after a lot of thought I knew it was silly to be embarrassed... this place is so awesome and supportive. and I know I'm not the only one who has stumbled in the weight loss struggle The important part is that I am back on track!
Thank you all so so so so very much!
Northern, the one part about venting in this forum that I love so much is that I feel understood! If I say anything to anyone in my family or to my friends, I get evil looks... so thank you for you words!
Emme, thank you for the perspective! I know I always look to how much I still have to do and I forget how far I've come!
Stacy, I have to learn to look at things like that! Sometimes a pound sounds like a ton!
That's awesome, Northern!! It will be great to see the 170s, won't it?
My WI was today and I am at 181.0 which is down 0.4 from last week. That works for me because last week I had lost almost 3 pounds, so I knew it would balance out this week (and I am on TOM).
I'm sore today...might have overdone it a bit on the weight training yesterday, lol. Hoping for a good week this week as I am finally TOM and illness free!
Oh, holy crap...I totally fell off the calorie counting wagon this weekend. And it was fun (sadly)!!! Oddly, I don't feel bad about digging into numerous amounts of food that I haven't had in months. But, I'm up three pounds on the scale this morning (holy *%#!), but I actually don't feel bad about it. I hope some of it comes off by Friday and I'm hoping some of it is sodium and the fact that I didn't drink a ton of water, but we'll see. It was a fun weekend. I just don't need to do it again anytime soon.
welcome, Toonses (I love it, Toonses the driving cat! the cat who can drive a car!)
thanks, NorthernExposure
Emme, I am glad you had fun! but I am nervous about doing the same thing next week when I go to the beach with some friends. I don't want to go overboard but I don't want to be picky about every calorie that I eat while I know my other friends will eat whatever they want. They are both quite overweight as well.
Welcome, Toonses! Congrats on making it to the 180's!
I did OK this weekend. Friday and Saturday were my planned "high" calorie days, but I think I went a little higher than I would have liked on Saturday (so hard to estimate restaurant meals sometimes), but all in all I didn't do too bad.
Emme and Hoki: Sometimes you just have to live a little We have a weekend away planned for Easter break. Going to try not to go TOO crazy, but I intend on enjoying myself.
Novelista: glad you were able to keep the damage minimal!
The important part is that I am back on track!
