What a cute moniker!!! I think we need to create a gold cup or trophy award that says 150's and mail it to each member who makes it to the 150's! You can keep it for as long as it takes another member to make it then you mail it to them...How does that sound??? Tangent attack...I get sidetracked easily!
Welcome!!! Tiggerkeeper is right...this is the LAST time you'll see the 180's, the 170's AND the 160's!!! We're gonna hold ya to it! And you've got plenty of time before that wedding...so let's get at those pounds!
Tiggerkeeper..I LOVE your attitude...and I sooo needed it today! Had a 6 hour drive today...I'm beat...but I did avoid sugar and most carbs..except for the breading on my chicken fingers...still haven't heard on our house and the builder in the state we're supposed to be living in is pressuring me to close or he'll market it....we put SOOOO much into that house and I hate feeling pressure..we just can't handle two mortgage payments..SELL HOUSE SELL!!! (Meaning ours in TN, not AL!)
Zeraspride!!! I firmly believe you need a good solid day or two off a week when you're regularly exercising...listen to your body..when you're too tired it's telling you to rest...also just because you're not exercising try and keep your water intake up there...it's easy to miss out when you're not craving it after a big workout. And blast those scales!! I was up 2 pounds and had no carbs/plenty of water and really sticking to my guns...but I'm sure there'll be a whoosh tomorrow...I think I've had too many salty foods. But your scale is most likely reflecting a blip...I had lots of those when exercising regularly...your muscles demand things at different times and today it's demanding water....it'll let it go soon!!!
TOY STORY DUO!!! AAAAGHHHH!!! I WON'T HAVE IT!!!!! A P..P..P..POUND is HUMONGOUS!!! My husband's doctor had a sample of how much a pound of fat is and it looks bigger than a mountain of 4 butter sticks...it was all lumpy and gross. YOU NO LONGER HAVE THAT ONE!!!!! And your awesome workouts have undoubtedly tricked your body into thinking it's training for a marathon so some weeks it may try to reserve some energy...once it knows this is a habit and not a month out of the year phenomenon...the weight will steadily come down...just don't let your discouragment turn into cravings...that's my hardest...I talk myself into sabotaging myself "Gee...Tara you were sooo good on your diet...so disciplined...and you only lost a pound...you deserve a cookie!"
YOU DESERVE A BIG PAT ON THE BACK and HURRAH for one pound gone!!!!
Sadeeyore...I didn't realize it was called Nottinghamshire...I went to Nottingham and walked the grounds of the castle ruins...even went to Sherwood Forest and that little museum they have there...that was one of my favorite areas. We're taking our kids there for their first trip abroad and trying to plan what all we can see in 10 days...not much I bet!
When we both make it to 150's by then..you can guarantee I'll ring you up!!! Stay strong and I hope the sun starts shining for you soon and all those pretty flowers get into bloom...that always sparks my energy up!
Off to try and figure out some way to exercise!
Can't find my WATP tape (guess I packed it up) and there's no way I'm getting back in that car after a 6 hour drive by myself listening to AM radio!
ONWARDS & DOWNWARDS!!! Let me know about the trophy..I'm serious...I'll buy it myself and snap a picture of it so you all will want to keep it at your house!!
