Wednesday, May 4th

May the fourth be with you today!  Forgot to grab a weight so I kinda got a pass for yesterday.  Oh the lies flow so easily don't they? All was good until my DH brought out the end of his pie collection and I had a few unintended bites. Time to get tight with the nothing but liquids after 8 pm strategy again. 

It's like a summer morning again so I'm sitting outside enjoying a coffee and watching the birds bathe.  

As they say at Yoga, leave at the door what doesn't serve you (I'm advocating for the no-weigh day)

Well, I suppose it might apply to Costco pies, too.  But you can't always control what others bring thru the door!

Crazy BUSY!!!!  Wanted to check in and say hello...160.7#  All is well in my world but would like it to slow down.  Three more Mondays!!!

I have 4 more (but 5 more weeks. Memorial Day is a free Monday!). My last day is June 10. Yours?

May 26!!

200.5

My Lord, I am retaining water. I freaking have "cankles"! I hate that - especially since I am wearing shorts for our hike today. 

Food was fine yesterday. I am doing well with the no sugar. Carbs are still a bit high, but they are all non sugar carbs - dairy, vegetables and a smidgeon of fruit. Decided not to log in food yesterday. 

Dilemma - One dozen gourmet cupcakes were presented to me this morning by a student. Her mom is trying to open a cupcake food truck. Yes, her cupcakes are that good! I am torn. TORN, I tell you, TORN. Input welcome. Seriously. 

Did I mention the bag of Lindt dark chocolate truffles that my student from Brazil gave me? yeah, got those, too. 

AAAACCCCCKKKKK! 

Yes, I want to eat them. No, I don't want to eat them. 

I would eat one cupcake - giving the rest away before I ate it and forego the chocolate - you can get that any time!

I have given most of them away. I brought a few home. I have not yet decided if I will eat one, but have given myself permission. Chocolate stayed at school and will get added to the principal's admin's chocolate drawer! 

Greetings skinny oVER achievers;

we really are all over achievers you know, having beat some pretty daunting odds.  And we will continue to do so as part of daily lives - brush teeth, go to work, do chores, play with dogs, exercise and stay with healthy diet. Its what we do.

Solid 130 today. no fluttering.  Stress is actually helping me not eat though I do long for extra wine.

Spent the last 2 hours on phone with bank and tech support trying to figure out where money transfers are going, and talking to accountants about paying staff.  Getting closer to having it all worked out. Half the time was being on hold for tech support to let me log in. So stupid.  Lots of computer work lately with printing gallery checks and such. what a mess.  Gallery board meeting tonight and another crisis or two to deal with there.  Fiddle dee dee.

Have a wonderful wild and worthwhile wednesday all you weight warriors.    diane s

Hello fellow journey takers!  I've been trying to read everybody's posts in-between work calls.  Sounds like everyone, as usual, is being honest and open here - I love it!

Paula Carbon, and Joey - you're rocking it!

Shel - so glad your numbers came down, but it was a bizarre story!

Diane O - hugs to Sadie

Linda - it is so easy to lie, without realizing we are, isn't it?

Lesa - glad you checked in!

Devon - I hate those dilemas, as on top of wanting the stuff, I can be such a people pleaser and don't want to hurt feelings.  Why not reward your students for good behavior and share your treasures?

Diane S - hope all works out soon!

Weight was the same again today.  I looked at my food from yesterday and realize the extra cheese I ate before dinner and the sf pudding with whipped cream I had twice probably were the culprits.  Got to be more diligent!  Otherwise things feel much more even the past couple of days.  Dance was a hoot last night and I got quite a workout (for me that is!)

Have a great rest of hump day!

Hugs, Mary
