Hey Linda

Quote From: linda01720

 when/after you workout?  stronger?  more stamina? You seem to be doing a fine job of being consistent. 

Bev, interesting observation regarding the chill factor.   What about increasing fat intake?  Tho you said olives weren't doing it for you, so maybe it wouldn't help.  I haven't noticed a seasonal difference (I'm in Massachusetts, not quite tundra country, but we do have winter).  Maybe I haven't looked properly.  Perhaps you need some extra calories for body heat.  Afterall, you have less insulation than I do.  LOL

My weekend went well.  I was able to eat 'my way' without making a big production of it.  I wasn't tempted by the brownies, cookies, sticky buns, pancakes, etc.  I did indulge in the chocolate fondue, though.  I think in moderation.  It's hard for me to tell when I don't know the calorie/nutrient counts for foods.   (don't eat chocolate often enough to know its stats!  HA!)  I didn't get stuffed (or any where close to it) and I woke up the next morning hungry.  I just don't know if I can 'trust' my body to know when enough is enough.  I was able to get down and up from the floor with relative ease to go to sleep.  And I was able to tie my shoes, which meant I went outside for short walks on Sat and Sun.  I didn't come home exhausted or hurting, tho I will really enjoy my comfy bed tonight.  Absence definitely makes the heart grow fonder!

Tomorrow I'll look for my ribbons!

I feel better after I go. I have noticed that my arms have made the biggest improvement. Not only do I have more strength but I think they aren't as flabby. I need to measure them for sure but I feel they are toner.  Makes me realize that I need to beef up my weight program. 

  

I do find it easier to get up and down. My biggest problem is my knee and I don't realize how much exercise it is getting until it moans a little but I pamper it somewhat so it hasn't been a problem. 

  

Congrats on having a good weekend and getting out for walks. That is a big one!  Cindy

I could kick myself

for not thinking about it also!  Before long I need to go back so I will work it out with you ahead of time.  Actually didn't get to stay as long my son called and was having problems.  One of the things that I am going to force myself to do is to join a support group we have locally for families of people with  severe mental illness.   So that is my goal for this week. They meet on Thursday.  I had to laugh yesterday because Dr. Phil was talking about control issues.  It is such an illusion that "I" can control the universe! I can't control me! But am working on becoming and controlling the "ME" I want to become.   

  

Megan, so sorry about your coworker. I agree with you about not giving up and would add that we also need to give ourselves some slack for our shortfalls.  I can beat myself up all day long about I'm not where I should be.......have not worked hard enough.........have not lossed enough weight....but when I see you do it then I think we are just too hard ourselves.  We might need a kick in a butt but a little forgiveness and a check on what our goals really are.  We can do this!  We have seen it done.  So one day at a time we keep plugging along and working toward a healthy lifestyle. 

  

I find myself sitting in a chair at night mindlessly watching Tv and then the commercials drawing me to food.  I am the "queen of craft"! Every craft one could think of I have. I have decided to move to the craft room after seven. There is a TV in there too!  As a matter of fact every room has a TV(probably need to change that too!)   If I am in there I always find something to do. So with my new material and one of my good friends is having a baby I'm starting on a baby quilt..........I will no longer sit idle waiting for time to go to bed or the next bite of food.  Does anyone else have this problem?   

  

HOpe everyone has a great day.  Megan again sorry for your coworker and my prayers are with her family.  Cindy

Good job!

Quote From: glburt

      Greetings everyone, been awhile since I have posted, although I do try to read posts once a week, its my reflective time for myself. I'm doing well, 44 lbs down, ups and downs, last week gained 1/2 a pound and freaked lol, but this week i'm back in the losing mode. Everyone have a super week and stay warm!! 

Congratulations on doing well!  So I take it that you are eating well and exercising.  Important also to hear that you are reflective time.  Keep us posted on how you are doing and what steps you are doing to do so well.  Cindy
