Anybody else still posting here?

My food was on plan yesterday! Yeah! The scale is moving down a little lately. I hope it sticks. I even moved my ticker. It is way easier to stay on plan when my weight is actually going down. My goal for the day is the same as yesterday. Unfortunately, I promised my daughter to do some baking for her today. She has a camp job this week that is from 8 to 8, with a lot of time outdoors in the sun. She can afford to eat some baked goods! I will either need to be strong or spend the rest of the week outdoors in my yard from 8 to 8 to make up for it! Actually my yard could use some focused attention.

I don't know where everybody is, Terapet!

Be strong with your baking! I believe you can do itttttt. You wanna keep that scale moving, right?? Right!

My own scale moved down today. 237! I can practically TOUCH the 30 pound loss mark! Soooooo close... And so exciting! And tomorrow I leave for my week long adventure.... So perhaps tomorrow will bek ind and show me 236, and I can come home to an even lower number... Hopefully... At least I have every intention of exercising while I'm gone! I have three days where I need to do C25K while we're up there, someone we're visiting has a pool we'll end up playing in, and that same person apparently has horses! So if they can handle my weight, I'll totally be horseback riding! (I have no idea why this excites me so much, as I've only ever done it like... Once, years ago. But I just seem to have an odd interest in it!). So at least my fun family week has some stuff that should hopefully maybe counteract some of the bad eating that is likely to occur... I mean, I'm going up there for a wedding. Then there's the rehersal dinner the night before, and a brunch the next morning. Talk about a test of my willpower and self control...

My laptop is coming with me on this trip, not that I'm planning on spending a bunch of time on here when I could be visiting, but I'll probably check in once or twice to see how you guys are and update you on my shenanigans!

Hope everyone is doing well out there! Just me and Terapet in here the last couple days... Come back! We miss youuuuu!

ninepaw-Have a great time on your vacation! Congrats on the 237. You are doing so well. You are going to be looking fabulous for the wedding!

I managed to finish yesterday on plan. It feels good to be back on the right track but I find myself getting all anxious to lose again. If only the weight could come off faster. I kind of stalled there for the last few weeks and although I enjoyed eating more calories, I am sorry I missed the chance to take off a few more pounds. I need some success. If I can just stick to my plan for the next few weeks, I should be able to reach my 20 pound goal.

Hello everbodee!

I haven't been posting because I really have nothing new or interesting to say. Still eating right, still not losing weight, still losing inches, still running. Work and school have been crazy busy.

I'm really hoping to do something fun this weekend because I am stressed.

Keep thinking happy skinny thoughts girls!

I'm here...just have little to say these days I guess. Just keeping on, waiting for the stall to pass. It should soon. I'm looking so forward to moving into the 160's!

Hi Rochester and Eliana-Glad you two checked in. Sounds like things are going well for both of you.

I had a huge dinner at my favorite Mexican restaurant yesterday. Hopefully that will keep me happy for awhile. I have already planned my meals so I feel very confident this will be an on plan day. For exercise I have already been to the Y for the body sculpting class but skipped the Zumba class to come home and pull weeds outdoors. I would much rather dance but the yard really needs attention!

Finally this afternoon I weigh less nearly a pound less than I weighed this morning. That means that MAYBE the water weight is finally being let go. Come on new decade!

Hi girls! Glad you all seem to be hanging in there.


I'm enjoying my trip, although I feel like I'm eating a lot... Though my mom pointed out that when I've been snacking, it's been on things like grapes and carrots... And in reality thinking it over, none of the actual meals I've eaten have been that bad, save for the monte cristo sandwich I had when we stopped for dinner on the way up! It wasn't even that good, go figure! So I dunno where I get the feeling I'm eating a lot, really, I guess it's just me being paranoid.

Tonight is the reharsal dinner... And we'll be doing pizza. God help me... I finally thought to ask what the food would be at the wedding tomorrow night, and that's going to be a taco bar, so that should be easy though to get through. I'm not that big on mexican food, so I'll eat *maybe* two tacos, and a little of whatever else is there. Pizza tonight, on the other hand... I'm afraid! Aaaaand this would be why my goal was to maintain for the week, rather than being worried about losing!

I changed my ticker today to the last number that I saw for two days, which was back on the 18th/19th... 238. So that's the number I'm hoping to see, even though the last weigh in I did on Tuesday was 237. We'll see.

Keep up the fabulous work, girls!

Surprisingly my scale is sticking at 156. That makes me happy. Today was a 75 minute step class at the Y. It is soooo hot and humid here. We were all sweating up a storm even in the air conditioning. Now I am going to attempt helping my husband in the yard but I don't know how long I will last.

ninepaw-We all have to have a little pizza now and then. Have fun at the wedding!

@Eliana and Terapet - Congrats on the losses!

@Diana - Enjoy your trip! Sounds like a lot of fun.

I went out last night and had a blast. I desperately needed those hours of complete relaxation.

A friend and I went to a theater production of "A Wrinkle in Time." The sets and staging were beyond amazing - very creative and abstract. But I was a bit disappointed in the writing and casting. The author of left out some key points of the story and the actors didn't portray the characters in the way that I see them when I read the book.

After the play, we met another friend of ours and went out for pizza and wine. We were there until after closing discussing life, philosophy, religion, love, and basically the meaning of the universe.

Then we went to Wal*Mart and caused trouble. Sword fights and silly discussions of bananas and modeling ridiculous sunglasses.

I didn't get home until 3 a.m. It was a fabulous night!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Rochester-Sounds like fun. You are fortunate to have such great friends.

This morning hubby and I walked up and down Kennesaw Mtn. Third times a charm. I am getting much better at it. I felt sorry for all the dogs though. It is so hot here. Why on earth are people walking their dogs up a mountain in this heat and humidity at 10 in the morning. The least they could of done was to get up at 7. We may go to the pool today and later are planning to see an outdoor jazz concert at Kennesaw University. I am so glad I was able to tear my husband away from his projects for some fun this weekend. Starting again Monday he is back out of town and I am left alone at home to look for a job. Ugh!

I'm still around girls...just enjoying summer with the family amidst working full time and running my own business...ahhh!

I've been plateaued in the 250s for 2months now! *sob* I am REALLY going to focus on clean eating and get serious about it!

The jazz concert last night was great. The guest trumpet player was formerly with the Lincoln Center Jazz band. He was outstanding. Today's exercise was 60 minutes of step and 60 minutes of yoga. I have been eating some high calorie food lately but I think I am staying within my calorie limit. The scale will tell! I am supposed to go out for drinks and dinner with the girls tomorrow but am considering going as the designated driver. I don't really want to deal with the calories. They are fun to drink with though!

Yes! Finally! Sixty five pounds lost now! Wahoo! Stalled for my typical two weeks and then whoosh! Two pounds over night. .6 pounds to go to my next mini goal and a new decade. Feeling good. Off to lift weights and then a 20 mile bike ride in solitude. Delightful.

Hi!! We're back from vacation and back to the real world. You know, the one without the national monuments and subway stations, back to small town America. (Well, small town Central Florida, anyway, I'm not sure that's really the real world!!)
