I'm feeling better here too. But I went to the hospital today to get my clearance letter to go back to work and the doctor said no. He gave me a clearance letter to go back to work on Thursday along with another injection and some more pills. Oh well.

On another note, I have the BEST bf in the world! Took me for a two hour massage at 12:30am this morning!!! Love him!!!!

Hope you all have a great Monday.

Hello everyone.. So sorry I missed the weigh in.. My daughters pet hamster died yesterday, to her it was a very emotional loss.. I was helping her understand about life/death and we sat down to make a poster that everyone in the family could write a little note to "buddy". I know this is not much of an excuse but by the time we had our little burial and finished the poster it was 10 ish and I simply forgot.. It wont happen again.. I am frustrated with myself because I stayed on plan and did have a loss,small but still a loss, I plan to keep it and add to it for next week..

Congrats to all the losses this week.

Good job on the weight loss red team!

Sha25-sorry for the loss of your daughters hampster.

Shan- I bet you felt like jello after a 2 h massage.
Hope it helps you relax and your body to fully recover.

Terapet- never realized how close to your goal you are! In the home stretch!

I'm watching my portion sizes like a hawk and it's finally paying off! Loving it!

Thank you.. Wow that really sounds a bit strange. To my daughter she felt like she lost her best friend/ a family member... It was her I felt really bad for.. She is my sensitive one and has a tough time dealing with things like that.

Today's question: What motivates you to stay on plan?

I am in the same place as sha25. My dog was diagnosed with cancer yesterday with little time before we will need to put him down. I am heartbroken but have a little time to enjoy and spoil him before the end.

Congrats to this week's losers!

Sha & Terapet -- I'm so sorry for you both. We have a lot of animals in our family and to lose any of them would be devastating.

I'm up 2 pounds today, which is really ticking me off. I ate some food I wouldn't normally, but I was still around 1300-1400 calories, which should be absolutely fine. I'll hope that it's water and will whoosh away again quickly. I was kind of counting on a gain this weekend, with Thanksgiving and my birthday and TOM all due in about 4-5 days but this is too early!

I better hit the treadmill hard tonight to get prepared!

TERAPET- Sorry to hear what your going through with your dog..

Back to school for my kids = craziness for me. I really need to devise a plan to get more exercise in. I was working out in the am before work but nobody had to be up and getting ready for school.. It was just me and now I am still exercising daily but bouncing around the time when I have a free moment.. I like consistency.. I think it is time to move the alarm clock to 5 am

Hope everyone is doing well.. The thread is quiet this week..

Rough day at work and it's taking all my will power not to eat myself out of house & home (stress eating anyone?)

Quote:
What motivates you to stay on plan?
-The fact that the scale is moving (after being at stuck at 160 for 4 m) is a HUGE motivator.
-Clothes fitting better/getting looser
-My daily mantra that this isn't a quick fix it's a lifestyle change

Terapet, sorry to hear about your pup. Enjoy your time with him and create many memories. :hugs:

Hi ladies. Hope everyone had a good Tuesday. Not much going on here in SK this Wednesday morning. This is my last day off work at home from being sick. That letter I got on Monday gives me clearance to return to work tomorrow. It will be an adjustment going back to work after being off for 7 days. Excited to get back with my little ones. Of course its short lived because we have vacation days from school next Monday and Tuesday. Woohoo! More time off! I love this job!!

I speed walked 3.16 miles last night at the community track. My calories were a little too high last night though and I showed a gain of 2lbs this morning. No worries though I can work that off and then some I hope! I am a habitual morning weigher. I don't actually record it except on Sunday mornings, but I do check every morning.

Anyways, no big plans for today. Goal is to have a 100% on plan food day, exercise tonight, and just enjoy the day!

Terapet- Sorry to hear about your dog. It's always tough to lose a pet.

sha25- Is your daughter doing alright?

Angie- I'm in the same boat as you...up 2lbs this morning. But, we can get it off! Let's go!!!

CanadaMel- I noticed your loss last week. Way to go girl! I know it can be fustrating when you stall in your weight loss. I am fighting hard this week not to gain back the huge loss I had last week. Sorry you had a rough day at work. Hang in there! I love your daily mantra! It's so true!!

Hi all, just wanted to check in and say hi. I've been reading the forum but not really saying anything because I was embarrassed about my behavior for the past few days. I've been letting stuff get to me like bad workouts or poor food choices, and then I just repeat those same mistakes...I'm pretty sure that most of you who have been in the weight loss game for a while know what I'm talking about!!! Anyway, I wasn't perfect foodwise today, but I ran and did 30 day shred today, and that's a lot of hard work to negate with bad food choices. Now it's time to put on my big girl pants and realize that all the choices I make are exactly that-choices. No more wallowing in self pity, that doesn't make the numbers on the scale go down or my pants fit any looser. Well, that's all for me. Have a good night all!

Happy Wednesday all. Hope everyone has had a good day so far. Work was much better today, so munchies aren't such an issue today. Though the kids want nachos for dinner, so it gives me an open door to be good or bad!
May weigh in early this week as dh wants to go camping again-ugh. I hope this is the last time, though luckily we get to stay in a hotel for 1 night after camping-well worth the suffering. LOL
Parent council meeting this evening so I need to go prep.
