HOLY COW! This is crazy! I am so sorry that I have not written for so long. I have been so crazy with work and just life in general that I have not been able to get a new post on my Healthy Edge blog!
Things have been going good. I have not lost anymore weight, but I know that I am down inches again.
I am trying to be positive about the not losing weight thing. It is quite frustrating, but at the same time, I was counseled to simply rejoice in all my successes, no matter how big or small.
This is where I am hitting a plateau and so it is time to switch it up. I am going to go and see Dr. Shurtliff tomorrow and I am going to see about switching up my exercise routine and see if I can break this plateau that I have hit.
I think I can...
I think I can...
I think I can...
:) I know, I am funny...LOOKING THAT IS! HA HA HA!! Ok, well I am going to go! I have to run Shyanne to dance and also get a few more sales appts in for the magazine. Wish me luck!

LONG WEEK!
hehe! Ok so it has been a few days since I wrote, BUT it is because this last week was VERY busy. We got the magazines in late, which yes, we were all just a LITTLE stressed over here about, BUT we managed and we did not gain any weight. So I was busy doing deliveries and sending out subscriptions and all of that fun stuff. THEN on top of it all, I got to go in and see Dr. Shurtliff this last week.
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT I WEIGHED IN AT?
WELL....
DO YA...
THIS IS SO COOL!
I weighed in at 231.some other #. YEAH!!!!! So the first time I went and I say Dr. Shurtliff, was only 2 months ago and I weighed 246. some #. I made it through the holidays with the help of Carl and the girls without gaining ANY weight at all. Then on top of it, I find out that I actually lost 15 lbs according to the doc's scale. I do want to say this also though, the VERY first I weighed myself was about 2 weeks before I go to go and see the doc and it was on my mom and dad's scale. Well, if you have read my other blogs then you will remember this scale is not too reliable because it said I weighed like 6 lbs less then I actually did. BUT when I did weigh myself on it the first time, it read 250 lbs. So I am going to say I have lost nearly 20 lbs since the very, very beginning of this contest. Oh, I won't say that i have not had some slip-ups with food and such, BUT I have been trying really hard and everyone at The Edge Christmas party last night (yes we had it last night...better late then never right?) said that they could tell I have lost weight.
YEAH!!! That made me so happy. I can tell they have lost weight too though! We all are looking REALLY good right now Not as good as what we want to be, but considering we just went through the holidays, I am really impressed with how this is turning out!
Dr. Shurtliff just kept saying how proud he was of me. It really made me feel good to hear that from him because I have been working REALLY hard at this!
Well, I am going to go for now, haven't been to bed before 2 AM this whole last week because of work so I am going to hit the hay early tonight so I am ready to hit the ground running tomorrow. Thanks for your support and talk to you later!

Slowly But Surely
I have to laugh at myself because first of all I am a first rate goofball, and secondly I am simply a big fat dork! I am doing this weightless thing right AND I DON'T EVEN OWN A SCALE! EWH! Dirty word right? Well when I went and saw the doc the other day he gave me a challenge and that was lose to lose 6 lbs before I came back to see him in 3 three weeks. No, it is not on my own, it is using some of my old weight loss routines that have worked in the past.
well...it didn't start off that great because it was Thursday and you had to be living under a rock to not know that in the Basin they were having numerous midnight showings of Twilight! AND YES I WENT!!! As a matter of a fact the girls and I all went together and even made it a double header by going and seeing the new James Bond flick "Quantum of Solace". WOW I loved that one, it totally motivated me to watch what I was eating there at the movie AND IT DID!!
I am trying really hard to make sure that even when I have a snack it is not a meal of snacks. I need more protein is what my doc said and so I am trying to in add in more protein to what I eat. AND EATING BREAKFAST!!
I am horrible about eating breakfast! I DON'T! But I need too! In fact what he told me was 40%, 40%, 20%. So 40% of your calories for breakfast, 40% of your calories for lunch and then the last 20% for dinner. I am trying REALLY HARD to do this and I think it is working. BUT, I am just going to surprise myself at the doctors in two weeks when I go in for my follow up appt! WISH ME LUCK!!!
Talk to you later!

Real Life
I AM SO EXCITED!!! I meet with my doctor today, who by the way IS TOTALLY AWESOME! His name is Shaun Shurtlef and he practices family medicine in Vernal at Ashley Regional Medical Center. He is a total riot to talk to AND he is really good at helping people lose weight and KEEP IT OFF!
So I went in today and got my physical. UGH...he is talking about a colonoscopy, which totally makes me feel old if I am talking about doing things like that. OH WELL! If it means in the end (haha-get your mind out of the gutter), I get to live a much more product life because I am able to keep on doing those things I love to do...THEN BRING ON THE BACKLESS GOWN!!! :)
It has been VERY stressful over the last few days because it is our deadline week. BUT WE GOT IT PUT TO BED TODAY!!! WAHOO!!! That is such a wonderful feeling when you push that send button for the final time and you watch as cyber space whisks your files over to be turned in the magazine! AND EVEN WITH THE STRESS OF THAT...I did pretty good with my eating. OK, except for maybe last night when a freind of mine brought over these decadent chocolate brownies. Hey, I only had four of them. Ok, maybe those four were the equivilent of a half of a pan of brownies. Ok and so maybe it was the 13x9 pan and not the little 8x8 pan. OK, OK...I broke down and indulged...BUT IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!! I LOVE BROWNIES.
And Dr. Shurtlef even said today that it is ok to have those sweet treats...as long as I am willing to put in the extra work to burn off those extra sugar calories. OH MAN...THAT MEANS LIKE 3 MONTHS ON MY TREADMILL TO BURN OFF THOSE BROWNIES I JUST ATE. :) It will be worth it in the end though when I hit my target goal of 150 lbs.
Dr. Shurtlef and I talked about it today and we both agree 150 lbs is a great place for me to be! BUT...
HERE COMES THE SCARY PART...
READY TO HEAR IT...
HOW MUCH WEIGHT I HAVE TO LOSE THAT IS....
I AM TOTALLY PROCRASTINATING TELLING YOU, CAN'T YOU TELL...
100 lbs!!!!
Yes, you heard me right, I am going to lose 100 lbs. over the next year while we are doing our weight lose contest. It is not going to be easy and I know this, but I know that I can do it! And i want to do it! I don't want to give up things like riding my horse because I am afraid I will hurt her. I want to feel better, I don't want my body to hurt all the time because my weight stresses out my joints, and yes...I want to have crazy wild sex with my husband without parts moving that really shouldn't be moving! (Dude, it totally ruins the moment!)
Well, the next step is the nutrionist who is going to help me with setting up the right kind of menu so that I am eating the right foods at the right time. (Notice I did not say diet?) I am wanting to change my life and I will and you will get to see it all because this is REAL LIFE!!!
