Monday

Good morning all! I hope all the moms had a good day yesterday. I enjoyed it with my boys. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. We did end up going to Attica after all and had a nice lunch. Just kind of hung out the rest of the day. Nothing too stressful.

Today I actually got up when the alarm clock went off at 5am. Me and the dog, Cookie, went for a 30 minute walk. She was tickled, because she got a can of food when we got home, in addition to her 'going potty outside' treat. Such a good little dog. She truly brings me comfort.

Today starts me trying to hop back on the wagon once again. I have maintained at 160lb and not gained back more weight, but I haven't lost any of the 15 pounds I've gained. I know I can do this.

I am glad to hear you decided to have lunch with your mom. 

Don't ya just love your lil furbabies, they are always so happy to see us.  They seem to always be in a happy and joyful mood no matter what their days have in store for them.  My dogs get a can of food every morning before I leave for work so once they see me put on my shoes they go nuts.  I have one who is a chinese crested (not the naked ones,, she is called a powderpuff) she yodels.  So when she gets excited she sings me a song..its way too cute.

Its so hard to get back on track, just hang in there the first few days will be the hardest.  I know for me once I have a few successful days under my belt it gets easier because my cconfidence and self esteem improve.  Hang in there and keep your head up!

Glad to hear your day went well yesterday.  My thoughts are with you. And you are all in my prayers too. 
Yes you can do this... those 15 lbs have no chance against a strong, courageous woman like you!!
God love your heart.

That sounds special Linda. Glad you had a good day!  My dogs are mostly outside but they do come in sometimes and though they have a large pen outside they love to go on walks. I need to take the time to just go walking. My husband and I keep talking about it but, when that alarm clock rings I just ugh!!  and reset it for another half hour.
Some of us are going to do the 5 day pouch test this week, do you want to do it with us? Tracy said something about starting tomorrow.
