Good afternoon ladies , it is so nice to come in and read your posts
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Congratulations on the losses and maintenance girls. I am down 1, maybe a little more. I was hoping for more but I'll take it. At least the scale is still moving for me but I am beginning to feel a bit impatient again and am going to try harder to get it down more this week, warm weather is on the way and soon here to stay! I am ready for a new week ladies. I have to be really strict now because as summer progressess I do go out more, etc. though I am also much more active.
sockmonkey, it's good that you maintained and can just move on from here. Is school out for the semester, or the summer rather? Congratulations : ) By the way, you look super! : ) keep on truckin girl.
Lehika, I have a thing for burgers on the grill too! I have a 1x week beef rule and I had it 2x this past week. I am going to have to start preparing the chicken in advance, I like it marinated over night or at least for several hours prior to cooking it on the grill. I am going to have to make sure I do that in advance and plan it. I am glad that your knees are feeling better today. Good for you doing that walk after, I can see it turned you around and you felt much better after. Walking helps me so much that way. Lehika, that is awesome that you did 4.5 miles on the treadmill!
your kicking butt, good work. As for your feelings regarding weigh-ins, I often feel that way too before weigh-ins. Sometimes I get nervous from 2 days before! lol Sounds like your doing very well, good luck tomorrow. Keep up the great work : )
Hi mascara, hope you had a nice time shopping. I like special k too, it's about the only cereal I occassionally eat. I tried kashi for the protein and fiber but didn't get into it. Good luck tomorrow : )
Steph, congratulationssss
Your doing super!
jellybeanzzzzzz, hey you! : ) I am so glad that your feeling better. Congratulations on the loss!
way to go! Alsooooooo, congrats on picking up the new trailor this weekend! That's exciting, and you know, roasting marshmallows sounds absolutely great!!!!!! : ) I havn't done that in so long. We used to go in the woods and light campfires, that was a long time ago and a lot of us did that back then but nowadays it isn't as legal to do that. We weren't at a campsite, just the woods! lol
When are you planning to go camping?
tracyg, I would be in big trouble if I worked at a pizza place! Despite the gain and sidetrack it sounds like you got right back to it and h ad your water and exercise and are determined and ready to kick butt! I think that is great!!!! right on!
we start a new week, time to focus on our new day.
right back at you girl! : )
nosnah, I love the way you write. You remind me so much of a freind of mine. TY for sharing your introspection with us. What you said makes a lot of sense, sooooo true, yet I also feel that when certain things come our way (and as you say, part of life, it's inevitable) it really can make it much more difficult to focus. You did get a lot thrown on you abruptly and I can see that a lot of energy is needing to go into the details of your move, etc. One step at a time girl, I would get overwhelmed if I thought of everything I had to do but then again, it needs to be done. Make a list and nail it one step a time. I am sure I don't need to tell you that, sounds like you have done this a few times and you could probably teach ME the ins and outs. Kid, I can tell your a mover and shaker, you will get it done. As for not caring right now, etc. , I think it's natural that a lot of your focus and energy is going into the move and sometimes we just need a break. Honestly though, you have done so well and I think it would be upsetting if you gained it back so maybe for now with all this stuff going on, you could maybe do a middle ground sort of thing? i.e, like maintaining for now, and maintaining is work too. I think its great your doing yoga again, that will help releive some of the stress. Hang in there kiddo, it will all come together
Hi sunshine, way to go with your determination and focusing on the positive things right now : ) I love hearing these things, it's a reminder to us all and I find it inspiring. You ladies rock!!!!
Well, I have to move my tail. COming in here and reading how well everyone is doing and the determination etc. made my day! I just love being here and reading all your news, etc. Have a great and successful day everyone, and let's kick some butt!
