P.S.

By the "weigh". I made it to 126#!!YEAH for Nik!!

goal

I'm basically at my goal, so I guess now it's just maintainance. I fluctuate about 3 lbs up than back down. I'm happy with my weight, finally!! I'm just not getting regular excercise anymore because we've been landscaping. I've been heaving around ginormous rocks, but that's not quite the same as my elliptical and bike. So, back to fitting in a bit of cardio at least 4 days each week. I'm just feeling great that I can steal Kelsey's clothes!! I even fit into her size 6 American Eagle Skinny Flares. It drives her NUTS!!!! Heee, Heee!!!!

OK GUYS! I'M DOWN ANOTHER POUND- 140, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I SHOULD BE CLOSE TO MY GOAL. WE ALL NEED TO GET BACK ON TRACK! MY GOAL FOR NEXT WEEK- 138!

Motivation Anyone?

Man, with the Biggest Loser done and over with I'm not motivated at all. It looks like everyone else has plateaued as well. Any ideas to get re-motivated?

Pledge #2

Liv's Pledge for May 12th - 2 pounds (wimpy, I know, but I need to be realistic)

LIV- I LIKE YOUR IDEA OF A PLEDGE EACH WEEK. I WAS ACTUALLY UP A POUND AND A HALF A WEEK AGO BUT TOOK IT BACK OFF THIS WEEK. SO MY TICKER IS ACCURATE. MY PLEDGE FOR THIS WEEK IS TWO POUNDS. THAT WOULD PUT ME ABOUT 141ISH. I'D REALLY LIKE TO BE UNDER 140 BY THE TIME WE GET TO MONTANA. I JUST HAVE TO REMEMBER HOW GOOD IT FEELS TO FEEL EMPTY BUT NOT HUNGRY.

A Pledge

Okay people, I need to get serious here. So I'm going to make a pledge. I'm actually up a couple pounds this morning due to the fact that we have homemade bread in the house - never a good thing. We'll see if this helps me stay motivated for the week. If so I might pledge every week.

Liv's pledge for next week: 3 pounds

Food Blog

Our Best Bites. This is by far my favorite food blog I've found so far. I've only tried a few recipes but they've all turned out great. These ladies know how to cook. Last night we had THIS for dinner. We made the salad at the bottom of the page with the fabulous Bermuda Vinagraitte dressing. The dressing is good enough to drink...sweet but not overpowering. Look around on their blog...there is some yummy yummy stuff, not all of it is healthy but they have a lot of variety.

Actually I think I'll add their button to the side of our blog.

WOW

Look at us go! Great job mom and dad! Sammy, only 15# to go. Do you realize that as a whole, we've lost over 130 lbs. Keep it up!

WHILE IN TUCSON WITH LORI WHEN SHE TOOK BRITT TO THE AIRPORT I FOUND THE BEST BRA! I DECIDED ON A WHIM THAT SINCE WE WERE IN TUCSON I'D TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOME SHOPPING. MY TWO BRAS ARE 100 YEARS OLD OR SO AND I WAS GETTING DESPERATE. LOR AND I HAVE A HORRIBLE TIME FINDING A DESCENT BRA THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE TORPEDO THING GOING ON. SO WE WENT INTO MACY'S (NEVER SHOPPED IN A MACY'S) AND THEY HAD ALL THEIR "MINIMIZERS" IN ONE PLACE NO MATTER THE BRAND. EVEN THOUGH I HAD REMOVED THE TAGS ON MY OLD BRAS, I'M PRETTY SURE THEY ARE "PLAYTEX." SO I ASK FOR A PLAYTEX MINIMIZER. SHE GAVE ME A DISGUSTED LOOK AND SAID THEY DON'T CARRY PLAYTEX. BUT SHE DIRECTED ME TO THE ONE BRA THAT SHE SAID, "YOU'LL NEVER WEAR ANOTHER BRA ONCE YOU'VE HAD ONE OF THESE." I TRIED IT ON AND SURE ENOUGH IT WAS REALLY NICE. NEVER DO I GET A FIT LIKE THAT WITH A BRA, ESPECIALLY ON THE FIRST TRY. SO I LOOK AT THE PRICE TAG AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT SAYS $68.00, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE MY GLASSES ON AND THOUGHT I'D READ IT WRONG. I HADN'T! SO I GO BACK AND ASK TO LOOK AT A COUPLE MORE. I THINK SHE WAS DISAPPOINTED. BUT I FOUND TWO OTHERS THAT LOOKED SIMILAR FOR HALF THE MONEY. THE "BALI" FIT BEAUTIFULLY, EVEN BETTER THAN THE EXPENSIVE ONE. PLUS IT'S SOFTER AND MORE COMFORTABLE. $34.00! IF I'D BOUGHT TWO, I COULD HAVE GOTTEN THEM BOTH FOR ABOUT FIFTY BUCKS. I TRIED TO CONVINCE LORI SHE NEEDS A BRA BUT ENDED UP JUST GETTING ONE. I'M AFRAID IF I HAVE A COUPLE OF REALLY COMFY 36 D'S, I WON'T WANT TO LOSE ANY MORE WEIGHT. NOW I KNOW YOU DON'T EVEN WEAR A BRA ANY MORE NIK, BUT LIVA THIS IS A "BALI PASSION FOR COMFORT" MINIMIZER IF YOU NEED A BRA.
