Hey fellow Newbies. I hope everyone is doing well, and has an enjoyable weekend. Dan, Chequita, Chachee - hope to hear from you. Anyone new - welcome aboard.
My goal is to keep on keeping on. I am slowly assimilating healthy changes into my life. Higher fat foods, on a day to day basis, don't taste as good. I still get urges, but they are not as often. Portion sizes are slowly coming down. And I am starting to find new ways to deal with life's little ups and downs, instead of getting "chip-faced" with my two best friends - Ben and Jerry. I feel good about that, even though I wish effort and good intentions made the results show up faster. So, I want to continue working on healthy food choices and portion control. Sticking to my menus. And working out.
just a quick check in. CONGRATS chach on the loss and you will definately get over that 30 lb. mark next week. my weighin is monday and i believe it will be a good one. i have really gone back to a more regimented food plan, i was kinda getting over ambitious, but i am back on track now. i hope everyone has a great big ol wonderful weekend.
Thought I would check in before I put my son and dogs to bed for a nap.
My goal, a tough one, will be to not sabotage myself this weekend and to get lots of rest.
Sounds like we are all right on track. I'm hoping to have a great weekend and get some pictures and art hung. It's been almost a year, so I think it's time!! Heehee
Hey all. need some good vibes sent my way. A lot of stuff happened, which I let get to me, and have not been making good food choices. Give me some kicksin the butt to get back on track.
Well, I checked in this morning on the scales for the end of my mini-challenge. I was down to 221. That is a 17.5 loss while my hubby was home. My goal was 15, so I am happy with that! My scales weigh me about 3-3.5 lbs lighter than the ww scales, so I am still down so far this week.
I did not make good choices this weekend as far as food was concerned. It's something I continually do to myself, so I am making up for it the next few days before weigh in. It's tough, and something I need to work on.
Jolly: I understand about the bad choices. I made 2 loafs of banana bread, about 4 dozen chocolate chip cookies and about 4 dozen peanut butter chip cookies. I didn't eat the cookies once they were baked, but man, that cookie dough was amazing! I'm over it, froze the cookies and the bread for when I have my surgery, and it's all done with. Gave away half of what I baked to friends and neighbors. I do better if the stuff isn't even in the house.
Good luck on your weigh in tomorrow. Also to you, Chequita. Hi Dan and Lucky.
Congrats on your loss, Chachee. I know you will make your goal for your surgery. Also, congrats on giving the extra food away. Little steps make the difference.
i hope everyone had a great weekend. i too, squeeked out a 1 lb. loss, but, jollygirl it is definately better that a gain. CONGRATS!!! will check back in later.
Jolly: Great job on your loss! Look at you go! That is a lot of weight to lose in a short amount of time. You will be able to move the bar down next week!
I've been bad this weekend, and am paying for it. Gotta undo all the bad I did, so we shall see if the scales are kind to me this week.
Hey all. Just wanted to say hi. Little lonely though. I have to work tonight, so will check back in, and hopefully hear that things are going wonderfully for all of you I feel pretty good. I went to bed very early last night. And did my weight workout and spin class this morning. Woo hoo.
Chequita: Great job on the loss again. You are such a great picture of how to lose weight sensibly! Keep up the great work.
Jolly: I was in bed early as well. I'm just pooped lately! I think I am finally relaxing now that hubby is home to help take care of things. Just need to get a really good rested sleep. Maybe one of these days..
Going to measure tomorrow. I think it's going to be good. I am up on weight. Having a bad week has really been bad for me on the scales. Oh well.
Was sick as a dog last night. OMG, haven't felt that bad in a long time. Still pretty woozy, but here at work. Don't know how long, but trying to make a whole day of it.
Weighed this morning, as normally do on WW Wednesdays. I was down from last week, but we will see if that holds true for the weigh in tonight.
Jolly: I'm amazed at some of the pop up ads here on this site. Strange who chooses to advertise, huh?
Hey all. So, Chachee, how did weigh in go last night? I think you need to send Bat over to me. With some specific instructions to beat my butt. I am letting self doubt and old demons stop my efforts right now. With stress about the horse, and some work coverage issues, I am letting myself get over tired, which makes me overeat. I haven't missed a workout yet, but am not working out as hard as I should.
So, hope your weigh in went well, and send Bat to me.
Weigh in was good. Was down another 1.4, for a total of 30.6. Very excited! Got another 5 pound star and a great round of applause. The lady that joined one week after me was down 35, so I have to lose the 5 this week to pull back ahead of her!
I'll try to post more later, as I am running late this morning!
New Year, New Goals, New Me - week 24
