Hi Everyone. I am so glad it is the weekend but the TV will be on all weekend in our house. My DH is a huge basketball fan and a huge professional wrestling fan and both sports have things this weekend--including Monday night when it is the NCAA Men's finals.
While I'm from Ohio, and I will cheer them on to beat Kansas, I ultimately want UK (Kentucky) to win and if they don't then Louisville is my other pick.
My DH's best friend who passed away last July was a HUGE UK fan and they had talked about going to the game if UK got into the Final 4. I offered to go with my DH if he wanted to as I know this was something he was looking forward to with his friend but he said, he would just stay home and watch it since his friend couldn't go; he did ask for me to sit and watch that whole game with Saturday night (I'm usually drifting in and out doing things around the house, or reading) but I will watch the UK/Louisville fro beginning to end in support of my DH.
Carri: So, I just posted and said how I was supportive of DH--I want you to know that comes and goes! lol
We have been married 24 years come this October and you are right, marriage is a lot of work and that is because it is a committment.
I know you and your DH will come to an understanding but it does feel badly at times when a couple is disagreeing. Just say I love you and I want to move on from that. If you can agree on whatever it was work to it and if you can't then agree to disagree and figure what you can live with and what you can't, present that to the other person and then just move on as you can.
I agree that Kim on BL is looking a little older than she was and I do think its because she is tanning so much. While I am NOT a Conda fan, I have to admit she is looking good and you know I think she is a pretty girl..on the outside..not so sure about on the inside.
Dreamer: Great loss for you! I hope things goes well with the apartment application.
Mandy: You are right that just giving up will only get you back to 300 lbs and you DON'T want to go back there. It is frustrating when you don't see the scales moving but you know they will start again..you just need to hang in there.
I think you should add more protein to your diet and make sure your carbs are complex carbs.
You said you didn't know how much to exercise or how much to eat. Have you looked online for one of the sites that will tell you how much to eat and work out to loose a set number of weight from where you are at?
Also, I think maybe changing what you do with your workouts might happen. I remember one night on BL Bob was talking about doing your regular workout backwards. I can't remember all what he said, but I bet if you google it you can find it. He said it helps to break a plateau.
So, last night I had a BIG gain! Two pounds in two weeks. That is why I don't miss meetings very often and why I was stressed that we might not have a TOPS group after last night.
However, things got worked out and our Leader said she would keep the position but asked for help with certain things and people did step up for those.
I have set new goals for myself. No Excuses this time!
I put my weight in my Lose it App and said I wanted to lose 2 lbs a week and it tells me my daily calorie intake amount is 1876 and I should reach my first goal of 270 by June 16.
There's my stats ladies...keep me to them. I need some tough love and a lot of support! I am an emotional eater and for the next few weeks I will be searching ways to not comfort myself with food when those emotionals come.
