AWESOME!!!
Friday night I hung out with the usual crew...Philip, Nikki, Neal, Jaclyn, Johnathan. We plotted last minute barn party details, had a low key dinner at Wendy's (love the cheap), and went to Wal-Mart to collect party supplies.
Saturday Wes and I were lazy most of the day. We almost napped so long we were late to the party. Which, since I had the playlist on my ipod, that would have been BAD. But, we made it, and had a fantastic time. There were a good many people from work there, and even some friends from other places. We ended up getting home about 3 AM, but it was worth it! And the best part of this is that there are enough leftover beverages to have a Part II this Saturday...so YAY!!!
Sunday (after staying in bed til about noon), Wes and I got up and went to the Rave to see the newest Pirates of the Caribbean movie. It was good...not great (like I think the others are), but I would definitely recommend it. Afterwards we got froyo at Yogurt Twist and then took the scenic route home. This is probably the most fun part about having a reliable GPS. The ability to get off the beaten path and discover new places within the same old ones we always visit. It was so nice. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I love a Sunday afternoon drive!
Then, the icing on the cake was that John Rich won Celebrity Apprentice. Wes and I have watched this season religously. Him and Lil John were our favorites from the beginning, so that was exciting.
Seriously, it was a great weekend.

I've lost....
another pound since Wednesday...down to 225.2! YAY ME!!!
My saving grace this week has been Rt. 44 Diet Cokes w/vanilla flavor added (only 80 calories for that size!), since I've been sick and can't smoke. Which, has been a blessing, because I'm able to see that I'm obviously still blessed in the fact that I can quit cold turkey without a problem. YAY!

Weigh-In Wednesday
First of all, let me say HELLO! to all my readers out there...I know I've been sketch lately :/ and hope to make amends!
Also, I know I haven't followed my blog schedule in a while. Partly because I got caught up in the photo challenge(which I do intend to finish...I can't stand leaving things undone), and partly because I kinda fell off the weight loss wagon.
BUT, I have good news to report...I'm back on the wagon when it comes to losing weight, and this time I'm more determined than EVER!!!
SOOOO...here's my weekly progress report:
Last Wednesday (May 11, 2011): 234.9 lbs
Today (May 18, 2011): 226.4 lbs
Which means, in the past week I lost 8 1/2 lbs!!!
Why so successful this week you may be asking? Well, I'll be completely honest...after trying every "healthy" diet in the book, I've resorted in eating less than 1000 calories a day, drinking TONS of coffee, and smoking (which, before you go get on my case about, I KNOW I can quit it, while I obviously can't quit food-- which is just as bad for my health).
So, here's my plan:
May: Eat less than 1000 calories a day, go to the gym (only if I have energy, and then burning a limit of 200 calories per visit), supplement the plan with as much black coffee or cigarettes as necessary to curb cravings.
June: Eat less than 1100 calories a day, go to the gym a minimum of 3 x week (200 cal. per visit limit), supplement with as much black coffee as needed (switch to decaf), take diet pills, and cut back to 4 cigarettes or less per day. *If I make it to the gym 3 x, I can have one "free day" of 2000 calories.
July: Eat less than 1200 calories a day, go to the gym a minimum of 4 x week (300 cal. per visit limit), decaf black coffee, diet pills, and 3 cigarettes or less per day. *If I make it to the gym 4 x, I can have one "free day" of 2000 calories and one free treat or desert during the week.
After school starts back in August, I will re-evaluate my needs based on my progress.
Wish me luck!!!
