Morning Everyone...so my weigh in for work went well...just like my stats below I was down 24 pounds total and 10.08% ,,, so I think I have a good chance of winning but wont know until next Tuesday when she does the "awards ceremony" ...
With that said...I did celebrate with many doughnut holes and Hersheys chocolate last night AND chocolate mil...so needless to say I didnt weigh myself this morning
I guess I better get right back on today, which I am ...talk to you all later
Arabella, keeping my fingers crossed for your weigh-in, too! That's the problem with weighing every day (and I do it, too)- it can fluctuate so wildly from day to day, but it's only the weekly the counts. Here's hoping for a good one tomorrow!
And I'll be staying here as long as it takes! I want to see everybody make it to Onederland! (I never heard Twoterville before, that cracked me up!) Besides, where else am I gonna go anyway, I haven't seen Onesixtydale on any map...
Carri, I hope you're over the chocolate frenzy! Believe me, I can certainly understand it, but now it's time to celebrate with new clothes instead of that deliciously evil stuff!
Big whoop, as my friend used to say. That's still .4 higher than last Sunday and I've been so close to perfect since then. It's got to come off some time. But gee whizzzzzzz! I'm a little frustrated.
Auntie g, thanks for that big stay strong sign. I'll keep that image in my head.
Let's make this a good one and let's come out of this weekend slimmer than we went into it.
Happy Saturday! I'm off for a day of fun with my nephew. We'll be going out to breakfast, so that will be my splurge, but hopefully we'll get in some activity that will help balance that out.
Arabella, I sure know how you feel about the weigh-in, but it's still a loss! Don't stay frustrated. Maybe next week will be a big whoosh!
Morning All ....hope you guys had a good weekend...I did not...well the weekend was good, the food and dieting was not...I pretty much ate whatever I wanted all weekend...so didnt get on the scale this morning...I guess now that the work contest is over I needed a little time to relax and eat
But today is a new day and I am going to be working towards that 199 goal !!!!
Hey now, Carri! Remember, this is not just about the contest, it's about your whole life! But seriously, I applaud you for coming back in here and admitting the sins of the weekend. It's so easy to just ditch the whole effort after something like that. So, for knowing it's a new day! I need to remember that for when I surrender to the holidays, too! Oops, did I say that? Sounds like I'm planning a failure. Well, my holiday plan will be to eat whatever I want ON Thanksgiving and ON Christmas day - NOT for the whole month! (That's what did me in the last time around )
Autie g – I really love the pictures you post to inspire us to keep going. It’
Satine – Great attitude on the new day!
Arabella – Virtually kicking your scale! I understand your frustrated and it hard to keep in mind all the tricks the body plans on us when we don’t see a loss. Even if we weren’t perfect but we know we didn’t deserve to stay the same or gain. I think it maybe the body just being adjusting hang in there!
As for me well. Not a good weekend. We had to take my DH to the ER because of bad stomach pains. We took in at 1am Sunday and when we finally got to see a doctor he was put him a moraine drip which dulled it a bit but mostly put him out. We didn’t find what was wrong after CT scans, x rays and a ultra sound that it was his gall bladder. Which I happen to say I thought it was since I had my out about this time last year. I understood his pain. He has to wait until the inflammation goes down before they will operate. He’s talking with the surgeon right now. I wasn’t able to make the docs. Appt with him. He should be home in a bit. At least I hope so. He’s here now I’ll write more later.
Auntie G - yeah I know I need to keep in mind that this is a lifestyle change and that I will be doing this forever, I think I just sort of went crazy after being good for so long, but I was able to start back on yesterday and do well...
I am about to go in at 11 ( 15 mins ) and find out if I won the contest or not, or even placed in the top three...so I will jump back on here later and let you guys know how it went...wish me luck
I won 2nd place with my 24 pound loss...but it was close between me and the first place gal...I was at a 10.08% loss and she was at 10.88%...
I ended up getting 144.00 of the pot, so I am happy with that...hey I need gas money, ha ha
Another day closer to Friday - yippee! I'm having a rough week mentally, but I'm totally on track food-wise. I am feeling it's gonna be one of those break even kind of weeks, though, but I do believe as Mez said, it's the body adjusting. Such is life...
Mez, I hope your hubby recovers fast! Even though the hospital takes a while to figure out what's wrong, at least now you know for sure, and you can move on to the next step. The not knowing is the worst. Hang in there, and remember to take care of yourself while you're taking care of him!
Carri, glad you're back on the wagon, and congrats on taking 2nd place in the contest!
Buy yourself at least one new piece of clothing! It will help keep you inspired...
Morning All ...I have not felt well for the last couple of days...I think it is sinus and allergy related although some of my family that I was with did have colds this last weekend...whenever they start harvesting all the crops here in Indiana in the fall my allergies start acting up...it has been so cold here the last few days...highs only in the 50's ...
Auntie G - I might buy myself a new shirt or something, I really need new jeans...sorry you are having a rough week, but at least you are staying on track food wise, so good job!!
Mez - How is your husband? Having your gallbladder removed is all too common now a days. I hear about it all of the time...I think it has to do with all of the fatty food we eat. Hope he is better.
Arabella - hello
Hope you all have a good day. I am having one of those hungrier than normal days so I know I am going to be fighting it all day, grrrrrrrr
Wow...where has everyone been??? Hope we are all still doing well and keeping on the straight and narrow, ha ha ... I know I have had some moments lately that werent so great ...I am up a couple of pounds but I refuse to change my ticker just going to work extra hard the next week to get off those pounds.
Today is really cold and gloomy, raining outside and about 50 degrees...wish I was home in my pjs and watching an old movie...
Hope the work day today goes really fast so I can start my weekend, we dont really have any plans but it will be nice just to sit around and do nothing.
Well I hope you all have a great weekend, and get back in here!!!!
Yes, I've been wondering what has happened here, too. I've been cranky and didn't have anything new to say, but I don't want this thread to slip away! Tomorrow is my weigh-in, so I'll be reporting in in the morning...
Carri, I hope you're back on track! It's so hard sometimes, but we have to get over the bumps in the road and hang onto that wagon for dear life! Now, we're a week from Halloween, and I haven't bought any candy yet, but I am so afraid... I don't intend to buy anything "good", but my husband certainly disagrees with that thought, so I may buckle under the pressure. I really don't want to screw it up now!
We're supposed to get that rain tomorrow that you have today. Home in pjs sounds like a good plan! DH is going to be out most of the day, so after my morning errands, I think I'll stay in and catch up on some TV shows that I've taped during the week. Ahhhh...
OK, well, I hope someone checks in soon. Arabella, where are you???
