I went WAY up for a while. I can say that through two 6 week Biggest Loser competitions I have lost (not counting what I gained and relost) a total of 25.8 lbs since October sometime. I wish I could say I feel wonderful but I have a long way to go. </div><div><br /></div><div>I've figured out that 1 month is my max for the emotional/mental limit of dieting. After that it makes me a little nuts. Ok, ok...I'm always nuts but a lot more then usual then. I have a week and 1/2 to go...Wish me luck!!!</div>Steph Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09305864718286163830noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1788533110301484091.post-86631963603446651092011-01-03T09:07:00.003-07:002011-02-07T00:56:48.378-07:00It's been a whileWell...I have lived in Idaho for more years than I lived in Arkansas. 20 years ago on the 2nd of January I started my job here in Idaho. Still didn't have a place to live. Belongings in boxes. Car that didn't want to start most mornings. <div><br /></div><div>Now I have had 9 kids, no real job (Pampered Chef is too much fun to call a job), belongings still in boxes and a car that is not wanting to start reliably (should have exchanged the battery in December so I could get more prorate credit). </div><div><br /></div><div>As someone said at church yesterday as heard on an answering machine..."Please leave a message. I'm making changes in my life and if I don't call you back..you were one of them."</div><div><br /></div><div>What is the first thing you would like to change about your life?</div>Steph Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09305864718286163830noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1788533110301484091.post-69258360832135636762009-07-20T20:03:00.002-06:002009-07-20T20:08:11.637-06:00Since the last post....I have gained and lost, gained and lost but am still within a pound or so of my low weight.

Now onto the raising of the metabolism phase. Eat, eat and eat some more. I haven't been getting 1500 calories every day. I don't know how in the world I'm going to get a healthy 2000-2500 calories.

Keep your wrinkles, stop overthinking what others think, you're a work in progress, find a way to be OK with God and let's just enjoy sticking to each other's kitchen chairs.

I weighed on Friday and had lost .6 lbs.<br /><br />Also YIPPEE!!! I got 1500 calories in today! The Peanut Butter Cream Brownie helped a little! Could have used a bit more protein but the only other one that was off was the fat. It was the brownie's fat too high. BUT if I didn't have the brownie, I wouldn't have had enough calories.Steph Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09305864718286163830noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1788533110301484091.post-3763026890936482742009-05-14T08:58:00.005-06:002009-05-14T09:07:15.416-06:00Day 14-No changeWeight and body fat were the same as last week.
