yep.  ...  Okay that's all.

Day Fifty Two

Nothing gained, nothing lost...just a whole lot of nothing going on...*sigh*...

Day Forty Four

10 pounds lighter!  Yes, you read that right--I have lost ten pounds!  Ah cha cha--a-doo-doo a-doo-dit-doo a-doo-doo a-doo-dit-doo uh huh!  (That was my happy dance sound effect in case you were wondering)

I hope I can keep it up--had a major choc-a-tack this evening.  I nuked some semi-sweet morsels and dunked pretzels.  Salty and sweet--SWEET!  Mmmm...sure was tasty.  Better kick it on the elliptical tomorrow for sure!  Can you tell I'm still riding the sugar high?  Me neither...

Day Forty

171 with clothes on this morning!  Woot woot wooty-woot-woot!  So I realize its not a particularly huge loss to be celebrating and that my average weight loss is less than stellar, but I'm still happy with it!  Call me easily pleased, ha ha. 

Even though it is still summer-warm here I am ready for soup season.  I am hoping that will help me even further along.  I made a big pot of homemade tomato soup last night.  There is just something about soup. 

Of course I will try to stay away from filling them with cream this year.  My cholesterol will probably thank me for it.  I'm going to have to figure out how to make some of my creamy classics without cream.  Maybe I'll google it later. 

Some of my favorite soups:  tomato, beef stew, taco soup, Italian meat ball, curried pumpkin, creamy squash, potato, classic noodle, matzo ball, carrot ginger...so many, maybe I'll stop here. 

I wonder if I can make "potato" soup from cauliflower?  Hmmm...

Day Thirty-eight

Well, well dear fat journal...seems I've been neglecting you, haven't I?  Well I was down eight pounds prior to going on a camping trip.  I gained one back.  So I am at 173.  I am beginning to think 35 pounds by my 35th birthday might not be quite realistic.  I'm going to try to get as close as I can though. 

I've decided breaking my ice cream addiction is just not going to happen.  I guess of all the vices to have maybe ice cream isn't so bad.  I AM trying to space out my indulgences and keep them a little smaller when I do have them.  I did not eat ice cream last night.  I think it has been every other night maybe.  Of course I did not eat any while camping, but then there were smores and a little piece of a dulce du leche cake. 

Maybe that is why I am so sweet!  ha ha...
