February!

So here we are in February, still on a diet, still slowly losing weight thanks to those carbs that just scream my name when I look at them. I think in the last week I might have gained a pound or two, and if I had been keeping up with my workouts maybe I would feel better about it, but no, I know that these pounds are from eating and not following the diet close enough. Its time to buckle down for sure. Monday before getting into the shower I thought I would weigh myself. I got on the scale and I just could not believe what I saw...130 pounds! That was 5 pounds more than my doctor told me I should lose. I was only ten pounds away from my goal! I was doing a victory dance and screamed for my sister so I could tell her the good news. As I was in the shower and still victory dancing, I wondered if the bath mat underneath the scale made a difference. After getting out of the shower I weighed myself again. Yes the bath mat made a difference. It made an 8 pound difference. Not wanting to depress myself, I just thought "I am only 3 pounds away from what I was at the end of the summer (the weight that I almost always am) and about 13 to 18 away from my goal. I have lost pretty much 20 pounds and I need to feel good about that. So this week, before I go out both Friday and Saturday for birthdays, I need to strictly follow this diet and I need to for the next month or so to shed this weight. One thing I am very proud of, is doing this. I have never committed even this much to any diet or workout plan. I have gotten a little off course in the last couple days, but I am very proud of myself for doing something about the weight gain before it's too late.


Grace is now off of the diet and has headed up to Blue Mountain for her annual women's weekend. Grace lost most of the holiday weight and just has the last bit to go, but what I have learned is sometimes you need a day or two off from the diet, just to feel normal for a bit.

As for the youtube video, I realized shortly after posting the last blog that I forgot to add a link to the video. We will have some more up next week. The actual link for the video  is :
