Hi everyone,
Sherri- I have to agree with wild rose. You hang in there. You will get through this. You are a great chearleader.
Don't let what someone else bother you, i know it's easier said than done. But just events. Rate it. Is it going to kill ya, no, probably very unpleasent, but you are still there, and you have you family. 6 months down the road someone else will be topic of converstation. Time in a way does heal all wounds. Also look at it this way, you are doing awesome in the weight, you have a new job you love, and you have friends here that care about you very much.
Wild rose, I know how you feel about the cold. It's very cold here, and doesn't look to change except for some snow possibly. Hang on with the gain, you can work it off. Working that treadmill will help.
i'm finding that exercise with my almost middle age is a must.
Linlin-I'm finding if I consistant I will show a loss. I can work out at curves, about 2 hours or so before weigh in and still have a loss. I ware the same clothes, or close to it each week. The lightest I have.
I've always heard though, not to do it, exercise before weigh in. Your muscles swell when you exercise. Thats why curves says to measure before workout. But this is something to look at too. You by exercising should be losing some water weight. I know that in the morning I can exercise 2 pounds off of me. The key be consistant. Sooner or later your efforts will show up at the scale. I agree with weighing yourself just before you go out the door, i do it each week too. My scale differs about .25- 1. either way. some weeks heavy, some weeks light. But I know if i'm about 1.5 pounds down on my scale i will have a loss. Also work on getting you mind off the scale. There are other ways to improve yourself that the scale can't show. I know you need it for Tops, but measure other success that you may have for the week.
Congrats on All the losers so far this week. Keep it up.
me things are going well. I turtled again this week, but i've picked up my exercising, and keeping busy, so it should all show up on monday, if i don't overeat this weekend, and stay busy. Exercising in the morning is really helping me, and I've been trying something different at work. Not sure how the hands will pan out, but they are willing to work with me on the whole thing. This will keep me moving all day long, walking. Either everyday for the week, or everyother day for the week. Depending on whom I'm working with. They are also going to make sure that on the other side of the job, that I don't get behind on it. I've been doing some praying about it, and so far no doors have been closed. So time will tell. They also agreed to all the requests that I have made to do the job. the one thing yet is we will bring it up with the other workers tomorrow and see what they think, and feel. I don't think anyone will have a problem with it. Neither job is my choice of a job, however, i've been there a long time, and no one else will hire me with my hands. So I figure make the best out of the situation that i'm in for who knows how long.
Not much more going on
Freezing Wednesday
Well, Made it to weigh - in last night and was delighted to find out I lost 3 1/2 lbs this week. That brings me down to 230 1/2, 1 lb away from the 220's. Can't wait! It has been almost 11 years since I weighed that. Feels good to see the scales go down.
Anyway, have a good day all, and congratulations on all of you and your loses.
