Hi girls! I keep trying to get in here, but the distractions are never ending, hoping I can get through a post now- LOL. Soo, I guess everyone knows about yesterday's earthquake? Really weird for us East coasters! Everyone on my block felt it, but I was walking my girl and didn't feel it. Probably better that I didn't! I was really worried about my sister and her kids cause they're on vacation in Maryland, but she said they didn't feel it on the beach, so I suppose all is well for now.
I've been having a good week so far, so I'm really hoping to make Onederland this Saturday! Tomato sandwiches for lunch every day, mmmmmm... I don't know what I'm gonna do when tomato season is over! For the first time in life I've also discovered the awesomeness of ripe fruit. Crazy, isn't it? I always stayed away from fruit because I felt like it was a waste of calories or points for something that always left me feeling hungrier, but I hear that WW has loosened up on fruit, so I started eating it. Man, I'm really going to have trouble when nothing's ripe in the winter!
Susie, I definitely wonder what's wrong with me, too, that I'm always riding the rollercoaster. I think a lot of people have this problem! If we could fix our heads, the rest would just come naturally! I've come so far, so many times, and then I just let it slip back and have to start all over again. So sick of it! This time I'm really trying to do it differently, though. I stopped weighing and measuring and counting, which I NEVER before thought was a good idea. I always got so wrapped up in keeping notes that it just wasn't liveable for the long term. I'm pretty familiar by now with approximate serving sizes, so I'm just trying to wing it and be sensible. Granted, it's a slower process, but slow movement in the right direction that I can sustain has got to be better (for me, at least) than zooming down the scale just to zoom back up! Either way, yeah, you're not alone with the mental struggles! Glad you're feeling better and I definitely think you should do that 5K! You GO, girl!
Carri, sorry, but I definitely giggled at your puppy poopie story! I haven't had it happen in the car, but lately we've had some close calls in the house. My girl turned 15 last week - yay! But about a month ago she started having a lot of troubles with the, ummm, consistancy of her business, so she's now taking Metamucil daily. Well, that has definitely improved the situation, but sometimes when the feeling hits, we don't have a lot of time to get her outside. We have to carry her down the steps, and it's quite a sight when that tail is raised and we know it's coming and we need to get out the door fast! Probably TMI, but I can talk about puppy poop all day- LOL! Anyway, congrats on staying below 230! I hope the rest of your transition back to better eating gets easier, and you get some sleep!
Hope all is well with everyone else!
Time to get out the door. Have a good one, everyone!
