Journey to lose 100 lbs. (support welcome)

[frogmommy]

Hi Jackie!

Isn't it great when other people start noticing your weight loss?

Please take care of your foot. I know it may just be a temporary thing that will go away on its own, but I would hate to see it get worse. Better to treat it so it doesn't become a problem later.

I decided to make an appt. for my foot. Experience tells me things don't usually just get better on their own. I call the podiatrist I've seen before for a totally diff. foot problem. Unfortunately, the first appt. isn't until a week from Thurs.

My son has been really sick and now I'm getting sick. My throat started killing tonight.

Weight loss is good, though. I'm having fun trying on some of my old clothes and finding they fit again!

Hi there,

Sorry to hear that your son is sick. And now you are getting it! Yuck!!!!

Hope you both get well soon.

Take it easy until you are able to see the doctor....hopefully they will find whatever is wrong!

Keep up the great work, and get well soon

 

[frogmommy]

Ugh Jackie-

Sorry you guys aren't feeling well. Get some rest and take care.

(p.s. glad to see you have an appointment with the pod.)

 

[eeyore25]

Just wanted to pop in and say hi!!

Hope everyone is feeling better!

Keep up the good work

I'm feeling better. Never got as sick as I was expecting. But I did take it easy at work and with working out for a couple days. Went to Curves today though and will go tomorrow (I don't usually go Sat., but I missed two days mid-week). So, my foot feels fine now! Figures- as soon as I make the appt. We'll see, but I'll probably keep it cause if I don't it will no doubt start hurting again! Probably skipping those days at Curves this week helped my foot.

Hey Jackie-

Glad to see that you are feeling better. Good for you for taking it easy, and good for you for making up your workouts.

 

[J4Dis]

Well, I didn't exercise today as I'd planned...mostly just laziness on my part.

 

[J4Dis]

Gave into temptation on Tues night and overate at the mall. The mall is so tempting...so many smells and good food everywhere. Even though I ate before I went, I think I had let myself get over hungry earlier in the day. I had resisted a lot of temptation over the weekend.

I'm feeling good though. I feel better about myself and like the way my clothes fit.

 

[frogmommy]

The food at the mall can be tempting. Don't worry about it, today is a new day.

I'm glad you are feeling so good about yourself. Isn't it great when your clothes start to fit better?

 

[goldcupmom]

Remember every day is a new beginning. Don't sweat the days when you just can't keep on track. You will do this, but it is a journey.

Have a great week!

Congrats on the better fitting clothes!

So glad to see things are going well for you. Isn't it fun when you can get back into clothes that didn't fit but use to? I have been experiencing that lately and it's been fun. And things are looking better now than when I originally bought them. It's like Christmas in my closet!!!!

Keep up the good work.
Keep on
Chris

I obviously haven't been very good about journaling.

The good news is that I'm down 50 lbs. from my all time high weight! I feel soooo good! Really, I can hardly believe how great I'm feeling physically and emotionally.

The not so good is that I'm having more and more trouble staying OP. I'm cheating more and I really don't want to get back into bad habits. I still need to lose about 60 lbs.

 

[Cruise04]

That is really great Jackie!!!! You should be very proud of that, I'm proud of you!!!!!!

Keep up the good work.
Keep on
Chris

 

[frogmommy]

50 pounds lost is fantastic!!!! You have every reason to be proud of yourself.

Now, just remember how you got here. You can do it!!

 

[J4Dis]

Not much going on here. Busy w/ lots of Halloween activities for the kids. I've been really good at resisting the treats. I know I'm going out to lunch on Mon. w/ coworkers, so I'm trying to be good until then. I've already decided I'll be getting a salad w/ dressing on the side, but still it will be a treat and more calories than I normally eat for lunch.

Scale's been stuck all week. I hope to see it move again tomorrow!!

Goal for tomorrow is to get some exercise. I didn't do any today.

Thanks for the support

 

[J4Dis]

Things are going well. I have eaten NO Halloween candy!!! I was tempted, but I'm kicking this sugar habit!

A couple other successes:
Went out to lunch w/ everyone from my dept. I got a wonderful big salad w/ chicken breast, fresh veggies, and mango and orange w/ the dressing on the side. I wish I'd resisted eating the bread. However, this is a good choice compared to the pasta and pizza most people had.

Also, on Tues. I really exercised my willpower. The previous two Tues. nights I got takeout on my way home from work. This was becoming a BAD habit and I broke it! I really thought about it as I was really craving some Mexican. That 7:00 time is when I'm weak so I'm going to play to eat something before I leave work and not be starving when I drive by all the restaurants.

 

[frogmommy]

Congrats on all your recent successes Jackie, especially for resisting the candy!!!

 

[J4Dis]

Not much going on here. Finding it harder to stay on track with food choices. So, I'm trying to compensate by exercising more. Still doing Curves and enjoying it.

 

[frogmommy]

Good for you for sticking with the workouts!!!!
