Hello All,
Well its day two of being on track and all is well. It helps that my DH made a gorgeous chicken and vegetable stew yesterday, which is both filling and low in points.
Carol – no, sorry I didn’t see your little ‘soap box rant’ which thread was it on? Thank you for your very kind words about how I supported you when you first started your weight loss journey. I was happy to do so, and of course to carry on doing so until you get to your goal. Well past that actually as you’ll want support in maintaining. I need support too, and will be happy to have yours; this definitely is a give and take site which is why I love it so much. You are doing so great with your weight loss, how many sizes have you gone down since you first started?
Kayley – what a shame that you had to delete your FB account. It’s amazing isn’t it when you aren’t in high school but still come across supposed adults who act like they are still on the playground! I’m sorry you had to deal with such rubbish. My last name is Spiby so feel free to find and add me to your new FB account. That is unless I find you first lol.
So no wedding bells yet, you still determined to be a slim bride then? Well whenever you are ready to tie the knot I hope I get at least a virtual invite lol.
Annie – my friend, so sorry I’ve not had chance to email you lately. I promise to write ASAP, which hopefully will be tomorrow. I’m glad you went to PT and have some exercises to do for your hip placement. Are they very painful? Talking of pain, that Wii My Health Coach should be called the devil lol, she pushes you and boy do you hurt afterwards. Then right at the end it tells you how many calories you’ve burned and you think WHAT! All that pain and so few calories lol.
Dgramie – I love how you set yourself daily goals, and I’m thrilled that you are just 1 lb up from your lowest weight. You must be thrilled about that.
I love the sound of your hair cut; do we get to see a photo? As for the lip and eyebrow waxing, I hear you on the pain. I was on IV steroids a few years ago and they made me very hairy. I had hair from the top of my lip, my chin, and a small amount from my cheeks waxed. Ouchies! And I had to get the bus home with my lovely red sore face. Oh well it was worth it. I’m way behind on the news, so forgive me asking, but whose wedding are you going to in 3 weeks?
JuliaDH – good for you for only eating a handful of those choc chips. I bet it would have been way too easy to have eaten the lot. You definitely deserved the pampering you gave yourself.
I love what you wrote “Let's go girls and make the choices that will get us to our grand goals. No more messing around in pity parties. One day at a time. Together we can do it!” That’s so perfect, I think I’m going to make a sticker with it on and put it on my fridge.
I’d love to add you to my FaceBook. I’ll PM you my details.
Jill – what made you decide to go for WLS? I know it must have been a hard decision to make. Do you have a date for it yet? I really hope that having it done won’t cause any problems for you when you are ready to try for children. Let’s hope you’ll have good results from the tests you had especially as they were so painful.
Catherine – hi, it seems that you are as busy as ever, are you ever going to take a rest!! How did the sales of your book go? Did you have book signings etc, or is that only for famous people??
Beth – I wish we had a bigger living room, then we could exercise together, that would be fun. You did great today, I wonder if we’ll both be aching tomorrow lol.
Purpleorc – Ouchies, your lovely ballet move AKA your fall onto the toilet cistern, and then your accident with sitting on the pill bottle when you got in your car, you must be very sore. I hope your bruise will be gone soon, and the pain you have too.
I don’t suffer with fatigue as you explain it, but I do feel tired all the time because of the meds I have to take for my skin disease. That’s what makes exercising so hard. I’d much rather be in bed. But I’ve really fought the sleep urge and have made sure I have done my 30 minutes of exercise. If I sleep every other minute than those 30 I’ll be happy lol.
Oh yeah you are right, it does help to know that I’ve lost the weight before so I can do it again, but on the other hand it just makes me so angry at myself that I was stupid enough to put the weight back on after working so hard to lose it. Still, that makes me more determined to lose it and NOT put it back on ever again!
Debbie – good on you for resisting the AC urge and getting back to coming to 3FC for your encouragement and then carry on with your day, which I do hope has a little AC in it. I enjoyed our visit the other week and can’t wait to do it again. How’s your town looking now? I paid enough into the town fund to get a bridge and it’s supposedly being built now lol.
Heather DW – hi. Sorry you hurt your finger and that your nice home planned meal ended up ruined. Nice that you got to eat at Subway though. I love their food, my fave sub is the Subway Melt, but it’s naughty, so if I go now I’ll just have to have the normal Subway Club. I watched the Biggest Loser a year or so ago and they said that when you go to Subway you should ask them to pull all the bread out of the sub. That might be good for you, but that’s just nuts, you’ll be paying so much for the shell of a sub, not for me LOL.
DCHound – well done on spending a bit longer on your recumbent bike. I’d love a bike like that, but I just don’t have room for it. I kind of got the next best thing with the hand/foot cycle.
Jacquie – well how’s that for a bargain lipstick, a little pain and swelling, but you have the shade for a lot longer lol. Seriously, I’m sorry you had a reaction to the lipstick; I hope your lips are back to normal now.
Well you’ll be pleased to know that the time I have spent on this was the time I normally spend on FaceBook, sooooo, the addiction is abating lol. It’s time to go visit over there now that I’ve caught up here. So take care all and I’ll be back tomorrow.
Hugs,
Ammi
