Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Monday 2/11

Good morning. Hope everyone had a lovely weekend.

Today's weight: 138.0

It's supposed to get up to 61 degrees today. Not Spring yet, but I can see it coming!

171.3 today.

36 and rainy this morning in Jersey City. Ugh.

The rainy may be 'ugh' but the 36 is nice - how high are you heading.

Did you get a lot of snow? Given how high temps are supposed to go, I'm concerned about melt-off flooding in some places.

Not too bad in Jersey - I was in Minnesota while it stormed here in Jersey. Today it's mostly slush on the streets.  Rain and 40s should melt most of that over the next couple of days.

Good Morning!

Should I even tell you we're going to be in the low 60's today? I have to try to get out of the office for a walk.

157.6 today. Still trying to figure maintenance out, but so far, so good.

176.8 this morning 

Up a pound from Friday (My last weigh in).  No stress.  I had a wonderful weekend away with DH.  We went through a bunch of shopping in the outlet malls up in the mountains, had a horribly mediocre dinner at a restaurant that used to rock, and then I spent Sunday showing him places from my past that had special meaning.

It was really a beautiful weekend and I am blessed to have it and him both.

I splurged a little bit on some food (i.e. Apple fritters and a homemade chocolate ganache iced pound cake) but am back on track now that were back.

I did have one kind of fun experience that I will post about on the main board.

Hope you all had a great weekend as well.

Sounds like a great time!  We went to that area years ago and met up with friends to hike in the mountains.  What a beautiful area!

Good morning all!  Today's weight is 179.7.

Took the day off for my birthday and DH did too.  This is my second birthday since I was sleeved and on days like today, I realize just how much my life has changed for the better.  I looked at some valentine's treats from a bake sale at church yesterday, and thought for a moment about how good the stuff would taste.  My next thought was "and it will kill me", and that was enough for me to be able to dismiss it all.  I know today that that junk will be the death of me, and I want to live too much to chance it!

We're going to our favorite restaurant for lunch, and a movie after, while the kiddos are in school!   I plan to eat a little more than my usual lunch, so it's more of a "brunch day".  I usually do eat 3 meals, though sometimes on the weekends we'll just do brunch, and then dinner later. 

We're all dug out up here in central Maine.  Once our driveway was plowed out Saturday night, we were able to go out for a little bit, though we stayed close to home.  Today is supposed to be near 40, with some rain, sleet and snow later.  I am so ready for spring!  The ski areas up here are very happy though, so I guess some good is coming from all of this white stuff!

Good Morning!!!  Cold here, but suppose to be in the 50's! 

168.5...I am showing a gain of 1.2#.  It's a little frustrating, but gonna keep doing what I'm doing and try for better!

Have a great week!

Good morning all,

We're supposed to be in the low 60's all week.  I'm still wearing my thermals though, just in case :-)

100.6 today.  Had an interesting moment at the mall yesterday.  I've always known that I have strong food associations with this mall.  Pre-op, I couldn't walk in there without buying a bag full of See's chocolates to eat in the car on the drive home.  Yesterday, as I walked passed the chocolate shop, I got a distinct image in my mind of me just relaxing or melting into the chocolate - just like old times!  Then a fraction of a second later, my next thought was that if I gave in to the chocolate, it would be the beginning of the end for me and my new lifestyle.  Both of these thoughts came unbidden....oddly, it was as if I was jus****ching the thoughts as they happened.  And they happened really fast.

Anyway, I thought it was interesting, if nothing else.  And no, I did not have any chocolate yesterday. 

Have a good day everyone!
