Yeah, Hubby wanted to go see Monsters vs. Aliens tonight. Eh, it was okay. The popcorn was awesome but unfortunately indulging this evening put me over in carbs for the day. Usually if I’m gonna have popcorn I save up carbs to make room for it, but tonight I didn’t know we were going to the movies until well after I’d eaten dinner. Oh well.
I suppose I could have just sat there in the theater with no popcorn. Nahhhh. LOL I’ve never done that in my whole life!
I didn’t exercise today because I’m sore everywhere from the work I did yesterday! It’s amazing that something like raking leaves and squatting down 800 times (to pick up stuff or lay out the mulch we put down) could make a person hurt like this! Ouch!! So I got a grand total of zero stars today. It’s okay, I’ll be back at it tomorrow! Hubby and I are going to do some more work at home since he’s off of work (spring break) and tomorrow’s his last weekday off. We were supposed to go bike-riding but the stuff at home needs to be done. Maybe we’ll go on Saturday.
I’m back to weighing myself every day. I tried it - I gave it a good run - in fact, too good. In the three weeks I didn’t weigh myself, I got a little too comfortable with not weighing myself. *Sigh* Is there no happy medium for me?? Sadly, though, I didn’t lose any weight in March. In fact, since March 1, I gained 2.6 lbs.
I read in someone else’s “About Me” page (can’t remember whose!) that the person was now at the exact weight they had been at for many years - and it was like their body had developed a default setting so it stayed at that familiar weight level. That is exactly where I am!! I weighed about 235 when I got married in 2000 (going on 9 years now!) and hovered between 235 and 240 for more than 7 of those 9 years. It’s been a VERY long time since I was in the 220’s or lower and I want to be there SO bad!!! I’m gonna hafta REALLY work it if I’m gonna push through this stall and get my weight-loss moving again!
And so that’s what I’m gonna do!! April is gonna be my breakthrough!

Raking, and squatting to pick up thousands of leaves for 30 minutes counts as a workout in my book!
YES! April will be YOUR month! You CAN do this Eileen I know you can!

Eileen, thanks again so much for doing this. I’ll pick up my *badge* asap! =) You can do this! I know what you mean about reaching a point your body is familiar with. I was in WW in 1966 and they called those points *set points* (probably still do) and, we can change our bodies set points. I, too, am at a place my body apparently remembers from 1995! LOL But, I am determined to keep going and your challenge page will help alot. Thanks for the daily accountability! I think that is something we have been missing. This month both my food and exercise challenges are different, but, in Jesus’ Name, I can do this! And, you can too! You go, Eileen! Delita
Yeah I agree that’s a workout!
Does sleeping for two hours because of pure exhaustion count as a workout? DAMN!
OK now I’m getting really worried. Sterling hasn’t updated her blog in 8 days, she hasn’t twittered since Tuesday, and now her name isn’t on the w8 challenge list anymore. Anyone know what happened?
You can do it Eileen!
Just keep going. that’s what I keep telling myself. I’m not seeing results but I sometimes hear it from others. There has to be a pay off for continuing to be active and learning to eat right. OH DID YOU see Hveecks post? Her cute little feet on the scale showing her entry into ONEderland! Very inspiring.
i tried to sign up for the april challenge but it wouldn’t let me….if you could please switch me over i’d appreciate it. hope to do better in april! thanks
Okay janthea, you’re switched over! YAY I’m so glad you’re joining us in April!!!
