I made it to the 130s, finally, a goal I have had since January!!!!!  I will reach the 50lb lost mark HOPEFULLY tomorrow...I have .6 to go.  Boy, what a journey.  I'm continuing to struggle with hunger and food cravings this round, and to top it off, every night I dream of food (and then wake up thinking I have cheated).  This is definitely my hardest round yet.  But Im choosing to continue working out, and I know that is probably affecting me, as is my attitude.  Two more weeks to go at the minimum...just keep breathing, Kelly.

Yesterday was a blast!  I did my warrior dash, a 3.15 mile course with 13 obstacles (like jumping over fire, and wading through chest deep FREEZING water and having to jump over logs, and crawling through mud under barbed wire), and we finished in about 45 minutes.  I went with a girlfriend of mine (see the pic posted yesterday) who was such a trooper.  She hasn't run in a long time, has bronchitis and yesterday TOM arrived for her (and no I didnt force her to go :)).  So I call her the ultimate warrior.  We stuck together for support, which was great, and ended up crossing the finish line holding hands.  So cool...Thanks Pam.  You ROCK!

After she drunk her disgusting beer (her words), we watched a few of the bands, cleaned off a little, and headed home.  Three hours of driving for a two hour event.  After I got home, I fell asleep for two hours immediately after finishing my shower (and almost fell asleep in there).  I was so exhausted.  Hubby  finally dragged me out of bed at 4:30pm since we had dinner plans.

We went to Ted's Montana Grill for dinner with hubby's parents, who were celebrating their wedding anniversary (40+ yrs), and I enjoyed a 4 oz filet with some asparagus and tomatoes (it was actually 8 ozs, and it was SO HARD to not finish the whole thing).  I mixed my veggies, and still lost, yay!  The kids were good (ie no one ended up crying, including me) and we had a very nice time.  Please join me in wishing congrats to my Mom and Dad in laws for reaching such an amazing milestone.  Here's to many more blessing filled, awe-inspiring, love fest filled years for you two!

And here's to my reaching another amazing milestone tomorrow. 

ps tomorrow is the EXPOSED anniversary for Mish at EatingJourney.com.  If you remember, I exposed myself earlier this year, and made known all the reasons why I love my body so.  So tomorrow, Im going to do it again, in honor of Mish's anniversary, and my amazing journey.  I invite you to join me!  You can also link to this website if you do it.

Crazy busy at work this morning.  I was assigned a listing to review with 752 data points (first time I reviewed it it took me a week), but I was able to finish it by noon thanks to good notes from the last time I did it, and my persistance with my boss, bugging her about what really didnt need to be done again.  Measured myself at lunch time, and though I think I look skinnier, my measurments arent that much different from last week. 

Tonight Im supposed to go to Masters Swim, but I think Im going to walk about work this afternoon instead.  Its gorgeous outside, and I need me some vitamin D.  I also need a break from the cleaning...or should I say the state of upheaval that leaves me reeling and feeling like I will never get out from all the crap I have and cant figure out what to do with.  Im not really a hoarder, I swear...

Just pigged out at lunchtime, so many delicious strawberries and chocolate sauce (I hate the Walden Farms chocolate dip, but love their sauce)...and I actually got hungry really early this morning, so I ate my chicken cold at my desk around 10am.  Feeling stuffed now, and need to get ready for a 2pm meeting, so off I go. 

Have wonderful days, my missees...

And let me know if you want me to order you anything special at the adult party I will be attending this Saturday night in honor of my book club gals Lindsay and Anne's birthdays...it should be a riot!

3 Month Measurements

Here are my measurements after 3 months (gained 2 inches in waist over last two weeks):

Measurement #3-Three Weeks Already?

So stayed at 171.4 today...pretty good since I'm so bloated from TOM. And yesterday was normally the heaviest day. Funny thing about yesterday is that I was not hungry AT ALL the entire day. I normally feel a little tinge when its time to eat, and yesterday, nothing. So I actually forgot to each lunch until 2pm (normally eat by 12), and dinner was at 7:30, since I forgot to eat while I was feeding the kids-too caught up in making sure the dishes were done and the kids were having fun.

Measurements this morning were good considering TOM (yes my lovely friend Tom...did you know that was my dad's name? (RIP)).   I'm down 3 inches overall since last thursday. Also, since I started, my body fat % has gone from 25.78 to 25.52 (well, its something) and my BMI has gone from 31.03 (obese) to 28.52 (overweight). Here is the overall table (click to see bigger):

Injection Day 1/Measurements

So after stressing for the last few weeks, I just gave myself my first injection and it was easy and painless. Had a very mild injection reaction (little rash and burning) 5 minutes or so, but other than that, all is good. Somehow now I have to binge eat for the next two days, when for the last week or so I haven't felt much like eating at all. Also, I need to drink at least 3L of water (96oz) a day.

I took all my measurements this morning, and will share them with you here...all figures are in inches if not indicated.

Weight: 186.5 lbs
Fat % (not sure how accurate, as I haven't tested my scale): 42.5
Clothing Size: Women's 14-16 (most often the latter)
RT 26
LT 26.5

LA 15
Chest 38.5

Heres a link to the protocol I'm doing in case you are interested, and I'm also posting a video by a Naturopathic Dr that performs this protocol with his patients so you can get an idea of what I'm doing (so Mom, its ok! Don't worry!):
