Monday Morning Weight In

 Im out of town today and so I cant use my scale which I prefer.

My mom's scale says im 5 lbs down from when I left home on Friday! I have no idea if it's right, but hell, I can ride this little happy wave for a day. 

High - 420
2 weeks ago - 233
This - 230
Goal - 180

I had such a great weekend I couldnt really care what the scale says. The week was a little different with massive food issues popping up but I figured out and was able to rein it in over the weekend. 

- I set a record for myself and ran a mile in 11:50 - my first mile when I started this journey was 30 minutes. 
- I squeezed into a size 14 dress this weekend. I had so much fun shopping with a friend who had RNY in 2008, and now we are the same size, so we spent hours being silly and just trying on all sorts of stuff (and stuff I'd never wear in public)

So, what  ever the scale says, the other NSVs will mpotivate me to keep going at this point. 

Cant wait to see how every one else is doing!

Last couple of weeks have been a real rollercoaster for me. But just working on making some new habbits and keeping them. I think I am headed in the right direction. I can't change a lot of things like if or when I get to have wls, if I can keep my house or not and our financial issues, but I figure I can change how I eat, and how I raise my kids. So I am just moving forward with the idea that I am going to strive to be healthier. Hoping that with taxes/hubby's bonus I can maybe invest in some workout dvds/clothes and get moving a bit more too.

Hope you all have a wonderful Monday.

Alison! What great NSVs you had. Sounds like a great weekend.

 I like your attitude and think you will do great no matter what happens. Just keep your eye on the ultimate prize. 

As expected, no loss this week.....2 weeks in a row would be asking too much

HW---428

Goal----185 maybe

Oh well, all is good!

Looking forward to a FL vacation in March---10 days of no work, no computer and no scale (that's a little scary!)

Alison--congrats on the NSVs!

Im just hoping its legit - hahaha. 

im going on vacation in March, but its a cruise. 7 days. Ahhh!!!!  I'm a little scared, but definitely prepared to deal with the challenge. Seeing as how I'll have no stress, I should be good to go. 

Im glad all is good!!

Thanks Alison for the reinforcement! Need all the help I can get.

And vacation in March? What lucky ladies you are. I've forgotten what vacation is since I think my last one was 2009. LOL

I'm sure you guys will do great while you get some relaxation in.

You've done great over the last 3 weeks----down 10!!!

If you have cable, check out the On Demand feature. There might be a fitness area. There are a zillion of workout options and you can get an idea of different routines that you might like in the future.

Vacation?---I took "early retirement" instead of a layoff. Life should be a vacation but had to "consult" to find work. Can't live on retirement $$$ these days.
