The day started out so well!

Sorry, I never even posted last week, though I did update my weight last week. I lost one pound last week, and one pound this week. So I am at 175, and have lost 80 pounds!
I was very happy to hit this milestone this morning. Then the day went to hell in a hand basket.

I took my daughter to preschool, and no one was there. They canceled class today, and nobody called me. Since I worked last night, I wasn't too happy that I could have slept in. So we went back home, and Sophie was very upset, kicking and crying. I left for the mall, and she and Chet were going to head to the grocery store after he took a shower. Chet had left his phone at work, so I couldn't get a hold of him. When I got home, the garage door was wide open. Then I went to go in, and the door into the house was open. As I stepped in, our bedroom door was wide open. I started calling for our dog Toby. I'm not really sure what I thought at that point. I was just scared that Toby got out and wouldn't be found. When I didn't find him in the house, I ran outside. I found him in the backyard. I was so relieved, I didn't think much of it. I thought Chet must have forgotten to close the doors. It didn't even occur to me that it could be something else, even though all three doors were open. About ten minutes later, I went to move his briefcase, because it was in my way. It flew open, and when I went to shut it, I noticed that both locks were broken. That's when I realized someone had been in the house. The tv's and computers were still here, so I went into our master bedroom. Sure as shit, my big jewelry box was gone. They also took our two camera's, and our video camera. There was lots of important stuff in my jewelry box. I called 911, and the police came, lifted fingerprints, and talked to the neighbors. I hope they can catch the person. I really want my things back. Plus I would like to beat the shit out of this person.

As much as I want to comfort myself with food, I really haven't. I used three weeklies, which I always do on weigh in day. Usually I use 5 on Tuesdays. Right now, I am very upset, but I can't cry. I hope I don't start comforting myself with food.

Holding at 177

Well, at least as of Tuesday. Right now, I think I am up. Let's hope I at least stay at 177 by this Tuesday. Since I am closing the next four days, it is possible. It will be busy, I will get a lot of exercise, and I won't be home to eat a ton of snacks at night. As long as I don't go overboard when I get home. I have a bad cold, so I have been sucking on cough drops. While I know they add up a little, I refuse to track cough drops. I will have 15-20 weeklies leftover, plus activity points, so I should be okay. I just need to stay out of Sophie's Halloween candy!

I happened upon a bmi calculator this morning. My current bmi is 28.3. I plugged in my starting weight, and my bmi was 43.2. I had no idea it was that high. I had been using the Wii, and they had my bmi in the 38ish range. Although, at that time I was hovering in the low 240's. Also, according to this calculator, I have to get to 154 to be normal, and not 155. The WW bmi calculator has it at 155. The one I used this morning was attached to an ad for a weight loss center near me. It said you had to have a bmi of 40 to qualify for the surgery. So I would have more than qualified. Which I knew, but to see it in black and white is kind of jarring.
