Good morning. The sun is shining and the birds are singing. Hopefully today will be better.I did terrible with eating and attitude yesterday.Was on my "pity pot" most of day.But time to put that behind me and get my s--- together.It would be too easy to undo my good.The hardest part about my being on the South Beach is that it is a sure but very slow way to lose.I have to constantly remind my self to be patient. It was 2 in the afternnon before I finally forced myself out to pool. I put bathing suit on at 8 pm.Went back to bed at 10am. I only did a little over an hour.Was glad thunder storm ran me out. I was amazed I lasted as long as I did. Walking back and forth in a pool is very boring. But always glad when it is done.
Have to watch my eating too as I ate all day yesterday. Back in the pickles again. I never ate this many pickles back when I was having babies. They don't have many calories but it is the salt that is very bad for me. Will have to keep them out of house for awhile.
Ok I have rambled along here so I will go find the bathing suit. This time I will go in this morning.
Have a great day

Hello TOPS pals,
Today I am happy to say that my weigh in on Thursday took me back down to where I was the week before. I really hate gaining and losing the same weight. I'm in a personal challenge with another leader from far, far away..... LOL. We're trying to challenge each other to finally finish the push to KOPS. I think I'm far too comfortable in my new thinner skin, but really need to finish this job and go on to the bigger job of maintaining.
Thank you Belle for your kind words. One pound at a time is a much easier task than "oh, I have to lose 75 pounds". It's too much to think about and way too hard to do. But we can lose one pound this week can't we? And next? And next? That's my new goal, to just make a loss.
Have a wonderful day everyone, our weather is overcast but the sun is peeking through just enough to make me happy.
