I weighed in this morning. Curiosity got the best of me! Since last Friday I have lost 3 pounds! I am now at 280. I am ONLY 2 pounds away from losing 60!!!!!!! That is like a little kid. Talk about finally having a monkey jump off my back ha-ha. I was not expecting to see 280 on scale since last Friday where I had only lost 2 pounds for the 2 prior weeks and also because of this past weekend when I made some fatty food choices. I have been staying active and am feeling great! I had 2 eggs and my 45 calorie multigrain toast after I woke up this morning. I still have been using a sliver of my light I can’t believe it’s not butter when I fry my eggs. I cracked the second egg and it was a double yolker! I have always taken that as a sign of good luck! It has been a long time since I’ve had an egg like that. Michael went to work around 3pm and I made him a pepperoni Roma pizza before he left and I had a piece with him (100 calories). Soon I will be having a late lunch and will have dinner around 8 since I am staying up until Michael gets home at 3am. My Mom went to the farmers market today and picked me up a spaghetti squash and 3 ears of corn. I am going to make the squash for lunch and have corn on the cob with boiled fish for dinner. The night before last I did some weight lifting in the basement and I am still sore 2 days later. The first picture on this post is of Chewie on the weight bench that night lol – My macho man! After lunch I am going to walk to my Moms and back for today’s exercise. I am so happy I started this process. Almost 60 pounds down and counting; I never thought it was possible. There was a time where I seriously thought I looked better the way I was than if I were to lose weight. I am so glad that crazy person has finally left the coo coos nest!!!! LOL I just looked up "2 yolks in one egg" on google and one of its superstitious meanings is that there is a marriage coming soon. Weirdly enough I’m photographing my friends wedding this Saturday! Spooky!

Wow....Jason is not going to recognize you when he sees you! I know he will be very happy for your success. Would love to be there when he sees his hot new cuz. Also, your earlier blog on how you are feeling different different is pretty cool. Who would think weight loss would have so many different "side effects" (great ones). I guess it's like we said...it's more than just losing pounds. It's good to know that you are learning to let go of bothersome things. Sometimes it takes a lifetime to learn that. I also remember how much lighter I felt when I was dieting and lost those first few pounds. It immediately makes you feel light as a feather and somehow much more agile. If I lost 60 pounds (and I should), I could be a ballerina for crying out loud!!! Okay, maybe not. But the possibilities are endless when one finally feels better about herself, right? How's the photography thing going? I know you're focused on your fitness program, but keep that special talent with the camera going because you really have a good future in that field. It just won't go anywhere without you behind the lens!! Great going overall, Looney. P.S.--Jason should be a model, so take some great photos of him when he comes to visit this time. You can get Justin next time around. I want some special pics of my handsome "boys" to hang in my new home when I move back to Florida. (That IS going to happen one day, you know.) xoxo -Deb
