Charlie is here

I know TMI but at least I know that by Monday my weigh in's will be more accurate. I lost another .6 lbs since yesterday.
For the past 2 days I've been walking to the nearest park with my daughter. I'm not sure how far it is but I'm guessing at least a mile round trip. She doesn't walk I push her stroller. As she gets older I'll make her walk part of the distance. She loves playing on the swings and the slides. Plus it gets me out of the house where there are all sorts of temptations and it's burning calories right?
I've now been drinking my cups of tea and I really haven't seen much difference. I guess my monthly could be throwing things off wacky but I thought I would at least feel a difference. But NOPE! The oolong doesn't seem to be doing much and the spearmint just smells awesome! I love the smell of it. It reminds me of my Dad when he tries to quit smoking. He always smells of spearmint. Sometimes I think I might be becoming my mother with all the crazy diet experiments I've been thinking of doing. I remember once my mother drinking a concoction of white wine vinegar and garlic twice a day because it was suppose to burn fat and be good for your heart. YECK!!!!
I'm in a funk today but I think it's the cramps. I really don't feel like doing anything especially work. My boss is driving me insane with all the stupid requests! He's a nice guy but sometimes ...AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!
I hope and pay that everyone loses a little more.

Naturally

Well, of course! I decided yesterday to stop sabotaging myself and get back on the wagon. So this morning I get up and count how many days until my "Cousin Charlie" comes (AKA menstrual cycle). Wouldn't you know it, at the end of this week. This means I'm going to retain water and not lose any weight this week what so ever! AAARRRGGGGHHHH! I still won't quit!
I have also decided to try this oolong tea everyone is talking about. I started last night and I'm to drink a cup of it after every meal but not too close to bed time. I is suppose to help you lose weight and speed up you metabolism. We'll see if there's any change. I'll let you know.
I'm also trying spearmint tea. This is suppose to help with excess hairy bits. I'm a bit hairy and it's getting on my last nerve to pluck the hairs every morning. So I read in Woman's World magazine that drinking 2 cups of spearmint tea per day for 5 days is suppose to help. I also started this last night. I will drink a cup after breakfast and one after dinner. I purchased it at the local health food store. It's loose leaves so I had to buy a tea infuser but it was so much cheaper and easier to find than bags. I will let you know if it works or not.
I did lose some of my water weight from this past weekend. I'm down to 240.4 lbs. I wonder if I'll make it down to 237 by Friday. I'm keeping my hopes up but since Charlie's coming I doubt it.
I hope everyone keeps losing.
