update for WE 9-26

I thought I'd just post an update of my week for those interested.

Sun. - Packers lost, but so did the Niners (sorry Martha it's a work thing -
the boss is a SF fan). Cooked dinners for DH during the entire game and a
week's worth of HMR cookies for me. Ate an HMR entree in
addition to the shakes. Did Susan Powter tape in AM.
Mon. - Ran 3 mi in AM, hit Curves after work.
Tue. - First day with no workout in months because I overslept. Needed the
sleep more than the workout. Couldn't go after work because I had a
football game to attend. Still put over 17,000 steps on pedometer.
Wed. - Ran 3 mi in AM. HMR in PM. Weighed in at 153.5, committed to
starting transition back to food next week (eating the potoato) regardless
of whether or not I hit 150 (my fasting goal weight) - brought home entrees
for 5 nights. Volleyball league after HMR. Ran 1 mi to warm up then played
3 games, shagged balls, and did spiking drills. Real games start next week.
Thu. - WEIGHED 150 POUNDS in AM. Decided it was water fluctuation and would
be back up the next day. Went to work feeling giddy. Curves after work,
then 90 min yoga class. Ate an entree.
Fri. - STILL WEIGHED 150 POUNDS. Went to Curves before work for the first
time. Got my monthly weigh in and measurements. Waist is now 29.5" down
from 47" (-2.5" this month). Hips went down 2". I'm too numb from the shock
to wrap my mind around this. Ate an entree.
Weekend plans: Sat - 3 mi walk to raise $$ for Alzheimer's, then Curves, and
then work all day in classroom. Sun - 5 mi hike (weather permitting - it's
supposed to rain all day/rain plan is short run then power yoga) and then
cook in the afternoon.

Oh, and by the way, I HIT MY FLIPPIN "mini" GOAL. I also updated my web
page with a current pic (www.resurvey.org/jenn/hmr). (BTW ladies - the pants
in the pic are the cords I bought 6 days ago - mentioned in other threads -
and they're already getting loose)

Thank you! My dad complained that I had bags under my eyes and made me
promise to get more sleep. Gotta love virtual nagging

Jenn, congratulations on making 150! And, of course, on your overall
transformation, which is nothing short of amazing. You look
wonderful!

Thanks! I can finally say I'm half the woman I used to be (on the outside).

Gosh, snow already? Where do you live? I'm actually looking forward to
snow (ski fever), but this weekend here in Portland we're supposed to hit 90
again. It's been a super hot and dry summer for the PNW...

I have to say - although I've never had more than 40 or so lbs to lose,
every time I see your website and the progress you've made, I'm just
awe-struck. I'm curious how your husband has been through your
transition... Seem like it would be such a huge change for him too.
Anyways, I congratulate you on your success - I think you're amazing.

I'm in far northern Wisconsin, just south of Lake Superior - on the fringe
of an area called "the Lake Superior snow belt." My first year up here we
had snow on 9/21, then 70's during deer hunting season (the week before
Thanksgiving). Go figure. I swear this morning there was snow mixed with
rain when I was driving to Curves. BTW, my brother and his family are right
over the border from you in Vancouver, WA.

My husband has been great. He was initially shocked when I told him I
wanted to try HMR and he didn't think I'd be able to stick with it but kept
that to himself. Once I was under 200 lbs he was convinced I'd make it all
the way. It's been huge for him and we've had issues, but we're very good
at working through stuff. I received a large and very beautiful flower
arrangement at work today in celebration of this latest milestone.
Thanks for the compliments. I think most of the posters here on ASD are
pretty darn amazing (yourself included) and I'm glad to have so much support
from everyone.

Jenn, congratulations!! You look really fantastic. You are one of my
inspirations here.

What an inspiration! You do look wonderful. How many snow days do your
kids get? I would never survive a winter of so much snow. Elise (who will
not absolutely, positively not drive in the snow due to a severe chicken
like tendency in that regard).

That is truly a transformation. Like a caterpillar into a big beautiful
butterfly.
