yeah...jess ordered chinese....ugh....gotta stop getting so hungry that ANYTHING sounds good

Has anyone been wondering where Carissa is?  I know I have and I'm her!  I have been sooooo busy with work lately that I barely have time to breath!  Well that and my new relationship...yes that's right folks....relationship!  Things are going very well!  On a weightloss note...we started an 8 week BL contest at work, I went to my first WW meeting last night (with friends for support) and it is finally warm enough to walk outside!  I did 2.5 miles in 30 minutes on Tuesday.  I am so excited for spring.  Oh and my boyfriend...so supportive of my journey...excellent!  :)

i had a good week...started the weekend off well and the first half of the week.  wed i started going down hill, but i still lost 3lbs this week....so ive lost 50lbs twice!! hehehe....this weekend i havent eaten right, so i feel like i cant get enough to eat and therefore im over eating.  work helps so much though....its very routine so its easier to stay on track. 

 

this weekend has been soooo busy!  i brushed horses friday and sat and then went shopping for show clothes all day on saturday.  im so excited to start a new adventure but afraid im going to screw up!  i stayed at my parents house friday night and actually got to spend some quality girl time with my (other) best friend.  talked too her today and she was so glad we had that time.  yeah!!  just got done eating lunch/dinner....ordered chinese food and WAY WAY WAY too much.  oh well...just no more junk eating this week.  i KNOW i can do it.  im exhuasted...going to bed  :)

on the up side.....im feeling sooo much better!  can eat without feeling sick or getting sick.  the downside,  i gained back what i lost when i was sick and then a wee little bit more.  im up 3lbs....so it just means that since spring has sprung (well not in maine but other places) and its time to get out and walk on my breaks.  that should help.  I walked on thursday but then we got a snow storm on friday!!  suck!  today im going up to brush horses...not too much activity in that....there can be though.....at least im not sitting on the couch all day today.  hmmmmmm....we'll see how the week goes

 

CARISSA!  i want to know about the date!!!!

just shy of 2 lbs this week!  I finally got everything to work together.  I'm doing so well that I finally have the confidence in my body to go out on a date.  I'm very excited!  I'll let you know how it goes!  GO ME!

I have been very sick this week....feeling better but not 100%.  i havent eaten much since wednesday so i had a good weigh in....but for all the wrong reasons.  im sure to gain some back next week but ill deal with that when the time comes.  then again, i havent felt like eating so who knows.  so the big news is that i lost 2.8 this week for a total of 51.2 since june of 2007 and tha also puts me under 200!!  yeah....im pretty siked.  so, going to go rest so i can have a good week at work  :)

Did anyone notice the editing mistake on last nights episode?  We knew Dan voted for Maggie before he 'revealed' his vote!  When he was talking about why he voted the way he did, the camera shot was looking down the table at Maggie and Brit and his plates were already uncovered!  OPPS! 

 

And guess what....I finally lost some lbs!  2 to be exact!  YEAH!

i lost 1 pound this week!  good but not great.  it just means that im that much closer to being under 200.  hoping for that this week.  but when it happens it happens....ive had a basket of chocolate on my desk for when my members come in.  ive been so good...only ate three of them today.  woohooo....made a cheesecake and brought it in last friday and didnt have any of it!  yeah!

All i have to say is....Ali looks fantastic!  The pink team rocks!

hey hey....im here.....just very tired!!  have been spending lots of time working OT last month and last week lots of being out on the road.  I lost .6 of the .8 i gained the week before so im on the right track.  Hopefully this week will be better.  We went out last night with a bunch of my husband's fraternity brothers.  It was fun to visit with the wives/girlfriends while the boys hung out.  Found out that the couple that got married the same day we did has horses!!  so neat!  she is very nice, turns out she has been riding since she was about 7.  She has a morgan/fresian cross baby....id love to see pics even though morgans and fresians are not my breed of choice.  Any equine baby is cute!  Also found out that the couple that got married three weeks after us have a 2 month old.  OMG, what a cutie!  she's a great baby.  She slept the whole time we were out.  Cant wait to do it again...although i think i might just make it a Sigma Nu wives day! lol....could be fun.  Its hard not having anyone your age in the same city as you.  As it is now, I have to drive an hour (north, east, or south) to see my best and closest friends.  Going to go catch up on my shows now!

 

Apparently Jess has gone missing again...I know she is around because I have talked to her!  Enough about that...how about BL this week.  I miss Bernie already!  Honestly, I think the boys made a mistake...Kelly is the biggest threat, she has the most weight to lose on the black team and can still throw up the biggest numbers.  So they, why I ask would you keep her around at this point in the game!  Doesn't make sense if you want to win.  Well I suppose I should get ready for work.  See you soon!

well i weighed in yesterday and it was yet another maintain.  im so tired of maintaining!  yes its good because i know i can do it, but thats not what i need right now.  everyone send me losing vibes this week!

Hi everyone!  Carissa here.  I'm back..its been a long 3 weeks.  Sorry i havent added anything in a while, haven't really had access to my pc.  First i was visiting my bro, sil and neice.  Yes, she is beautiful.  I will add pictures later.  Then i have to go to vegas for work.  ate out for each meal but tried to fill my plates with veggies and watch my portions.  Then i had the flu.  temp of 102.3...it really sucked, but i think i lost all the weight i gained in vegas!  then it was back to Vermont to visit everyone, it is amazing how much Ella changed in a week!  Then it was to Delaware for work.  again, I ate out for every meal and tried to fill my plate with veggies, but it didnt work so well this time!  Then back to Vermont again!  Now, after 6 long hours in the car I am finally home and watching last weeks episode of BL!  i will have my first weigh in in 2 weeks on tuesday.  cross your fingers!

ooops....sorry!  i just have been busy and well, i forgot the password!  good thing carissa remembered.  my workshop went well...carissa has been to VT and vegas all in a week and now she no feeling well.  hoping she feels better soon.  not losing much lately...just a little here and there.  but no gains so that is good.  last weekend i went to bangor and stopped to see an old friend.  I got my equine fix which was great.  I also got to see my other best friend and her kids.  it was good.  this weekend, a friend from bangor is visiting and im headed to freeport on sunday.  eating out both days.  hoping i can do good.  its early, but im going to bed.  im exhausted.  latah gatah!

so....my boys lost....thats the bad...but its good because based on how they played, NY deserved to win!  and the wonderful...my niece was born this morning!  YAHOOOOOO!  I'm an aunt for the first time!  She was 5 weeks early and healthy as can be.  I was so antsy at work today, my legs were bouncing so much i think i lost a pound!  Can't wait to go see her on Thursday...that will be the longest drive to Vermont that I will ever make (6 hours!).   :)  I hope everyone had as good a day as I did!

ugh, jess has had the week from you know where.  started on sunday with OT...but i think i really needed the day off instead.  been trying to work OT and we have been on an inventory push trying to get things done.  we are getting there but everyone is stressed.  basically it all has to be done by eob tomorrow and on top of that, has to be perfect.  yuck.  i did good with dinner tonight....voila and a big salad.  didnt each much today i guess because i still have lots of points left.  so i can have dessert..skinny cow cone...yum....after my "stories" i need to go up and scrap a page for a book for my boss.  has to be done by tomorrow night so i dont have much time to do it.........

hello friends...carissa here...sorry i havent been around in a while...internet issues (ugh)...but im bake and smaller then ever!  Well not ever, but im down another pound!  i have also gotten myself resigned up for WW.  i took about 8 weeks off to see how i would do on my own.  the results are in...i can maintain my weight, but i struggle with losing.  guess that means when i come to the end of this journey ill be able to hold my own!  i went to work this morning and didnt have time to make breakfast so i had to stop on my way...ate half my points in a half hour!  SCARY!  but i made it though the rest of today under my points...it helped that 3/4 of my dinner plate was covered in veggies!  i even have room for a slim a bear klondike bar (2pnts) for dessert...but maybe ill have an orange...decisions, decisions, decisions!  well im off...catch you all later! 

Ooops, been almost a week since we've updated.  Ive done okay this week.  I went to the gym twice this week and walked the treadmill for an hour.  I didnt hang on!  ;)  I definitely felt the difference.  My legs didnt feel so hot when i got done so giving them a break tonight and tomorrow night.  I think i might be doing just a bit too much so we'll get back at it on monday.  time for supper...although i dont know what that is yet!
