Good Morning Ladies
I tried to get on yesterday. But then the "beast" kept telling me my password was invalid. Then when I finally got on. I couldnt get on the 3fatchicks site. So got mad and turned the "beast" off and didnt try anymore.
Had weigh in last night gained 3/4 lb. I wondering if that could be fluid. I did have fries and nachos over the weekend. And then its "that time". So not gonna dewell on it. Because if I do. I will just let it eat at me. Then I will eat. I know our team at TOPS probably wont win the contest. But oh well. I know the one lady on our team said last night. I expect everyone on my team to have a loss next week. But to me. To lose weight shouldnt be something competitive. I dont like to compete. So I am thinking that the next time that they have a contest I am not going to do it. Seems I do worse then. I dont feel that losing weight should be about who can lose the most the fastest. Because everyone is different. And we all lose weight at different rates. We may even use the same diet plan but we all would have a different outcome at the scales. Does any of that make sense.
Glad you ladies liked the Fit from within Book chapter. No Sherri I didnt change anything that I know of. I tried to type it right from the book. I thought it was a pretty good book. I try and read on chapter everyday.
Well not much happening here today. Hubby had a 3/4 lb loss last night. Dont know how he did it. On Sat night at the community center he ate 3 pieces of pie and a hambuger. Then a lady bought him 6 pieces and sent them home with him. I had one bite of pumpkin pie. He ate the rest. So not sure how he lost. So now all the ladies at TOPS said last night they were going to go on a pie diet. Going to my Moms for supper tonight. But I wont be eating there. She is going to have buckwheat cakes and sausage. Dont like either. So I am thinking of taking a slim fast bar and some cup of soup. Hubby loves the buckwheat cakes. Well I am going to get off here. Sorry I wrote a book. Just got to typing and didnt know that I had wrote this much. So everyone have a great day. Am thinking of each of you.

YOu hang in there, coco. Hubby better becareful, that pie will sneak up on him. Consintrate on that book. Well with the contest with the girls, i'm still ahead. I did gain, but however bell reminded me that I was sick last week, that is why I lost so much. So here at work, i still have a 3 pound loss, and a tops I have a one pound loss. I will not complain. Doctor said hands are about the same so using my splints help. I'm still on restrictions, and go back in 3 months to keep an eye on it. He also changed my inflamation med, We thought the motrin was making me sick. Loosing weight but not having fun. I managed to do the gazelle this morning, and broke a sweat.
Sherri- I got it, now. I read #1 on the book. This book is awesome. It talks about accepting yourself as you are. Who you are, Physically, and personality wise. Sometimes, i wonder who i am. I also read number 2 in the book. This chapter has some things to consintrate on, but I think i want to soak in # 1 a little. It's all about change.
Everyone have a great day. We can do this

Coco,

You have the right attitude by not dwelling on it. I have a question for you. Are you keeping track of what you eat daily? If not MAYBE you are not getting enough calories in a day. That would cause you to gain weight. Your system thinks it is in a starvation mode and then stores all the food as fat when we don't eat enough. That could be a problem. If it is it will make you happy to have to eat more.LOL
Hang in there and concentrate on you and the book and you will have a loss next week.
That is a good idea about not joining the contest next time. If it puts that much pressure on you and you end up gaining then it isn't worth it. You do what you have to for you. The contests are optional you don't have to do them if you don't want to. You are right we all lose at our own rate even if we were all doing the same plan.

Wendy,

Glad you got it. Sounds like the book is doing you good to. It is so exciting isn't it? I love it. I will read and highlight some more today.

I stuck to my points today but my mind was not focused on anything. Because of that I have a huge headache. I have to get focused here again. I got some problems at school cleared up today. I was nervous about that. So that is taken care of thank god.

Have a great night.

Sherri
