Monday Healthy Check In's

  <---- that's the best hammer I could find. Is that how you use it?  Good for you Chelle. Keep them both scared.

Annette!    Love the smiley!  That is about it!!   Oh Dr. M thinks I am just crazy!  He laughs and smiles the whole time I am there!  I love it!  I feel good with my fill..

WOOWOO for the fill!!!!!  and for the 74 lbs loss!  That's amazing!!!  I can just see you now with that sledge hammer! (oops, OH doesn't have a smiley with a sledge hammer) Too cute!!!

Hi Deb. 6 1/2 pounds is all good. I'm glad that it's working for you. That is equal to 26 (?) sticks of butter on your body. Now,as for the exercise, do you want me to come over and put you on that treadmill myself? Sometimes exercise works best for me first thing out of bed because it still feels like a dream. I know that you know that once it's out of the way, there is a sense of accomplishment  that kind of defines the rest of your day. It puts you on the right track.  The eating plan is terrific, but adding the exercise will help it to come off more quickly. Again, you know this (better than anyone)...I am just being my normal naggy self. You were cheering me on and now it's my turn for you. ************************************************************************** The Good, Bad, and The Ugly: My "GOOD" is that I went to a wedding on Saturday and got through it for the first time ever without the cakes and desserts.( Usually mine and whoever didn't eat theirs at my table)  I stuck with cheese slices and fruits. I also continued to walk the whole weekend. My "Bad" is that I ate waaay too much fruit on the weekend, especially at the wedding and I have to limit my nuts. I ate the fruit as if it were going out of style.  How do we say, "Portion Contol" ??? LOL  Also, my "BEAN Exerciser"  is just sitting in my den everyday just staring at me. There must be some deep seated psychological thing going on with me and it. I have a Drs. appt. this afternoon. I now weigh  on my scale 172 pounds from 230 pounds. My dress was a size 14. I keep thinking that it was mismarked because it is just so darn hard to believe. It was soooooo pretty and was on clearance at TJ Max for 16.99.  (LOL...probably because it was sized wrong.) It was a really summery dress....not black for a change. Sometime soon I will try to put up the picture. Not as savvy as others with the computer. Anyway, have a wonderful week. Take Care~~ Diane ALL THAT WE CAN DO IS JUST KEEP TRYING OUR BEST.

OK so what time are ya going to be here????? Hun when I was doing both the gym and home exercise I would do my treadmill as soon as I got up in the morning and it DID work for me. Now since I am only going to be doing it at home I have to do it in the AM because I do not have A/C and it is nasty during the day. Thanks so much for the post hun and I am really going to try to get back onto some kind if routine. Thanks again sweets!

Diane!!!!!!!!! Go baby go!!!!!!!!!
