36 pounds & 21 inches!

So today was weigh in day and I am happy to report another 2 pound loss for the week! Also, today was measurement day and I measured in with a loss of 21 inches. They measure 4 areas (boobs, waist, hips & butt!). When they measure you, they give you a ribbon cut in the same amount you have lost. WOW! It's amazing to see what 21"s looks like. I have set my goals high for this week. I really want to try to lose 3-4 pounds this week, just because I want to be in a new number range. Plus I am also feeling a lot better, so that means I can start the elliptical again. My goals are high this week, I can only strive to meet them. With today's weigh in, I am 10 pounds away from the weight I was at when I met Markus. That is exciting!!! I have such a wonderful husband. He is such a great supporter. He only wants me happy, that's it. He does make it known that he loves my extra padding and it's OK if I keep it. I wish society was more like him.
Speaking of the hubby, he starts his new shift in a few days. Graves! GOD grant me patience and understanding for the future!!! It is going to be a rough road ahead (for at least a month or two). Graves mean he's tired & cranky more often. However, I am grateful for this shift because we will actually share 2 days off together, Sunday & Monday. I was certain he would end up with Tue-Wed-Thur off, I kept praying for at least 1 day off together and my prayers were answered with two.
I am watching the news as I type and the weatherman is predicting that it will snow on Tue or Wed. Why can't it be when I am home!!! It didn't snow last year, so I am hoping to see some this week.
Time for me to put this day to bed. Tomorrow my dad and I are going go-cart riding and maybe bowling. I am looking forward to that. Good night my friends.

So, I wanted a blog just like RC and Sunnee so here I am! Most people know I have a Live Journal and I really like that, however my own blog will allow me to make it my "own!". Stay tuned for some pictures!
Today is Friday and man, it's been a week! I have been sick for 1 week now! Thankfully it only stayed in my sinuses. I am feeling better, but I still have the lingering effects of it...mainly a huge headache!
Tomorrow is Saturday and is my weigh in day! Just a re-cap for that: I started Jenny Craig on Sept 10th and I have been doing GREAT! As of today I have lost 34 pounds. Tomorrow I hope to add a few more pounds to that number. It hasn't been easy, it's hard work! WHY? I simply LOVE food. Everything I do evolves around food! My consultant is trying to teach me not to reward myself with food, but I can't seem to be able to get over that! Food is my reward. Going out to dinner with my husband or family/friends is something I look forward to. My goal before summer is another 26 pounds. Then once I reach that goal I will set one more and that's for an additonal 20 more. Then I will look at where I am at and what size I am. I am not looking for the perfect number on the scale, I am going for a certain size! I want to be a size 14. I'm in a size 18 now, so 14 is just over the horizon!
Time for me to get back to work!
Happy Friday Everyone!
