Missing box!

I've somehow misplaced the box containing my skinny tops. I put on a new pair of capris tonight that MIL gave me. Kind of bittersweet. They're really cute, but already too big. Who knew?

I really need to get orgainzed and dejunk.

As it is, at this very moment, almost midnight, I'm playing muffin catch up. I went in for a fasting lab this morning that turned out to be a misunderstanding with the doc as to when I was supposed to go in. I ofcourse had no appetite at that point and popped on over the the grocery store. When I finally did eat, it was about noon. BAD! Definately not good for the metabolism. I only went from bad to worse though. DD had a school thing tonight and I had a hair appointment right before it. I didn't end up eating dinner until after 9. I had planned to munch a muffin and sip on Crystal Light during, but there were signs up prohibiting food/drink. So much for that idea.

Tomorrow's a new day. :)

3 more down!

I'm at a total of 43.8 now. I'm feeling really crappy though. I think I nailed it down to the cause though- magnesium. I started it the day after I went full strength on the metformin. Tomorrow morning, I'm skipping the magnesium.

Getting out the skinny clothes!

I was a little shocked this morning. Out of curiousity, I pulled out a couple pairs of my "skinny" pants. Oh, MY. They fit. The jeans I wore on my 30th birthday (when I had lost a lot of weight) not only fit, but are a little on the baggy side. And again, there was much rejoicing. :D

Do the happy dance with me!

I lost track of what week I'm on, but I lost 5.8 pounds this week! That makes a total of 40.

Off to weigh in...

Wish me luck. I'm off. Sick kid in tow...

IV Caffeine?

Ok, so seriously, I'm dragging. I've had sick kids and started working part time. Uhm, yeah...oh and throw into that doing something nasty to my back and I've really hit the trifecta. I tried to get my back fixed yesterday and ended up walking out after waiting an hour. The oh so thoughtful "assistant" didn't think it was any big deal. She could have at least faked it...not to mention, I was nice, instead of the grump I wanted to be.

If the scale is accurate (in comparison with the Smart for Life office), I'm cruising on the loss this week. As of last night, it was about 4 and a half pounds- that's with cheating on Friday for my birthday dinner! As of tomorrow, I'll be full dose on the metformin as well. I hate to say it, but I really think it's helping. Now, hopefully, it will kick in for what I'm actually taking it for.

Better run...need to get me and the kiddos ready for work.

Brief check in...

I had an inservice this morning. Not so bright and way too early (seriously, it was dark when I got up). It ended with swimming 500. Thankfully, after swimming part, my boss pulled me out. She knows about Smart for Life...smart move on my part. ;) I'm tellin' ya, I'm the total geezer lifeguard and it's the perfect mom job.

I did in fact lose this week. Not a huge loss. It was either .4 or .6. I'm actually really ok with that. I didn't make good food choices and was just hoping not to have gained. Last night, we went out for my birthday so again, I was non-compliant. I'm getting back on track.

I started metformin...think I already mentioned that. I'm up to 2 pills/day now and doing rather well. I totally expected it not to go as smoothly- my doc told me it's typically hard on the stomach. I'm really excited about what it might do for me. If you're wondering, no, it's not to help with the weightloss and I'm not insulin resistant. It's to treat PCOS, which probably contributes to my weight issues.

At any rate...I need to go work on a project. My client has been more than patient and I'd like to hand it over on Monday. :)
