What in this picture, does not belong?

I was doing good, until I got to the checkout line.

But then I added a (king size) Reese's to my healthy odds and ends.

I can usually resist the loads of candy, that are on BOTH SIDES of the checkout lane. But sometimes something just comes over me, and I grab something.

Sometimes Little Debbie gets me too.She's like, "Hey Brittany! Is that you?! Girl, I haven't seen you since that one time you ate a whole box of oatmeal creme pies all by yourself, while watching that one chick flick. What was the name of that movie? UGH, that's gonna bug me. Watch, I'll remember it after you've walked away. Any who, lets hang out! Come on, it'll be fun!"

And I'm like, "What the hey. Get in my cart girl!"

But then other times I'm able to walk on by, and pretend she isn't calling my name. Even though it's slightly awkward.

I guess you win some and lose some.

I did share my Reese's with the hubs. That's gotta count for something.

Are you able to resist the checkout line candy?

After almost 6 years of marriage...

...We finally got ourselves a toaster.
I have no idea what took us so long. I think it somehow got turned into a game- let's see how long we can make it without a toaster.
Answer: 5 years, 7 months, 11 days, 18 hours and 35 minutes.

My husband was excited to have a toaster strudel.I took one bite of his, and that was enough for me. Reading the ingredients and nutrition facts on these things, will help you do just that.

And I couldn't wait to get my hands on a nice and toasty
BLT, with turkey bacon.I like mine lightly toasted.
My husband likes his burnt.
Who knew? :)

Can you live without your toaster, or do you use it everyday?

Daydreaming....

Not much going on here.
Just daydreaming about cupcakes. With sprinkles.

What are you daydreaming about?

A TMI, NSV

One of my new years resolutions is to drink more water. I've been doing pretty good, but I feel like I've been taking mad dashes to the bathroom every 10 minutes!

Today, I was doing the dishes, and I had to "go". I was almost done, so I thought I would finish the dishes, before taking the 100th bathroom break of the day. The sound of the running water was not helping me "hold it". Soon I was doing the potty dance, as I tried to rush through the dishes. Finally I realized that I couldn't wait for the last pot to be loaded into the dishwasher. I had to go NOW! So I RAN to the bathroom, quickly pulled down my pants, and... you know. When I was done, I pulled up my pants, and when I went to button my pants, I realized I had never unbuttoned them! Confused I thought, "Can I seriously just slide off my pants?" So I tested it again. I slid them off, and slid them back on, without ever unbuttoning them! And I was pretty happy about that.

The scale may not be moving, but my jeans are looser!

Have you had any recent NSVs (non scale victory)?
If so, high 5 to us!

Baby Steps

Want to know a key to my success?
Baby steps.

I have baby stepped my way through this entire weight loss journey.
Here, Dr. Marvin, from What About Bob, explains it better then I: "It means setting small, reasonable goals for yourself, one day at a time. One tiny step at a time."

I baby step my way from minute to minute. From meal to meal. I baby step my way to the gym, each and every time I go. I probably wouldn't make it there, if I didn't. When I'm at home, I don't think about everything I need to do to get in the pool, at the gym. I simply think about what I need to do to pack my bag. Then I think about what I need to do to get in the car, and drive. When I get to the gym, I simply focus on getting to the locker room. And then finally, I take baby steps to getting in the pool. Baby steps.

"All I have to do, is take one little baby step at a time, and I can do anything."

Thank you Dr. Marvin.

ADDICTED- Diet Dr. Pepper

I've been doing pretty well on the diet front these past few days. (Yay me!) Today's weigh in had me down 1 pound, putting me back at 167. It would have been nice to finally be past 167, but at least I lost the weight I had put on during my diet funk.
Brittany does in fact have her groove back...

With one small exception....

This week, I've been having a full on love affair with the Doctor.
Diet Dr. Pepper that is...
I know, it's bad. It's unhealthy, and it's a forbidden love.
But what can I say?
"I'm A Pepper"I always have been...
It's just so darn good!

But this seriously has to stop.
I've had more diet Dr. Pepper this week then I'd like to admit.

I need an intervention.

Any words of advice?
Do you have a guilty diet pleasure?

100% Random

I like crossing my legs. It's something I couldn't do when I was 206.
It's a sweet little victory for me each and every time, and I'm reminded of how far I've come!

Last night I had a dream that some little kid was throwing rocks at me. Every rock would hit one of my joints, and I was annoyed at how good the kids aim was. When I woke up my joints were killing me! Now the dream makes sense, lol. I think I'm going to have to get my remicade infusion every month, instead of every two months... nerds.

This mornings weigh in had me at 167 for a 2 pound loss this week!

Where the heck is TOM?! I thought it was coming, but it must have taken a wrong turn somewhere...

I was awarded the versatile blog award again. This time by Deb and Kelly. Thank you ladies!!

I'm LOVIN' these ring pops!! They're seriously the perfect snack!
Don't forget to enter my giveaway for a chance to win them!

I have baby fever like no ones business! It comes in waves... and I'm in the middle of a huge title wave!

That's about it. I hope you survived the trip into my head. If you're a little dizzy or disoriented, don't worry, it should pass within the next few minutes
(If symptoms last longer, seek medical help. Deliciously Healthy is not responsible for any long term effects;)

Thank you. Come again.

I'm Rockin' It!

My husband was worried guys would try to pick me up at the gym...
I think you're good honey ;D

My bathing suit is FINALLY here! I'm rockin' the swimwear, and I'm ready to get in the pool!!
...Even though I might look a little nerdy ;D

I also rocked my weigh in today!
168 baby!
That's a 2 pound loss this week!

Not Quite

I got the sudden urge to try on my goal dress. I kept telling myself it wasn't going to fit yet.... but in the back of my mind, I was hoping it would.Nope.
Not even close really.

Wait! What if I suck it in?!
Like really hard?!Then again, maybe not. That made me a little light headed.
Someday.
You watch.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go ask my husband if he can help me get out of this!
I'm stuck. Hopefully we won't have to cut it off ;D

The Scale and I are NOT Getting Along!

After the scale told me I weighed 172 this morning, for a 1 pound GAIN, we've been giving each other mean glares all day!It's been mean to me for the past 3 weeks (In that time I've lost 0 lbs), and I'm not going to forgive it, until it apologizes, and tells me that I've had some kind of loss!
I mean come on! What did I ever do to you?!

Between you and me, I think little miss scale (is your scale a girl? I think mine is. And she's ALWAYS PMSing!) is starting to go a little crazy. I'll step on the scale and it'll tell me one number, and then I step on it again, and it tells me something else! It goes back and forth, until I give up! On top of that, it never tells me I've lost .5 or 1.5 pounds anymore. It's always the exact number. I've either lost, or gained 1 or 2 pounds, and never anything in between.
Poor thing has lost her mind. I think I have to get a new one, before miss scale makes me lose my mind too!

Any suggestions on what kind I should get?

Well, there you have it. I've gained a pound this week, and the scale and I are officially not speaking to each other!

Oh, and it's TOM... so maybe that little monthly gift has to something to do with it too...

Whatever ;D

I Have A Couple Quick Questions For You...

I'm starting to notice some weird things going on as I'm gradually getting smaller. I'm wondering if anyone has ever experienced these types of things, while losing weight:

First of all,
Where the heck are my boobs going?!?!I was a DD, but after I had lost about 12 pounds, I realized I was a D! I knew that my boobies were going to get smaller, but I wasn't expecting to lose a whole cup size, after only losing 12 pounds! Am I going to lose a cup size with every 12 pounds I lose?! I'm not going to have any boobies left!
Anyone?

2nd of all,
I've lost 1 love handle, and not the other!
Seriously.
What the heck people?!I'm not losing weight very evenly here. Not in the sense that I'm losing it in my arms, and not my legs, I mean my left side, isn't quite catching up with my right! Is this common? Has this happened to any of you? If so, does it eventually work it's self out? Is my body playing a joke on me?

Thanks!

On a side note:
My Tuesdays weigh in, had me at 187!!! That means I'm down 2 pounds since last week! I'll admit, it wasn't what I wanted to see (I was wanting to see 186-185), but I'm happy with it. I'm happy for every ounce I lose!

Am I Supposed to Fit in These or Something??

Seriously??

These things are tiny! And this is my size!
First of all, it's a serious workout just to get these suckers on!
Then, once you think you've won the battle, and can move on with your life, they roll down, or they create a serious muffin top that's totally unflattering, and just straight up wrong!

I think a skinny chick somewhere is playing a joke on me.

Does everyone have this problem? Or am I just nylon illiterate? ;0)
