good morning ladies
All is good this morning.
I have been reading the posts, just haven't had the time to respond. Sorry.
Susie-some people would say that once we "start" to lose weight, and then get a little laxed in the process, is because of the fear. Fear of the unknow. Fear of change. Fear of actual failure. So we sabatoge (sp) ourselves, so we don't ever make to the final goal. This way if we do make it and gain it back, we won't be a total failure. Let me just say, I do believe it. I've been at time very successful in my weight loss efforts. I was heavy all durning school, and final at 25 I did something about it. I lost 100 pounds. People do treat you different. Men notice you, people compliment you, people are proud of you. Got married, shouldn't of, started to gain some of it back. and the story goes on. But you also have to realize, that if you lose this weight, the way i did the first time, you will gain it back. You can't just eat salads every day for the rest of your life, and you can't ever not have another french fry again. Ok you can, but look out when you do what something different. I've been there. The key to it is exercise, and moderation. Instead of getting a super sized french fry, get a small, eat a small peice of cake instead of a large one, eat half of a candy bar instead of a whole one. Making small changes will give you benefits. Making spirit and mind changes will also benefit you.
Sherri-good for you exercising. Good goals too. You can do it.
Hope all the other missing in actions are doing ok. I know how life can be sometimes.
Summer-hope dd is doing better even more. Thoughts and prayers still go out to you all.
Eleni-glad the test came out fine, now the next hurdle to climb. You can do it. Glad you could drive, too. It always feels different doing it after you haven't done it in a while.
Penny-when is your trip again. You are going to have sooooooooo much fun, if you haven't already.
Me-Good. I mangaged to walk away from the scale with a turtle last night which is good, since i have been eating a lot of halloween candy already, and my neverousness with this house thing has totally kicked in. I ended up bitting all my nails off. So it's back to the drawing board for that. done it once, can do it again. Matter of fact that goes with anything, i'm including the weight thing. We had our final inspection on Friday. Found out on Saturday, the "Fannie Mae" signed the necessary papers, and they are in the snail mail, which thanks to "Columbus Day" is late. I hate government holidays. They get too many days off. So do teachers now a days. Sorry teachers. Brandon doesn't go one friday in November. Amazing. Ok, back on track. Found out yesterday that the appraisal from our mortgage company will be held on Wednesday afternoon. We are trying to close soon. I'm hoping next week(brandon's birthday, and mine, but i don't have them anymore.
), but it will more than likely be the week after. (which i'm schedule for possible jury duty
) It is getting cold outside. Our realtor did tell us that we could start packing some stuff now. Everything was looking good. I'm just not breathing till the keys are in our hands. I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to take some time off. I have 2 weeks at christmas time off, but I may change it to one week it I have to pay the daycare anyway. It will cost 15 a day extra for brandon. Not much of a savings for him going there. He is no problem either. But rules are rules. So i'm thinking to get settled in the way I want I may do it. The week thing. Talk to sitter today about christmas pay.
Yeah and you know what. Paint was on sale this week, half off, and I can't even buy it. Bummer. Well I'm thinking of looking at dishwashers briefly today. Later gals.
Terrific Tuesday
Great idea about the exercise and studying! That sounds wonderful!
