Coondocks - I feel your July pain! Only lost 1.6 this month. Bah!!! But I didn't workout nearly enough the past month. Must do better!
Me too, weddings, out of town visitors, illness, tempramental toddler . . . I let too many things give me excuses.
Not this month. I've downloaded an app for my blackberry so I can keep track of calories and exercise on the go, it should keep me on track and motivated.
Down .2 today to 203.6. My back injury is acting up again and I'm not happy about it. I was sick (really bad allergies that were affecting my ability to balance, so working out was impossible), then worked out one day, and the next day my back was hurting, so I haven't worked out for another 3 days. Bah! I hate it! I feel like a big lump on the sofa :lol. I've been trying to stay sort of active within the confines of what my back will let me do, because I don't want to make it worse by complete inactivity. So I've been doing light housework and getting up and walking around the house and yard for 10 minutes or so every hour. It's not hurting nearly as bad as it did the last time, but I don't want to do anything that will send it in that direction. I'm hoping that once AF is finally gone, the back pain will let up a bit - because I think the standard period lower back pain is making the injury lower back pain feel worse (if that made any sense ).
Anyhow, I had a great July, weightloss wise. I lost 9.8 lbs, which is my best month in ages. I didn't think it was going to happen, but my whoosh came through for me in the last week.
July was a bust for me! Vacation, family visiting, kids home from school. I'm so glad for a new August beginning. I'd like to lose 15 pounds this month. I'll weigh in tomorrow and post my start.
Well July was really good for me (lost 15 lbs) - but that was also my first real month back on plan, so that's part of the loss too. Anyway hoping for a good August, hopefully 10 pounds will be gone and I will be that much closer to onederland! Up .2 today, but I expected it because I had a whoosh between July 30 and 31st, so that's OK...I know it's nothing to do with what I ate because I was on plan.
I'm still so emotionally upset from the car accident that I'm barely eating. I am just NOT HUNGRY. Thought of food actually makes me nauseated.
My plan is to let today be my last day of wallowing in self-pity, and then get my act together by getting to the grocery store and restocking on fruits, veggies and lean protein.
Diana - I did only gain 1.5 on my vacation, but the 2 weeks leading into it the scale sloooowly started to creep up. This month is a new chance! Thanks for pointing out the seemingly obvious
Coondocks - aww, thanks! I've never really thought of myself as persistent, and yes, I will be giving it as much as I can! I have an out of town guest who LOVES to eat out, but luckily the rest of us are managing to over-rule her! Last night we ended up at Carlos and Murphy's!
I have to admit I am avoiding the scale, I have TOM, so thats part of it. Tuesday after a good nights sleep I will though!
