Hey, hey, hey! Do I need to separate the two of you??
Hey Angela, Just stopping in to say hi and see what I can see...you have such a great attitude about all of this in such a short amount of time
Great work, keep it up!
Thanks so much! It's hard but I do try to keep things in perspective and remain upbeat about it all. It's the best I can do. And, to be quite honest, my new friends are helping me along the way. I've had more fun in Fish and Bro's Challenge forum than I have in any other forum on any other site. You people are crazy . . . it's good to fit in, lol. Laughter is a sure way to stay upbeat. The better I feel the more I am able to stick to my guns.
Monday, 9:53 a.m.
I really should have posted this weekend. I'll do better about it next weekend. I really have to keep in mind all the successes that my challenge buddies are experiencing. I need to step it up a notch - otherwise I'll never keep up. My aim is not to win the challenge, but I do want to at least keep up with the big dogs. I'm done staying on the porch. (And don't let that "big dogs" reference go to your head, guys!
) I was not as "good" as I should have been this weekend. It was rainy and nasty and I used that as a (bad) excuse not to visit the gym as I should have. Can't reach my own ass to kick it, so I'll let someone else do that for me. It's only a matter of time, anyway. I think several people here owe me a couple of kicks, lol. Anyway, today is a new day - what I did over the weekend is done, gone, and undoable. Moving forward. Lesson learned.
Mother's Day was good and depressing all at the same time. My girls made cute little gifts for me and gave me pretty flowers, all of which I will treasure forever. Instead of going out to eat - which is usually a bad idea for me - we opted to stay home and have dinner. I made my yummy veggie soup (and I splurged a little on cornbread.) Mike and I went shopping yesterday and stumbled upon a store-closing sale. I bought myself a few things for the office. It makes me feel good. I won't be able to wear them for very long due to my pending weight loss, but that's okay. I'll feel and look good for the time I can wear it. The sale was so awesome that I really don't care if I only get to wear the clothes for a couple of months. It's important to do little things every now and then that make you feel good - a new blouse, new shoes, haircut, pedicure (one of the few girly rituals in which I indulge. That shiatsu chair is heavenly!) When I feel good, I am less likely to turn to food. Today, I feel good.
