3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Summer,

How are you doing today? Are you staying away from those carbs? I hope so.

Crazy4carbs,

Didn't know that monday is always a startover day.:lol: It seems to be for me a lot.LOL Just keep doing what you know you can do and what works for you. Let the past stay in the past. Don't beat yourself up over it. Just start fresh today and move forward to losing those lbs. You can do it. Remember that this is a life time change and you and all of us will be doing this for life. So to mess up on a weekend here and there is no big deal. We are all human and do the same things when we are away.
Everyday is a fresh start with no mistakes in it. We get out of a day what we put into it. WE make our own choices and you can make great ones for the rest of the week.

Wendy,
Congratulations on your loss. That is great 40 lbs gone forever. That is what I needed to lose. But haven't yet. You keep going girl.

I didn't make it to curves last night. My friend ended up bringing steaks over and we cooked them. She forgot her exercise clothes and sneakers so we couldn't go. We went for a walk instead. So I did get in some exercise. My scale is down 2 lbs so far this week from keeping my points. I am still on track and doing well.

I got an email from the leader. She said they talked about how the meetings are being run and the majority is happy with it for the summer anyways. They want a short meeting. Really no meeting is more like it. She was upset I didn't tell her before I was going to take time off. I told her it was a quick decision because of all I had going on last week and I was overwhelmed. She advised me that another chapter in the area had programs every week and if that is what I wanted I should go there instead.
I told her I would stick it out to see what happens in the fall. She said she needs to find someone to back her up and be there to help her out if I wasn't going to do it. I told her I would honor my position and be there for her. I will give it a chance I guess and see what the winter brings. I also stated that I didn't know how people would feel having a co leader that was gaining instead of losing from being pregnant. So I will go this week and see what is what.
I was back to work at the older couples house yesterday. They let him out of the hospital but he wasn't ready to go. The daughter is still there helping out. I don't know for how long though. They still want me to come over and do what I have been doing. But without running them to the dr's and stuff there really isn't much I can do. So I don't know what I will be doing there. I asked him if he was going to decide what to do when the daughter leaves and he said he doesn't want to think about it. He can hardly walk now and has the brace on his hip 24/7. So I think it is only a matter of time. We will see. I was so looking forward to not working there yesterday then I had to go in.

Megan got stung by a bee and her thumb and hand swelled right up. Didn't know what happened at first. Thought she broke it. But then I found out it was a bee hive she put her thumb on when she had her hand on the railing at my parents house. So I had to deal with that yesterday. She is fine. I gave her benedryl and it took the swelling down and the redness. I think she might be allergic to bees but I am not sure. It was the first time she had been stung before.

So today is another day. I plan on staying on track this week. We are only having weigh in this week. I have to call all the members and let them know. That was in my email box this morning also from sunday. So I have to get busy calling everyone today so they know.

You all have a great day and enjoy the sunshine. We spent another day in the pool yesterday. It was great.
