Total Pounds Lost: 12
YES! Victory. A couple of days back to my routine (somewhat, anyway) and the pounds start to shed off once again. Yippie!
Adding to my routine, I finally have my Wii Fit after 5 weeks of waiting. I should have had it last week, but was vested by stupid Best Buy computers.
Even though I am having knee pain and should be sitting down, I cracked that thing open and gave it a try yesterday evening. The Wii told me I am 48 years old - nice, huh? Who cares...this tool is cool and is going to help me more and more as I heal up!
Yay, me!

Day Unknown - My Triumphant Return
Total Pounds Lost: 10
So here I am - back again. This will be a very brief post as I am at work and need to be working on my current project, but I feel terrible that I haven't posted any progress and you all probably thought I had given up completely.
Not true! I had some road blocks (car accident, dad in the hospital, my own knee issues, etc.) that I don't want to use as excuses, but they really helped to side-track me and I put a few pounds back on (EEK!).
I am finally back on plan and have figured out how to try and keep these things from hindering my ultimate goal. Unfortunately, my time line has slowly ticked away and I am in the same place I was a couple of months ago. I received my "rewards" for my first two goals (thanks to Delia, Jason and Kyle), and today I feel I have earned them once again.
That's all for now - I promise to start posting regularly once again!

Days 28 through 34
Total Pounds Lost: 11
Sorry for the long absence. My plan was to blog while in San Francisco, but I was just so relaxed and enjoying my time that I barely cracked open my laptop the whole time.
After 5 plus days in the Bay Area, I really had no confidence when I weighed in this morning, but can you believe I hit another goal!? Amazing. Maybe it was running around after an almost 3 year-old for 2 days or the fact that both kids kept me in a constant state of motion...who knows.
So it is time for my boss to pay up! After stewing over what charity to donate to, it looks like something closest to my heart is the way to go - The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network. After the way my year began and finding that my food allergies have gotten more intense, this seemed like the perfect option for me.
2 goals down, 26 to go!

Day 27
Total Pounds Lost: 9.5
It has been a very hectic 24 hours trying to get packed up and ready to fly out tonight, so this will be quick.
I didn't weigh this morning as it would have been on a foreign scale and I had no idea how it would compare to my new one. I made a management decision and chose not to start my trip off on a potentially bad foot. Starting tomorrow I will be checking my weight on my brother's scale - not sure how that will go, but I will give it a shot.
I have a few work things to finish up before I head to the airport, so that's all for now my friends.

Day 26
Total Pounds Lost: 9.5
Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn. Sooooooo close!
I was really hoping I would hit the 10 mark before heading to San Francisco at the end of the day tomorrow. I wanted to savor telling my boss in person it was his turn to pay up :D
Only half a pound to go - not too bad really, but it is just annoying to come so close and just miss it. On the brightside, maybe tomorrow will work out for me and as my last hurrah before I slide out early from work is to swing by the boss' office to let him know I did it (moreso for the big smile and congrats I think I will get versus the actually money).
And tomorrow night I will be with the kids. I will still be blogging from the Bay Area - I'm nervous about a whole new scale though...hopefully it won't be too too disappointing for me!

Days 24 & 25
Total Pounds Lost: 9
After a very laid back weekend and 2 days of being absolutely miserable, I am back at work and feeling better (even though I sound like I swallowed a frog).
The new scale is working out really well. It has weight tracking by user as well as a BMI indicator - very fancy. I also am wearing my new pedometer today. Odds are it won't get too much of a workout the next two days, but I intend to break it in while in San Francisco for 6 days.
All is well - I am on the mend and hav e areally good shot at making my boss pay up before I leave on that jet plane on Wednesday night!!

Days 21, 22, & 23
Total Pounds Lost: 8
So I have been down with the flu, cold, sinus infection thanks to that nasty virus that has been going around. I was worried with being in bed for 2 days straight I wouldn't lose anything since I wasn't active - apparently not. While my mother lost 9 pounds on the "virus diet," so far I have only lost 1.
I can't complain.
Only 2 more pounds to the next goal and then my boss gets to cough up cash for charity! Maybe I can pull that off before I leave town for San Francisco next week. Here's hoping!
P.S. The new scale came and works like a charm!
