I'm home!!! It felt so good to sleep in my own bed last night. Still having that slight discomfort in my side so I guess I will have to go to the Dr.'s next week. So, I didn't weight myself this morning. I just couldn't bring myself to do it yet . I know I should just do it and get it over with. I will tomorrow. However, I am on track today 100%. I don't remember who suggested the Fiber One Brownies but I got a box at Costco and they are a good snack. Hope everyone enjoys their Sunday, wish me luck getting back on track!

Welcome Home - glad to have you back. Great job getting back on track and remember that no matter what the scales says it only temporary!

Hey Guys! I'm home too. Got in last night. I DID get on the scale this AM and I gained about 6 pounds. I really think it will come off with lots of water and a few weeks of REALLY staying on program.

Welcome back!!! You are right, the number is only temporary - get back on track and it will be done in no time!

I've been good since Thursday though and I feel better about being on track and getting back to working out. The weather has been great here so I was able to get out and walk 2 days for 4 miles and 5 miles, and I ran today for 5.5 miles at the gym. Its amazing how much better just getting some exercise and fresh air can make you feel.

hope you all have a good week!

Congrats on getting back on track - it is amazing how much the exercise affects us - good job getting back into the swing of it.

Eventful weekend here -

Weigh in yesterday, down 2.8 for a 15 week total of 33 pounds.
Finish the Couch to 5K program yesterday!
Ran my 2nd 5K this morning in 43:00 minutes - though it was slow, to me it is amazing consider a little of months ago, I couldn't run a minute - now I can run 3.1 miles.

I will be continuing on to my 1/2 Marathon training for my first 1/2 marathon in July - I combined week 1 and 2 of the 1/2 program with the last 2 weeks of the C25k, so this will be week 3 - with a 4 mile run on Sunday

Today is a messed up eating day for me - with the 5k this morning all I ate was a banana. After the race I had a bagel with pb and some fruit, then we went to banquet with no good choices except the salad, which I had two servings of - hoping to get through the night!

Wow, wow, wow, Tammy. Fabulous accomplishments. You should be really proud of yourself. Keep it up because you are fabulous.

welcome back! I know I wouldn't want to get on the scale either...I get so anxious when I think it wont be good.

I put off my official weigh in the past two weeks since I have been a mess since my grandmothers funeral. I just got in a place where I just didnt care about what I was eating and didn't work out at all. Got up the courage to weigh myself at home this past Thursday and it was not pretty...about 6lbs up Holy cow!! I really should have weighed the week before even though I knew it wasn't good; it may have stopped me from going overboard for another week

hope you all have a good week!

I am glad to hear you are picking yourself up again. I was VERY close to my grandmother and she passed very unexpectedly 14 years ago and it is still hard believe it or not. Hang in there we all have your back . It does feel great to get back on track for me too!!

Welcome back, Steph! Hope you had a great sleep in your own bed last night.

Last night I get into my bed and was like, ahhhhh. Did I sleep good.....NO !! My dang husband was snoring ALL night long. He got up after me this morning and he said, it felt so good to sleep on my back in our big bed. I just gave him the evil eye and said what happens when you sleep on your back? Here's hoping for a great sleep tonight.

Welcome Home - glad to have you back. Great job getting back on track and remember that no matter what the scales says it only temporary!

Thank you!

Congrats on all your accomplishments, you totally inspire me!!! Keep up the great work with your training Tammy.

Stephanie,

Thank you for your kind words - you too are an inspiration to us!

I can feel your pain with the snoring husband - my DH works third shift, so I sleep alone 5 nights a week and it is so peaceful - on the 2 nights that he is home, I toss all night long because of his snoring - some nights I just sleep on the couch , I actually sleep better there, than in bed!

Thanks Sandi, although today I had serious doubts about being able to do the 1/2 marathon, I keep thinking this is only 3.1 miles - how in heaven am I going to be able to do 10 more miles but I know I have plenty of time to train and I will be the little engine and keep saying "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!!"

Hi Everyone!

You are all so inspiring.

I just wanted to share this. I microwaved a bag of frozen cauliflower. For the last 30 seconds, I put in a little chopped garlic so it could get a little cooked. Then I mashed it with a stick blender (I'm sure you could also use hand beaters or a blender.)

It was so yummy - kind of like mashed potatoes. I topped it with some low fat sour cream (about 2 Points Plus worth.)

Have a great day everyone!

Hi - I have a question...
I have done weight watchers several times and have had the best success with them so tomorrow I want to start again. The location near me does not have a meeting I can make tomorrow but there is one at another location I can go to. I don't want to procrastinate joining anymore. I have been putting it off since January.

It used to be that you had a card that stayed at your home location and you had to have that when you weighed in there. Is that still the case? I guess my question is - how big of a pain would it be to start at one location and then transfer to the other one? Or could I sign up online tonight and weigh in there tomorrow and then start going to meetings at the normal location? I really want to have my starting benchmark tomorrow so it is important to me that I weigh tomorrow.

Any thoughts? I hope I am making sense!

Good for you - you sound very motivated! It is not a big deal to switch locations. Good luck tomorrow!

Thanks - my motivation came from my mom, sister and dad who have each lost about 15 pounds recently. I just don't want to feel like this anymore!

I was down .4 Saturday for 16.8 in 8 weeks. I wasn't disappointed because I knew Mother Nature was conspiring against me -- and even though this weekend (we had company and visited the International Seafood Show -- samples galore!) wasn't even close to being on track, I feel like I have 5 days to exercise, eat right, and reclaim feeling good about my efforts!

I got off track this weekend so this morning I was up and ready to start my week with good choices.

Get to work and hear a girl from my hometown, died in a car accident. She was 26 w/ 2 small children. It has completely zapped the energy right out of me. Now I'm just ready to get home and hold my son.

I would just go to the meeting tomorrow, sign up and tell them what you want to do - when I transferred meetings, they just gave me my card to take with me to the new meeting, but as with everything, not all meetings are alike in their policies.

 

[DVCBELLE]

I went to the meeting and they said since they are computerized now that it is easy to move to the other meeting! I am excited to start - the points are really different with the new program...

I'm glad it worked out for you. I didn't think it would be a problem. I can't wait until our meetings become computerized!

I hate when Mother Nature does that . Good job on the .4 it all adds up.

Hang in there, it's never fun to hear about such tragic events.

Ok, so I got the courage to jump on the scale this morning and I am 5lbs up. Not too bad considering it was 2 weeks of eating out. I am also hoping at least some of it is water weight. I've had no problem getting back on track though so, I am very happy about that.

Sorry about the gain, but I'm hoping there was at least one in there - ohh I can taste it now - great job getting back on track, that 5 pounds will be gone in no time!
