I had my first slip up....I cheated on the scale I don't know what came over me..but Sunday morning...I just wanted to step on the scale...and guess what...it wasn't that great a feeling!

I've been eating on plan still! I can't believe it...I just realized that I've made it a full month...31 days! Yippee skippee!!! (gotta love the bananaman)

Tomorrow starts a new month....a short month

Have a great week!

Hey Gail - Great job on the loss!! And way to go keeping OP during your DS birthday. That can be such a temptation and you got through it with flying colors

Keep it up and watch more of those extra pounds just melt away! Your persistence WILL pay off.

Have a great Tuesday!

Confession time....I got on the scale again tonight...I'm still doing great with eating...still not even tempted to cheat...which is the most important thing. But I just felt like I needed a little reassurance that things are going well. Things are going along smoothly and pretty boring...I've got exercise back in my life...food is good...I guess I just needed that scale as a reminder that I'm doing okay.

Tomorrow is Groundhog Day...I hope spring is around the corner!

Hey Gail - Sometimes we feel that we've done so well with exercising and eating, but getting on that scale just reassures us.

I'm with you on Spring being early

Hi, Gail! Well, I am really behind on reading journals, but I am glad to see you are still doing well! If you want to come stay with me in Mississippi for a while, you can! It hasn't felt like winter here yet. This week is the first week it has been even a little chilly and I still didn't need to wear a coat except one night this week. Most days it still feels like it IS spring! So come on over for a visit!

Great Job Gail!!!

 

[Lizzydoll73]

Hi Gail - I am always on the scale too. The past two weeks I've been on it EVERY day but here is what I found. I weigh myself everyday and the scale does not change. Then on weigh in day it jumps down, only a pound or 2 but it moves that last day. I have been getting discouraged during the week when it doesn't move so I think maybe I should only weigh myself on weigh in day. Moral of the story don't worry about the scale. Keep up the great work you've been doing with exercise and food and you don't need to rely on what your scale says.

Have a great day!

Way to go Gail! Have a great weekend!

 

[DisneyEnthusiastic]

Not much to report...same ol..same ol!

Have a good weekend!

 

[sarahsmom73]

You have a great one too!

Well, I almost forgot to update my weight. There has been so much going on. We're in the process of trying to build our first house! It's rather stressful! First we had to be approved for the construction loan, now we are trying to find a lot. We already have a builder and the house we want...we're just trying to find a lot in the area we want to move to. So, please keep your fingers crossed for me and say some prayers.

On a very sad note, a good friend of DH committed suicide last night. It's been a real rough day. He's taking it so hard. It was one of those things where noone saw it coming. No note...it's an awful thing. More prayers please.

I do feel stress...want to eat...but won't. This isn't about me. I have to stay strong.

Weight was 214..down 1.5.

Sorry to be a bummer.

 

[Tera]

Hi Gail- I'm sorry your stressing out right now. We built our first house when we lived in St Louis and it was pretty stressful, but exciting at the same time. I hope everything works out.

I am so sorry about your DH's friend. Death is hard enough to deal with without them doing it to themselves. Does that make sense?

On a happier note, congratulations on your loss. I know this is a tough time, but keep up the good work and don't get discouraged.

 

[sarahsmom73]

I am very sorry about your friend, Gail!!! It sounds as if you have major stressors in your life! Be sure to take a minute or two for yourself sometimes!!!

 

[Tasha+Scott]

Hi, Gail! Hope everything works out finding a nice lot for your house. Sounds like things are coming together on your house so I am sure the lot will too. Sorry to hear about your Dh's friend. That is terrible! I hope he is coping okay. I will send prayers and PD you and your family's way!

Thanks Tera, Jen, & Tasha.

Just had to get on here and remind myself of something. As I start thinking that I'm feeling better since I'm eating better and exercising...which can lead to disaster...the comfortable zone. As I was driving my DS14 to school this morning, we were talking about how last year at this time we were on our cruise! Then it hit me...I was 10 lbs lighter last year at this time!! So...there is no comfort zone here!! I have work to do. I've gone 5 weeks of WISHing..no cheats! And lost 13 lbs..so far!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day! Gotta go exercise
