Monday Morning Weigh In

This past week has been one of change around here...Time to change our "Stinkin' Thinkin'" and become more POSITIVE.  I know I have been guilty of that as well. It's hard to be positive when you are unemployed, the weather is gray and gloomy, and freezing all the time, but you've gotta do whatcha gotta do!!! I've made a pact with myself and others to do so, so YOU can too!  Our lives are amazing, we've been given a wonderful opportunity to change everything in it, so why are we giving in and becoming a "Debbie Downer"? Not gonna do it!!!  So tell us how you are going to change your "stinkin' thinkin'" and have a "go and get'em" attitude?? 

ME? I'm doing it right here and now!  Cuz if I don't, I know some of my buds will come after me with a BIG STICK!!!..

Sooooo, moving right along here. I'm hanging in there, weight-wise. Not gaining, but not losing either, I guess that's OK!  We've heard about me...how are YOU doing??  Here we go.. Jump on the "HAG" , record those digits and let us know how you are doing...Losses or gains, all results welcome here.  Y'all have a great day!  I refuse to give up or give in!

I am up early this morning and didn't get much sleep last night.  My BIL called last night around 11:30 pm and you know when you get a call that late it is never good news.  Kyle's Mom only has a few days left so I put him on a 6:45 am flight out of Hobby to Denver this morning to go say his good-byes - just got home.

Other than that sad news had a pretty good week.  Went to the gym last night and worked out hard.  Still maintaining so I am happy about that.

**edited to add:  oops!  sorry I didn't read your post about positive vibes before I posted about Kyle's Mom.  It wasn't unexpected.  We'll see next week how well *I* handle the extra stress with him gone all week! 

Yep, I know how that is...am sorry to hear about Kyle's Mom. We are all at an age where our parents are passing on. You know it's coming, but it's so dayamed hard!  Glad you haven't let the stress-monkey get you! I want to beat the little bugger to death...LOL!

Good Job, Sarah!
Hugs to you and Kyle, Mari

Good morning,
having coffee and eating my calcium chews....yummy
had a lot of retail therapy this weekend, mainly stuff for the boys and baseball season..
I did purchase a pair of Dr. Scholl's fitness walker shoes for myself, they are like the Skechers Shape ups...I was already sore from playing ball with the boys so im not sure how much is from the shoes and how much is from them...
T.O.M. came to visit this week...im just 1.2 lbs from wonderland, I hope to see it this week....

Plan for the day...drink more liquids...stay on point with protien...snuggle with baby child as he is home with an upset stomach....cleaning up vomit at 1 am is not my favorite thing to do...just so you know....

have a wonderful day...God bless you all

How do you like your shoes?  I almost bought a pair of the MDT (where the style came from originally) several years ago, but couldn't justify the price...still can't justify $100 for the Skechers.  Just keep plugging away, Ms T -- You'll hit Onederland really soon!  Maybe even this week!  WooHoo!!!!! You can do it! You can do it!!

Hugs, Mari 

I like em, just when you walk up hill its weird cause you have no heal to push off from and it looks like I'm pushing a mule cart...lol

These were only $49.99 at Sears....i gravitate to Dr. Scholl's because i have a honking heel spur...i had to rent crutches a few years back till i found DR.S shoes...

I love em!!!

Thanks for the encouragement...I'm almost gonna be sad if i dont see the 100's...but then i put so much pressure on myself and tend to fail ....I'm just gonna chill and let it ride....lol

"Stinkin'Thinkin'" here, too.  An ex-bf sent me a message yesterday saying I've gotten too full of myself since I lost weight and I need to come back down to earth.  That I'm not the same person he used to know and love.  Not appreciating that so much!!  And now I'm mad at myself that I let him put me in a funk.  WTH???  Over it now and moving on!!!!!

Message him back to let him know that THAT is ONE of the many reasons he's an EX!  You are WORTH being full of yourself BECAUSE you've lost the weight...you were worth it BEFORE losing the weight but FEEL it now!  Then a polite BUH BYE!!!   Lol!

Thanks, Kris!!  Great advice!!

Laura

I can see why this person is an EX-bf...with that kind of support you don't need any naysayers in your life!!!  Geez! Yep, water off your back and movin' on down the road!  Folks like that don't deserve my friendship. and I would send him this little smiley face... LOL
