Monday Morning Weigh-Ins

Good Monday Morning My January Lovelies!

Okay, so I am finding it somewhat humorous to have to click the "Post New Topic" button every Monday...there is nothing new about posting the same thing, week after week. lol
Oh well, someone has to do it, right?

Surgery/high: 251.5
Last Monday: 140.8
Today: 142.0
So what do you know...I can weigh something other than 140.8? Too much indulgence while watching movies with the kids over the weekend, I think. Those damn Red Ropes and Reese's Pieces are like little bits of hell on earth. Enough of that!

In other news, I am slowly creeping my way up two wait-listed classes ...I need the both to graduate by January, and to keep my sanity. They are short session classes (16 wks. of learning crammed into 8 wks...like summer school classes) that don't begin until October. Cross your body parts for luck! I'm gonna need it!

Finally, the part you are all waiting for...get your butts in gear and post for goodness sake! I feel like I'm talking to myself! I want to see those lovely faces that began this journey with me.... Ready...and GO!!

OK FINALLY OFF ON MONDAY...I'M AT 158.4  5"4.   I'VE BEEN ON VACATION AND YES IT'S BEEN HARD I DIDN'T GAIN AND I DIDN'T LOOSE...YES THAT RED AND BLACK ROPES ARE DEFINITELY HARD TO RESIST.  I DIDN'T THINK I COULD EAT THAT BUT I DID...LICORICE WAS MY DOWNFALL SO I'M NOT GETTING THAT ANYMORE.  I'M JUST GRATEFUL I DIDN'T GAIN.  LOVE PATTY!    ps  I DID DO CURVES TODAY AND I'M EATING LOTS BETTER.

Good on you!! No gain or loss on vacation is a fantastic thing! And it's great you are going to Curves and eating well...keep moving and eat well is my motto.

Ha...I strongly dislike (I try not to ever say "hate" lol) black licorice, but the red ropes are divine. They have got to leave this house or at least be better hidden! lol

Boy I sure hate that I ever even tried to put a "candy" in my mouth!  I remember those first 10 months when sugar never touched my lips.  Of course I thought that it would be worse than prison if I could never eat candy again - so . . . I remember when I tried my first itsy bitsy mini bite Snickers  . . . what no throwing up, no foamies, could this be true???  It was true and then after I knew that I tried other things. 

Of course, I still don't over indulge and I always have to have dessert.  I will never do ice cream again as it still makes me sicker than a dog.  But, candy is my weakness and I know that sugar is probably why I'm still stuck at 168.

I did ride by bicycle last week 6.5 miles in 40 minutes that was a great feeling.  I need to do that about 4 times per week!

Have a great week everyone!

Suz - what no 140.something??  Well at least you know what did it and you are still in your comfort zone right? 

Good luck with your class schedule! 

Yep, I am well within my zone...in fact I am already back down on the scale.

Thanks for the luck...I need all I can get!

Well Suz I would take 142 anytime but I broke the scale this morning at Curves at 157.  It was my monthly weigh in ....I was so excited and worked harder and ate lighter this morning that I realized I was actually maybe hungry.  So I ate lunch.  I'm just so happy to have lost that sticking pound.  I've been at 158 for over 3 weeks...crazy huh...I just have to lay off that sticking glass and 1/2 of wine...I can do it ...I know I can...Love Patty

The wine tends to be one of my sticking points, too...I just have half a glass each night, but I really miss it when I don't have it. It's funny because I never really had a liking for it before surgery.

Congrats on that one pound...it's amazing how one stubborn pound can drive us nuts!
