Hello everyone,
I apologize again for my absence. This just slipped away from me and to no surprise, I am not doing well on the weight loss frontier. I am probably at my highest weight ever (non pregnant) and so I see a correlation between my gain and my absence here.
I have not read everything but a few pieces of news stood out to me... RR, you are pregnant?!!! That is wonderful!! Congratulations!!! Please try to keep an open mind about the changes in your body. There is a wonderful purpose for them.
I am so happy for you. By the way, my husband took pictures of me each month and I think it is neat to look at them and see the changes. Good luck to you!
Pryia, first I want to say HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY. I feel like a rotten friend for forgetting you! And Congratulations on the job! What great news! Sounds like things are going pretty well for you and I am happy for you.
(and I miss you)
Hello Rabbit, you always have the ability to inspire and motivate me. I look forward to keeping up with your posts.
LBH, hi Jersey girl! Good luck finding a home. We are paying 1500/mth rent for a 2br townhouse. But that is high because we are living here month to month with no long term committment. We were willing to do that because we wanted to get a place in this town so we could get ds in school. So it's been 6 months and we have been really picky about finding a house. But we are here and there is no pressure to leave so we hope to make a very good, carefully thought out decision on a house. In the meantime we are comfortable enough.
Hi Jul! Good to see you here.
Hello to all the others, that I don't know as well. I hope to stick around long enough to get to know you better.
BFB, thank you for the info on the sports bra. I went to their web site and found it easily. I am going to get one. They are expensive but I expect it to be worth it. Thanks!
Sonya, if you are reading I was hoping to catch you posting. I have always liked your posts, so pop back on and help motivate an old friend ok?
My current status is this ~ Our scale broke. I joined cardio kickboxing at the end of August and go 2 to 3 times a week. I really enjoy the class. I stopped going to WW at the same time I started the kickboxing. I was on WW almost exactly a year and when I dropped out I was a pound over starting. I am not sure how much I weigh but my clothes are very tight and uncomfortable. I wear only my elastic waist pants now. Taking the class was supposed to help me lose weight but I am eating SO much, even when I am uncomfortably full. I need to lose weight to do better in the class. It's like a circle. Lose weight to do better in the class to lose weight.
I am remotivated to do this on my own and today I am starting over. I am going to drink the water (which I have not been doing at all) I am going to stay out of the leftover Halloween candy and eat more vegetables. I know what needs to be done. I've been practicing losing weight for so long and from so many programs. I've decided that being here again is another good step. It keeps my mind on healthy living. I read the thread called How much have you lost? Or something like that. It's like mini success stories and it was helpful.
In other news, we are still in temporary living and doing fine with that. DS is in Kindergarten and it is SO cool.
He is also in Karate which is great. I am teaching 4th grade and have the same kids I had last year. It is amazing! I am really enjoying that. Things are going well in all areas except this weight thing so it's time to tackle it. I hope I can do it this time.
Miss you all and thank you for letting me nudge back in.
Love,
dani
I went home and had a few strong fuzzy navels last night!!
And I love it. We lived out in the country at the time so I wasn't running around that way publicly.
Oh, how I can't wait to have a place with laundry!! Mom is at a Women of Faith conference in Philly w/my aunt. Think they're coming home later this evening. It's just me and the darn bird!
