181 - ready to break thru

Yea - checked in at 181 this morning. Yea! Can't wait to break through to the 170's - I haven't seen those in quite some time. This diet goes great during the day but at night it is a bitch. I just want to dive into my old vices and toss all the work.

Mike is actually keeping me on track. Yesterday I said I was craving a dish from Bertucci's and he talked me out of it. I yelled at him "you just want a skinny wife" and he just looked at me and laughed a bit. I get cranky in the evenings.

Its hot here!

I can't belive the change - it was in the 70's last week and just a couple of hours ago my little thermostat said 101.4 - in the sun - but that is HOT!! It may not break for a few days too - so we can only just grin and bear it. The pool is open and nice and cool - so we hang out there until the thunderstorms come thru like they are now!

Diet - 184.0 - good progress as I started at 188.5 last Saturday. I was down to 183.5, but I had a few drinks at the Yankee game on Friday night that weren't on plan.

Husband - he's been better but still drinking. Vicious cycle I guess. Stressfull week = beers in the house. He had quite a few yesterday afternoon and he is now searching the house for his cell phone. Lost it somewhere and I ain't helping find it.

Kids are well - baseball almost wrapped up for Matt and football is getting started for Michael - so they are busy.

Just wanted to check in!

Some fun pics




Here is My Virtual Model Sunday at 188. (I forgot to adjust the hair - so no I haven't chopped it off short.)






And here is my first goal of 165:




Not so much of a difference.


Maybe once I hit 145:




I love playing with pictures!

Banner day 1

Day 1 on MDWL was a good one and I am having a good day 2 so far. I checked in at 185.5 this morning, so I'll take the 2.5 pound loss (even if it is just water.)
Mike was down in the East Haven area on business so he stopped in to pick up some food variations for me, I didn't think of that when I was getting my 1st week of food - so thanks Mike!

We have comp tickets to see "Sex in the City" tonight - my plan is to eat my dinner prior and just stick to water during the show. Wish me luck. That popcorn is going to be tough to resist but I will have my support with me. There is a post party being thrown by Skyy Vodka but we are going to pass - it is a school night you know.

Ready to go!!

I am ready to start my Medical Weight Loss Center program - here we go! Tomorrow AM is the beginning of a new diet - don't you just love Monday's!!
