Bandit,
I love that you pack up all your meals and snacks for the day. How smart. And also it's good to hear you tweaking your program to make it suit you better. Many people like to start their points at night, and I'm glad it's working for you. Good luck with finding a good tenant. I hear your uneasiness about dbf and all, but you still own your home and it's there for you if you need it.
hooray for winning $1,000. That's amazing! You'll have so much more fun in Vegas now that you've got your trip paid for via Bingo. What fun. I also hear you about the sabotage. Man--I think that's what I did when I finally went below my 10% and it meant so much to me, and now I'm having trouble again. Up three pounds and too busy to write, etc.
Lauren,
I'm so happy you posted even though you're going through tricky times.
You know you can do this. Do you want to prioritize or is this not the time? I'm sending you a big
and the conviction that if you want to be OP you will. I want to remember good ole' Henry Ford more often and know that what I think determines what I do.
Yesterday and today have been perfect OP days with journaling, etc. The exercise hit me a little hard, so I had to stay off the treadmill for a couple of days. Tomorrow I'll be back on. Today I shopped really hard. Lin, does that count as moving and exercise?
I am going to WI tomorrow at WW's even though I won't like the numbers. On the + side, I ordered PXL at Coldwater Creek and most of the clothes fit, snuggly, but they fit! Can you hear me hollaring all over? I am so thrilled. I think the treadmill is helping to reshape my weight because I weigh the same or close to it, and yet everyone I met recently has mentioned how much thinner I look and I am in a smaller size. Yay!
Here's to all the good signs we have to recognize to keep ourselves going in this life long endeavor. (Hey, was that a pretty good way of verbalizing around the "diet" word?)
Gotta run--let's all keep on keepin' on.
Love and good vibes,
Judy
