Kath, I hope you have some company by now! Your BP is high. Maybe you should consider medicine again. I didn't know that some BP medicine causes weight gain. I take Norvasc and have for many years. My pressure has come down a bit but not enough to get off. If I can get it down some more, I'm going to ask him to cut down the dosage. My BP is normally 130/82, even when I'm nervous at the Dr.'s office. It will really be great if you can get your cubemate to do Core. I'm convinced that it's the best plan going. Now if we could just all get enthusiastic again!
Rita, I'm very glad that Kim and your Mom seem to be stable and even improving. You survived the Pizza Hut experience and now I'm sure you'll be back on track. I wish I knew what to do to get myself going again. I guess I need to go back through my binder and pick some new meals to try.
Patti, just keep doing the best you can. You'll be ok when you get back to your routine.
Melissa, I love my WW magazine. You're right....it doesn't have much Core stuff in it but it's getting better with every month. I LOVE to read the success stories. Someday we are going to see Angela in there. I've subscribed for a long time and it has gotten continuously better. Like Cher, I got 3 issues free from weighing in for 10 weeks during the summer. My subscription will get extended. That really appealed to frugal me!
Sandra, brownies and a wine cooler? Together? GF that doesn't even sound good!!!! Whatcha gonna do? What set you off down that path? You'll be ok, I know you will. The exercise will help as will some extra water.
I haven't been drinking enough water and I have NO enthusiasm for the program this week. Nothing's wrong but I just don't feel right. I think it's a hormonal, perimenopausal thing. I will be looking forward to talking to my new gynecologist in February about what's going on with me. I'm not depressed but I'm not myself either. Very weird. Next Monday is my one year WW anniversary. I really wanted to be at 52 pounds down but I'm sure I'll have missed it by alot. I've still got a lot to be proud of but I shouldn't be resting on my laurels either. I don't want to cook and I'm tired of eating the same old things. Not good. I need to keep looking inside to get re-motivated. I'm hoping to be ok in a couple of days! I didn't exercise today either because I procrastinated until I had to get ready for the dentist. Once I shower, I don't treadmill. I need to get a grip because my life is good, in fact it's great. I should be happy and losing like gangbusters!
Well, I better get going. I need to get up at 6:00 so I can exercise and be showered by 7:00 in case the painters show up early again. They said 8:00 but I don't trust them anymore. I have not exercised since Saturday which is very, very, bad. I must get back on track. I talk with you all tomorrow.
