Kukkie, the Dr seemed pleased, poor Dad has to wear a brace, and the recovery is supposed to take 6 months of 'taking it easy'. I've haven't seen 'the list' of restrctions yet but I'm sure Dad will be going stir-crazy before the week is out.
I managed to download a bunch of audio yoga podcasts to my phone, Since I can usually barely manage to download pictures this was a major deal for me.
Penguin--too funny about your downloading skills. Good for you for figuring it out. You're a tech genius.
Although my "official" weigh in day is Tuesday, I usually check the scale a couple of other times a week. I am so used to bouncing between 218 and 223 that when I got on the scale and saw the needle near a "5" I was instantly annoyed with myself, thinking it was 225. But...it was close to 215! As long as I can NOT mess that up this weekend...I look forward to a good weigh in on Tuesday. Fingers crossed...
The wedding was great - it is always so nice to get together with everyone and celebrate!
Ended up a little longer than planned - had trouble with the A/C, got that fixed, then a few days later the power steering went (Hose came disconnected). But we dealt, nothing was major repair, and we still had an awesome time for the most part.
Maybe a little too awesome, I ate and drank (we were in wine country, after all), and completely fell off plan and am up 3 lbs. Back now and back on course today, and feeling more sure than ever that I am eating properly now. I really didn't feel all that great eating off plan.
Persianprincess - Welcome!!
Looks like everyone is has had a good week - Yay!!
morning all, down 222.2 have TOM so hoping for a whoosh when its done. i am finding that i have no urge to cheat or crave anything that i can"t have so feeling very confidant atm
Ate out on Friday, three events in one afternoon/evening on Saturday, ate out again yesterday. Felt like throwing up this morning. Not doing very well over here. Didn't weigh myself all weekend, this morning I'm at 194.0
Jollyjude--sounds like it was worth being off plan if it made you appreciate not just the weight loss factor of being on plan, but also the way you feel. papercut--a loss during TOM is great. I bet you have a loss to look forward to next week too. Kukkie--Ugh. Don't you sometimes wish you could just say no to all events? I feel your pain...I hate when I want to be on plan and then I have events events events. And once I "blow it" at one event, I have trouble getting the mindset back. I hope today turns out to be a decent food/exercise day for you so you can start getting that mindset back. Pounds that just came on come off quicker than pounds that have had time to settle in, says me. Hang in there.
I got in the treadmill this morning and ran/walked for 20 minutes. I've been relatively consistent with being able to walk 5, run 10 (very slowly!) and walk 5. A few months ago I couldn't run more than a few minutes straight, so that's good. Weigh in tomorrow...drinking lots of water today.
Had a really good eat day yesterday, perhaps not enough water. Up 0.5 to 194.5. Immediately after my weigh in this morning, I thought I'm going to take a few days away from weighing in and logging in here; part of me wants to say forget it. But I can't and I won't. Because then I'll just end up back here a few days, weeks, months from now and wonder how far I could have gotten if I had just stuck to it. It's hard. It keeps getting harder. It's frustrating to have been stuck in the same decade for so long.
I also think part of the problem is the onslaught of food allergies that I was diagnosed with in December derailed me. I don't know what to eat half the time. Sometimes it seems like the only things I'm not allergic to are carbs. Ha! I'm going to see a naturopath or something along those lines, and see if I can't get something resolved. A few people have recommended it to me, so we'll see. Anyway, as always, thanks for letting me vent. Onwards with the day.
Kukkie...I was weighing in everyday and just got to discouraged even if I had a loss so I am trying my VERY best to do it once a week 2 at the most! Hope you can figure it out!
Papercut awesome job on the weightloss!
Sarah ...awesome job on weightloss! I started the c25k a couple weeks ago it kills me every week...LOL
Kukkie - Hang in there, hopefully if you can get through this, everything will fall into place and you will feel better - we are here for you.
Not everyone can take the daily ups and downs of weighing everyday, you have to do what is best for you. And vent all you want!!
Sarah - Awesome work with the exercise and keeping up with the water - I find water helps hugely with my weight loss.
Papercut - Good job on the loss, and I am impressed with your positive attitude!
I have lost most of my gain from the food and wine orgy on my holiday. Back down to 171.6 today - only up .6 from when I left.
Kukkie... Down is down, so yay for you!! One day at a time, it all adds up
Papercut....Awesome loss!! I am with you, feeling really positive
Jenjenangel....Keeping my fingers crossed for a great weigh-in on Saturday for you. Don't know which program you are on with a high carb week, but that would make me nervous too- I can't do carbs(except some fruits and veggies) - if I start on them I can't seem to stop
I am down 2 lbs. today to 169.6 - Yup that second number is a 6
I started feeling sick last week, like I was getting a sinus infection, I weighed as usual and gained back 3 of the 5 lbs I had lost. So I got discouraged, then Hubby went out of town for the week and I got depressed, too. So I'm not doing very well, but trying to hang in there. I felt like getting back on my feet and did some yoga from a podcast today.
Hang in there.
- I find water helps hugely with my weight loss.
