Month #2 Goal Met!!!

This morning the scale said 249.4 for a loss of 2.4 lbs. this week. That brings me to a grand total of 22.6 lbs. lost in 2 months/8 weeks!!! GOAL MET!!! I'm going to do something hard this week. I'm going to stay off of the scale until next Friday's weigh-in. I've been on it every day this week, watching it go up and down, up and down, and it's had me tied up in knots. I'm just going to eat within my calories, get in some daily exercise, and whatever happens next Friday, happens. It's going to be tough....I'm addicted to that dang scale...but our relationship is a toxic one, lol.

I'm headed off to the unemployment office shortly to sit in line for 3 hours and then find out how to file for an extension. I've been laid off since February and my benefits run out at the end of this month....and still not one single call for a job interview. Say a prayer for me that things go smoothly, because in about 3 short weeks, I'm going to be penniless if I can't get an extension worked out. Say a bigger prayer that SOMEBODY HIRES ME!!!!

I just ran into a girl named Tina at Fat Girl Dives In and I put her on my blogroll. I'm so excited because we're neighbors! She lives in Atlanta too! Tina, if you're reading and you know of any Accounting positions....Pleeeeeaaaassseee let me know! :)

  2. Awesome weigh day! You know how I feel about scales anywhere near our house. Everyone is different, but I think instead of helping me, weighing everyday would seriously mess with me. Every week for you---every two weeks for me. It's all good. I highly recommend you throw them away or give them to someone. Because if they're not around you can't weigh on them!

    I think your plan is wonderful!

    I'm praying that your job search becomes fruitful really fast...

    My best always,
    Sean

  8. Great job on the loss, and small world about realizing Tina's so close by. She's a great blogger, one of the first I started following when I got into it.

  11. Congrats to you Tammy. Good job! I wish I could get down 10 a month, but for some reason I just am not being very good. Why oh why, I wonder, do I self sabotage? Anyway, keep up the good work.

  13. Congratulations on meeting your goal!!! That is a lot of weight gone - great job!!!

    I have that same toxic relationship with my scale and try to weigh once a week or less. It just messes with my mind otherwise!
