Good morning ladies. Hope everyone had a good nights sleep and is ready for a new day. LOL I didn’t want to get up and would love to go home and back to bed, but………well that isn’t going to happen. I did really good on my calorie and fat gram intake yesterday but do not think I did very well at all on water intake. I walked 1 mile last night at the kids football practice and found that taking along my music really kept me pumped up the whole time. So far this morning I ate 2 pieces of whole wheat toast and 1 cup of grapes for breakfast so I guess you can say I am off to a good start.
Stacey – it is nice to meet you. From your introduction it sounds like you have lost weight in the past but gained it back. Yeah me too and that sucks but this time I am gonna keep it off. This is a journey to a new life for me. We can do this together.
Shawn – I am sorry you weren’t feeling well yesterday, hope today is better. Even though I did not have twins I have the excess skin you are describing, maybe it is from having 4 kids and my last two being so close together. Me and hubby have been talking and have decided that after I hit my goal weight I will give my body 1 more year to adjust and possible loose more then will get a tummy tuck. I have to start saving the money now but I think it will be worth it.
Tammy – I have read several of your post in the past and think you have made awesome progress on your weight loss. I am sorry to hear you are having marriage problems and will keep my fingers crossed that things work out for you. I am happy you are here in our new thread and look forward to getting to know you better.
April – now is a good time to start trying to regain your pre-pregnancy body. I wish I had waited only 5 months instead of 5 years. I know how things are to try to fit exercise into your life. I have a full time job 4 kids a house and family pets to keep up. My 3 boys play football and we are either going to a game or practice almost every night and trying to fit homework in there too. Last night I went walking during practice even though I just wanted to sit and relax and you know what, I felt much better for it. I know you might not want to give up a little of your relaxation time because it is so little but you will be happier if you do.
Erin – Glad you followed along too. I have found that one of the ways I can make this more fun is by adding music that I enjoy when I try to exercise. It seems to pep me up and get me going.
Robsia – I cannot wait till my little ones can wrap arms around me and touch fingers. That must be such a good feeling.
Louie – Make the Me time, you have to do it for you cause if you don’t, no one else will. You can do it.
Cheryl – Glad to see you here to, You can really tell in your face that you have lost. By the way it is nice to put a face with the name. You are a very pretty lady. Love the 7 ¾ grand children, how much longer till you have 8?
Michelle – I hope things get settled down now that school has started, I know you have been so busy and have had to deal with some real pain in the backside people.
Well ladies I must get to work now, but I will check back soon...............
