A quick fly in to wish everyone a wonderful holiday weekend. Looks like we are having some wonderful successes and losses!!!
You guys are awesome!
I posted a .6 lb loss this week - thus, I am continuing to be the turtle in this contest. Oh, well - it makes 12 lbs. since the start
It just isn't gonna come off any faster at this point in the journey I fear.
UGH, girl, now you are making me wanna dig back into the book. I just don't wanna cry and get all sad. I mean how deep does that cutie patootie dig? I have some serious mother & abandonment issues that I'd rather not go back to.
I had a great 4th. I did eat WAY too much though and the scale says "you're up!" lol. Better hit the GYM today and get my 3fc 5k done.
We were getting all the fireworks ready to go last night on the front porch, and in the front field, we saw 3 deer! OMG, they were SO beautiful! They saw us sitting there and they just kept coming closer and closer. Then they started playing and running around in circles. it was so cute! I've never seen them that close before, much less playing! I almost cried, lol. Then after they took back off into the woods we started our annual show for the neighbors. It's so funny, because I think they look forward to it. We saw them all setting up their chairs on their front porches, lol! They are legal in TN, so the tents start setting up mid June here, plus we have yr round firework stores. I'm telling ya, it's like Christmas. We do the cooking, and have the togetherness, and do the show. Only difference is it's fireworks instead of presents, and it's hot. :P Fun times...Fun times!
So what all did you do???
I'm so jealous - both of your legal fireworks and the deer! Deer are way cool!

Danielle~ Wow! That sounds pretty deep. After the party I'm gonna try and get to the book store and pick it up. If I can't get there today then definitely tomorrow. I'll let ya know
Catsgetnhealthy~ Glad to hear that you've been on plan
Roni~ He is a cutie patootie isn't he ?! He's always so well dressed (even if it is workout clothes) and put together. I'm glad you had a nice 4th! It sounds like a really nice neighborhood. I wish we could do that with our neighbors. Our neighbors are to worried about being better then everyones else. Your lucky! Fireworks over here are illegal . People do them anyway but I don't feel like going to jail...LOL! It was a nice day for me and the family. We went to breakfast/lunch then we went home for about and hour or two so the baby could nap. When she woke up we went down the the beach and watched the firework show.
Tina~ I'm really glad you patched things up with your mom and had a great time!
Have a great day
How was your birthday party?

Personally for me I found the journey Bob takes you on extremely enlightening and empowering and I could not be more grateful for his knowledge and his honesty. Did you know that he was abandoned by his dad too?? He has no relationship with him and that is something that he deals with to this day. I honestly believe that going thru this book and doing the work can be as powerful and wonderful as you are willing to make it. I think by getting down 'n' dirty with it only allows you to heal that much quicker to move on with what's important in your life. I have hung on to alot of past issues to where they were blocking me from reaching success. I have mentioned before, it was not easy, it took me some time to confront it but I did, and yanno, once I started doing it, the more I did not want to stop. The release emotionally is so uplifting and gratifying that you just want to find the key to unlock the rest of it as soon as possible. It's been almost a couple months since I completed his book but I still go thru it and glance almost everyday, reading passages or glancing at notes I've made. I am trying to practice daily all the tools he's given me to succeed. It has truly made a difference in my life, and not only with weight loss! So Roni, it's up to you, do you want to confront your past so you can heal or do you want to keep on with the same ole same ole and have things stay as they are?? The choice is totally up to you.
Lonnie, I think you will love Bob's book. Good luck to you!
Cathy, good to see ya hon!
Alrighty, well I'm off to get my hair whacked off & then grocery shopping. Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th!
♥danielle
I just got back from grocery shopping! And I think we should see the hair cut! I need to get mine cut again. Once it's in the 110+ temp out here, I would like it as short as possible!

I didn't do much, just lazed about the house and tried not to eat everything in sight. For some reason yesterday was a hungry day (probably due to getting up at 5:30, and having nothing to occupy me). But I made it in just under the wire, so it's all good. I did the July 4 5K today, and was able to finish in 47:45, which was a lot better than I did the day before (60 mins).
I was really dreading my official weigh-in today, as the scale has been showing that 2lb increase from vacation everyday, but I was determined that this week I would put it down no matter what it said. I jumped on the scale, closed my eyes, and waited for the beep. When I looked down at the number, not only had I lost that vacation weight, but I had dropped another 2lbs!!! I'm so thrilled!!
Congratulations on your loss! That's awesome!

Stay strong, enjoy the fun and sun
12lbs is awesome! Slow and steady does win this race and you're so awesomely close to goal! You rock!
Things here have been pretty quiet. We don't have family out here in AZ, not really so we don't usually do the holiday type events. Makes it easier to avoid the bad food when you don't have somewhere to go to eat bad food but it does make it a little lonely sometimes.
I'll weigh in tomorrow and hopefully things will be better than they were earlier - I've managed to do really well with exercising lately but not so hot with food. If I'm technically on plan and within my calories, I'm not eating all my fruits and veggies or getting my water and if I'm getting all my fruits and veggies and water then I seem to end up going OVER on calories. I may need to do some revamping!
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. My husband has been working nights lately and I hate to admit it, I really like it being just the kids and me -- he leaves at 6 p.m. and comes back at 7:30 the next morning . It just seems to get a little more casual around here!
I did great on the 4th with my munching, etc. I saved almost all of my WW points for the afternoon, knowing I would be grazing a bit and it seems to have worked -- I didn't go to my sister-in-laws hungry, but I had plenty of wiggle room.
Off to rent the kids a movie for the night (Saturday is always movie night ) and while they watch, I exercise.
Hope everyone is doing well and that we have a good weigh in this week -- have we won any of the weeks (I'll have to go take a peek!!)?
