Dreary Monday
 

Hi ladies,

I only have a min right now. But today is the first day of my new life. I have to make some real changes for the better. I am sad to say that I gained 7 lbs this week. I am not happy about it. I am now at 203. This is not healthy for me or the baby. Wendy you are right about the stress it isn't worth it and I can't do anything about it so why bother with it. I have to concentrate on me and the baby. The baby is relying on me right now for the nutrition and I am not doing a very good job of taking care of it right now. I have decided today that today is the day to change. I am going to eat healthy and stay away from the junk and stick to my points once again.

I will start checking in every night before I go to bed as well. The boards help me so much and I can't do this on my own. I will check back in later.

Have a great day all.

Hey there ladies!
Well as I always say....(Today is a new day with NO mistakes in it)
{as yet};)

Mom- YOU GO GIRL :love:

Shortstack- Glad Dr. Phil is helping you.... Sometimes we just need a push in the right direction :D

Sherri- Good attitude ;) The baby will thank you for it, and you will feel much better too :balloons:

Well guys there are more people I wanted to address this morning but I running late (as usual) I am thinking of you all!!
Off to cook the girls breakfast and run to curves :wave:

Hi Everyone,

Not much going on here. I did my 2 mile walk this morning and have been getting the wall in the bathroom ready to paint. We took down the old towel racks and I had to patch the holes. Now I'm waiting for the patching plaster to dry so I can sand it down. I'm not much in the mood for painting, but its got to be done.

Hope you are all doing good and staying on plan. We only have a few months until Christmas and we need to keep our weight down now to balance out our holiday gains. I really feel like I can finally reach my goal. The main thing that is concerning me now is do I want to lose another 24 lbs. My skin is getting too loose and needs to be firmed up. I'm afraid that I will be wrinkled. I guess that I need to do some toning up exercises, but does that shrink up the skin? I've also heard of firming lotion, does anyone know if that works?

Coco, Eleni, Summer, Wendy, Sherri, Wanda, Christie, Penny, Marilyn, Geri ........I'm thinking of you all and hope you have a great day. :grouphug: Here's a hug for you all.

Oh boy, another week. The weekend was tough eating wise, but today is starting off well. Did get alot of outdoor time in.....at least for me. We got both vehicles washed and waxed, 2 coats each. We are rapidly running out of warmer days and the wind was so cold yesterday. We are in our Indian Summer right now, so I'm enjoying everyday there is sun and no snow. Took dd out with us Sat when it wasn't as windy, but she didn't do well and coughed alot. She's so touchy. :(

Sherri, hang in there. The stress will never go away, we can hope all we want, but we just need to know how to deal with it better. That is the toughie!! My best wishes are with you. I'm always told to try relaxation techniques, maybe that can help you. Finding the time is hard for me. Take care of you! :)

Nita, you sure sound driven and focused. I'm so proud of you.....but after all these years, you GOT IT!!!! You're not kidding we need to really be aware of our eating now due to the holidays rapidly approaching. Not a dieters best time of year. I plan on having a 'black' month with you!

Eleni, You sound like you are feeling great. Getting things done around the house help the psyche also and things feel positive. Do you think it is the med change? I am sooooooo PROUD of you for not eating between meals. You should have a nice loss this week. Keep up the positive mindset..........you 'look' wonderful in it!

Christie, looks like you are doing well on WW. You go girl!!! Hope you had a good time at Curves. How ofter do you go?

Hope everyone else is doing great. I'm so bad about remembering the newer posters names, please forgive me......but don't forget to come and become a 'regular' so we can get to know each other. We have a small group of 'oldies' here, but the support we give helps alot. Take care and don't forget to drink your water!!!!!

Hugs, Summer

Geri,

I just wanted to answer you because I didn't get a chance this morning. Thank you by the way. I have a daughter that is 5 she just started kindergarten and is very very excited about the baby and can't wait. She to is hoping for a girl. I just hope I have a healthy baby is all and I am doing my part now to ensure that. I did get back on the WW today. It is the only thing that truly works for me if I am honest with it and stick to my points. You are doing great yourself. Keep up the great work. You are like a lot of us with the gains and losses throughout our lives. Someday we will all be at goal.

Nita,

You are doing great. Yes the toning will help you a lot girl. It tightens up your skin. You will notice a huge difference when you start doing it. Do you know what exercises to do? Keep up the great work. Are you happy with your weight you are at now? That is the main question. Take it from there and decide on your own what your real goal should be. You have to be happy with the end result. You have worked so hard to get where you are. You are doing great and I admire you.

Eleni,

You are doing great as well. I am so proud of you as well for not eating between meals. I know that is a hard one for you and you are doing great changing that habit. I am sure it will make a difference on the scale. Keep up that great attitude and you will make it. Sorry I missed your call this weekend. I hope to hear from you soon.

Christie,

You are doing great as well. You are busier now then you were when you worked. I am glad the WW is working for you and that you enjoy the curves. I loved it to. You are doing great I can tell you are truly happy with your life right now and that is a great place to be.

Summer,

Glad to hear from you. I hope melissa is feeling better and not coughing as much. I am like you and I am pushing myself to get back on track. I am going to take your advice and I am going to take a nice hot bath tonight when I get done here before I go to bed. I am going to break out the candles as well.LOL You can do this to lady. You just have to set your mind to it and do it for YOU. You are worth it remember.

Wendy,

How did you make out at weigh in today? I have been wondering. I am sure you had a loss you did better this week on plan. Let me know. I miss chatting with you.

Penny,

How are you doing girl? Did you start your exercise yet? I know you were going to be doing that. Haven't heard from you and been wondering how you have been.

Coco,

How are you doing? Are you having a great start to the new week? You can do this to remember you have to take time for you. How is the Avon selling going? Have you sold anything yet?

As for me I had a great day. I stayed focused at work all day and didn't mess up. I also stayed within my points today. I had a total of 26 pts for the day and that is where I need to be everyday. So I am off to a great start. I am proud of me for doing so well today.

I am off to soak in a hot tub I will catch you all tomorrow. Have a great night.

Sherri
