June's Non Scale Victories!

June 3, 2003: For the second morning in a row, I have started my Fat Burn Belly Dancing work out before 6 a.m. in the morning!! It's great to get up and get it done first thing in the morning but, being I used to be the original couch potato, I still can't believe that I am doing this!! LOL :)

Also, last night we went to see the movie The Italian Job and we hit the mall food court afterwards. I had 5 points for dinner and I was going to just grab a cold sandwich but, once I saw Steak Escape, I knew I had to have a hot cheese steak from there. One sandwich is 7 1/2 points though and, with no bank points to fall back on (as my bank starts new again on Mondays), and not wanting to use my Activity Points that I earned early that day, I did something that I was very pleased with!:)

I ordered my sandwich, ate only half of it, figured it as 4 points, wrapped the other half back up and wrote 3 1/2 points on the wrapper, and tossed it in the refrig for lunch today! That way, I got the sandwich I wanted but I did not use my Activity Points for it!:) What's funny, is that half the sandwich filled me up just fine!!:))) Last night, I ended up banking 4 Activity Points and 1 left over Food Point, as I just was not hungry the rest of the night! WOO-HOO!!!!:)))))


June 6, 2003: Hubby took me to Target tonight to buy work out clothes for my belly dancing class that I start next week. Know what fit??? Juniors department shorts and top in a Medium!!! OMG!!!:)))))

Then, I had to show driver's license with credit card purchase, and the cashier said "That doesn't even look like you" I grinned and said "51 pounds ago!!!" To which she told me that she could tell I had lost a lot of weight!! Oh yeah, I am very happy!!!!!!!!:))))))))


June 10, 2003: OMG!! I was in an article in the Wall Street Journal, both online and in print!!:))) Called "Dieters Find Support In Online Community," written by Stacy Forster!!:))) WW.Com put us in touch with each other!!:)))) Ok, I honestly can not even start to describe how cool that was!!!!:)))))

June 15, 2003: Father's Day:) Took hubby bowling for Father's Day and I got a strike the first ball I rolled!:) I also had two games in the 100's and won one of the three games that we played too!:))) Ok, hubby was majorly impressive with the 6 strikes in a row that he bowled in the last game, too! :)

Went to Big Buck's Steak House for lunch and I ordered half an order of grilled chicken caesar salad, with fat free dressing on side, a cup of coffee and a glass of water:)

Then we went shopping at Grapevine Mills Outlet Mall and I walked the entire mall with hubby!!! That was the very first time that I could do that!!:))) We used to have to stop half way around and cut through a record store to get back to entry door, but not today!!! Not anymore!! Woo-Hoo!!!!:)))))


June 28, 2003:  My Reward for hitting the 130's was to go Wall Climbing!:)) Being I couldn't do anything hardly, when I weighed 192.5, I wanted to prove to myself that there's nothing I can't do now!:) Hubby and I went to Dynorock in Arlington, TX and I climbed to the top of a 25 foot wall!!! ME!!:))) I continued climbing for half an hour, making it to the top of different sections of the wall 3 times!!:))) It was one of the most amazing and fun things I have done so far with this "new body" of mine!:) Earned the Wall Climber Charm for my bracelet too!:)) We are making plans to go back there again!!:)))
