Much better

I tried to post a couple of times from someone elses computer but blogger wouldn't let it post.. kept telling me there was an error.  Probably cause I was posting from Luxembourg.

I just got back from a 16 day trip to London UK, Germany, Luxembourg with some side visits to France & Belgium. The side visits were only a scenic drive.
BUT in my travels I did do a LOT of walking... I figure I averaged 15,000 - 20,000 steps per day.  I was very paranoid that I wouldn't fit into a formal gown I brought to wear to a wedding we were going to so I was VERY careful with my eating... and I drank LOTS of water... NO pop... no alcohol just plain water. Got a shock in Germany though. When you ask for water it comes carbinated.  So I asked for Still water - it still had some carbination... so I asked for tap water. I got funny looks but they served it. 

Alll in all it was a wonderful trip and 2 days after I got back it was WI day! 
I went to my meeting and stepped on the scale...
drum roll please!
ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.......

I lost 3.7 lbs!

I was VERY happy!

Now to keep it going...

That just reminded me... I need to go grab my glass of water.
Cheers and have a great day!

Crashing

I am really at a crash and burn.  Last week I gained 3 lbs.  I was doing so well and the coin flipped and completely destroyed everything I had done and more.
WI is coming up again on Wednesday.  I really don't want to go - I have been fighting and fighting and fighting to get this weight off and I seem to only gain.
I wanted to have 20 lbs off before dh and I took a trip to Europe to a wedding ( it was totally doable under normal circumstances) - its going to be formal wear.  I am going to look like a big fat cow in a bunch of ruffles.
I hate the way I look - I really do - I don't feel beautiful anymore  - I definitely don't feel sexy.  Faaaaaaaaaaaaar from it.
I shouldn't have to absorb myself in a stringent way of eating and not get another thing done... it seems if I am not thinking about absolutely everything I eat, I gain.  a handful of chocolates in 7 days should not destroy the number on the scale!
I am at a severely low moment and its not going to get better cause there is no way I can lose 20 lbs in 2 weeks. I can't even lose 5 lbs in 2 weeks. 
I'm tired of this, I really am. 
I need to shop for a formal dress - I don't want to do it.  I would rather miss the wedding.
My hair is gross too.  I hate my short hair.  I want my long healthy hair back... but that is just a dream - I haven't had long healthy looking hair for 4 or more years.  my hair just won't grow.  Heck it took 35 years to get as long as it did.
My husband was right.  Don't throw the fat clothes away - I need them now.
I have a very beautiful formal gown but I am too fat to get into it.
