I'm going to join you guys - I always wanted to be a one of the cool kids
I'm eating fake ice cream right now - vanilla yogurt blended with blueberries and frozen raspberries and frozen peaches. It's so good. It was supposed to be more of a smoothie but I guess I added too much frozen fruit
If my travel scale is to be believed (Hi Ian!), I'm in the 189.x range now! I'm going to wait until I get home and get on my regular scale before updating ticker and announcing my arrival in the new decade thread, but I'm pretty excited!
DH points out that the travel scale was consistently 1 lb high at home (true). I'm afraid to rely on that, though, because I've started following Ian's directions for weighing and I wasn't doing that at home and because I'm afraid that the airplane flight and the different tile floor are making it lie to me and I don't want to get my hopes up too high!
I'm cool. Hi Beth. Yeah, you are right to be cautious. That way you only get a nice surprise when you get home. The main thing to use the travel scale for is to get an idea if your weight is going up or down while on vacation. The precise "final" weight needs to be done on your main scale when you get home. My travel scale helped me keep in check and make sure I was continuing to lose weight while traveling. So if the travel scale weight keeps dropping (or staying the same) you're good!
My share of the day is that I have bought two Versace men's belts. 32 inch waist baby and dropping!
DD says my license portrait is "unfortunate"--I'be lost a lot of weight fr my face.
Share of the day--The jeans I brought on vacation are all a bit loose. I guess I'll be taking tucks in the waist after I get home. It's a great feeling to shrink out of my clothes!
Was the recipient of a fist pound by the security guy at a bar once he saw my driver's license pic!
Nice!
Yep, the ankle did okay, but it seems that I can only do about a half-mile of walking/running (more walking than running, even on the short sides of the track) before it decides it's had enough fun for the day. I figured I'll keep the 1/2 mile as a starting point and work to get it up to 3/4 a mile next week.
Share of the day: I did seven miles on the stationary bike in 30 minutes today. That's an extra mile more than I usually do!
Hope everyone had a great holiday! We just took it easy during the day and took the girls to see fireworks that night. I must admit that I did overindulge in the fruit pizza that DH and the girls made (red, white, and blue fruits of course). It was SO good. I will be so glad when it's gone.
Share of the day: I finally spoke up today and told the family that I don't want treats brought into the house anymore. I am so tired of trying hard all day long only to succumb to temptation after everyone else has already gone to bed and the cookies/cake/whatever start calling my name.

Good for you! I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself. There is no reason they can't just bring the amount of treats they are going to eat THAT DAY so there is nothing left laying around late at night when we're all prone to making bad nutrition choices.
Hey everyone. Here's my share of the day:
I'm a "boredom eater." It doesn't even have to be junk food, just food. And since I'm a calorie counter, things add up quickly :-(
Share of the day: finished week 1, day 1 of the Couch to 5K program. Did my workout just around the cul-de-sac while my girls rode their new bikes. We had so much fun out playing as a family. Can't wait to do it again.
That's great dewittmba--exercising and playing as a family is terrific!
My share of the day: I shattered my cell phone yesterday and so it's in being repaired. It's only been 1/2 day and I already miss being able to scan in my food for MFP!
Share of the day:
Today I realized for the first time that exercising has become completely "normal" for me. It now feels as natural as eating or breathing. Not like some form of cruel and unusual punishment that I always thought it was but just... "normal", a part of everyday life. Huh. I'd never have thought I'd say something like that.
