Woot Woot!

Short blog today.

Quick update for those of you following my weight-loss progress:

I am happy to say I finally dropped below the 200 lb. mark. Woohoo!

I haven't lost as much weight as quickly as the last time, but that's ok. I feel a lot better and am much happier. Even 5 lbs. makes a difference.

The visible difference in stomach bloating is probably my favorite part. No more looking pregnant!

The fat lady's aria

The sky has fallen, the end is near.

Adam knew a word I didn't.

It wasn't even related to farming.

We started back on hard core phase 1 of South Beach, as of Monday morning. Monday evening we were in Peoria and trying to figure out where we could eat dinner and have more options than a garden salad. Harder than one might think. White bread is EVERYWHERE!

I was near meltdown status, because everything I wanted included flour, pasta, fries, etc. Finally, I narrowed it down to 2 choices, but could not decide.

Adam said, "Well, you'll get more 'utils' out of the chicken."

I started cracking up. WTF are utils? It sounds like noodles but with a u. Sounds like a made-up word, if you ask me. He proceeded to inform me that they're a unit of measurement regarding enjoyment.

All throughout dinner, I could not focus on anything but this mystery word, which I still didn't believe was actually a word. By the time we got in the car, I had to bust out the blackberry and find out once and for all. Dictionary.com had no listings, but the thesaurus sure did. He was absolutely right.

Unfreakingbelievable.

He thought it was fantastic and decided he would start reading the thesaurus every day just to find a vocab word I don' t know. Ass.

More like fatty patty...

Speaking of my lacking skinny minnie status, here's a diet update:

I haven't lost any weight since I last blogged about it. I also have not exercised or followed tooooo closely to the SB plan. Amazing how that works...eat less than healthy food, drink, don't work out and you don't lose weight. I should write a book about the anti-diet. Whoops!

The good news, though, is that I also haven't gained any weight. Lest you all think I'm a whiner, I've chosen not to blog about it on a daily, or even weekly, basis. Hard to blog about how nothings happening when you're not doing anything to make it happen.

That's all in the past. We purchased a Wii with the EA sports active package recently and haven't killed ourselves yet! We've started walking the dog more, and just making a concerted effort to MOVE more. Hopefully it will pay off. So that's where I stand; thank you all for your questions. Maybe next week I will have something more exciting (less weight) to report.
