It's starting to sink in!

Weight 147.2 (+0.4) boo!
Waist 34 1/2" (-1/2") yea!
Hips 37 3/4" (+1/4") boo! but i wanna think that's because I'm getting a boot tey!
Bust 38 1/2" (-1/2")yea
Biceps 12"NO CHANGE
Neck 13 3/4" (-1/4") and there's no sucking your neck in! hahaha!
Thigh 19 1/4"(-3/4")yea!

Well, yes my weight is up a bit. And no, I did not track consistently again. Wow, I so hate admitting when I don't take my own advice, especially if I'm right. I just stinks. Not that I'm right, the part where I don't even listen to me lol. That's why this i a journey. It's progress even what others might consider a failure (my weight is up this week), I do not. I still see progress. My inches are changing. I'm learning from my mistakes. This too is progress!

I know you are all dying to know what vegetable I tried. Ha! Steve brought home an OPA MELON from Jungle Jim's yesterday. (http://www.junglejims.com/) Definitely check out the website. This has got to be the coolest grocery around. Tons of people actually vacation here just to go to this market. If they don't carry it, it probably doesn't exist. I confess, we have not tried the melon yet. We will though and ya know you will have to hear about it lol.

Well, anywho, I have been doing the Jillian Michael's 30 day shred for the past several weeks. I have been doing it about 5 days a week and wow, is it showing. Other than the obvious that you can see my inches are changing, I can also tell. My arms are looking pretty buff and oh my!, I'm getting a shapely boot tey! I'm definitely loving that. Also, my stamina and energy level are soaring! (see info below on upcoming grandson and know that I will need that energy!)

Although I have been staying within my points, at least the points that I am calculating in my head and not writing down. Yes, I get it. I'm guessing you are getting it too. I'M A SLOW LEARNER! WRITE DOWN YOUR FOOD DOOFUS! Ha! I just needed to be forceful with myself for a minute to ensure that I get it this week. I have been eating some junk. (ie: cake and chips at my son's & his girlfriends baby shower (oh yeah! gonna be a grandma in a few weeks! woot woot) we also went to the chinese buffet last night! I only had sushi and did not even go to the buffet bar. total successful moment for me and yes I am bragging but, I did have a lot of soy sauce with my sushi and I know that is showing up today with some water retention.) Ha! I crack me up. I digress even within my digressions lol. THE POINT DAWN, GET TO THE POINT. Oh yeah. When I eat too much junk it shows. Even if it is within my points, when I eat too much processed junk the scale doesn't seem to move in the right direction for me. I know that is because through Dr. Oz, Dr. Roisen, and Weight Watcher's they are promoting me to eat healthier and my body wants that too.

So what are this weeks goals you ask????

1. Write down all the food I put in my mouth. (this will be really hard for me this week since it is my birthday on Wednesday. This forces me to count and write down my birthday dinner!)

2. Eat the Opa Melon.

3. Continue to exercise but, try a new work out video. I will report back on this and tell you how I felt about it. We have Exercise TV so my video will most likely come from there.
