Good morning, everyone! I couldn't believe that today's thread hadn't been started when I check at 9:00 (Nebraska time). Apparently, I was so deeply disturbed by this that I couldn't even type the thread name correctly.
Sorry about the typo.
So, I know I haven't been around much. I took off early on Monday because I haven't been feeling like myself for the last couple of weeks and then didn't come in on Tuesday. Yesterday I just didn't have much of anything to report.
Things here are still super-stressful. I saw Aaron last night and have decided that it's probably best just to end things completely with him. We've both hurt each other too much and I know that things will never be the same, even if we did get back together and he made all the changes he's promised. The pain we caused each other will always be hanging over our heads and always in the back of our minds. We may be able to forgive, but we won't be able to forget. This is going to be the hardest thing I've ever done, especially because I still love him so much.
On a brighter note, I've had the WORST week (almost two) as far as eating goes, but somehow managed to be down 1.6 last night at WI.
I don't know, but I'm not complaining and I am getting right back on track today because I don't want my crappy eating to catch up with me next week. I'm only about 13 lbs from goal.
So, what are everyone's goals for the holidays? I've set mine... My original goal when joining WW was to be to goal by the time I went on my (now cancelled) cruise, which would have been November 30. When that got cancelled, I wanted to be to goal by the end of the year. I know I still have time, but with the holidays approaching, I don't think I'll make it to goal. So, here's my goals for the rest of the year (and into next year):
Between now and Thanksgiving, I'd like to lose another .4 lbs. Yeah, not that ambitious, but I wanted to be down 2 lbs and since I was down 1.6 last night, I only have .4 to go. I'd like to maintain through Thanksgiving and between Thanksgiving and January 1, I'd like to get to 157. I know that's only like 1 and 1/2 lbs, but it's going to be difficult during the holidays with all the parties (translated=eating) that will be going on. After the first of the year, I'd like to lose the remaining 10 lbs and be at goal by March 6. Lifetime by April 17. Cross your fingers for me, ladies! I think they're all reasonable goals, so hopefully I can reach them. No, wait, I can DEFINITELY reach them (Gotta start with the positive winning attitude now).
JenL--I wish I could offer some input about Starbucks, but I've never been to one. Most likely they do. I think pretty much everyplace has an option for decaf, because a lot of people either don't drink caffeine or can't have it.
Lori--Aruba? Oh my goodness, I am SO jealous! Have you been there before? I've heard that it is one of the most beautiful islands in the world. Have a great time! Your plan for eating sounds like a good one!
JenK--Hello!
Kier--Have a good day!
OK, I better get a little work done now. I'll stop back in later!
