...Thanks all you guys for all your support to get me through that HUGE hump I was at with my weight....I could so easily have given up without your help....I thought of you all so much during each day....knowing I had friends that understood.

I think I tricked my body....I know that I am a bit of a routine eater....finding it eaier not to think about it ..Just eat the same things all the time. Well yesterday I ate all kinds of different things at different times. [like cherrios and a banana for midafternoon snack] I also managed to get in 5 bottles of water. I roasted vegetables for dinner and made potato salad with vinegar and oil [and mustard] dressing. My husband just shook his head this mornig when I told him and said "I don't know how with all you ate last night"

I had to get up 3 times during the night to go, so I thought perhaps this morning I might be down a pound.....whoo hoo it was 4 pounds....Now the "trick" is to keep it off.....so I am going to go work out....right now. Love, Marti

Debbie, Are you sure you didn't give your grazing monster's twin my address??? He's been camped at my elbow for weeks!

Thanks Angel Debbie.....that old grazing monester is a tough one.....I think the only way I have been able to deal with the no chips etc......is to eat more often, but only good carbs.....I am also working hard to get at least 3 fruits in a day.....not always easy.....as I am such a lazy eater.....[and I have to clean and slice strawberries]...and even though my husband very nicely cuts up a watermelon and a cataloupe and keeps it in the refrigerator.....I sort of don't choose to eat that.....I love the crunchy stuff now.....but in my new plan to shake things up a bit...I am trying to eat different things...and more often.
Thanks for your support always. Love, Marti

YAY MARTI !!!!!!!!!!!

That is just wonderful...I am thrilled for you!!

Sometimes we just need to change up those routines and eat alittle different to get the ball rolling once again.

Hope you enjoy your workout!!

Hugs, connie d

Thanks Connie honey....I did enjoy my workout...today was weights and when I wanted to give up sometimes, I flashed on those Olympic athletes and how they did not reach their goals by giving up....so I continued past the hard parts. I kept my eye on my goal.....or tried to....I was also careful not to hurt myself becuase I don't want to be forced to give it up for any day.....but boy when I got off the bike after 30 minutes .....I could hardly stand with that nasty cracked tailbone...sure is taking a long time to heal. Love, Marati
