Woohoo HUGE SV today! Lost 2.9 this morning! I decided to change my weigh in days back to Sunday because I know I have a couple of weekends coming up that might derail me, but knowing that I have weigh in coming up usually keeps me OP. This 2.9 loss brings me back into the 160s at 168.9!! yay me!
For Lent, I decided that I would give up cereal, and I am happy to report that I have not had even ONE bowl yet! I am pretty sure this has a lot to do with my loss this week because there were some days where I would use 20 points just on cereal (I know, not healthy, but I LOVE it!) So, my alternatives have been egg and cheese on an english muffin with olive oil, grits, and waffles. All with some sort of fruit on the side.
March Goals
3.9 out of 5 pounds
0.5 out of 8 inches
52 out of 150 APs

Weigh in today...
Lost 1 pound! Bringing my grand total to 13.6! Since starting P+ (which I love) I have noticed a weird trend in my weight loss. I will have a week that I maintain or lose like .3 then I have a really good week from 1-2.7 pounds. Its really weird, but as long as the scale is going in the right direction I am a happy camper. And... I LOVE my fruit!
So, for Lent, because I am realizing it is a SERIOUS problem food for me and giving it up for 40 days will probably help me immensely... I'm ditching CEREAL!! I love cereal... I could and would eat it for every meal if it was acceptable. So, this is going to force me to get creative with my breakfasts for the next few weeks, but I am also sure that it will have a great impact on my weight loss too.
In other news, I had my carpets cleaned today about 4.5 hours ago and they are still pretty wet. I feel SO bad for my puppies because they have been in their crates for most of that time. I don't want to let them out until the carpets are nice and dry. Hopefully, they will be soon, so I can let them run around a bit. Its a good thing I am on a second shift schedule because as soon as they are dry I need to vaccuum them to get all the dog hair up.
March Results so far:
1 out of 5 pounds lost... 4 to go!
0 out of 8 inches lost (those will be measured on Thursday).
47 out of 150 APs!

Busy week ahead!
I have a SUPER busy week ahead of me! Today we're having our carpets cleaned (YAY!). Then I have an MK appointment plus other work to do. Then I have like 6 more MK appointments throughout the week, a huge project to finish to wrap up the course I am in right now, and lots of other errands a stuff. This is good because when I am busy I keep myself out of the house, which means out of the kitchen!
I love that my career has not been affected by the current recession... I just saw a friends post on FB and it said "gas prices up, gold prices soaring, and stock market down... here we go!" But, for me, I have one of the busiest weeks I have had lately. It is chock full of appointments. Never do you hear women say, "well I'll only wash my face on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday or I can only wear mascara on Saturday." Mary Kay is the best opportunity I have ever had, and I love sharing it with other women who are struggling right now. My job can NEVER be taken away from me and I can make as much as I am willing to work for!
Anyways... weigh in tomorrow! I had peeked at the scale the other day and I was down about 1.5! Hopefully I'll see the same tomorrow. After maintaining last week I would LOVE a big loss!
March Goals update:
0 out of 5 pounds (weigh in on Tuesday)
0 out of 8 inches (measured every 10 days)
41 out of 150 AP (maybe this goal should be upped!)

February Results
Well.... for February I am down 1.8 pounds, BUT 7 more INCHES! I am so glad that I am tracking inches because when I don't see a change in the scale, I am still seeing a change there. It is great to know that even though I may not be losing a high number of pounds each month that I am still burning away the inches.... And fitting into SMALLER clothes!
Goals for March: Lose 5 pounds, 8 inches, and earn 150 APs!
Accomplishing that should would be an amazing month! Bring on March!
Progress as of yesterday (reminder I do inches every 10 days, and weigh in on Tuesday):
0 out of 5 pounds
0 out of 8 inches
2 out of 150 APs
