what do you do over and over

Well I had a pretty good day yeterday. Weigh in was good....lost 2.5 lbs. Now if I can just keep it off this time. I keep gaining and loosing the same 3 lbs for about 3 weeks now. I am a half pound higher then my lowest weight. I know what to do, I just need to follow thru. I really need to up my H2O, not drinking near enough.

I am going to walk at work this morning on the treadclimber. My walking buddy is too busy to walk this morning, besides, it's kind of cold this morning. I don't like to walk by myself before dawn. Kind of scary. I have downloaded Two Fit Chicks podcast and plan to listen while I walk this morning. Kind of excited about it. If you don't know about this podcast visit Mizfit or Dietgirl. It was Shauna's book that lit a fire under my butt and got me into this bloggin thing. Thanks again Shauna!!

Things are still quiet on the homefront. Nothing earth shattering. Just lots of doing the same thing over and over. Nothing wrong with that. Building good habits. I am a creature of habit.

Keep the mood and the food real......what is something you do over and over?

    Gah! I've been bouncing around the same couple of pounds for a month now. I just need to keep returning to what I know works for me

    That is an excellent podcast. Two very entertaining personalities.

    Yeah, the back and forth tango can be demoralizing. Here's hoping you can power through and start stringing great weeks together.

    It was Shauna's blog that got me blogging - then I got her book which I loved!

    Glad the scales are going down again, maybe you just needed a bit of a break. Time for the homeward stretch now, though!

    Shauna's blog is one of the first weight loss blogs I ever visited. I bought her book too.
    She still blogs after all this time is what I find so amazing too.
    and MizFit ... she's a true gem.
    What I do over and over is piss people off. I'm really good at that. :D

    I hope you have a great walk on the treadclimber this morning, Dana and hang in there.
    Is there something you can tweak to kickstart your fat loss? Anything? Do you need to eat "more" often but smaller meals maybe? I have to change things up all the time to keep the pounds coming off.

    Two and a half! That's a terrific loss in one week. I am happy with an average of one pound in a week. It's tough to get in the exercise that would speed things up when you work full time and have several commitments each week at night. Three or four sessions is a goal. You're doing great!

    They say the third time is a charm, so hopefully you'll break the three-week cycle!

    Congrats!

    You may be bouncing around with the same few pounds, but you are inching lower as you said you were 1/2 pound lower than your lowest weight!

    Habits are good! :-)

    I've been bouncing around the same few pounds forever. You'd think i was on maintenance! Not :)
    Need to give myself a kick.
    I think you're doing great. And thinking of ways to make walking more fun is a great idea.

    Hang in there Dana I know how you feel with the bouncing around. But you are still moving downward at a steady pace and that's what matters. I'm sure you'll have another good week next week. Way to go on the 2.5 lbs.

    I loved Shauna's book, I really got a lot out of knowing it took her 6 yrs to lose her weight but it was just about never giving up. It gives me hope to know I can get where ever I want to be. You can too. *hugs*

    I haven't listened to their podcast but will soon.

    Good news on the loss. I do what you do...lose/gain the same weight over and over just before breaking into new territory. Grrr - so frustrating.

    Well Done on 2.5lb loss:)

    you gave me a "lightbulb moment" mentioning water intake. I have just realised i am not drinking ANY!! I have four cups of tea a day asnd that is just not enough fluid.

    Thank You Dana you may have given me the push I need:)

    I've never listened to weight loss podcasts. I've never even really thought about it. I'll have to check those out.

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
