Its August already...

So I am still on my path to a healthier & better life. I struggle almost every day. It seems like food consumes everyone. Or maybe because I have a lot of difficulties with food I just see that. I don't know.
Today I had a party with most of my friends. We could all gain from losing weight and becoming more healthy. Most of us have struggled with weight in our adult lives. The last couple of years since being on WW most of the group has gotten better with dishes brought to potlucks or just the amount of food we have at a party in general. Although today its seemed like we had more than enough.
The longer and longer I take to get it, that FOOD shouldn't control my life, I get somewhat stronger. Or maybe its just an illusion. I know right now thought I can't sit in front of food for any long period of time. Even after I feel that I've satisfied my hunger, if I sit in front of chips, bread or any other reachable food I seem to just grab it. There is no purpose for this eating, but it still happens. Why is that? Why do I feel this need or desire to still eat after I already had my share? I don't get it.
Today though I stopped myself, I came to the realization that right now I am not strong enough to over come this. At least for now I can not sit with food in front of me because I will just mindlessly eat because others are doing the same thing.

I know I am rambling and by this time not making much sense but its something I had to write about. I feel like getting my "issues" with food out here helps. Well see :)

33 has came & gone...

So on Friday my friends & I got together and had a little cheese party. Hahah I say little but actually there were 18 cheeses for tasting. 2 of them however where in a fondue. I had brought the bread, crackers, apples, pears & grapes all to eat with the cheese. There were 7 of us in all who ate the cheese but 9 of us in total present. Wendy she hates cheese...yea she is crazy or deranged haven't figured it out. Marcella well she wasn't feeling quite well enough to eat the cheese her stomach has been bothering her.

So in theory my friends were to bring 1-2 cheese a piece. But instead 2 of the friends brought the most! It was like they got really into this. I loved it though, had a blast.


On Saturday I went on a nice hike...killer hike to work off the cheese from the night before. It was a great goal of mine and I hadn't done that much of the whole park before. It was WONDERFUL!

OMG its been a month & I haven't posted anything...

Well 1st of all Steve's party went well...
He was surprised. Stephanie came for a visit and she took us out to dinner at this fabulous restaurant called Alexanders.

Dinner was wonderful. Although it didn't help in my weight loss endeavors. I am still at the 88-90 pounds gone. Which I am playing back & forth with over the last month.
I need to just quit fooling around and getting moving on down the scale again.

Jamaica trip is fast approaching. I am happy with all I've accomplished but I can do better then this yo-yo-ing.

I bought Steve a tandem bike for his birthday, well its kind of for both of us.

We haven't rode it seriously yet. Although him & his Dad put it together and we had a chance to test it out.

Lost 3.4 & totally shocked

So tuesday I weighed in and lost another 3.4lbs and was pleasantly surprised but shocked. Just last week I was up a little & the week prior I was down 4.8lbs. SO in the last 3 weeks. I've lost OVER 7 POUNDS! Well I have increased my workouts & I changed to a different program on WW's. They have 2. This one is center more around fruits/Veggies and less processed foods. I guess thats what I would say. Hard to explain it. Anyway I am so happy because I was kind of struggling about a month ago with not losing as much as before.
So I am just hoping that I can keep this up. Not necessarily the 4 & 3's every other week although nice that is rather fast. But 2lbs a week is good hehehee.

In other news How About my Sharks! Joe Thorton scored in the last seconds of the game to win! He tied up the Series and now the Sharks are home today.
Steve and I hope for a BIG WIN! They can do it! We want it more really :)

Yesterday was my friend Wendy's birthday she is the same age as me but OLDER! hahaha :) We went to get massages. I took half day off work. It was fun the spa was very nice. Our other friend Laura came too. Laura and I had a couples massage as always, its funny. Thats like our 3rd couples massage now.
