something new

THANK YOU SO MUCH!


Thank you for all your encouraging and supportive feedback. You've got my heart.



Feeling much better after a weekend of just checking out. I slept most of Saturday and Sunday.....no problem. I did go for a 3 miler on Saturday and I kicked ass on the treadclimber yesterday and today. My food wasn't stellar, I just focused on good for me foods. This morning the physical side effect were all but gone. I feel like I am coming out the other side of this hell. I really believe that sticking with the exercise (uping it really ) is what made the difference. Well that and the sleep. I had not slept well for about a week. I wake up at least 2 times a night normally, so I was getting very little good sleep. I am still alittle weepy, but feeling positive also, where Saturday it just all seemed so shitty.


I am getting a new "weigh in" weight. I am no longer going to WW meeting. I am going back to a night weigh in on Monday. Starting tonight I will weigh in with a group of friends and then we are going to decide what we want our meeting to be like. I am quite excited about saving $50 something a month. I am not really counting points, so I am really just going for the face to face accountability I feel I need right now. I like the meetings too.

So I am weighing in on a new scale......cut to this evening..... the new scale was kind and told me 216 even. so that's a loss of like .8 lbs. I forgot to look at what I weighed last week. I think that's a positive sign...lol.



The new meeting was fun. We are going to learn to do water aerobics via youtube in the hosts backyard pool....so nice! I think it will be great. The one hubs that is there is totally into the "mind game" aspect of looosing weight. He reminds me of my dad....thinks he knows it all (my sister's laughing at this) We will share emails and fun stuff too. Encouragment, where to find the cheapest groceries. They offered their pool 3 nights a week for the aerobics.

I am super tired but I wanted to share 2 things with you



#1- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Love this book. I haven't liked a story this much in a long time. Has anyone else read it?



#2- The new Rob Thomas CD....love this CD!! Is anyone else crazy about this CD or am I just an old fart that doesn't know music anymore??



I have had a long, tiring, day. I am going to bed and watch some mindless TV......gee, how about the news....lol ....Keep the mood and the food real.....or as Roxie says "get your head right and your ass will follow."

    I did lots of water workouts with my clients when I was a trainer--its amazing how you (one :)) dont sweat and yet it is a GREAT cardio and 'resistance' workout.

    ok.

  9. I think that's great that you're getting together with friends. I think part of what makes WW work is the accountability of going to a meeting each week. If you're like me, you kind of already know what you need to do to lose weight. Having your friends there to cheer you on will help you reach your goals!

    Doing exercise with your friends sounds like so much fun - not to mention having company along the way to motivate and encourage.
