Day 65 - Remember Me?

Here I sit - stuck!  I lost 20 of the 40 to 50 that I want to lose and I'm stuck.  I'm finished with the salad and powder packet diet.  I haven't committed to what my next venture will be but I need to find one and get motivated again.  The good news is I lost 20 and I've kept it off.  I've been exercising a lot - elliptical, walking, hiking, sometimes a combination of two and one day this weekend all three.  Still the scale stares back at me in the same spot.  I'm still watching my calories but there is wine involved on the weekends.  Can wine really be a diet killer?  I've been having dreams of someone trying to take my wine bottle out of my arms and I'm screaming like a baby and running away like an Olympian all the while trying to drink the nectar of the gods before they catch me.  Maybe I am too attached to my wine...
My sister came up with a great idea (she's always been good at making and saving money unlike her partner/sister - me!).  She has offered to be a coach for The B Team.  Instead of paying way too much for our powder packets we can each pay her $10 a week and she will tell us what a great job we're doing and even clap for us if the scale goes down the slightest bit each week.  I have to run it by the other member of The B Team but it seems to be the best offer we've gotten so far so we may give it a try. My biggest concern is my sister lives on M&M's and Good & Plenty's.  I'm not sure she'll have much advice for the diet side of the coaching we're looking for.  We better keep looking.
I got my passport photo taken today because my passport expired and I'm heading to Holland.  He took one photo and I looked at it and wondered who he had taken a photo of.  There was what appeared to be a neck on this woman in the photo and yet it wasn't a normal neck - it was a wrinkled old lady neck.  I made him take another one and it looked the same.  You have got to be kidding me ~ that is not my neck.  Well what was I going to do?  I bought the passport photos even though I knew they weren't photos of me.  I'm sure when I go through customs they are going to wonder who the photo of the woman is in my passport.  Just in case someone does confuse me with her I'm workng on a good excuse as to why a turtleneck is now part of my bathing suit and summer attire.  Getting older just keeps getting better and better!
