I drank 120 oz water yesterday and walked 2.5 miles.
I jumped on the scale this morning and it read 190. DOWN 3 pounds from yesterday. I know it was / is water, but hey.....
I vow not to jump on it again until next Monday.

The weekly measurements, inches down are:

Bicep - same. Ugh. Gonna add my 5lb weights to de-jigglefy.

Chest - total 2.5" gone

Forearem - total of 1" gone

Neck - total 1" gone and STILL cracks me up. Wish I could measure chin size.....

Waist - total 1" gone. The area I hate the MOST. Ugh. At least there is an inch less to hate.

Thighs - total 2.5" gone HOORAY. We don't like each other that much..

Calf - same We're cool. We like each other alot.

Hips - total 1.5" lost

Grand total since the start: 9.5 inches.

Ok, on to the fun stuff:

I worked an hour in the yard diggin up small trees. Tree roots run deep and suck.

The biggest loser bandwagon I have jumped on. I have mixed emotions about it. I root for them all. Then I get jealous. Then I feel relieved. Is it hateful? I'm not sure.

I get jealous because I see them losing like 11 pounds a week. Dang. I'm lucky to get 4. But, I have to remember, they are working out for HOURS a day as where I only do maybe an hour of walking on a treadmill. Then, even though I root for them, I can't help but feel better about my weight loss situation. I think they lose more due to amount of weight they HAVE to lose. I find myself being thankful that I only have 30 pounds to lose vs. Shay, who started at like 474. Does that sound bad? I hope not because I don't mean for it to. I personally am hoping she is the one who wins it all.

I guess what I am trying to say, is it kinda puts things into perspective and makes me feel like my battle can and will be won. I don't even know if I am making any sense right now...... if they can lose that much weight..... then my little bit (in comparison) can be done too.

So.... to wrap the Loser up... .I can't stand that Kook Tracey (?). UGH. I love Shay and can't wait to see what she looks like in the end. I swore I wouldn't get sucked into this, but I think it's kinda hard not to. I do get inspired. I usually walk on my treadmill afterwards, while it is still fresh in my mind.

I am shooting again for my 120oz of water. I need to buy a REAL 24oz bottle to reuse. I have 2 bottles that I got from Valero that I am reusing. I know they say it's bad for the environment and they leech if they get hot... but..... egh. Whatev.

I did get the stop smoking book that I read on here about. I haven't really cracked it open yet, but my intent is there. To date, I've stopped tanning and drastically cut back on the liquid crack. I can't say it will be 100% though. In all honesty. I need a little something extra on the weekends to push me to do all the yardwork, etc around the house that I have to do. Maybe I can have only ONE on Saturdays, granted I walk everyday and no cheats. Low carb, as usual. Kinda like a reward?

Tomorrow I am meeting up with childhood friends for dinner. We always eat. Ugh. It is my choice of place to grub, so I am stuck finding a place where I can still eat. Mexican food is EVERYWHERE so maybe I can find a grill or something. I fear my downfall will be Miller Lite, but I will try to refrain 100%. One of those friends LITERALLY will drive you to drink, just to tolerate her dumba$$. I've known her since 3rd grade but DAMNNN. Patience is a virtue, but ML seems to work quicker and there is more of that than patience.

I hope everyone has a rockin day! The weather is getting cooler so we ALL need to go outside and suck it up!!
