Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Suz-
That sounds like heaven!!!  :)
Was it cool enough there to snuggle under the blankets? :)
Brit

Oh heck yeah! It's been cool here in the mornings...at least cool for us @ 45-50 degrees. I had the sheet, a blanket, and the down duvet all piled on...it was cozy and perfect! Of course, now that I've said that it's been cool...we are currently headed for a high pressure front to hit, and in CA that = dry heat. Great, more wild fires & no more snuggling for a while .

I awoke to 4 inches of snow this morning!!!
It took me an extra 15 minutes to find all the boots, mittens and hats and winter coats... we barely made the bell!!!  :)
But we're like you kinda- could hit 70 degrees this weekend... but luckily no fires!!!  :)

We get a dusting of snow about every 8-10 years...but it only sticks about every 25 years or so. The last time we had any significant amount of snow on the ground that lasted for more than a couple of hours was in the early 70's...I think I was 5 or 6? I can remember riding my big wheel in the snow with my doxie, Spud, in the little lunch box on the back. The poor thing...she was miserable and freezing and didn't give a damn about the snow.

Lookin' good, Steph...the scales headed in the right direction. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Suz!! 

Seeeeeeeeeee Stephanie, so it wasn't all jus****er that you lost last week right??? Awesome girl!!!

I'm about the same 119-123, think I was 121 last week. Nothing new going on here. Loving that the kiddos are in school. I look forward to that break. I need to do what Suz did and go right back to bed when they leave for school.

Have a great week everyone!

Girl it was a good week but unfortunately this has not been a good eating week and the scale has already jumped back up!  I am so inconsistent and have to get it together.  And I will..I see I can do it and I just have to buckle down and back to the mind set that this is a life long journey...and it does not end when I get to a specific goal...I will have to always be diligent and stop being so lax in my eating habits.  I know I can do it though and I will!

Yup Steohaie you are so right, this is  a life long journey and we need to realize and accept that there are going to be times when we fall, but we won't give up, we're not failures and we'll keep running that race!! There's a song out there with this phrase in it "I get down, but I get back up again" we all need to keep that in mind.

I am amazed really how easy it is to gain weight. If I don'****ch what I eat or graze all day,  I'll notice it in the way I feel (like crap) and/or what the scale says the next day,.  Then there are times when I'll go out with my friends for drinks (shhhh) and know that I'm consuming a lot of calories and not gain any weight.

I still think it all has to do with where we are in our cycle, in one month I can go from 119-125!! Same time each month too. I was curious so I started keeping trach.

Good luck Stephanie. You are so real and down to earth and such an asset to our message board. Thanks for sharing your struggles with us and soon we'll be sharing your joy as you see that scale moving!!

Thanks Janie!! As always your message is right on time!!
