Mandy: Trust that what is meant to be will be. I don't expect the congregation to not see in your family what the council already knows.
Diane: I have days where my scale just wants to act crazy, too. Today is one of them. It went from 221.6 lbs to 225.0 lbs to 222.2 lbs to several other numbers to me stepping off, pushing it back into the corner and walking away. I'm not angry at it. I know it just means I'd have to take it into the garage, probably, to get a solid read, but it's just silly. I highly encourage your 5k goal! I have one of those myself. It's going to take me a while, too, but one day we'll both get there and it'll be awesome!
Sunny: Your weekend sounds like it was kind of hectic. And waking up to shattering glass would have freaked anyone out. I know it's easier to beat yourself up over some less than ideal food choices, but remind yourself that one bad choice doesn't destroy all your progress - it'll make it easier to stay on track that way.
Lotus: One of the benefits of my walks being walks with Luna. It's much easier when it does rain to force myself to get out and walk anyway when I know that Luna loves them. It doesn't hurt that the trail has a lot of trees that overhang and help minimize just how wet I get, either.
Uber: Toast and tomato sounds delicious. Then again, I love love love tomato. I'm so happy that being in the 250's is starting to settle in enough that you're feeling thinner. I had a moment like that yesterday. I looked in the mirror and felt like I really could see how much my face had thinned out over the last few months.
Donna? / Change4Life: Welcome to your little corner of paradise. Our group has being growing so much over the last few weeks. I love it! I think you'll love it here, too.
Katie: Welcome to the group, you'll find that you're in good company. I'm sorry for your miscarriage and congratulations on your baby boy.
Yesterday went well. I managed to do two sets of ten second standard side planks. I also did three sets of 70 crunches. My abs burned when it was all said and done, but it was so worth it. I've been thinking and I'm going to start saving up to get some free weights so I can start really working my arms. At some point, I'm also going to have to start looking into exercises that can help me slim and tone up my calves.
