June Challenge Day 6, 7 & 8

Hi Everyone... Sorry I was MIA this weekend, but Relay For Life took up all of my time. It will probably take me all week to catch up on my sleep & recover... It's all good, though. Our little village of 2,500 residents raised over $45,000... I think closer to $50,000.... Big round of applause for us Even though we had EXTREMELY bad weather. Raining & cold. Wasn't even 50 degrees.. UGH..... We had such a good turn out considering. Anyway... I walked about 5 miles on Saturday. Didn't do anything yesterday or today... Brought my daughter for x-rays on her foot. We thought she cracked it, but thankfully, she didn't. Just a nasty sprain.... How did everyone else do these past 3 days??? I was 193 again on Friday... Sunday 191.5 & today 191. Maybe it's going back down. We'll see once life gets back half way normal again.. Hope you're all doing great. Tammy

Congratulations on Relay for Life. You have worked so hard on this, Tammy. It is such a good cause. Koodos for you! I walked/jogged 2 miles on Sunday. I did not exercise yesterday. I felt horrible. I have not lost one single pound or inch since the first week in May. I desperately want to begin losing again. My biggest fear before surgery was ending around 170 and then losing no more. I have been down to this size numerous times in the past years doing Weigh****chers and jogging. I hope it is not over for me. June 1: 182.5 June 2: 182.5 June 3: 181 June 4: 179 June 5: 180 June 6: 182 AGAIN!! June 10: 183 June 11: 181 June 12: 180 June 13: 183 LOL, Sherry 276/183/140

I've heard alot of people say that when you hit a weight that you were at for a while at one time in your life, your body remembers that and wants to hold on to it for a while. My sister was stuck at a weight from the beginning of February until like the end of May & she finally started to lose again. She's like 9 weeks ahead of me, so maybe it's our turn now. Hang in there, it'll come off Tammy

Tammy 190's? Is that the weather report? Low 90s? You are doing AWESOME!!! I'm still at 220- but its TOM again- and my hormones are doing me in..not as far as food choices go- but in terms of eating more than usual..and becuz of my iron- I begin the day being tired..I think Im around 215- I will proably see the loss in another week. Oh well! In the meantime- I have been working out- just harder to fit into my schedule- I did exercise - early in the day- friday/ sat/ sunday- just not my regular routine- took neighborhood walks..now that the weather is getting nicer, Im going to try getting up earlier ( and I love my sleep) and getting outdoors before my day begins.. I have a gazelle Im going to put outside and get going with that- I just hate it - with all this rain. Anyway- keep up the good work- and even though I haven't been around to post as much as I usually do- Im here and workin it! hugs, Donna

Hi Donna, Ya, wouldn't the 90's would be nice??? Heck the 70's or 80's would be nice right now. Although, the forcast is looking up for this week.. YAY.... Would like to see the 180's again in weight...it'll happen sooner or later. You're doing great with your exercise. Hang in there, we all seem to have dips in our motivation. I always have good intentions to get moving early & 9 times out of 10, my butt stays in bed .... Oh well, we'll get there together. ((((HUGS)))) & Tammy

Hi Tammy! Thanks for worrying about me. I am doing ok. Still not great but better. It's TOM for me so that makes things even worse with the moods. But I started my Celexa this morning so we shall see if that helps... I sure hope so. We had an extremely busy weekend. Friday night I cleaned. Saturday we had a funeral...ugh! Saturday night my sisters and I and our husbands went out and played pool and shot the sh*t. It was o****il my sister told me she heard a rumor about my husband. See... she has said stuff like this before. So I don't hold any truth to it. But it still makes you think ya know? Especially with the way things have been between my husband and I. I hope it's just a faze.... I trust him and don't believe the rumor. Sunday we went to the local logging show. Walked around the vendors for about an hour and a half. And then sat for 4 hours in the sun and watched the show. I wore capris and a camisole so I got some good color. Was wishing I had worn shorts though... it got really warm! Then that evening we went to a friend's house for a barbecue. I am sure glad I have you girls. It made my heart happy to know you are worried about me. Don't worry too much. I will be ok. I have been through this my whole life so this is no different. I worry that I am not hungry though. I have to force myself to eat lately. Just a million things going on in my mind that are upsetting and make me not want to eat. I am working on that. But it's pretty frustrating at times... Thanks again for all of you. I love you all very much and I am so in if we decide to meet!!!! Take care sweeties, Lori 281/174/140-150
