Booey's New Lifestyle Changes, Journal

I was thinking about you last night Terri. WOW, 2 pounds huh? CONGRATULATIONS. I'm sorry about your bad week. I hope Thomas gets feeling better and you continue to see the light at the end of the tunnel for yourself.

Karen secretly hoping she will lose 2 pounds overnight for w/i tomorrow but with AF here and the scale has been creeping up....she highly doubts it.

Thanks Karen, I am just waiting for AF to show up, she is due here anytime today and I am going in for a physical this afternoon so he (my doctor) may not be able to do "that" part of the exam this time, oh well poor me...not.

Good luck with the WI, I was totally expecting a gain and a big one, ww never ceases to amaze me.

Take care.

Ok, I just looked and we both haven't posted in our journals for a week! I was thinking about you last night as I was having way too many pork chops in every beer last night I hope WI went well.?.

I'm almost afraid to get on the scale with all the entertaining I've been doing lately.

Hi, I have been awol for another week, the dark side was calling my name and with Thomas ill, I really have had no time or motivation to get here. I had WI last night and was up all I lost last week but I know why. Tuesday night I had my popcorn and totally over did it on the seasonings so it is all water retention. It will be gone next week plus some. I know I can do it and am seeing brighter skies on my horizon. The weekends have also been a challenge for me because I tend to stop journalling what I am eating, but not this weekend. I am going to really focus on it and make it a priority. I am also pulling out my Yoga DVD and will attempt it again along with my gazelle. I am back in control and will shed these pounds.

I did great at the doctors last week for my physical, he was able to do the complete exam and the only issue he really wanted to discuss was......my weight. I told him I am back at weight watchers and that is really all he wanted to hear. Everything else about me is great, the only health issue is my weight and as long as I am working on it he is very happy.

Thanks for checking up on me Karen, we discussed all the social activities we have coming up at my meeting last night and our leader suggested that we aim to MAINTAIN over the next 40 days, yes that is all that is left beore Christmas. I am actually going to try and lose some weight and won't beat myself up if I happen to maitain as long as I am the same weight in January as I am now or less I will be very happy. Take care, I know it is challenging and can get you down but this is a life long journey with really no end. I am taking it one day at a time knowing that I will be all the better for all the changes I am making.

Sorry this turned into a novel , cyber brownies and chocolate martini's(oops not yet noon- oh well) enjoy.

Terri

PS I am not changing my tickers because I don't believe it will help me right now.

You really do sound so positive. That's great to hear and I'm glad you have a goal for the next 40 days (wow, that's all that's left, yikes!) I will do whatever I can cyberwise to help you with your goal.

Ok, I'll go post in my journal now.

Thanks Karen, you are such a great friend, cyberwise or other. Really wish we could meet someday.

Well it looks like this will be a weekly thing, I make all sorts of promises and end up not getting here. Oh well, had WI last night and was very relieved to see that I had :rollsmile:MAINTAINED, yipee, yahoo, now I will try and do that agin this week as we have Thomas's 5th birthday party on Saturday so that is a challenge in itself. Pizza, Wings, Shrimp, salads, nachos and ice cream cake and cup cakes. Each year we let the boys pick their menu and this is what Thomas chose (well most of it). I am hanging in here and work is really stressfull but I keep telling myself it is almost over. Okay gotta run and get ready for work, have already had a great breakfast of oatmeal with blueberries and bananas and my coffee, lunch is packed and will have a great supper. See you all later, have a nice day and week if I don't get back here.


Terri

Terri,

I only have a second to post but I wanted to congratulate you on maintaining. You are doing awesome.

Thanks Karen, you do know how much this means to me.

Terri

Okay, well another week has flown by. I have WI tonight but am lucky that I don't have to pay. We had the party on Saturday and my sis showed up with kids with tummy bugs and they shared with us so we have been quite ill since then. Today is the first day I acutally felt like eating. Thankfully I wasn't like the boys but I felt like it. Not much else to report gotta run and get some work done here will try and get back here as much as I can/feel like it. I seem to have lost my spark these days.

Terri

GL w/weigh in tonight. Sorry about the sickies. Glad to see you posting again.

Thanks, I slipped into mellowville for awhile and I just couldn't get into what was happening around here. I will try and get back into it, just taking babysteps right now.

Okay so I am bouncing off the walls here. After staying the same last week and a little gain the week before I am down 8 pounds, yep you read it 8 whole pounds this week. I guess these lifestyle changes I am making are working, now I just gotta get my mom to believe me that I am really trying to make it work this time. Thanks for believing in me.



Sorry just got a little excited there. I am not going looking for those pounds next week either, they can stay gone for good.

Have a great night.

Good afternoon, I am a little leary of last nights WI but I am going to take it for what it is worth and work on not gaining any of it back next week. I am going to follow my program and see where it takes me. Will also try and get some activity in this week, may be kinda hard as I have to work Saturday so that means another day sitting on my butt for 8 hours. Oh well, gonna run, just waiting for my soup to warm up - it is my lunch. Have a great day to anyone who reads this.

Just so you know there are excersies that I do while at work. Do a search for office workouts and you will get all kinds of ideas to do. Just wanted to let you know.

Congrats on the 8 pounds.

Thanks Lisa, I am doing stuff at my desk and in the office already. I just hate being at work on a Saturday when I should be Christmas shopping and watching Matthew's hockey game.

OMG Terri! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to tell you I'm secretly jealous. I think you gave me your 8 pounds, too.

No, seriously, I am VERY VERY happy for you. You have worked so hard and continue to do so and you really honestly deserve every pound you loose hun.

Keep up the great losses.

Thanks Karen, I have really never lost this much in 1 week (well not counting when I was pg- let's not go there) not even at the beginning when I started WW so we will see. Thanks again.

Good morning, well WI was what I expected, luckily AF is knocking on my and after last weeks huge loss, I am up but by only 3 so the way I look at it I was down 2.5 last week and 2.5 this week. and I am going to either maintain or lose this week. I am not stressing about this gain because I know why. I am also changing my ticker to read steps instead of pounds, for 2 reasons, 1) I was having trouble with the website I use and 2) I kinda like a different look every know and then and it may just be the change I need.

Have a great day, I will try and check in later today.

Congrats Terri. You are still doing very well, IMO. AND I love the new ticker. Keep up the great work!

Ok, so I guess I should post in my journal at some point, huh?

Thanks Karen, and yes you should post in your journal. Maybe we should just commit to being here/posting at least once a week? That might be more attainable during the busy holiday season.

Well, I like you're new ticker! It's festive and sometimes pounds make it....well....a little upsetting. Steps if much easier to take. You're doing awesome bythe way!! Pretty soon, we'll be posting pics of our new bodies.

Keep it up!!

Thanks Erika, not to sure when I will get he courage to post a full body pic of me here on the site, oh well I can dream. Kinda scared to go to WI tonight, had my birthday celebrations this week but don't think I was that bad. Really wish all this stress would just disappear. Thanks for the kudos.

GL tonight Terri. You'll do great and if you've gained, hey it was for a worthy cause, right? Your birthday!

I think I'm gaining for the both of us, so you should be fine
