Could Not Last Forever!! I WISH!!!!

I think I have let myself get comfortable this week!
This has happened before.. I start to see HUGE losses..Pound after pound..Well not like this crazy nonsense..But losing weight..Then I get comfortable because I think in the back of my mind that it will just keep happening..That the pounds will just keep dropping off..

This week has been completely WEIRD..Every time I would step on the scale I would be down another pound!! I mean I am grateful..My clothes are all HUGE!! Shorts that fit just weeks ago are now baggy,Most of my jeans no longer fit..90% of my shirts are now TENTS..I have lost another inch in my thighs since the last time I did measurements. Just weeks ago!!! BLOWS ME AWAY!!! So if this is happening for no apparent reason why would it stop?? Well it has and it has inched up..Not by much and I won't know the final number till tomorrow..I could be a pound down,over or right where I was last week.
I also know TOM should be here. It seems like it has been a while.So it may be that I am adding a bit of water weight..Tomorrow will tell the tale!

I have a lot of clothes now that are too big and we are getting ready to have a garage sell..I told Jack that I really don't want to part with them because then when I lose all my weight I won't have the fun of trying all those clothes back on. He agreed it was not worth selling at a garage sell and to hold onto them. I was also thinking that most of then are expensive,TORID,Lane Bryant Clothing..Most New or close to it..So Maybe I will have some giveaways when I reach goal?? Would that be a good idea? I have TORID jeans,tops,shorts and LaneBryant Jeans..Sorry not a big fan of THEIR clothing..It just fits we wrong..I am kinda petite..But over weight. If that makes sense and their clothes are always way to long and just don't fit right.

I am going to have lots of shopping to do.. When I put on an old pair of jeans..It is AMAZING how my body has changed!

I just can't believe it!!!!

I stepped on the scale again this morning and can you believe I am down ANOTHER POUND!!!! 175.5 I don't weigh till Monday..So it could be even more by then!
I just DO NOT want to jinx anything..I don't believe in any of that..But you know what I mean!
It took me so long to get out of the 80's 13 WEEKS to be exact!!
So what is different for the 70's..My hubby Jack has said maybe my metabolism has changed? I know something has changed because I feel different.. I have a TON more energy..
For the first time in YEARS I have more energy then I have EVER had..I mean don't get me wrong I am NOT miraculously healed! I wish to god I was! But for the last I would say month or a little more my fatigue has been so much better!
For the last year I have had the worst fatigue..We moved in to our current house a year ago and I feel as if we moved in and I sat down on the sofa and never moved and I am being dead serious!!!
The last month I have had very weird things that have been happening..I had that very odd bout with insomnia to where I could not sleep for days..I was pacing the house and cleaning like a manic and from then on I had it here and there but the days in between I actually felt semi-normal..Like I could exercise,clean my house,take a shower,cook..Just do things that everyone else does and not want to keel over after..

The only person that actually knows my life and how badly I deal with fatigue and MS symptoms is my husband..If we have an outing I have to plan ahead for those..It is a process..It is a sort of behind the scenes if you will..No one can just call and say come over and have dinner and I jump in the shower and be right over..My life does not work that way..For days leading up to an event,outing,dinner, family function etc I have to do NOTHING..and I do mean NOTHING!!!!!!! SLEEP...Two days before I take a shower and wash my hair. I cant do that the day before because that would be too much. So I do that TWO days before..Then the day before I take a shower and my hair does not have to be done. So the energy was saved there. Come the day of said event I do NOTHING until a few hours before we have to leave and then I will put on my makeup..Remember hair was done a few days ago..I then rest for another hour after the makeup is done and then I get dressed..I then hopefully have an hour to get done whatever I have to do..Gather my belonging,purse,jacket,shoes,go to the bathroom,primp..Anything I am taking with me..WE ARE ALWAYS LATE!!!!!

So to have this new found ENERGY is absolutely AMAZING!!! How long it will last?? I have no idea..I am just loving every minute of it! It does not last all day..It comes in spurts..Like right now. I have been on the sofa since I got up..So today is an ehhh day.. Yesterday was a good day..I am hoping for a good day tomorrow..We are having a walk through in our house.. So I would like to tidy up a bit!

So is it possible that my new energy is the reason for my sudden weight loss???
No matter what the reasons may be I am so very grateful and I just hope it keeps moving downward!
I have also wondered still if this is from the REALLY RAW HONEY..According to their website others have had similar side effects..So maybe the energy and even the fact that I am not having my nightly allergies is from the honey..?
Just when I am about to get the EAT CLEAN book and really start following the exact program and not just what I read on the Internet and the OXYGEN mag..I mean what do I do?? Do I continue with the honey? I mean what else could it be? There is nothing else that I have changed!

Weigh In...April Goals

I have not really been doing anything different but boy am I grateful!!!

Today's weigh in....176.5 It also said 176 but I will just go with the first one..
I have another scale and it too said BOTH so who the heck knows!!!!
I am happy regardless..That is another 2.5 Pounds lost this week!!!!

Thanks for all the comments on my progress photos..It really means a lot to me..
The more I look the more changes that I see..The one change that I am really happy about is that I don't have that bra fat..! I am wearing the same bra in both pictures..I also noticed that my butt changed quite a bit...Hahah..Plus the shorts got quite bigger. Many changes that I notice as Iook at the pictures..One of the things that I had noticed on my own long ago was that my stomach had shrunk up top under my breast that is also apparent in the photos..Plus my boobs really deflated..I was shocked about that when I did my measurements!! But wow you can really see that in my pictures!!!
So I will probably wait another 2-3 months and then I will take more pictures..Doing it every month for me just is not enough..I don't want to sit and have to squint hoping to see change..yah know!

APRIL GOALS!!!

Lose 10 Pounds...I can do this!!!!
Treadmill 20 minutes a day 3 days a week..I have a tread climber at 10-20%.It's a workout!
Upper Body with weights/Lower Body. Alternating by day
Continue to eat clean...BUY THE BOOK!!!!

These goals are ones that I can stick too..In the past I make goals that are so far out of my reach or send my MS in to a flare..So I am going with this! If I can handle more I will do more!
Last night I did arms with 3LB weights and I felt great just because I did it! I did 3 sets of 15 and trust me I felt it..I almost bought the 5Lb..I have 5LB..I have every pound..But I wanted the pretty pink weights..Haha..So I bought pretty pink 3Lb weights and trust me they are enough for me right now..

Progress Pictures !!

I had originally planned to do these pictures every month but then I decided that a months time would not show very much..So I actually forgot!!!!

Last night I took these pictures..
For some reason I really was not expecting much of a change I don't know why!
But WoW was I ever wrong!
I notice it the most in my Stomach,Bust,Butt!
The first set was taken December 17,2010..The second set was taken April 2,2011

BEFORE  188                                                                          AFTER   176





Reaching Goal??

♥Feet♥

Thankfully it seems the 80's are gone for good!!!      HALLELUJAH!!!!

When I went that full month without weighing and did not lose a single pound I said from then on that I did not care when weighed! I don't care if I weigh once a day, once a week, or twice a day!

Just as long as I NEVER NEVER go without weighing for a long period of time again..

For me keeping track of what my weight is on an ongoing basis seems to be what works for me..

It is not for everyone..I am not obsessed with it..I left 2 scales in my house for 30 days and did not touch either one of them..So I don't have an issue with scales..I just get on it whenever I have that feeling that I want to know what my weight is!

So I stepped on it yesterday and it read 177.5 That is 1.5 pounds down from Monday..Today it was at 178

So I think as long as I keep doing what I am doing I will get out of the 70's very soon!

I don't think that it will take me as long as the 80's did!!!!

especially since I am going to be adding in some weights which I did not do any of last month!

Just light weights!! Nothing too heavy..I don't want to over-do it then my fatigue gets out of control and I am right back where I started..

For some reason I started thinking about something today and I really far away from this so I don't know why...

What happens when you reach goal??

I mean do you then just keep working towards becoming more toned? My original goal was to get to 140..But I can easily see getting to 140 and not being happy with that and constantly trying to lower that number and it being this vicious cycle! Almost becoming an addiction..I can see that happening!

I am sure that happens for many people..Wanting to see how much they can lose and never being happy with the number on the scale..I have lost 25 pounds but yet when I see myself on Cam I still see this really overweight person and wonder how did I ever weigh over 200 pounds!!!!! Will I still feel this way when I lose another 25 pounds??
