I have been weighing every day for the past 2 months to sort of get a handle on my weight swings throughout the month. However, it had the nasty side affect of making me work at merely one day at a time, which didn't really work for me. It was so easy for me to cheat because, because I'll just behave tomorrow (yeah right!) So I switched back to a weekly weigh-in, to shift my focus back to being OP a week at a time. The only problem is I really want to jump on the scale! It is almost driving me crazy to wait the whole week!! I hope I'm not disappointed......

Mindy - Don't get discouraged! It happens to all of us. I only lost 1.2lbs in April, and didn't lose anything in March, and I'm certainly not menopausal (only 23).

Shannon - Isn't it crazy how the weekend so often turns out busier than the rest of the week combined? Sometimes I'm relieved to settle back into work on Monday!

Dixie
Will keep you in my prayers.

Pre menopause is a pain in many ways. You just stick with it. The condition won't keep you from losing the weight sooner or later.

Monte
Oh I do understand about the scale lol. I don't even keep one in the house again. I go to the doc to do a weigh in. The scale in the house just drove me crazy.

Things pretty much the same same around here. Our little rescue dog Cookie is doing better everyday and has even put a pound on over the week we have had her. What a difference a week and a few days has made for this little sweet thing.

TOM said HELLO today, with a vengence. I think they are getting further apart and certainly stronger when they get here. I was down a little from yesterday, 191.6. I want to get solidly in the 180's, Not just 189.6 like last month. If I could just keep from going up and down, I would be great.

Monte and Shy- Thanks for your votes of confidence. I really need them and appreciate them. I have to keep my eye on the forest, but this big A** tree keeps getting in my way.

Lisa - Yes, that is my son Karl. You are so sweet, I'll be sure to let him know what you said; coming from mom he just never believes me.

MC - I can really relate to your struggles with the scales. I tried to only weigh once a week but just couldn't do it.

mtiger -Hang in there, we are in this for the life. The weight WILL come off. TOM is on the way here so the scales are all of the place for me too. I don't think the humidity here is helping either; my hands and feet are SOOO swollen.

Shy - I glad that Cooking is doing better.

Mandi - The BodyPod sounds cool, would love to get my numbers.

Brooke, Noah, and I will be headed to Williamsburg and I have to admit I'm not looking forward to the six hour drive. Noah really doesn't like to ride and it looks like we will have some weather all the way up I95. I am looking forward to getting there and seeing some old friends and my two sisters who are also coming to town. It will be an interesting trip, it's the first time all three of us have been together in over 10 years.

Well I guess I better get in the shower and start packing up the car.

GREAT.... I just heard thunder.... as I always say.... careful what you wish for. I wanted thunderstorms and it looks like we are going to have a few today.

Not sure I am taking my computer if not I'll be back Monday.

Have a great weekend everyone.

I posted an ad on craigslist a while back for a walking partner and someone finally contacted me. I am going to meet her at 9:30 and I am SO excited. So this makes at least 2 times this week at least I will have exercised. WOOHOO.

Willow
You be careful and have a great time with your new walking buddy

Mtiger
I haven't found so much that the darn big tree gets in my way BUT I do find that those darn branches just beat the heck out of me from time to time.

NO! The Craigslist Killer went to meet someone and killed them and I think others. Take someone with you the first time!

Thanks to you all who gave me kind words of support! I need them!

You all are doing fantastic. I hope to do well this year again too.

Oh yeah, I lost 3 lbs.

Will change my thingy when I lose some more.

Did 3 miles with my friend. She is getting better at running, which in turn is better for me too. We go further, and run longer. YAY!!! SInce TOM has arrived the scales are starting to move some. 191 today. I really need to get into the 180's solidly. PLEASE!!!!!

Cat- Have fun. And you can keep the thunderstorms in your area. We need no more rain here.

Shy- Something seems to be getting in the way. Gotta push it right out of the way.

Soon2b- Great job on the loss.

the craigslist killer were meeting women who posted in the erotic section of craigslist. I met my walking partner today and we had a great time, walked 4 1/2 miles

Mandy - I'm glad your walking partner worked out. I wouldn't trade away 3FC, but sometimes you need somebody "there".

Soon2B - Congrats on the loss! I hope I can pull off the same this week.

Mindy - That is awesome with the running! Just keep it up and soon you'll be sprinting through the 180s!

No exercise yesterday, but I did get to see the new Star Trek (was totally awesome!!). I think it was worth it.

Hey Purple team! I'm still around, but the site is still acting up on me.

Has anyone heard when the next season of BL will start? I really hate to go all summer without a challenge, that leads to me falling off the wagon, usually.

Eating hasn't been 100%, but I've ramped up my running for the next couple of weeks, trying to get used to running outside in the FL heat. Even at 5:30 am it's hot and humid already. There's a race on July 4th that's going to be miserable. It was the first 5K I ever attempted, and even though I walked it, it was almost too much. Note to anyone thinking of doing a 5K: Don't attempt your first one at the height of summer, wait til it cools off.

Soon2b
Congrats. You dance it is lol it is great exercise.

mtiger
Carry shears at all time lol.

Weight has not changed, like at all. I have been walk/jogging everyday this week. Maybe that's why. I did Jillian's Cardio DVD tonight. I am soaked. Let's see if that does any good.
