He loses a nice chunk of weight, then puts some back on but loses it again. We're seeing me stuck at the same old weight. Bah!!

Why do I see her as MY cheerleader?
It's no secret that I always loved Jamie from afar during jr and sr high as we grew up together in the same youth group. I was the nerdy guy who always thought the cheerleader was out of my league, and she was the girl who knew I liked her, but waited for me to make the first move... which I was too stupid to do...
Anyway... here's some examples of us in high school:
Jamie is the bottom left blond.
Jamie.. still the blond. I'm wearing the purple shirt w/ the mullet.
I'm on the far left, Jamie is ... still the blond, purple skirt, 2nd from the right.
Below: I'm the one trying to kill a child, Jamie is wearing the blue shirt, jeans.

It's Curt again... Yes, I'm alive!!!
Hey all... yeah, what a weird last couple of weeks! Jamie hit the nail on the head there!
This morning's weight loss took me by total surprise, and makes me wonder.... how can there be a 6 lb difference from 6am vs noon? I know we hadn't eaten or drank anything in that time, but gosh.. we didn't do anything but sleep!!! Oh well, maybe that means we need more naps together!
My new shift stinks... it has pro's, but mostly cons for me. I really don't like it. My work has us bid for our shifts quarterly, so I'm stuck here until April where hopefully it'll change. The nice thing is that I'm still working from home, and now that Jamie's not working I get to hang out with my favorite person on the planet all day long!
I'm also glad she's here because, while it might seem that I'm benefiting on the scale, I never know what to make for meals on this diet! Every meal meant a phone call to her asking, "Ok, what am I eating for lunch?"
We both push to not call it a 'diet', but a life change. And I see evidence of this EVERY DAY. While we might not be the strictest Dukan-ites, that was not our goal. Our goal was to make ourselves healthy and happy! And we're getting there!
It's been great seeing the little things that have changed in my body! For instance... I am a T-shirt and shorts guy... if I wear pants, something's wrong. I wore sweat pants the other day and Jamie almost made me go change! LOL!
Well, I've been noticing that I've been having to fold the waist of my shorts over and cinch them up with a belt just to get them to stay up. I've been wearing size 52 pants for.... ugh, years... at least 10 years.
Well, Jamie was shopping for clothes the other day and asked me if I wanted some new ones... SURE! Her next question: what size... ugh... I have NO idea... so, she got a 44 and a 42 to try. Sizes I haven't worn in... again... I'm sure 12 years.
THEY FIT!!! Yes, even the 42 fits ok! Well enough I can wear it in public even! LOL. I was SO happy!! Jamie was too... I've said this before, but having the world's cutest cheerleader in your corner will make you strive to do ANYTHING. Anyway, I've worn them a few times, even on my one day in the office this month last week. I got asked about my weight by 3 different people who could tell a difference! It was GREAT! I can now shop in most normal stores for pants/shorts! I'm elated!
Alright... I'm gonna go have dinner with this beautiful wife of mine. I love getting to take the cheerleader home (yes, she was a cheerleader in high school, when I dreamed one day she'd be mine) and hold her hand all night long.
Have fun storming the castle!!!

Day 51
CURT: TOTAL LOSS: 40.0 lbs
JAMIE: TOTAL LOSS: 16.6 lbs
Curt hit an all time new low today! And it really came out of the blue. He started a new shift at work, working 3pm-11:30pm so the mornings are BRUTAL to say the least. So this morning, he got up with the kids and I at 6:30, weighed in and was 6 lbs up! Then we laid back down for 2 hours and got up and was at the new low! He thinks the scales are broken. I say take it and run! Starting tomorrow, I'm going to go back to posting what we eat. Keeps me more accountable.

January 6, 2012, day 46
Well... neither one one of us is great, but neither is awful either. But... I have to tell you all.. I've had an AWFUL week. I've already discussed the job situation. But I came home Friday morning and had an okay day, but if you ask my husband, and I will thoroughly agree with him, I had been acting "off" for a couple days. But Friday night, I SNAPPED! I know that it was a combination if the stress and the birth control pill, which I've had minor issues with before. Well... this was by NO MEANS minor. I went on total freak out. I was cussing, screaming, hitting walls (I have a bruise on my brow bone that I really have no idea how I got it, but it was from that night), holing up in a room... in a ball... chewing my nails... in a very defensive stance. It was NOT pretty. But, on the bright side, some stuff that had been weighing heavily on my for a few weeks got taken off my chest. Funny thing about all of this, to some degree, was that we were working out that morning and I was reading my sheet for the birth control pills about the side effects. I was worried about the migraines I was having, told Curt to make me call the doctor if I had one in the next day or two. I also noticed I had what they called "breast tenderness." Then I read through the rest, glanced at the part about the mood swings and depression. It came full circle for me less than 12 hours and thank goodness, I recognized it, mentioned it to Curt ad he popped all my pills and I haven't had a problem since. Except my period started over a week early.

Day 41
Curt: no change
Jamie: ???
I'm still not home. I will definitely weigh in tomorrow morning when I get home from work. I've been suffering last night with ALOT of body pain and today, TWO migraine headaches. I started birth control pills a week and a half ago and have had several bad headaches since them, so I'm wondering if they are the cause. I'm ready to be done with work, this job... Then Briyanna, my 13 year old daughter, called me today, upset w/ her dad. He took the doors off her and her brother's room. Now... her brother.. I understand. But she's done nothing. So he told her, no door, no cheer, no church camp until they hand over Facebook passwords. OH! by the way.... they are aren't even allowed on the computer at his house. And there's no TV. It's a bit disturbing. And frustrating. There's nothing I can do over here.

Day 40
PP
CURT: LOSS: .4 lbs TOTAL LOSS: 38.2 lbs
JAMIE: ???
Happy New Year, everyone! For starters, Curt hit a new low today. And I may be off on the math of how much he's actually lost, but I don't have the chart in front of me. And I can't weigh in right now. I've been working day in and day out. I will have done 56 hours straight on Friday morning. So... I have news. Good news if you ask me. I quit my job today. I don't get paid enough to get called a liar and a bitch and told that I'm playing favorites because I freakin' helped someone because they fell down and having a phone call from my boss asking what's going on because my client has locked herself in the bathroom with her Bible and a cross because she's afraid I'm going to hurt her... What the.... anyways... The past month has been this way. I was told, "It's a phase and it will pass in the spring." Yeah... like I said, I'm not paid enough to be verbally and emotionally abused on a daily basis. My boss begged me not to quit and transfer to a new house. Nope... I'm done. I'm going to go back to sewing and hope that all works out for the best. I'm not going to stress out about it. All I've been doing about this current job is stressing out, so I need a break. Today, even tho I'm at work, I've been plotting the sewing business... how I want to do it, what exactly to sell. This is a touchy subject for me. I quit sewing a few years back because my ex-husband decided that it was super manly to steal his ex-wife's sewing business. I tell you what... It IRRITATES me that he's doing it. He has this little piece of paper that says he can work on just about anything that flies. But instead, he chose to steal his ex-wife's business. It's despicable... if you ask me. So now I have to compete with him now.
