TOTAL WEIGHT LOST: 28 pounds
CURRENT WEAKNESSES: Orville Redenbacher’s Smartpop! Kettle Corn and Coke’s new C2.

YAY! I’m slowly getting there. All the the new non-maternity clothes I bought a month ago fit so much better (not as snung across the midsection). Unfortunately the cargo capris I love (and other bottoms) have become too loose….prompting me on a constant search for new pants, jeans, or skirts. Wil often chides me for buying (or searching to buy) bottoms since she foresees continual weight loss in the months to come. She’s right…I should hold off for a while, but my vanity gets the better of me. :razz:

The problem with the weight loss now is all this loose skin! I remember having this problem with Ashlyn as well. There’s not much you can do about that but wait. Hopefully crunches will help speed things up.

My diet consists of: one serving of meat at lunch and dinner, one measured cup of starch a day, all the veggies I want, and regulated fats and sugars (fruits, snacks, and soda). If you don’t know what size a ‘serving’ is, I was instructed to put my thumbs and index fingers together to form an oval. What fits inside that oval is a serving. :sad: *Boo-Hoo*….I have small hands.
The first week, I was terrribly miserable. I was hungry ALL the time and voiced my unhappiness to Wing often. hehehe
Since then, I’ve gotten used to it and have become more concious of what I consume.

Exercise is good…although I haven’t been very disciplined in keeping with it daily. I admit, I’ve lost some motivation and momentum since the July 4th Weekend Getaway. :oops:
But I’m getting back on track.

22 more pounds to go. Wish me luck! :grin:

Oh dear…Sarah brought to my attention that she recieved several emails from me with suspicious attachments. :???: I don’t know what that’s all about…but I assume it has to be a virus.

I barely have time to repsond to my emails (sorry)…let alone send out attachments. :neutral:
So if any of you get an email from “peg@pegpower.com”PLEASE DELETE IT!
By the way, I NEVER send out email from that address.

Thanks for your kind attention. hehehe
