Lindsay's Not Hiding From Cameras Anymore Journal- comments/questions/support welcome

[LindsayDunn228]

First of all, Susie, thank you so much for your post. If you need some accountability, I'd be glad to do whatever I can to help you. I still need it myself!!!

I had a good day yesterday. Being sick this weekend turned out to be a good thing. I am more aware of what I am eating and how much, and making sure I am staying hydrated. Sometimes an awful experience can teach you a lot. One thing you will learn about me, I always try to find the silver lining whenever I can. My husband recently backed into someone's mailbox. Didn't hurt the mailbox but it creamed our car and cost us $900 to fix. My silver lining? "At least you didn't back into someone's Escalade!"

I try to apply the same in every aspect of my life. I try to. Sometimes it's difficult.

I hope everyone has a great day!!

Hey Lindsay,
Sorry about your car... We have a dent in the side of ours that we need to fix next week... someone hit us in a parking lot and left. I hate spending money on cars.

I am doing better this week... part of last week I had the I can't do this problem... but this week I am doing better. Because I can do this.

I am glad you are feeling better.

I haven't been to your dinner thread in a couple months are you guys getting some lower fat/cal recipies... I should come look. Problem is the low fat stuff doesn't taste as good as your jumbpasta recipie

Have a great day.

Hey Lindsay.... How are you doing this week? Any plans for the weekend?

 

[LindsayDunn228]

Hi all Sorry, I've had a lot on my plate the past few days (no pun intended). But I am alive!

Today we are taking a friend out to eat for his birthday. After doing some grocery shopping we are going to come home and chill out. We have season 1 of 24 from Netflix right now so we will probably watch some of it. Looks like we have a relaxing weekend ahead of us!

Hi Lindsay,

I'm enjoying your journal as I can relate to it in a few ways. One of my biggest motivations for shedding my weight is health. Diabetes runs in my family, and I'm trying to prevent it from setting in as I get older. I also have acid reflux, and losing my 20 pounds will help with that. Plus, I know that being thinner is overall better for my health.

And......the mug matters! It sounds that you love your WDW mugs as much as I love mine. I drink all of my drinks in a WDW mug. I've down to about 1 soda/month and about 2-3 cups of coffee/month for a special treat. The rest of the time, I drink water or diluted iced tea in my Disney mugs loaded with ice. If it's there, I'll drink it. I also keep a mug next to me while I'm cooking and will sip on it while making dinner. I hope that this will help me with portion control when I eat.

Keep up the good work!

Kelly, thanks so much for posting. It means a lot It's so cool to hear someone else into the WDW mugs like me. (<---- we seriously need a mug smiley!!)

I am doing so awesome. I think I have lost a few pounds. I put on a pair of jeans over the weekend that I LOVE but are a little tight (tight meaning uncomfortable to sit in all day). The went on with no trouble!! Woo hoo!! Clothes fitting means I've dropped some weight/inches. Cool eh?

It's freezing here right now. I mean 16 degrees cold. So I am enjoying my coffee today.

Have a great day
