Evening, all! I went to bed earlyish last night (for me, lol) and so was up WAY too early this morning - about 3:45am! But it's been a good day regardless. Weight is still up but I know the reason and am not stressed in the least. I got to the gym tonight for an hour despite forgetting to actually turn on the dryer after I put my workout clothes in it
, and am within my calories today as usual. And there is NO Easter candy in my house.
I spoke with my best friend tonight; she's pretty stressed and down about her weight, and she joined weight watchers today. I think she's gorgeous and perfect (she seriously has the most perfect legs I've ever seen), but of course it doesn't matter what other people see - it's how we feel about ourselves. I gave her as much support as I knew how over the phone, and I'm going to send her some recipes and food ideas tonight. I'm thinking about linking her to this forum... I'd be embarrassed to have someone I know see what my actual weight was and is (no one in my real life except for my husband and my doctors know), but her success and happiness is more important to me than my embarassment. So maybe we'll see her here at some point. She's amazing.
phillygirl: Nice job today!! I was so tired as well, but really, really happy I got to the gym. I feel so much better after I go.
Kendra: I like the stories about your husband - very cute! I need him to talk to my husband, who in one breath says "I'm so proud of you" and then in the next says "Just skip the gym tonight and stay home with me".
peanutt: Welcome back!! What an awesome loss last week, and I'm glad you had such a good trip!
MadamB: I LOVE LOVE LOVE your story about the woman and her children outside the laundromat. That seriously made me teary (I blame TOM). Thanks so much for posting about that.
Sarge: Holy moses that's a lot of machine calories burned!! When I get up to 600 on the treadmill I feel pretty darn pleased with myself, lol.
Resolute: I know you'll do everything possible to hit the 210s this week - good luck!
Sorry I'm not responding to more tonight (there's been so many posts today!), but I need to gather some recipes and such.
I'm really glad to see everyone with renewed energy today!! Let's make it a great week and make Sarge happy.
