Hi everyone. I haven't been able to get to the boards much lately, but I got some information that I thought might motivate some people if I shared it.
That is all such great news! It is incredible how strongly your body is able to move you toward health when you lose some excess weight. Congratulations!
Hi everyone! I'm in a great mood because (1) I leave for orlando tonight! We'll be at WDW for one week, then are driving to Ohio to visit family for a second week! Wish me luck keeping on plan! And (2) I was down 2.2 lbs this week, which means I met my mini-goal of losing 30 pounds by Disney! I am so psyched!
Have a great trip and congratulations on meeting your goal! You can definitely keep on plan - listen to your body and your wise-mind most of the time and you'll be fine!
I'm down 2 pounds this week!
Now I'm just one pound from my new clippie.
We will get those new clippies next week, you and I! Good luck this weekend. Having a plan is half the battle!
I slept in and didn't do my WI this morning, so I'll do it tomorrow.
Ah, the hidden benefits of being the weight-keeper!
I don't know what we are doing Sunday. Probably mowing a lawn. It seems like it will never end. At least I will not be able to mow since it is a little difficult to do that on crutches.
Good luck with preparing for your surgery. You are cracking me up with this idea of mowing while on crutches!
I was proud of myself last night being both healthy and green by walking to the grocery store. I was stressed that I needed to pick up some items since we are bringing a side dish to a friend's house after work tonight. I've had to work late every night this week, so spending a little time with DD and working out is all I've had time for once I get home. Anyway, last night I decided I'd walk/jog the mile to Super Target, get the items needed, and walk back.
I should be feeling really positive about my WI and last night, but there are some family/personal issues bringing me down. I know they won't get better on their own, but I'm a bit at a loss for how to fix things.
Kudos for shopping under your own power! That's so good.
It's a shame that you can't fully enjoy your weigh-in success right now. I hope the situation improves for you soon or you find a way to improve the situation.
I was walking a student down the hall and another teacher was walking behind me. As she passed she said "I hope this doesn't sound weird, but I've got to tell you how great your butt looks in those jeans." I was thrilled. Lots of people at work have commented over the past months about my weight loss, but this woman has never said anything (not that I gave it a lot of thought). I was feeling fat because of my gain this morning, so that really gave me a boost!
It just goes to show, the scale doesn't know everything!
I named her Daisy because of her voice (lol) she is tiger striped with calico=Torbie.
Oh, the kitten sounds so cute. My mom and sister have fostered feral kittens before. I hope it goes well for you and this little one. It sounds like she's in good hands. I'd love to see a photo.
QOTD: Weekend Plans?
Where to even start! Lots going on including a picnic tomorrow, a lot of driving and two birthdays during the early part of next week. Not to mention Father's Day which we are going to observe today instead of Sunday. I am not sure what I am going to bring to the potluck, but it is BYO grill items which means Morningstar Farms Veggie Dogs and Gardenburgers for us, I'm sure!
I am not getting my 30 pound clippie today. I had a loss of 1.8 and I missed the 30 pound mark by .2 lbs on my official weigh in. Two hours later, of course, I was well under, but I'm just going to say: Next week. Next week..... By which time I will be enduring a lengthy family visit in a very dangerous environment. I have a plan, though, and am not going to get derailed this year as I have every previous summer around this time. I started thinking of all the dangers. The ice cream place, the cookie place, the fudge place, the Sunday brunch, the Italian restaurant. The other Italian restaurant. The gelato cafe. The pizza place. The other pizza place. The third fabulous pizza place. My SIL's kitchen with pies and donuts at all times. Three birthday cakes. The dinner theater. The cocktail parties. The bunco. I could go on. You get the idea.
So to that effect, these rules:
1. We are not buying any cookies to bring home. But each child A cookie, maybe even share a cookie, but NO big box of 1 dozen huge cookies from the cookie shop. It's just a bad idea. I know this from sad experience.
2. Ice cream- same as at home: Only when out, one scoop or cone once or twice a week.
3. Plan healthy meals at home instead of going out.
4. No donuts, no pie, no ice cream at Jeanne's. They are always there, always offered, the answer is just always going to be "no." I don't like them, don't want them, won't eat them.
5. When ordering pizza out with DH, order a small to share and a salad w/dressing on the side.
6. Follow the training plan.
7. Keep up with my daily health/weight loss reading (brainwashing) to keep my head fully in the game at all times.
All that plus continuing to track my food on WW online and keep weighing in with the BL challenge, and I should get through the summer right on track!

, Pamela. You are doing all the right things, it is so frustrating when it doesn't produce the results we want! It is just a matter of time as your plans are well thought out and executed. I think our bodies try to hang on to the weight sometime even when it shouldn't but then it finally lets go. You can do it! Have a great week-end!
And I checked back over the past two weeks and it seems the more I exersize the less I lose. I even tried to eat some of my flex points last week to make up for the extra work outs and I guess that back fired. This week I am eating right at my points target for the week and doing 4 days in the gym at 1 hour cardio each time. A little less than last week but not much. If that doesn't work, I will try to increase my food intake a bit to see if my body thinks it needs more. I am so frustrated but I am not giving up. And I have really been enjoying my time in the gym.
