Hello Augusters!
Yesterday I found out a co-worker in another location started IP because I inspired them! That made me feel good. Last weekend was a challenge, so I don't know what to expect this week. I had a friend come to town for a quick visit and we went to see live music at a club downtown. I had planned on staying OP but the party mood got the best of me and I had two beers. My choice and I'm not beating myself up over it. Got back on 100%. I feel like I've been to confession! Thanks for listening! |

Finally, it took, with some great advice and support from the wonderful people on here. I finally made a day 100% and the scale finally stopped going up and took a whoooosh down. That is great motivation to repeat another 100% day and get this really moving again. So, Clarington, hang in there and keep working towards those great days. Maybe we just needed a vacation? |
Hi Augusters, I've been away for awhile, you probably thought I dropped out but I'm happy to say I didn't. I'm still OP although not 100% due to circumstances...the good news is I didn't go off plan to eat other foods, I just haven't been able to eat all the plan meals but I'm still losing the weight, just slower. I'm trying to get back on track this week though, mentally its harder now. Sadly I lost my sister (best friend, companion, biggest supporter) to fatal cardiac arrest on Oct 25, she was resuscitated but passed on Nov 2nd at age 51. This is only 6 weeks after our father died unexpectedly of pneumonia. I am still in shock but day by day coming to accept the reality of it all. I'm feeling abandoned in a way, my mother, father, and older sister all gone way too soon.
I continue to see my IP provider and she has been a great support for me too...her whole office staff has been wonderful. And like I said I'm still losing a few lbs a week but mainly from living on IP ready made shakes..its all I could handle during these weeks. But today I created my meal plan to include salads, 8 oz protein for dinner and veggies...its sounds simple but we'll see. I'm thankful for this forum and the oppty to check in..I did some catch up reading this morning and am still so motivated by all your successes :-) |

The fact that you have been able to stay the course with IP is incredible. Maybe that will give you some small sense of stability in what must be a crazy world right now. Hang in there, do the best you can but know you are facing circumstances than are very trying. Maintain your equilibrium however you can until you can get your routine back. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. |
Kalii99, I am so sorry. And I am also impressed that you are so dedicated and motivated to stick with IP. So glad you aren't forgetting to take care of yourself.
Sending you positive thoughts. |
