Hello, all!
Sandi -- Glad to hear you're back on plan! And great job on being so ahead of the game with your shopping!
Tammy -- It's natural that you guys would experience a period of readjustment. You'll sort through it together.....it must be so good to have him to hold and be near once again, and your daughter must be ecstatic! I'm so happy for you and your family.
As for the eating, I would definitely recommend a sit-down, heart-to-heart with DH he really knows how important your established improvements are to you, and can support you going forward. You'll probably end up talking as much to yourself as to him, I'd imagine!
I'm really glad to hear that you'll be gyming it together, too! I've been focusing on amping up my exercise as well -- you have to maintain the challenge, you know?
Sheila -- I'm really sorry to hear about your cholesterol. That sucks. Well, you can't argue with genetics, eh? All you can do is all you can do. At least you can say that you're doing all the right things and are trying to be as proactive and responsible as you can be in taking care of your body's health.
Amy Jo -- Sounds like you have a lot on your plate, but it comes with the territory of Family, eh? You made me laugh with that "toodle bug." Too cute!
Apryl -- Hope you survived the insomniacs ok and are not too pooped today!
Jazzmine -- I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with the food thing. I can relate. I've had some needling cravings and have been "finding a way" to incorporate a couple of treatskies here and there in my diet this past week. What's up with that? Maybe a period of abstinence is in order?
Good luck with it.
As for me, I'm doing pretty well, overall. I'm still losing, which is a good thing. At 210, I think I'm on track to hit Onederland sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas. A few days ago, I joined this
Every
Day
In
November challenge over at
Video Fitness, and in doing so committed to 26 days straight of daily exercise. As of yesterday, I had 8 days under my belt. What the heck was I thinking??!!
I'm going to do my best to do it, though. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
Speaking of exercise, I've ordered a few more workout DVDs and I'm pretty excited about it! (2 step and 2 weights.) I'm focusing on increasing the variety and intensity of my weekly line-up.
I mentioned my own food struggles. Maybe it's the increased exercise, I don't know, but I'm just STARVING during the day now, and just truly want to eat MORE! So I think I might increase the healthy eats just a tad on the weekdays to head off the hunger, so I'm not as tempted by off-plan stuff. I haven't been going OFF, but it's definitely harder to resist, and my stomach is just GROWLING!
That's pretty much it for me.....
