Kris... i was just telling someone that and im only 25. we all have our " Screw it." moments its what and how we chose to press on that's key.
I'm happy to report im finally out of the scary 300's. im now standing proud at 298, for awhile i thought id never see a 2 in front of my weight again. lol
I am in desperate need to go food shopping but ive been so busy, which is why im glad i'll be off wed and thurs before i start my nine days working straight.

Soon- Sp sorry to hear that. Hang in there girl. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Mom is smiling down on you and all you accomplish. Make her proud.
So mackinac island was a disaster on my weight. Even with riding bike for MILES...I gained weight. YIKES!!! WTH is up with that. Really tying this week. Did a 4.4 miler and a 2 mile so far. Gotta get something in for today.
Yesterday was the best day I've had in a long time. I am conciously trying to get back on track. Trying positive self talk and focus. Yesterday was just mood focus, didn't worry about anything else. I am not trying to get my food sorted out this this weekend. Then, I am going to learn to use the app on my phone to track. Once I figure it out, should be easier to use and if it's easier....
w 100
e none planned, but I am going to stop at the store and get a new battery for my pedometer
e reasonable, nothing from the vending machine
d i am worth the work
So, some good days and some bad days this week. you all sound like your doing really well. I am down from my high of 219 after my Mom died. I never went back over 220 so feeling pretty happy about that. Nervous about Saturday and Sunday. Saturday will be indian food. My mother loved it as do we all so going to go out for a dinner on Saturday. Not sure what is going on for Saturday nights dinner it's the family gathering and none of us are in an organizing mood. Sunday will be the memorial service at church and some of the ladies in my mom's church could cook. Hopefully I can stay on point and not go over but I always do better when I plan. I just have to limit myself to no more than 2 pieces of dessert and to fill atleast half of my plate with veggies and fruit.
soon2be.. i will be praying for you in the days to come, a lost of a loved one makes you experience a world of emotion. when my grandpa passed away i found comfort in food.... totally undoing what took me months to accomplish. be strong....
love your quote...
im getting excited about weighing in again. after so many months of seeing it rise in numbers it feels great to see my weight drop. as of today im officially 296.6. i need to up my workout but i dont want to overwhelm myself because i know if i do my treadmill will collect dust even more. lol

Happy Sunday! I so need a day of rest, not from exercise, but definitely from work and running around doing errands etc.
Tiara, I am so in agreement with not overwhelming myself. I had been getting very down and Thursday I finally decided enough was enough. Picked myself up & decided to chose to have a good day. And it worked! But I am still taking baby steps to get food, exercise and all in line. I am excited this week because they are having an "Energy for Life" seminar at work and I intend to really take what it offers and put it into practice.
Soon, strength to you this weekend.

Sooo glad to see everyone getting here and so much positive chat! I am lagging at the moment in terms of focusing on healthy stuff. I can't seem to get caught up at work, and there are too many damn family functions to try to keep up with. September/October must be a good month for "cuddling". There are so many fricken birthdays in June and July in this family!
We had our water main line to our house leaking. Hubby started about 4 hours ago trying to fix it. 4 minutes of shoveling dirt and back locked up. Needless to say I'm feeling a bit guilty sitting in the house right now. Figured I'd check in!
Mavie... LOVE THE 'TUDE! I've tried to comment in blog land, but something wont let me long in. I wont give up though!
Tiggie... ahhhh bike rider. So proud of you. I need get some spunk back.... get some adventure going...
Tiara - You are doing fantastico! Congrats! I can't say I'm looking forward to weighing in ever again
Soon- How are ya holding up? Thought about you often over the last couple weeks. Keeping you in my thoughts. We need to push out of these 2teens together. I was 217 this morning. Its frustrating.... a day at a time though, right?
Off to check on the water fix. Hope you all have a great rest of your day. Get your water in! Just cuz iits the weekend don't mean ya can skip it!
Well both the private family gathering and my Mother's memorial service are done. I didn't record food intake for the last 2 days however tried to keep up with my water and sadly no exercise. Will be starting fresh tomorrow with planned meals. Scale did say 216 this morning.
Thank you everyone for the hugs
NixMom: I'm in lets break out of the 210's. My goal is to be out of them by august 15th. I'm holding out okay. Put some of my husbands amazing cookies in the freezer. Do have almost a quarter of a sheet cake that I still haven't put away but plan on having no more than 1 piece a day. My daughter will help with that I am sure. If there is any left after 3 days the dog gets to eat it. I will be having leftover thai food tomorrow night and the kids will probably eat other leftovers. Lol on the birthday's. We have that in August and January/February.
Mother: How was your day of rest? Thanks for the hugs.
Tiara: congrats on the weight loss. Thank you for the thoughts and prayers, your right I am staying strong for my mother. I just refuse to undo what I have already lost. I think your doing alright with your workout. Give it a few more weeks at a half an hour then up it by 10 minutes. Are you lifting weights yet?
Mtiger: thanks for the mom looking down on you comment. I hope so. You may find you drop tomorrow on weight. Someone said when you use a lot of large muscle groups you gain initially. Are you measuring? Was Mackinac Island amazing? It's on my bucket list.
Hugs to anyone I missed.
Carma
