Day 18

Today’s weight… 178!!! Another pound, yeah! It shouldn’t be as busy at work today so I may be able to eat lunch, hopefully. What a stressful day yesterday was, more than I’m going to share with you, I don’t want to bore you, but I’m sure that’s what assisted with my weight loss. Today I am not going to forget my tea, I was lost without it yesterday. It’s Blooming Flower’s made from Jasmine and other flowers, if you haven’t seen it I suggest you find it and try it if you are a tea drinker. It’s a hard little ball of herbs and when you put it in hot water it re-hydrates and blooms and it’s real pretty to see and to watch.
I quit running while I’m on the injections but I’m still walking. I feel so much better while I’m on the injections too; I need to find out if there is a way I can get 1 or 2 shots a week just to stay pain free not necessarily to lose weight but if that’s a bonus I’ll take it too.
Ok, I lied, work wasn’t easy today. I didn’t get home until after nine. I did however get to take a break at noon and eat as much of my lunch of chicken and cabbage as I could before having to get back to work. I think I’m to old for this kind of work. Dinner is the rest of my lunch and I'm going to eat that in bed just before I fall to sleep.

Day 17

***179*** this morning, Yeah!!! I beat that 180 mark; I hope I can stay under it from now on.
Monica, the nurse at the Spa, paid me the best compliment on my weight yesterday. She said that I am really looking good and that I have a figure. I’ve never had a figure and I’m thinking like curves, like my waist is smaller than my hips and I’m not straight up and down. That made me feel so good.
I worked a 12 hour shift today at Entrada, oh my gosh, I’m so tired and my back hurts and I didn’t get to eat any lunch and I just want to scream and then cry. All I can say is I better have lost weight today or I’ll scream louder than you want to hear.
The family is out back having a weiner roast and I’m inside having … you guessed it broccoli and tilapia but and apple for dessert not strawberries. I hear my bed calling my name.

Day 16

This morning I weighed 180, surprise, surprise. Today was my first day of my new hours at work, 8-5, we ended up staying until 6. What a long day. I did get half an hour for lunch though and ate chicken and broccoli and melba toast. I was tired when I got home so I quickly fixed lettuce and tilapia for dinner and had some strawberries and now I'm going to bed.

Day 15

The scale said I weighed 181 today, I was shocked especially after have pancakes yesterday.
I fixed pancakes again for breakfast this morning, we left right after to go back to St. George. We stopped in Ogden to see my mom and step dad and they had lunch ready for us. Tuna casserole but I had tilapia and cabbage. We stopped again in SLC to see my son Zach for a few minutes,
he gave me a string of pearls and earings for my birthday. He’s so thoughtful, I love him. Then we didn’t stop again until we got to my daughter’s in St. George and she had fixed goulash, one of my favorites, for dinner so I had to have a bowl of it. When we got home I had a plate of chicken and broccoli, I’m sure I’ll pay for it tomorrow. I did drink a ton of water all the way home though so that should help.

Day 14

I didn’t get on the scales this morning. After I came back from running I had to go to the store to get some pancake mix for breakfast and by the time I got breakfast cleaned up and out of the way I felt it was too late to weigh. Besides that I snitched some pancakes and eggs and I felt guilty about it.
Today we went to visit Terry’s aunts and uncles that still live in Oakley. There are 2 uncles and 2 aunts but we didn’t get to see one of the aunts, she wasn’t feeling up to having company. For a late lunch we went back to the pizza place and Terry and I both got salads this time. He said mine looked really good to him yesterday, but he got more stuff on his and then put Ranch dressing all over it. I stuck with my lettuce and chicken.
For dinner I had tilapia and cabbage again.

Day 13

I still weighed 181 this morning. I went running early, there was cloud coverage so it was pretty warm. I love Oakley. When I got back I fixed a cup of tea and started cleaning house. I like to clean at Bub’s, he’s a bachelor and it’s always a challenge to see if I can get everything clean and looking like new again. I asked my girls to help and they roll their eyes like it’s going to kill them to touch a rag. I left everyone to fend breakfast for themselves this morning and for lunch we went to a new pizza joint up town. I got a chicken salad with lettuce and chicken on it. They didn’t have lemon juice so I got raspberry vinaigrette, it wasn’t too bad.
For dinner I had tilapia and cabbage

Day 12

Well we made it. We got to Burley about 1:30 pm this afternoon and stopped at the grocery store to get some stuff for Bub and I got 4 ounces of turkey breast and a tomato for lunch. I weighed 181 at Diane's house this morning, I probably gained from drinking my tea spiked water for 4 hours while driving up there, it may have sugar in it. I did really good on the diet there too. She fixed eggs and potato's for breakfast and all I had was some tea. I did get a Dr. Pepper though when we left Bountiful so I would stay awake while driving and I got another one in Snowville. I had Chicken and Brocolli for dinner later here at Bub's before we went to the hot tubs for a soak. Terry took pictures but forgot to save them so I can't post any today, maybe we'll go again tonight and I'll take the pictures.
