Okay... So i decided to try something because it feels like nothing I do is getting me out of this plateau... So.. Since I had success with South Beach in the past, I've decided to try doing phase 1 for two weeks to see if that will help curb cravings and get me back in control!  GUESS WHAT!!!  It is working! :D  I won't tell you my weight this morning, but I am SOOO looking forward to weigh in on Saturday!!! :D  I was up to 234.5 Sunday morning after Saturday being our sane day... LOL  I know it wasn't a true weight but... COME ON!!!  lol  I'm going to hold off on the sane day this week... just to get ahead a bit if i can... its a risk, but it feels like it takes me all week to reclaim ground after sane days.  Anyone else have that problem??

We are taking a trip to Michigan's Adventure on the 13th... and I have a mini-personal-HOPE-goal to break 220 by then... It is a little much, but I figured I have been at this same weight range for so long my body might just be tricked enough to think i'm starting from scratch again... lol  We shall see!!  :)   Something about going to the water park for all the world to see me chase my kids around in a bathing suit TERRIFIES me... So, if I can hit a milestone  HUGE MILESTONE then I think I can swallow it down a little better! 

I haven't been below 220 since I got above it in my teens!!  this is HUGE for me and I can't wait!!! ;)  I was sooo close and hovered at 220 for SEVERAL months without ever seeing a teen on the scale... *sniff* and then came baby #2... so It's time to reclaim where I was 3 1/2 years ago!! I am SOOOO close!!!

Man, I don't know why I haven't been making this a priority... :(   That makes me sad...

Well, my body is paying the price... I had a 1.2 lb gain this week, I'm getting so sick of this bouncing back and forth between the same few pounds....   Brandon is hovering too.  I guess it is better than a REAL gain... but come on!!  We are eating well and know that we need to work on exercise... but I think we have gotten to lax with all the work on our house, the summer events and just life in general... we are RE-FOCUSING!!  We are starting the workout plan a new and going at this like it is the first day again... Well... tomorrow!  LOL  Today is our sane day...lol  :)  Hahaha

Hope all is well and the summer is treating everyone well!
