Hi Heather...just popping in here to wish you a great Sunday!

Hi Lisa and Vickie! It's Monday morning and I woke up early and wanting to jump into exercise. The kids are out of school today so I put on my pedometer and plan on keeping on the weight vest until I shower right before DH comes home. Me lugging an extra 10 pound vest should burn off a bit of extra calories while I'm exercise, cleaning and being a mom. Going to be a great day!

Splitting up my exercise routine has been nice. I love my mommy time 3x a day. I lost all my binge Sunday weight plus another pound! All I have to do is lose 2 pounds a week until the last week of 1 pound. To March 15th - Biggest Loser style.

Went out to eat with family last night. It was last minute and I had no time to plan my food with the restaurant so I ate before I went. Family was a bit concerned when I told them I had brought my own dinner and jokingly took out 2 pieces of gum calling them dinner and snack. Then I had to rush to explain I had planned out my food for the day and already ate a high protein dinner before coming. I did have a diet soda and it hurt my belly. I have been caffeine free for 2 weeks but thought I'd have one glass. After that it was water.

Wow Heather! good job not allowing the dinner out to sabotage your plan! You're doing great!

Thank you Vickie!! I was hungry last night but ate plenty. I always know when I'm in binge mode and not really hungry because I don't want vegetables or healthy food but junk only. So, I went to bed early last night and today met my 2 pound weekly goal! I'm so happy. Friday or Saturday I weigh in at my diet center so it's nice to just enjoy exercising and eating right with those 2 pounds hovering over me 2-3 days early.

Binge mode always just sneaks up on me! Boo! And it's there. So I try to have low or zero carb nibbles handy just for those times.

Wow, Heather, you are doing great!

Thanks! That is a great idea. I really need to keep more pickles and sf jello available for those binge moments. I'm still sore from the hour of lower body weight training I did on Tuesday so I'm walking on my treadmill in exchange. Keep the muscles loose anyhow and keep my metabolism burning. 7 weeks left until final weigh in so I need to do my best! Hoping to lose ounces or even more pound(s) with this weeks weigh in.

I weighed in 1-2 days early at LAWL and lost 3 pounds!! I'm a week ahead of schedule with now 12 pounds to goal and 7 weeks left to get there! I'm glad that I'm not forced to lose 2 pounds the last week now but can just lose 1 the final two weeks. Hope to continue a burst in weight loss because the closer to goal is the harder I'll have to push.

Thanks Rob! I was thrilled with this weeks weigh in.

My DH and DS2 went inside to see my before/after photo on the wall. I actually have 2 different before picture and then after ones they put up at the center. I've lost the most of any of those before/after photo's. I'm the winner because I was the fattest? lol Anyway, my family was so sweet this morning and DS1 said, mom I was to go in and see! I told him that probably Saturday since he had school today. My DH was so anxious to see it too.

Great going on the loss, Heather. Have a good weekend.
