Day Sixty Five....

Okay - is Fat --r Paula??? We're all confused here.

Too bad Nicky has Mary to rat on her! Glad no one is here watching me 24/7!

I did my Cto5k yesterday. I sure hope this running stuff is the key to weight loss. I've been faithful to the letter on this. (not so much on the eating though....)

Gotta run to work - just wanted to check in.

Day Sixty Three...

I'm back! We spent an extra night - couldn't resist.

I did really good with my running - Becky came with me and kept me going.

Even though I ate some junk - I didn't over do it and with all the walking and the 2 running workouts - I actually lost a pound!

Mary - why don't you exchange the dress for the next size up. It's better you feel comfortable all night! If it's too snug you'll be self-conscious. The carb diet may work - but from what I've read it's mainly water loss the first week.

Don't forget all - Mike thinks that the Bachelorette party has been changed to be at his house on Friday in case you talk to him.

I'll write more tomorrow. I'm still unpacking & doing laundry.

And did I Mention Mike's mom is driving me crazy over this party????

Day Fifty Eight....

I won't be checking in again till Monday night. Heading to the lake today.

Try not to stuff yourselves (me included!)

Get in some exercise wherever you.

(Yesterday I fit into a pair of pants I haven't worn in a year.) Wow...I'm fitting into my old fat clothes now.) It's a start.

Day Fifty Seven....

Is it day 57 or m I confused? Whatever - it's coming up fast!

Looks like we're not walking this week. We're headed down to the lake for the weekend - kids are all coming (except Yellie & Dan) so I'm happy to get them all there plus Mike!

I did my Cto5K this morning and polished off the 3 minute runs again. I was so worried about them. But Monday starts the 5 minutes runs. Now those I'm afraid of! I'll be doing the first one at the lake and am making Becky come with me. She'll probably leave me in her dust....

I'm officially down 5 pounds now. Fifty seven days to make 5 pounds. Woopdeedoo....

But I can tell the exercise is working and I'm feeling optimistic about all this. Maybe I WILL wear a bathing suit at Keuka on the 4th. Speaking of which...Aunt June tried to make me feel really guilty about not coming to the wedding thing that weekend..... Did she talk to any of you guys?

How are the rest of the troops doing? Out there hitting the pavement? Fat melting right off of your puckery little thighs? Anyone else get their girdle thingy that Mary & Nicky are raving about? (Susie...whose car are you taking your off in this time?)

Okay guys - less than 3 weeks! Let's ROLL! (and Nicky....you made a mispell when you said 15 POUNDS by the wedding right?)

Day Fifty Five......

I started week 3 of Cto5k. And I did it! Granted the longest runs were only 3 minutes long - but I still did it with out stopping and even ran an extra segment at the end.

The eating had been a little better too. I think doing the exercise make you more aware of your body & what you put into it. Not that I'm perfect! But at least I feel I may be turning a corner here.

Susie - you'll be happy to see I logged your correct weight tee hee!

Paula - wish I knew you had all that fruit salad left over - I'd have traded you for the gigantic load of past I brought home! At least your left overs are healthier than mine!

I had my southwest chicken salad today and it was yummy. LOVE those things!

Nicky - hope you're feeling better. Ea what the Dr. said and take it easy on the exercise. You DON'T want to be sick for the big day! Which incidentally is coming up really quick!

Let me know about walking this week girls. I'm headed to the cottage either Thursday night or Friday. The kids will join me Friday night (except Yellie & Dan). Mike said he's coming but I'm not holding my breath. He's a workaholic and there's nothing I can do about it.

And yes...in response to the last few comments about dieting being so hard - DITTO! It sucks!

Day Fifty Four.....

Skipped a few days....sorry! Busy with Yellie being home & the shower. No one here had any blowouts Mary! Did everyone in your house or just you?

I'm on a mission too. Three weeks to go and counting. I'm wearing the dress i wore to Cathy's wedding. Everyone has seen it but I haven't worn it since then and I like it so that's what I'm wearing. And it fits. And will even if I lose some more weight. I'm really trying to get those arms in shape. The muscles are there now -it's the fat covering them that sucks!

I did my Cto5k yesterday. Haven't skipped any days since I started. Next week starts the 3 minute runs. I'm enjoying this more than I thought. I feel so much like I've accomplished something.

Nicky - did you enjoy the shower? We all had fun!

Okay - off to church.

Are we walking this week? Turning Point? let me know!

Day Fifty....

So Mary & I didn't do the park after all. Busy day. Hope you get better before the shower Nicky!!

Susie - the +15 was just to see if you were paying attention!

I did my Cto5k today. Yay for me!

I want to devour everything in sight though. Good thing I can't find Mike's stash!

I think we're planning on doing the park this weekend. We can discuss it at the shower Friday. I'm teaching till 3:20 but will get to the shelter by 4:30.

Fun Fun Fun!!!
