I should know better by now!

I jinxed myself in my last post by saying how happy I am to be in the green zone! I had absolutely no restriction yesterday! When will I learn? Also, I think I overindulged in the salt department (not to mention chocolate department) and my scale did not reward me with my end of month #'s! As of 3 days ago, I was down 7 lbs for the month but as of today, it was only 5:( Oh well. A loss is a loss and I at least lost 1+ lbs per week on average in October.

Something is also going on with my (.) I last got it on 9/20! I keep thinking its coming but nope...nothing. You know I will be getting it during my vacation, right? Either that or I am pregnant! Oh, yea, that WOULD be my luck. Lose 40 to gain 50 anyone? No, that is so not likely but its making me nuts just the same. While I am too old to get pregnant, my doctor told me in Aug. I am no where near menopause so what is going on I ask you!

I am at work right now and I'm thinking that I need to go home and pack as we are leaving tomorrow. I have a good idea of what I am bringing and its really only for 4days that I am packing for so I should be fine.

I went shopping the other day and bought an $8 tankini! Yes, you read right, $4 for bottom and $4 for the top. It was at Bealls and was 70% off plus I got another 20% off the total. That just never happens to me. I also bought two pairs of capris and many tank tops that were $2-$5 each. I needed some summery things for the Bahamas and I got them! Don't worry though, I still plan to do some shopping in Vegas while Steve is at the trade show.

I am bringing my laptop also so I will be able to keep up with my blogging. I know that helps to keep me accountable and I have all of you to thank for that. This has been such an integral part of my weightloss journey. It is so comforting to know that I can sign on anytime to get support and hopefully, to give support to others.

Which reminds me, if there is anyone reading this who I am not following, please, please, please, leave me a link to your blog!

I really want your life. Is it just me or does it seem like you are always jetsetting off to somewhere fun? 5 lbs in a month is great - especially considering you don't have a lot left to lose.

Great loss! And have a great holiday. Very jealous!!

Hope you have an amazing time.

I do know that fat stores estrogen so as we lose weight our hormones get all screwed up as the estrogen is released. I'm way past menopause so can't help you more.

Just think if you had gone topless with the tankini you could have saved $4!

Hey Mama! Are there pictures of the Vegas trip yet? Since you are such a jet-setter we should meet up in Palm Springs some time! Who's with me?
