Losing Weight Makes You Look Younger

Yes, it is true, that losing weight will make you look younger! Sometimes you have to let the skin get used to the weight loss, but the proof is in the picture. Not only do you look better physically, but you have more energy and you have more confidence in yourself. My soul has always been young, so now I have to make sure that my body feels the same way. It will take losing more weight and working out, and I am prepared to do both. I am worth it!!

On Friday, there was a small piece of ice cream cake and on Saturday, there was a small piece of chocolate Cake. hmmm maybe that was way too much desserts. I have such a sweet tooth!!

You Can't Go Crazy!

Just because you are doing well on a diet, doesn't give you a license to go crazy off it at any point. It is so much easier to gain weight than to lose it. I have increased my intake but I have maintained the weight loss. Herman has gained close to 10 pounds. Can you believe that? He has eaten more than lately, but not to have gained so much. He needs control and a regiment, so today we started the 13 day diet again. I will make sure that he eats what he is supposed to eat, but I may add some points to mine, so that I will eat the minimum amount of points required by Weight Watchers.

Do whatever it takes to lose the weight, but DO IT!

Breakfast
Black Coffee = 0 points
Lunch
3 eggs = 6 points
Veggie stir Fry = 1 point
Tomato = 0 points
Dinner
Chicken = 5 points

Total = 12 points

I should be eating 18 points, so lets see what I tack on to this.

Sea ya!!

Well my weight loss was not too good, only one tenth of a pound down, but I am hoping that the chinese food, I had yesterday, had something to do with it. I also had a small piece of cake and pudding. I can't worry too much about the number on the scale. I just have to continue my plan and keep fighting for my goals.


We took a long jet ski ride on Saturday and we had such a fun time!! We are so lucky to have paradise in the backyard!! The Keys is such a beautiful place to live.


I have a gift certificate for a massage and a facial at the Marriott in Key Largo, that the girls and Herman gave to me about a year and a half ago for Christmas lol lol . Guess what, when I reach 139, THAT is going to be my reward lol The girls couldn't believe that I haven't used it yet, but it's hard to make time. I am glad that I still have it, because I am definitely looking forward to using it!!!
