Topic : What's Working In My WLC

I am so glad the weekend is finally here.  It's been so hectic at the office, sometimes a vacation just isn't worth it.  Nobody did my job the whole time I was gone so I've been working my a** off.

 

Trish, so glad you found your way here.  Lets get back on track and get back to the program.

 

Christie, I am so happy that you have found a site that helps you to ask the questions and get the answers that are so necessary.

 

Val, I'm still so excited for you and will continue to keep you in my prayers.

 

Bren, how are you this evening?  Hoping to go swimming this Monday night.

 

Niki where are you? 

 

Lisa, I can fully understand where you are coming from with the clothes shopping.  It is so darn frustrating when nothing fits and when you find something the mirrors really hurt.  Since losing some of this weight I've been going to the used clothing stores (Frenchy's in Nova Scotia) and they have a bin of clothes for "full size" and I've found a lot of clothes there.  I have even bought stuff that was too small but after I got home and tried them on they fit. 

 

Also the argument you had with that guy about 10% fat was interesting.  I always thought it was recommended no more than 30% fat.  But is he counting the fat properly??  I wouldn't waste my time trying to correct him, obviously he is right and everyone else is wrong and you'll never convince him otherwise. 

 

Hugs to all my friends.

I'm so happy there is no surgery.  You are a stong woman.  We'll continue the prayers and remember when you're getting your treatments that we're all there with you in spirit cheering you on.

 

Re:nausea and tired, isn't there something they can give you to help with that, to a degree anyway.  I can't remember the name of it, but I remember seeing the commercial.  Maybe watching a lot of TV does pay off sometimes huh?  LOL!!

 

Hugs to you friend.

P.S.  The manicure and pedicure were awesome!  Wish I could afford it everyweek.  The kids were upset I didn't take them with me, but I sure enjoyed being pampered.  wink-wink!

 

I'm sorry that person was such a jerk to you.  That just shows his little mind can't fathom being civil to people who know what they are talking about.  Don't worry about him.  He's not worth the time.  :)

 

About the clothes, I'm in the same boat with you.  I won't go clothes shopping because of the fear I have, but remember we're working on this new lifestyle to be healthy and it may take awhile for us to get there, but together we're all going to do it!!! 

 

You rave whenever you need to.

 

I hope your Saturday is better!

 

Big hugs,

Wendy

 

It's a gorgeous day here in Nova Scotia.  I'm doing my laundry and getting it out on the line.  Then off to do my grocery shopping.  I have a ton of housework to do when I get home, but I just might sit in the sun and tan :)

 

I checked with my scale this morning and I am 10 lbs heavier than I was before I went on my trip to the Dominican Republic so I need to get real about this.  I gained a pound or two on this vacation but I still need to start to lose the weight or else it will be another 10 lbs before I know it.

 

I have read Key #1 since returning home and this week will be working on reviewing Key #2.  Inner Dialogue is the Key to how you approach your life and if you have a negative talk with yourself you will be sabotaging yourself every day. 

 

Turn your dialogue from I can't to I can and I will.

 

Have a wonderful day.

Thanks for all the good wishes. I have been able to sleep alot better knowing that there are folks out there keeping me in their thoughts and good wishes.    Since Nikki hasn't been on the boards I decided to talk to her via the phone.  She has been very busy but wanted me to let you all know that she should be back on the boards come Monday or Tuesday.  Matthew took sick at the day care the other day and come to find out he has strep -throat, but can't give you any more info than that, because we only talked a few short moments.  Take care everyone and have a nice long weekend.

  It is so nice to see you back on the board, hope you had a great time on your vacation.

I too have put some weight on since the wedding last week i put myself on the rapid start did well for 4 days then blew it at a Hospice BBQ.

 

I have started as a volunteer at Hospice every Friday I help in the kitchen, deliver the meals to the patients and feed the one's that can't feed themselves it is so rewarding, at lunch time we have a BBQ for the patients and there family and friends we even give them a little wine they love it.

 

This morning I went to pick up 3 pairs of slacks that my girlfriend was altering for me since before the wedding I tried them on to small, I really need to get serious about mt eating habbits before I go back to what I  use to be NEVER do I want to go back  to that weight, Bread is my down fall LOL..

 

 I am so happy to see you back i thought we were not going to hear from you again i DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE ON VACATION.

 

HUGS,

CONNIE

Barbara, How are you?  I am good, thanks for asking.  That is great that you are going swimming Monday evening!  I think you saw that I went swimming twice last week, I am getting back into my favorite exercise and loving it!:)  Take care! :) Bren

Connie,

Hello, it is wonderful that you are volunteering as a Hospice worker! :)  Good for you! :) Take care! :) Bren

I am stopping by to check for messages, glad to see so many had dropped by.

 

Val, I am so glad that you are able to sleep, positive/optimistic attitude, keep it up.

 

Bren it looks like the swimming will be on hold until next week, period arrived this morning a week early :(  Yes I know you love to swim and I'm glad you are doing it again.

 

Connie, I applaud anyone who is a volunteer.  Dedicated, hard workers we certainly need them.  Yes, we can lose this weight if we start to get real with ourselves again.  I too have problems with my breads and I can eat fruits and veggies because I love them but when I think I'm hungry it's always the starches I grab.
