Good Monday Morning Everyone
Still a bit too chilly for me to even want to go out and exercise this morning. Thought I'd do a bit of a clean-up in the house and THEN think about hitting the pavement for the first time since the marathon. I need to get out there and back in to my usual routine but I just HATE when it's cold AND windy!
ELI left a little bit ago to go to work, but luckily, he's off tomorrow. We won't be heading up to Broward at our usual time, or going to the usual place tomorrow since it's LAUREN'S birthday. She loves lobster and we'll be taking her to a place up there that is decently priced after school gets out. The place I took her every year has gotten ridiculously expensive and I got sticker shock last year
(didn't even ask the price beforehand!)
My eating is better. It got a bit hairy there for a while and as usual, was hard for me to get back on the right track. I know I'm way up on the scale, I don't need to step on the metal monster to see it, I can feel it in my clothes AND my skin. I have re-committed. Not only did I not like what I saw on the scale (and I'm sure it's now worse than it was), but I came to realize, I'm just 2 months shy of my 3 year SB ANNIVERSARY and I surely don't want to be heavier this year than I have since I met my goal weight. It was time to get down to some serious thinking and tighten those reigns!
I would like to recommend a book I had seen reviewed in one of my health magazines which gave it a good review. I got it at the library and I have to say it's well worth reading. If you can get a copy at your local library, please try to reserve it and read it. It has some very good information as well as tips. I'm not recommending it per se for the "diet" content, but for other very useful information. The title of the book is THE SMART WEIGH and is written by PAMELA M. SMITH. I learned some new things from this book that were helpful.
GRACIOUS, good job on getting the scale to go down. Hope I can say the same soon, but I'm NOT stepping on mine until sometime next week, why torture myself?
TONI, hope DH's first day on the job is a good one. The kids Dad got a job as well and is now in training up north of Orlando for the next 7 weeks. Hoping now that he has a paycheck coming we won't be arguing about what he owes me and how he's going to pay me. Enjoy your "alone" time today!!! Glad you liked the MM messages - I printed them out!
JACKK, sounds like you got a few bargains out there AND in a great size! CONGRATS! I bought a new pair of sneaks the other day at Sears, a pair of Avias that were reg. $39.99, on sale for $29.99 and I had a $10 coupon, so basically, I got them half price. I always look for a good deal on sneaks since I tend to go through them quicker than most people. Girl, no sexy lingerie for this body, never have, never will. I like them big and covering all areas. I still wear stuff that's XXL!
SWEET, glad to see you see the benefits of this WOE beyond what you see on the scale. Keep up the great work!!!
ALEKA, the unbleached wheat flour being the first ingred. in the bread makes it not legal. The rest of the ingredients are fine, but the first should read either STONE GROUND, or WHOLE.
NMS, trust me, the gain is there, you may not be able to see it, but I surely feel it in more ways than one. I have no one to blame it on but myself. Only I did this, only I can fix it, and I will!!!
Were you able to find the agave?
FRUIT, sorry to miss you too, will try again, of course
We'll have to see what people think, do another get together this year, or plan for next. What's a good time of year where it's not too hot there, as well as good for your schedule?
Well, it's now after 9am here. I'm going to get a few things done and then TRY my best to get my butt out there. If not today, def. tomorrow, as I can't go on Wednesday, have an early meeting for Michael's magnet at school. Of all places, they pic IHOP - ick! Oh well, a glass of water will do me fine.
Sorry not to be able to reply to all the posts from last week, please forgive me. Will try to do better this week when I'm able to get on the computer.
Will check in later!!!
