Good afternoon Ladies!
I just got back from having lunch with my hubby at Subway. I taught a few piano students this morning and have a few this evening but other than that, I'm work-free!...well, except for housework and we all know that's not REAL work, right? Just something us ladies do on the side... for kicks.
Okay, everyone is talking about exercises to do to "firm up" our upper arms. Somebody, PLEAZE, tell me, what should I be doing? Are there exercises I can do with free weights that will help (we have those)? We also have little weights that I can velcro to my arms? Will those help? What kinds of exercises should I do?
All is well on the diet front and has been since the end of May. ISN'T THAT EXCITING?! I'm excited for Weigh-in Wednesday tomorrow even though this week TOM is visiting. Last week I hit 40 pounds lost and I'm POSITIVE that I am going to show a significant loss this week too...
Kat... Congrats on the decision to make today the day! This time next year, you will be able to look back and say "THANK GOD I MADE THAT CHOICE A YEAR AGO!" Hope you're enjoying that nice weather!
2Cute... Thanks for the water tip! That reminds me...*off to the fridge in search of my water bottle* I think I may be a new advocate of the "Drink Lots of Water" movement. I've REALLY been drinking a lot in the last couple of weeks and I've shown a definite increase in weight loss!... and some of that drinking was actually water!
Mary... That's a couple more pounds down, right? That's awesome! Keep up the good work! I'm hoping to be able to report dropping down below 200 in the next couple of months too! THAT will be a very exciting day for me!
Lucky... We all have diet days that are discouraging. The most important thing is to pick yourself up and start again. Determination will get us where we want to be in the end! Hope you're doing okay...
Baylee... I completely agree with you; I would never opt for weight loss surgery IF there was a possibility I could do it on my own. It's a very serious operation that will have repercussions for one's entire life! It's definitely not the easy fix that a lot of ppl take it for! I do, however, feel that for some ppl, it may be their only chance for survival.
Syn... Hello! I guess you HAVE been away for quite a while as I don't think I've ever seen you here before and I've been posting here for a couple of months now! Welcome back and congratulations on deciding to try again!
J-ann... 7 pounds is awesome! All my pounds are "old pounds", if you go far enough back!!!
Thin... You too! I sounds like everyone is re-committing themselves to becoming a healthy weight! It's great that you only gained 1 pound in all the weeks you were away!
Tina... Just wanted you to know that I'm thinking about you! Hope the funeral went okay (they can be SO hard). {{{Hugs}}} We're here to listen if you still need to talk things out.
Well, I think my book is done.... for now! Howdy to everyone else out there, members and lurkers alike!
