Hi ladiessssssssssssss, good afternoon. HOw is everyone doing?
I was laid up a few days with TOM but feeling good again as of yesterday. I overate one of those days and indulged in my choc. craving. I weighed in yesterday and no loss but managed to maintain. I really didn't expect a loss as I have been eating things off plan and beleive I maintained by watching out in between or not going overboard when I do eat. So in a nutshell, I am happy I maintained (and vaca not over yet) but I really want to lose more. I have been doing a lot of thinking and basically a re-affirmation of my plans and what I need to do. This month has not been my typical as far as exercise and not as diligent with plan lately. True , I was not feeling well but now I have no excuse and I sooooo don't want to lose my momentum or start slacking and told myself to exercise every day. It always works for me that way as I make it a point to workout when I am well and then something always comes up, etc. and on those days i miss a workout. Yikes, I am rambling now! lol sorry ladies.
The end of July I have a big party to attend and then in august will be on vaca with dh for 2 weeks, so my goal is to lose a.m.a. p by this time. It's our anniversary this friday and we are planning a special dinner, though n ot sure of the details yet. ANyhow, 10 days left to the month ladies, keep it rockin. Everyone is doing so terrific , keep up the great work. As for me, I am concentrating on not overdoing it the rest of this week and then a major buckle down! How is everyone else doing?
sockmonkey, congratulationsssssss on the 20 lb. mark, that is fantastic girl!
Lekhika, hi there. I think your doing great! You have been so diligent with your working out and plan and your really doing great, continue as you are and you'll get to that point you wish. I know it can be frustrating sometime (esp. for me lately as i have halted a bit but yeap, it wont magically disapper as you said and I am gearing myself up mentally yet again to break out the big guns and go full steam ahead) but keeping at it results in success. YOu are doing awesome!
when is your vaca starting?
Hi mascara, hope you had a super birthday : ) congrats on a good weigh in.
Lekhika, when you lose the weight you want....you may very well not go back to eating junk food, etc. You are working so h ard for this and somehow I doubt you will let it get out of hand after........plus I beleive our bodies get accustomed to eating healthier and it is much easier to stay away from rich foods after, etc. I get a tummy ache now if I eat something rich or fatty and it's a good negative reinforcer. I just feel so much better when I eat light and healthy foods so that is a great reinforcer in itself. I have already told myself from now that when I get to my goal weight, the minute I see a 3 lb. gain, i will work to lose it! Before I would say, oh it's just 3 lbs. no big deal, then it would be 5 and ah the rest is history! lol so that's my plan girl, but for now I need to put all my energy into losingggggg it. : ) keep it rockin
water addict, congratulations to you as well on the loss and the 20lb. mark!
keep up the great work, that is super.
pigginpodgey, bravo for maintaining during the festivities, etc . and for getting right back into the gym. way to go!
well my ladies, it felt really good to come in and hear your news and post. Now that things have finally settled down, I will be posting daily again. Miss you all, take care of yourselves and have a happy and successful day.
everyone! 
WOOOOT Mary! Congrats baby! 
YAY Joanne! 
I'm feeling so good right now, so positive about the future and I think I owe it to my new kitty Tiger! I got him yesterday from my auntie. I knew as soon as I got him home that he's as crazy as me but that's okay. Right now we're in the stage of him getting to know his new home and owner. He won't let me touch him but he feels free to follow me around and climb all over my feet. Just like a man.
