MOUGHI's CalorieKing blog
Friday, Jun 6 2008 - The Reward Jar
View MOUGHI's food & exercise for this day
It's been two weeks since I set up my Reward Jar and I have only gotten to put $6.00 in it.
That means i have been within my 1330 calorie range 6 out of 14 days ! When I said it has been a rough two weeks I meant it. The past two days I have managed ok. My weight is back to 158 which means I have 8 pounds to lose before Aug. 1. I hope that I can pull it off, but I don't know. Today I set my CK goal weight back up to 128, but I will let the body dictate. I have 4-5 inches of fat around my stomach that needs to go. So far I have lost 71/2 inches around my waist that I know of. There was probably more there, but this was when I started measuring myself. I can account for the 7.5 inches for sure. Nadine mentioned the hip/stomach ratio for judging when you should finish your weight loss program. I think that's great. Unfortunately, it took me about 20 pounds to lose an inch around the waist. I only have about 4-5 more inches to go. I wonder now will that translate to an inch to every ten pounds. Thus, if I loose thirty pounds I would be pretty close to looking normal and not five months pregnant ! This is really what I want to see happen, getting down the waist line from here on out.
I will blog more latter on tonight if I have time. See everyone latter if time permits. By now.
I have time to add some more to my blog, but don't have much to say. My daughter just called and asked me to watch her dog, or reminded me I was suppose to watch her dog. I don't remember telling her I would watch him this weekend? I probably did tell her I would but forgot. It's been a wild two weeks for me. Anyway, I have another dog for a day. That is good, I get out of house cleaning this weekend.
Saturday, P. and I have a church dinner to go to, and Sunday there is a great car show we attend every year. These are classic rare cars. I'll take some pictures on my new camera and put some on my blog when I figure out how to down load them. Yea, it's a baby Nikkon 40. Good for a beginner like me. I just wish I had the money to get a really good zoom lens.

Hi Lory. Thanks for your nice comment on my blog. You're so sweet. 7.5 inches is incredible. I'm sure you'll be able to lose 8 more pounds by August. I'm so excited for you and your new camera. I love photography and I'm just getting into it myself. Let me know how you're enjoying your Nikkon 40. Have a great day!

You can for sure do 8lbs by August 1st! You just have had a stressful two weeks, but I have no doubts that you'll get back on track.
:thumbu2: Enjoy your car show, it sounds like fun!

Hi Lory!
Try uploading your pics to photobucket. Then copy and paste the image code into your blog text (where you want your image to appear). If you can lose all of that weight (the kind of weight loss I'm still dreaming of), you can upload your spiffy wiffy car photos too! Best wishes, Cheryl51

I can't believe the prices of zoom lenses! I tried to get one last year and failed because of the cost -- twice the price of the camera! I think its funny how people's bodies differ. I overheard a girl saying that she wishes she could lose the fat in her face...where for me, its the first place it goes -- and I end up "looking" too thin. 8 lbs is doable before August 1st absolutely. You have had a few tough weeks, but just think of that calorie tally like a bank account. You can't take what you don't have!

I think the pounds-lost to lose-an-inch in the waist will fluctuate over time. It'll depend on where you lose your weight first. I've mostly lost inches in my upper abdomen (just below the

:), some in my true waist and none at the lower belly/hip area. That lower belly is the last to lose inches for me. I think you can definitely lose 8 more pounds by August 1!!
