I lost again this week though I am honestly not sure how. I was a bad girl this weekend, lol. But I lost another 1.4lbs. So I have lost a total of 12.2lbs so far I think. I know it's at least 12lbs, I just get messed up with the tenths of a pound, lol. Next week I start the bootcamp thing so I am way nervous about that.
Steve's car is broken. :( We were at Walmart yesterday (after it had been running fine all day) and he went to start it and the key wouldn't turn. Well after calling a bunch of different people and beating the hell out of it, it finally worked. He found a thing online that this is apparently a common problem in Fords and that it is something in the ignition that is malfunctioning. So I just talked to my shop guy and he is going to see if he can find the prices for parts. And he called me back and it looks like it will be around $200 for parts and labor. That's not bad in the grand scheme of things really.
Well that seems to be all for me today.

Weekly check-in
I think that this week was a good week, weight-wise anyways. I lost 3.2lbs this week so I am down a total of 11.2lbs so far. I am below the weight that I was at for so long. Someday I will publish what my starting weight was, but I am not ready to do that. I am looking forward to, but very nervous about doing the bootcamp thing. I know that I need to be more active and so I will be.
In other news: my poor hubby is sick, not sure what is wrong there. He has a doc appt. today and I think I am going to go with him because I have the free time at work. He starts working third shift this week so I will actually be able to see him in the evenings! I am excited about that!! I have been only seeing him for about an hour a day while he has been working 2nds. Not much else is going on really. I am trying to mentally prepare for November because it is going to be insanely busy.

Change is coming!
Nope, not talking about Obama '08! :) Starting in November, I will be doing a pre-bootcamp at a local gym. I am nervous as hell but excited too. The pre-bootcamp will be for November and December and then I will be doing the full fitness bootcamp in January, February, and March. My friend Mandee is doing it with me so hopefully we can keep each other motivated. I am excited that I will have a buddy with me! This will help me get moving and teach me about stuff regarding exercise that I don't know. Here's hoping!

Busy weekend!
To start out, weight loss this week is only about 0.4lbs but I will take it. I am now down to the weight that I was for many years. I just have to get the number to go down from here and I will be doing well. My total weight loss is 8lbs. It may not seem like much, but when you think about what 8lbs of something looks like (I always think of 8 one lb packages of ground beef), it's a lot. I need to buckle down a bit more this week to see a bigger change.
In other news: we got an aquarium this weekend for the outside goldfish. It's a 55 gal. and it came with the stand and everything. We got it from a lady selling it in the paper. We only paid $150 for it, so I didn't think that was bad. We also turned in the paperwork for the dog at the shelter. Hopefully they will call this week and we can maybe pick her up this weekend. I am looking forward to having a walking buddy.
I have managed to contract some kind of cold. My throat is killing me, my tonsils are swollen huge, I have a cough, my sinuses hurt and are draining, and my head feels like it is going to explode. I haven't decided whether or not to call the doc. I would like to go just to show him that I am losing weight, lol. Anyways, I think that is it for today.

Weight check-in
Not feeling well today. Strongly considering going back home. Good news is that I am down another 1.6 lbs this week. That is extremely good news actually. Okay, that is all for now.

weekly update
Here it is, Monday again. So I got on the scale this morning. I didn't have high hopes again this week. But the scale was down 0.2lbs this week. So I have lost a total of 6lbs even. I have had the worst time getting myself to be motivated to get on the treadmill. I imagine things would speed up if I did too. I did a crappy job of taking my medicine this weekend.
I finally have my own office and it is nice. My wonderful husband helped me hang new pictures on the wall yesterday. It's starting to really feel like mine now. Eventually I think will want to get a new desk. I think this one is okay for now though. We woke up at 5am this morning to a storm and had to get out of bed and close all the windows in the house. I hope we will be able to reopen them this afternoon. I like the fresh air. I am getting my hair cut and colored on Wednesday. I cannot wait. It has been months and months since I had it done the last time. Perhaps that will motivate me a little bit more.
Today should be a busy day at work. We shall see though because it is starting pretty slow.

Update
I definitely didn't have a good week this week. We celebrated our anniversary this past Monday and I think I just kept celebrating all week. I did realize something yesterday though, I hate feeling hungry, I really hate it. When I haven't eaten, I get sick to my stomach (seriously) and I end up feeling like crap. So in order to not feel like this, I eat some more. Which means that I need to find some foods that take longer to digest (lower glycemic index as it were) so that I can go longer without feeling hungry. My doctor also suggest appetite suppressants, but I don't want to do this "on pills". Maybe someday if I can't figure it out on my own. I got my treadmill back from my mom's house so I can get my butt back on that thing. It was nice, this past Sunday at church, someone actually noticed that I have lost a little bit of weight and commented on it. That is always nice to hear.
Today I feel chubby and uncomfortable which is good motivation to get myself moving again. I did get on the scale this morning, though I almost forgot. I have lost another 0.4lbs so I guess I will take that since I had such a bad week last week. So I think my total weight loss so far is 5.8lbs. I still haven't had a real Dr. Pepper yet though, so that part is a success. I have been surviving on tea, water, and Diet Dr. Pepper. I never though I would find a diet soda that I would drink willingly. I can't say that it tastes good, but it doesn't taste bad so that's something. I suppose that it is for the past week. Next week will be better.
