SmallSteps - Aw, you've had a big scare! Stress (especially, THAT kind of stress) is tough to keep your routine up in for even those without weight struggles. You'll get back in the swing of things. I've found that I pick ONE thing, exercise or eating on plan, focus on that for a day or two and then add the other piece. Just so you can re-gain the "can do" confidence. Maybe that might be helpful.
Peggy - 238.0 WOOHOO for you!!! Maybe I'll catch you on the next "decade" just as your leave again.
June - Go you, on working out this last week!! Did you decide on a new scale?
Had my 7 yr anniversary dinner last night - sushi. I overate. And not like a little either. I've been SO used to smaller sized meals that that I literally laid on the couch after dinner and was just UNCOMFORTABLE. I went back over what I had eaten in my mind and decided I could have had about 2/3s and been happy. I'm using as a lesson moment. I'll try to recall HOW uncomfy I was, so maybe next time I'll eat a more reasonable amount. Between over eating and the soy sauce me weight is up, but I'm pretty sure its just the salt. In over news, I finally got my elliptical dug out after my husband put boxes all around it. Getting up in the AM for a workout!
