Tomorrow I take my mom to a doctor's appt. in Tulsa. I'm glad it is tomorrow and not on Thurs. We are supposed to get snow and ice on Thurs.
I need to call the office in Paris, Tx to make an appt. for my fill. I am kind of anxious about it.

I made a decision about the scale yesterday. I am going to get on once and record the weight from that time. I was getting into the awful cycle of weighing several times in a row just to "make sure" I had the right weight. No more. It was making me crazy.

Happy Thanksgiving 2006 11-23-06

The scale read 332.2 this morning. That is a total loss of 55.8 pounds. The past week has been so unpredictable with my weight. I know I have to persevere through times like this. I know I am eating right and I know I am exercising 5 days a week. So my body is obviously in charge and will start to lose again when it is ready.

Last week was crazy. My last post was on Wed. I lost a little over a pound by Fri. only to gain 2.2 pounds on Sat. Then when I weighed yesterday I had a 6.2 pound loss. This morning I was up 4.2 from that. I don't know what is causing the big ups and downs. My eating is the same with the exception of having a high fiber cereal in the morning instead of Hank's. Anyway, I hope this week settles down and I start back on my steady losing. I weighed 335.2 this morning. I have set my next goal as 299 pounds. I have not weighed less than 300 in years.
I am cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year for my mom and brother. I feel pretty confident in my ability to stay on track through the holiday.
Only two days of school this week!!!!!!!
The treadmill was great this morning. I broke 600 calories burned.

On a positive note, I have increased my treadmill time to 30 minutes and today I put on the second level of incline. I got my friend's eliptical moved in and my daughter loves working out on it. I prefer the treadmill.

My Dad left this morning. He will be out for a couple of weeks. He's a truck driver and drives between CA and NC. I had a cup of coffee with him this morning. I have not had coffee until now. I really like it but in the mornings I just drink water because I walk on the treadmill and coffee doesn't sound good.
My daughter and I are going to see my Mom today. I have a bunch of food I am taking her. Since my brother lives there he eats a lot and these are things he will like.
Well, the scale said 338 this morning. That makes my total loss an even 50 pounds so far. Last night I cooked meatloaf, mashed potatoes and steamed mixed vegetables. The recipes came from the Light and Tasty magazine. I really love that magazine. The dishes were so good. I was glad to see that I couldn't eat the portions that I measured out for myself. Since I haven't had a fill yet I am a little nervous that my portions are going to get bigger without me being cognizant of it. I am trying very hard to feel the soft signs of satiety. Last night I had a subtle feeling of fullness and then my nose started to run just slightly. Anyway, I just stopped. That is hard for me. I am a lifetime member of the clean plate club and unfortunately have raised my daughter that way to this point. She left some of hers also and I had to stop myself from making her finish it. It was a moment of realization that she needs to be the one to decide when she is full not me. That is part of the reason I am where I am and why she is already struggling.

The scale read 338.4 which is 5 pounds less than last Friday! I can't wait to get below 300. If I maintain the rate of loss that I've had it should happen in January. I realize it may take longer if my loss starts to slow down. But it is definitely a goal!
