tehshort1 - Holy stress batman! Good for you for just plodding along--sometimes that's all you can do. And feel free to rant here! Ranting does relieve stress, you know!
I've also made it through my last wedding weekend until August. Very excited about that. I've gone to 6 weddings in the past 3 months, all at least 6 hours away. It was getting expensive both money and points wise.
It also has killed my glorious summer outside time. Next weekend, nothing is coming between my and my kayak. Unless its a torrential downpour.
Ugh, this tablet is so frustrating sometimes! I wanted to respond to several of your posts but am too frustrated now about losing everything I just typed, so I will get on the computer tomorrow. In the meantime, I needed to post my weigh in results (I'm kind of superstitious about it now since I always post after w/i). Down 1.6 pounds, which is exactly my weekly average and puts me at exactly 30 pounds down.
Cindy - Great job on the loss! I get you about the tablets...they are great for a lot of things, but others...eh. My husband got me a case with a bluetooth keyboard for my iPad for Mother's Day, which does make things easier.
Jilu--Wow...that is a lot of weddings! But, you made it through the bulk of them....good for you!
So I made it. Lost 40lbs in 4 mths and have maintainted for the last 6wks and made lifetime. Super excited that I did it. Now I have to make sure it is not a free for all n the food department otherwise I will be right back where I started.
I ran on my lunch hour. It is becoming quite the routine for me. I hate getting up early, and I am not too good at really busting a sweat in the evening... But mid-day seems to work just right. Sure, I come back slightly sweaty... ok pretty damn sweaty, but I get it in! Today I ran 2.4 miles and it was very good.
I am right in the middle of finishing a paper that I have been meaning to do for months so... I am tired both mentally and physically. Trying to make great choices this week. . . I have been on the same 10 lbs for 2 months. Its really making me annoyed.
Dixiemom that is awesome!! Congrats for making Lifetime!
Yayyy for you Movielover! What did you buy?
Well, I have two days of vacation left but my overeating ended last night with pizza and a beer. Today, it is back to hardcore tracking and processing the junk out of my body. I didn't even bother to weigh-in this week so I have to work hard to show some kind of loss.
I have had a great time. Except for the semi truck that decided, without blinkers, to come into my lane and force me to jump the curb or risk losing our lives. Very scary but we and my tough little Honda Fit are fine. This happened within a mile of my home, after we had spent three days driving in crazy Atlanta traffic and the North Georgia mountains.
Hi Ladies - Do you mind if one more joins the discussion? I haven't posted in 3FC for a long long time. I'm still a WW member, it's the only trust, tried and true diet for me. I had a recent success of getting down to my lowest weight in years a few weeks ago. Not sure what happened but for the last two weeks I've been stress eating again and back up almost 5 pounds. I sure wish I could stop this roller coaster ride!
Sweetykins Good for you for early prevention! Lol. I sometimes day dream, or day nightmare, about losing a bunch of weight and then suddenly its two years later and I am exactly where I started. I read a lot about people who lose a bunch and then celebrate their goal for 6 months to a year, and it scares me!!! I need to make an extended extended goal in maintenance.
Working on a paper that I have been putting off for WAY too long this weekend. I weighed in on Friday and only lost .6 of a lb. SO ANNOYING. So I got home and did the typical after weigh dinner of pizza. The pizza was filled with MSG or something because it put me in a pizza coma. I woke up and ate a yogurt and some cereal and some candy... and pretty much anything else I could fit in my mouth... Because...well I can't get it to come off, maybe I can mess around and get some to come on, right?! Yeah, I am insane. ANYWAYS. I woke up this morning and the scale said I was down a whole pound. Its good! Maybe that little binge I had last night nudged somethng in the right direction. Maybe I wasn't eating enough? Who knows. I am not going to count the weight for anything, and I will stop late night binging, but it felt good to see a shift in the right direction FINALLY.
yay!!! Congrats dixiemom! Awesome!!! You're an inspiration.
