Soooooooooo, I met my first weight goal of 100 lbs lost and then…………..nothing!  I have been stuck at the same weight for close to a month.  It’s frustrating, but I TRY not to let it get to me like it did at first.  I know it’s going to happen, and I also know that the scale will start moving again.

What I DON’T get, and this has happened to me more than once…..I’ll be at a plateau and be staying within my calorie limits and exercising daily and then I’ll have a bad day or two.  By bad day I mean I’ll eat stuff I shouldn’t……..sweets and carbs and not work out and just be bad and that will when my weight loss starts up again.  Just like yesterday.  I went over my calories and didn’t work out – step on the scale the next day – I’ve lost 2 lbs.  Really??  So, now I’m just hoping it’s not a fluke and that I’ll continue down a little ways until I hit my next plateau. Time will tell.

A exciting thing happened at the store yesterday though!  We went to KMart to pick up a few things and I was like “You know!  I want my own hoody!”  I’ve never really had my own hoody.  When I was bigger, I didn’t find one’s that fit.  I couldn’t even wear my husband’s 2XL one’s.  So, we walked by a rack that had some on them and I looked for a 2XL one, and they didn’t have one.  SO, just out of curiosity I picked up an XL one and tried it on.  When I first put it on, I wasn’t sure if it’d be big enough, but I reached down and zipped it up and it fit perfectly!  I was like “Tommie!!  Look!”  He was like “Yeah – fits.”  I was like “This is an XL!  AN EXTRA LARGE!  Not a 1X, and XL!”  So anyway, that was exciting for me.  I can’t comfortably fit in ALL XL’s, but it’s not going to be long until I can.

My birthday ended up being a bad day as I worked.  BUT, after work, I ended up going out with Tommie for dinner and it was nice.  I wanted to try something new.  We ended up going to KC Smoke Burger down on 39th St.  Someone had posted a pic there and it made me want to try it.  I had a Gyro Burger.  It was pretty good.  I didn’t eat the bread and ate half the patty.  It tasted just like a Gyro!  It was 50/50 Beef/Lamb.  Then we walked across the street so I could buy myself a cupcake (which I split with Tommie) and then went to the book store and just looked around.  I had sent Tommie a link to a few things I was wanting for my birthday, since he says I’m hard to shop for (which I am, I suppose).  He picked one thing out on his own and ordered two of the things I wanted, so that was nice.   I also got lots of cards, messages on FB and calls from my family.  It was pretty good.  Next year will be my big 40!!  ((Eek!))

Well – Thanks for keeping updated with me!  This weekend we’re doing another 5K.  Will be the first one where it’ll just be the two of us.  I’m looking forward to it.  We are also signed up for one next month.  This one and the next one we’ll get finishers medal’s. Tommie has talked about displaying them, not sure how we’ll do that yet.

Welp, leave a message and say hi.  Until next time!
