Angela, GREAT job on the water, don't let the meds and stairs get the better of you. Tomorrow is a new day and you can WIN!!! Besides you are almost to double digits, yeah!!!!
I think everyone jumped ship, come back everyone, we'll throw the life preservers, I promise.
Went to two job interviews today . . . I hate job hunting. One was NOT good, I don't think they were interested in me but that is fine because I have NO interest in working there. The second, was MUCH, MUCH better. I had to meet with the vice-president of the company. Now he is going to set up an interview for me with the GM (general manager) of the restaurant I'll be working in . . . . I'm so excited, it is more upscale, smaller company and everyone I've met has been really nice. Althogh the VP did say that if I was hired as the culinary manager it would be my kitchen and I could run it anyway i wanted . . . hmmmm a little scary since I've worked in the environment where EVERYTHING was already laid in stone . . . challenging, but exciting.
Wow, you Ladies are doing so awesome. Have been reading posts but working too much again. Sorry I haven't been around much. PLease keep all the inspiration coming.
Anna
S. Diane: You've been doing all the right things, so that's a victory no matter what the scale says. Hope the scale is DOWN. I'm going to weigh in the a.m. as well (it's early a.m. here but I haven't been to sleep so I still count this as, um, yesterday). You're doing GREAT on consistency!
Anna: If you've fallen off your challenges, why don't you set one small one and try to just check in quickly on it each day? That way you can be our flawless inspiration!
Here's where I am, as of Sunday.
Water Challenge -- Day 12--success
Meds Challenge -- Day 3--success
10 Minutes Exercise Challenge--Day 3--success
Hi ladies. I would like to join in on the challenges. I just started today and I won't be weighing again until Feb2nd. I don't have scales at home, I weigh at the dr's office. I have been thinking about what to set my challenges at for now.
Water challenge- 8 glasses a day. This is huge for me because I don't drink water. I am sitting here with a big glass and it's almost gone. I'm on my way!
Exercise challenge- 10 minutes a day to get me started. I am disabled and this is going to be really tough for me but I am determined to do it. I have a Gazelle and I think it's going to work out ok.
My weight loss goal for Feb 2nd is 10 lbs.
So today is day One for me. I will check in tonight with results.
Angela, oooooooo, I am soooo excited to see your numbers climb, you CAN do it!!!! Thanks for the good words, and you're right even if the scale doesn't move, I feel MUCH better, more energy, but they did move . . .
sorry, I had to pat myself on the back, (I'm not good about giving myself credit where credit is due) so I am NOT going to feel bad about it
ShiffysMom You've definitely come to the right place . . . so much support here. You have great goals, and I've heard that Gazelle is awesome, would love to try one myself,
Sandy, Ayanna, Renee, LifewithoutHorses (sorry, I don't know your name yet
Let us know how you're doing
Angela for your weigh-in, this AM
Everyone have a great day
My goals the same, maybe it's time to increase my workout level from 1 to 2 . . . or increase the time about 10-15 minutes
Good Evening everyone.

Well I had a tough day yesterday; I just didn't want to exercise and wanted chocolate all day, but I made it, not sure how, but I did. Yes I had chocolate, but two 1/2 squares, which is usually what I have . . . I can't let it go . . . . <sigh>
