August 25 Eeeekkkkk..... So... we are indeed alive. We are in a mad dash to get as much of our renovations done as we can before the house is appraised and the time is closing in. So, that and the fact I have a HUGE pincushion order to tackle during this same time is not my idea of fun! I feel like I've been pushed to the edge of sanity and I don't enjoy it. We haven't updated weights for a few weeks and that isn't out of laziness or humiliation... lol Honestly! One of Brandon's work boots was ever so lovingly placed on the scale and when I went to weigh in... the scale didn't want to work at first... I got a big old "E" (hopefully not for enormous) and then it registered 2 different... and I mean VASTLY different weights... LOL 204.6 and 256.9 LOL So, I need to get a new scale and with all of the chaos around the house I honestly keep forgetting. SO, we will update properly once that is remedied... :( Kinda scared to see what it is after so long. We have under a month of all this stress left (pincushions & house) and I can't wait for our life to feel a little more normal. BUT it won't take THAT long for me to get my butt back on here and to be PRESENT! Especially with the new season coming up... I am SOOOO excited!! I can't wait to watch while I'm on the treadmill... the miles just flies by that way!! I missed everyone and am sorry I've been such a deadbeat! :( ~joi~ August 02 Wow! Wow! WOW!!!! WOW!!! I was in SHOCK when I stepped on the scale this morning! 225.2
I had to weigh myself several times to believe, moved the scale to
different places on the floor, checked under the scale to make sure
nothing was under it... That was my weight!! My lowest yet and that is
a 5 lb loss this week!!! HOLY COW!! I knew it was going to be low,
but that TOTALLY exceeded my expectations!!  WOWEE!!!!So, I am thinking this little trial of an "altered" Phase 1 of South Beach was the kick int he pants my metabolism needed!!! I added fruit which is not the normal menu. Basically, I am just eating whole foods... I haven't had any bread or anything this week, but will obviously be adding the right stuff back in! I am on Cloud 9 right now!! :D I am 5 lbs away from my all time low... I am so excited to see the scale go below and it LIBERATING to see the scale FINALLY move int he right direction!!! THANK GOD!!! Can you tell I'm STOKED?!?!? lol Woo Hoo!!!!!! ~joi~ July 31 back in this for real... and it's showing! :D 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!!! ~joi~ July 19 I SUCK!! 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! xoxo~ ~joi~ June 28 This will take some getting used to OOPS!!! So, obviously weighing in is NOT the first thing on my mind on Saturday mornings!! lol SOOO... we will make it official next week. I didn't even think about the scale until I sat at the computer and saw my spaces icon on my favorites... OOPS! Not normal for me... but I'm also not feeling super "with-it" today... lol I swear I could sleep ALL DAY! Going to take it easy today and head to bed early. If you know me, you know my head doesn't usually hit the pillow until around 2 am or so... So, I may even be in bed before Brandon gets home from work at 11:30 tonight... we'll see though! ~joi~

Invite as friend
tick...tick..tick...last chance workout today! What did you lose
between 8/2 - 8/13(tomorrow)? I've had a crazy busy week, but I think
I've lost some! If you want to
scratch the last one and start another competition today, I think
Betsy(gotta sandwich) and Amanda (Amanda&Ginny) want to play too!
Jen
I'm so lazy!
