Another day has came and went and all has been well. Walked 30 minutes today. Eating has been good. No snacking today. Not really anything going on today. So I am going to sign off. Hope everyone reading has a blessed and healthy day tomorrow!

Kelly -- You ROCK!!! Keep up the great work!!!

 

[Blessed99]

Hey Keenercam! Thanks for the encouragement!
Hey Brenda! Where are you??

Today has been another good day! Yeah for me! My eating today has been great. My exercise tonight was a shopping trip at the mall with Kamryn. It was nice to spend some time with just the two of us! We had fun, we always end up at Build-a-bear and she always manages to sweet talk me into a bear!I have had a great day emotionally.

 

[Blessed99]

Well, another day has came and went. Today was successful again. I am on a roll! I ate very well today. I walked for 29 minutes! I am so proud of myself. Its been very hard to keep myself from snacking. But so far I have done it. I keep looking at yesterday and telling myself that if I did it yesterday, then I can do it today. So far its working. I really did not want to walk tonight, but I pushed myself to do it and I am so glad I did. I always feel better after walking. So I don't know why I keep fighting against nothing.. But hopefully I will have a happy and healthy tomorrow!

Kelly,
I have been reading your journal and you are truly inspirational to the rest of us.It is a great motto if you did it yesterday you can do it today- I like it!

Remember one thing though the scale is not always a total predictor of what we are doing.There will be some time with large numbers and some plateaus.I say this so you don't get discouraged.I am at that spot now and have not broken a plateau in a while.But boy do I feel better.

Your DD must be very proud of you to see you working so hard.Does she work out with you at all?That is fun sometimes.

Keep working hard and keep posting!

Linda

Hey,Kelly! How are you doing today? I am so glad that you have been getting your walks in. You will be toning while losing the pounds and that will make you look even better! Keep up the great work! Look at all of your successful yesterdays and think about all the happy tomorrows they will yield!

Hi, Kelly! Welcome to WISH!!! I've been AWOL (and on vacation) and just catching up.

You're really doing AWESOME!!!! Keep it up!!!

Hey Linda, Keenercam and Julie!

Thanks for the welcomes and encouragement. Its always nice to log on and find people truly care how you are doing. Thanks for being there for me!

Linda, Kamryn is my biggest cheerleader She always does my walking with me. She is so sweet to do so. Everytime I tell her if I have lost any weight she always says "good job Mommy!" and gives me a high five or a hug. She is so sweet! I always worry about making my weight such an issue in front of her, I don't want to see her either grow up and be like me or be the opposite because of me and have eating disorders. Right now she is very tiny. She is 9 years old. She only weighs 56 lbs. She is very tall for her age though.

Today and yesterday were both great days for me. I didn't get time to write yesterday, Kamryn and I went to a friends house after work and did not get home in time. Today we had a yard sale and we are both exhausted. I got really bad sunburn on my arms and face and neck. I was not able to get any walking done for the past 2 days, but eating wise, I have done very good. Tonight, on the way home from the store my mom wanted me to stop by Sonic for ice cream, she and Kamryn had ice cream, I had a fruit smoothie. It was very good, and I imagine while it may be high in calories, it was probably less calories than the ice cream. Ice cream is my weakness, but I was able to resist. I have been in pretty good spirits emotionally though. I kind of cheated (something I said I was not going to do) and weighed Friday instead of waiting until Monday, but was very excited, because the scale showed 7 lbs lost!! I was so surprised, but will weigh again on Monday just to make sure its a true 7 lb loss! Hopefully tomorrow will be a happy healthy day!

Kelly,
I am so happy for you 7 lbs is truly a great accomplishment.I know it is hard to stay away from the scale.I was going on everyday then decided this week Monday would be my day-forces me to be good on the weekend.

Explain to your DD that you are eating to be healthy and in good shape.Being "thin" has nothing to do with it.In my opinion the best looking girls are the athletic ones like Mia Hamm and Brandy Chastain not the waify models.Those women are great role models for any young girl.

Yeah ice cream is a problem around here too.My DH loves it as do the rest of us-he's lost about 15 lbs on the Atkins.Not the best but it works for him.

Give your DD a high five for me for supporting her mom so good

Have a great one,
Linda

Kelly -- Maybe we were sending each other positive "no ice cream" vibes yesterday. I didn't order dessert at dinner with everyone else and just drank coffee, and when we stopped at DQ I got diet soda instead of a blizzard that I really wanted. Thank you for inspiring me! You are doing such an awesome job!

To Kelly and Cam the no ice cream babes - Great job ladies!!!

Kelly you are doing so well. I can't wait to hear about your weigh in tomorrow. I have been doing better with my WOE (way of eating) and it feels good to complete a successful day. As I think of dipping into something I shouldn't I have been thinking of your words -

I keep looking at yesterday and telling myself that if I did it yesterday, then I can do it today.

This has really been helping me. I know I need to be consistent with my program and I WILL lose the weight. Kelly we CAN do this one day at a time.

Have a healthy day!

Hey Linda, Cam and Brenda, I hope everyone is doing well. Thanks again for the encouragement!
Brenda, I missed you! I was getting worried about you! Is everything ok?

Today has been a good day but has been harder than the last couple of weeks. I think its the dreaded PMS Its very hard not to want to snack. I did have french fries today with ranch dressing on the side, but it was just a few. I was at my friends house and they were having a cookout/in. My friend deep fried the french fries and she makes a really good ranch dressing, and it was sooo hard to resist, so I had about 5 of them. Not too bad because before this, I would have had about 40 of them. So all in all, I still feel good and successful. I just have to keep reminding myself, that I did it yesterday, so I can do it again today! I did not get to walk today, I got home too late, and Kamryn has school tomorrow, but will definately walk tomorrow come heck or high water! I am saving up for a recumbent bike as a second form of exercise. My doctor reccomended one for me because of some occasional knee pain I have. I hope I am able to get one before winter, since it gets dark so early. I don't usually have too many issues with the cold. I guess its all the extra padding I have, but one day would love to own long sleeve shirts or jackets that would not absolutely burn me up!! I hope everyone has a happy and healthy tomorrow!

 

[Blessed99]

Well, I weighed in today and have to say that it was not as good as I expected...IT WAS BETTER!!! 9 LBS GONE!! WHOO-HOOO

I was so excited about that! it has kept me on track all day long. I have done great on eating, emotionally feel good, the only downfall, I was not able to get my walk in today. Got home too late, although, at work today, we were short staffed, so I done twice the amount of physical work as normal. I know its not the same thing, but am planning on walking tomorrow. Hope everyone has a healthy and happy tomorrow!

Great Job Kelly​

I am so proud of you. Kelly you are an inspiration. Keep it up!! I know you can!

 

[karrenlovesmickey]

Way to go my sistah! 9lbs. is awesome!!!!

I started Weight Watchers again tonight. I gained back 20lbs. of what I had lost, but not all of it, thank goodness!!

 

[Blessed99]

Hey Karren, 20 lbs is better than all of it, and that 20 will be gone in no time!! Hang in there sistah! You can do it!!

Hey Brenda, thanks for the encouragement! How are you doing?

Today has been overall a good day. Not much to report as I am not feeling well tonight. Will check in tomorrow.

 

[Blessed99]

Today was the day, I finally walked again!! 30 mins! Eating was good and emotionally good today. Not much new to report. Hope everyone has a happy and healthy tomorrow.

Anyone still reading along??

 

[keenercam]

Kelly - I am so glad you felt well enough to get your walk in. Great job on another successful day!

 

[Blessed99]

Hey Cam! Hope you are doing well. Thanks for checking in with me!

Today has been a good day. I got my walk in tonight, 30 mins. I had blood work the other day and my sugar was high. I don't really understand but the doctor told me that my number was 122 and they consider it diabetes at 126. I was quite surprised as its always been good before. Any way, she put me on Glucophage. I hope I can tolerate it. Other than that, all is well and it has been an overall good day.

Hope everyone has a happy and healthy tomorrow.
