Well, official weigh in for 2012 is back UP to 241.6 which is exactly a 50 lb loss since I started this goat rodeo in July. While I'm happy with the loss ... of the love of all that is holy - I have been at this weight (this EXACT) weight for quite some time. A little bouncing around but seriously - at THIS weight. Okay, I think I've beaten this topic to death. Moving on.
I have a carpy commute (note, the ladylike spelling of cr@p) so I carpool as much as possible. The schedule of my carpool gal-pal changes each month and January is our 'late' month. Not good. I'm more of a get up and get out of here before I go back to bed gal not a wait around, try to do a few things (ha !) gal. In an ideal world I would get up and go work out and maybe I will next week when it's not my turn to drive. This week looks like loooong (and cold) days so I guess I'll try to get in some walking during the day.
Tried to make Sarah's protein coffee this morning (http://onmyweightohappiness.blogspot.com/). A bit of a disaster as I don't think you're suppose to magic bullet warm liquids. Live and learn. Thanks, Sarah !
Updated measurements from when I joined my gym:
Bust - no change
Under bust - down 1"
Waist - down 1"
Hips - down 1"
Arm, thigh, calf - no change
You know, I know you probably feel disappointed with the maintaining this 50 lbs lost, but seriously darlin, I look at this time of year as a SUCCESS for maintaining. Now is the time though to refocus, which you already have done by getting your cutie patootie to the gym etc. I'm so proud of you! Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to your coffee? I literally pour my cup of coffee and stir in my protein powder. Two brands I know work well is EAS & Body Fortress, actually Body Fortress works better with no clumping, just tried it this morning. EAS clumps a bit so you have to stir often before taking a sip. The Body Fortress I only stirred when I originally added it and didn't have to stir again so I think I will be using body fortress from now on. I don't know about the magic bullet thing, I don't get that high tech with my coffee HA HA
ReplyDeleteI wish I could car pool. No one lives near me that goes my way (that I know of), especially at my hours. I have put up flyers and never heard one peep. If only we had a bus or train and I could read- that would be great. But no- I drive an hour each way alone and guzzling gas.
ReplyDeleteOh, you got a 104 followers because you are AWESOME!
Congrats on the 50 lbs lost. That is so awesome!!! My husband and I carpool since we work less than 3 miles from one another. We rotate weeks on who drives and it saves us about $200 a month in gas. Gotta love saving money and the environment!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if you are following me or not??
ReplyDeleteI have quite a commute as well, and even though there are a couple of people in live in my town and work at my school I hate having to wait on someone else when I am ready to go. I also would be really mad if I was late beacuse of someone else.
Hi friend! Thanks for ur post the other day-you can absolutely use my word-I think it's pretty apropos that we're both using it as band twins! So glad to have "met" you here. Big hugs from Montreal.
ReplyDeletei am stalled, too. and it's SO freaking annoying. but it's my fault. still, frustrating! hang in there girl...
ReplyDeleteand i could never car pool, makes SO much sense but i guess i like my freedom and my own schedule too much!
Hey you maintained over the holidays-that's awesome! You'll kick some serious diet butt this year!
ReplyDeleteIt's the holidays! Once we get all the snacking out of the way, we'll each be back on our way down. :)
