Hi there girls : ) I didn't get a chance to come in yesterday and just came in and wow! So nice to read all your posts
All is going well here. I did get outdoors for that walk on Tuesday and it really helped me, lifted my spirits. I was bumming the other day because I had just learned about the storm (today) and maybe SUnday again and still below temps in the forecast for quite some time to come. I am okay now because I made a decision. I figured my choices were either to get miserable and thus make my plan a lot harder or to just keep on truckin, do good with my food plan, and exercise (which really is h elping me get through it). This way, I will be extra happy when the nice mild weather finally arrives. I will be ready for it and the warm weather clothing waiting in my closet will fit better. Basically, I just acceppted it and that helped.
I am doing well with the food plan though I have no haddock for this week. My dad said the boats didn't go out so hopefully next week a fresh shipment comes in. I picked up a roast chicken from shaw's the other day, delicious!
sockmonkey, that's great : ) I bet all that protein you had revved up your metabolism and you were so good about skipping the dessert and other things. Anyways, way to go! Yessssssss, let's move those scales, sounds good
Hisskitty, Monday weigh-ins helps me to keep in line over the weekends too! It makes it harder to be bad knowing that that weigh day is nearing. Kitty, I am so glad that you found that dog in the middle of the night and took it in! That was one lucky pup to have crossed paths with you
When I first got the pom she was so tiny and only weighed 2 lbs. We had 2 adult cats at the time and I introduced them slowly. I would put the puppy in the crate and let them sniff each other and become familiar this way first. Then after a few times of this, I would hold the puppy and finally let the puppy free to run around but always with supervision....for a long time. My vet scared the living daylights out of me (though he is the best doc and I admire and adore him, basically saved my puppy as she was very sick when little). He told me that the cats could kill the dog in an instant, they might think it's a hamster or something and I had to be very careful . Needless to say, the cats (very nice kitties) knew it was mine and would never go to hurt her. THey were freaked out at first and would run away, didn't know what to make of her. Within a short time period, my female kitty was playing with the dog
hahaha, so cute! They all love her and the female kitty which took to her first still plays with her occassionally and they sit side by side often. : ) Your new kitty will need some time, just introduce them very gradually as they say. Good luck and keep us posted as to how they do, ok?
pigginpodgey and amy, way to go girls! : ) keep up the great work.
Lytriciaaa, hi : ) I am so happy to hear your news, focus, etc. and how you are handling the weather. It's really good to hear and it also reinforces me to keep up with the attitude towards the weather. I like that barbecue idea, even while it's snowing!
It's sleeting here now but maybe if it stops later on , I can follow suit and put the beef I have planned for tonight on the grill! Have a great time on your weekend shopping trip with your daughter, sounds like a real nice time : ) Thanks for the great tips Lytricia. I was doing that sometimes, (allow myself more than I should..too much) and what a great thought replacement for such times, I will remember that one.
As for the salt, hahaha
I like your emoticon there! I bet that gets rid of the cravings ha? Thanks again for sharing with us, keep on truckin : )
beautiful4me, congrats on getting past that craving last night and for your exercise. I saw your new inserts, very pretty
hey jellybeans : ) I agreeeeee, that pic you put up is so adorable. It's freezing rain here too and planning to watch a dvd rental tonight and just kick back. Keep up the great work and have a nice time.
mygirlsmommy, cogratulationssssssss
Your right, I bet that salt trick would be good during TOM! you try it first and let me know, hahahaha
Onward and downward, I like that! : ) we are going to get those scales down!
nosnahhhh, welcome back girl
HOw was your trip to Mass? Hope you had a nice time. As for your leg, I am glad your okay, you must of had a real scare. Hang in there hun, as soon as you get better , you can get right back to the exercise. Getting back to your food plan in itself will have you feeling better, becareful of not letting it spiral out of hand. I know it's hard, I am wondering if maybe while seated you could do a few arm exercises or something like that just to help you feel a bit better (though of course I don't know what the doc said) or maybe pick up some cool book and/or weight-loss mags to help you through. Take care of yourself, the exercise will be there when your better. : )
melissa, welcome
We are all on different plans, some of the girls on south beach diet and various other diets. Our plans vary as do our weigh-in days and/or methods of measuring success. Glad you found us here .
well ladies, time for me to head downstairs and get ready for my workouts. Hope everyone has a great day, let's keep it going.
