Creative title, I know.  But hey, at least I put something there!  LMFAO!  Anyways, I haven't updated since my last weigh-in and I wanted to let it be known that I finally hit 184!  YAY!  However, as of just an hour ago, I was at 190 - BOO!  But, it's not a big deal for me.  Tonight was my night off, so I had a lot of salty food and half of an ice cream.  I also had some rice with my dinner, so I'm sure that's blown me up!  But it didn't taste all that great so I didn't eat anymore.  This AM, I think I was 187.5.  I was swollen a bit, too.  AND, not been great on water.  So, hopefully by the time my next weigh-in rolls around, I'll see 183.  I enjoyed the ice cream and half was actually more than I needed.  I just finished it to finish it and I shouldn't have.  Next time, if I'm full or satisfied, just going to let it sit.  I don't know why I can do it with anything else, but not ice cream.  Just makes no sense.

Sleep has been going MUCH better.  After a couple of nights of using the PM meds, I finally have been able to go to sleep at a regular time.  It's almost 12 now, and I'm feelin' snoozy.  So, I'm hoping that means that I am getting back in the 'groove'.  Food (other than today) has been good.  I tried to do my cheat night last night, but just wasn't into it.  I did have a bit of ice cream, but only like 1/4c regular chocolate chip cookie dough.  I literally ate a few bites and was done.  I was going to have more tonight, but once I was there and ready to order, I just didn't want it.  Strange.  So, I had my usual drink, my usual food, and then half the dessert.  Oh, and that darn rice that didn't do it for me so I ended up not eating it.  But my tummy isn't 100% happy with it.  Maybe it's good that the food isn't rocking my socks.  Maybe that means my body really is getting set to not have 'junk'.  Vitamins -- not so good.  Just can't seem to remember to take them!  Going to try harder tomorrow.  Water -- good until the last few days.  Going to REALLY focus on that and flush out the yuckies.  Now, on to exercise.  NOT good at all. :(  Although, I am happy to report that I can now reach my equipment and should be able to get back at it soon.  I have been staying busy over the last week, but I really like to get in that 'planned' or 'orgnazied' workout.  But with the sickness last week (my son had a HORRID cold) and the stuff downstairs not reachable,  AND the hubby being on nights, well, just didn't do it.  So far this week is a no go, too.  Going to TRY to do some sort of planned thing tomorrow even if it's something off of DVR!

Well, I should get going but I also wanted to mention that getting down to 184 helped me to pass the 40lbs. mark which was at 186.5!  I look forward to hitting 45 and then 50.  I just can't imagine being at 176.5.  Right now, I feel like I've changed so much that I just can't imagine that number.  At that point, I will only have about 20lbs. left!  Or 30.  We'll see.  But I just can't imagine what 176.5 looks like much less smaller.  I mean, I know that I've been there before, but it was sooooooo long ago that I just don't remember.  I'm thinking that the lower 170's will be a 12 for me.  Right now, those 14's are fitting loose with me in the lower 180's.  So, that's what I'm thinking.  My friend is in the 150's and she's an 8 and I'm curvier than her, so I'm thinking lower 160's will be a 10 and then lower 150's will be an 8.  Not sure if I want to go lower or not or if it will go that way, but kinda thinking that's how it goes.  I may need like, 5lbs. adjusted up since I'm curvy.  We'll see.  I'm not stuck on it, so it's not a big deal.  It is now officially a little past 12 so I need to get to bed soon.  Think I'll have a little more water, a lil' protein shake, and take my booty to bed.  G'night!
