Hi!!!!!
Gee, I have been here for so long............. (hard to believe but I think that the only one here longer at this thread than me is the one and only Jackie!) and I am coming up on 2 years here this August. And still fighting the weight loss battle........
But I am down a few pounds since I started then. Anyway, what got me on this tangent, was I found it hard to believe that Kerrie and Spryng had never met before!! Seems like I have known both of you forever............but I am glad that you finally met and that we are all here.
Kerrie- I hear ya with the exercise. It really makes me feel better too. And one thing that I can add.......sometimes (wish that it was all the time) it gets my mind into the better eating mode and I really watch what I eat. So, keep it up - stay with the excercising- and find an eating plan that you can live with. Many of us are on different plans WW, Atkins, fat free, slim fast...something will work for you.
Mel- Congrats on losing!!!!!
Oh, that time off for you sounds ssoooooooooo yummy. Go for some long walks- work out- keep in touch with some buddies that you have lost track with- take yourself to a movie what ever- or post here a lot to keep yourself away from the food. What about going to an extra WW meeting (would you have to pay? I dunno).Where I live we have a meeting in town- and there are 2 others about 1/2 hour drive away (which is close, we are in a fairly rural area). Take a book out of the library.....craft........whatever and enjoy your time off, K?
Spryng- well you are probably gone by now, but I know what you mean with not being able to leave the house unless it is clean. I am even so nuts that I go out and buy an air freshener or two and leave them out, so that the house will not smell stale (from being closed up for the week). I LOVE that feeling that the maid was just there- and being able to come home to a spotless home.
My family thinks I am nuts- as they do not really help and I will stay up for hours the nite before we leave so that not one speck of dust is out of line...........(ok, I am nuts!
) But I hear ya.....have a great vacation, we will miss you.
As for me, my training course is over !!!!!!!!!!!HEHEHEHEHE
and I am officially on summer vacation. This is the first summer vacation (time totally without working) that I have had in 12 years- for the past 12 years I was self employed and even though I worked limited hours, I still had to go to work. So now on to the housework- and getting ready to go away.
I hope to steal some time for a walk this evening.......
My eating was improved today- not great but better. It would be so nice if I could take off 2-3 pounds before we leave. And I hope to get 5 off by August 1 (isn't that the 5# challenge we set?)
Ok, I have babbled enough...............have a great nite!
