Beckster's "homestretch run" diary

Well....I tried, considering it was basically burgers and fries to my left, and greasy something else to my right!!! I did have fries a few times, but most of the time I tried to behave i.e. having my burger on lettuce, not bread.
 
Welcome back Beckster :)

It's nice to hear your son is doing well and most importantly you got the opportunity to visit.

If it comes to gaining a pound or four, well to me that seems like a fair trade-off for a cross-country visit with family. You can lose the pounds but you can't make up missed time.

Sorry the selections sucked, I woulda guessed opposite from California. :confused:
 
I'm in shock!! I just weighed myself, and I either stayed the same or lost a pound!!! ( my scale is a little screwy). I say that because I kept getting on and off the scale because I didn't believe it!! I was doing so much walking out there, I must have worked it off. I am sooo glad to be home, and eating "my food". Now to crank it up, and get the last pounds off!!
 
I've been trying to be better about working with weights,etc. I need to tone up. Been also trying to walk for longer than 45 mins when I go out..except there was frost on the car this morning, and even with layers, I was cold!!! Got to lose this last five pounds, got to do it!!
 
Wow Beckster, I've had that happen on vacations before too. Its amazing how much you can eat when you increase that activity level :). Its getting cold for walking here too :(. I'm not done with exercise though I just have to move it indoors more.
 
Two more pounds off. Now I've lost 47, with three to go. I knew my clothes were looser!! I've got about seven weeks until my next doctor's appointment. I want to have lost all of it by then. Sometimes this goes soooo slowly. I just want to be dancing in the end zone!!!
 
Thanks Cannon!! I appreciate all the encouragement!! I can't believe I am at this place in the weight loss. I never thought I would see the day!!
 
3 lbs from your goal- that's awesome!!! yippie for you... :D

i have this picture in my mind of you doign the Icky shuffle... :D it's a great image... My head is a scarey place..
 
Get this!!! Someone actually had the nerve to tell me I was getting "too skinny" yesterday. I almost fell over. I've never, ever been skinny in my entire life. I'm not letting anyone, or anything stop me. I will finish this thing!!!
I will, I will, I will. I tried to exercise more this week. Will see on Tues what my finicky scale says. The week of November 13th will be the one year anniversary mark for me starting this journey. Can't believe it, and what a year it has been. I've learned so much about myself in this process. Some of it isn't pretty. On the plus side, I've gotten clarity about what I really feel, and what I think I want to do with the rest of my life. Losing weight has made me deal with things I didn't want to deal with. Some of my friends are jealous of me because they themselves need to do this. My husband has felt threatened and gets jealous sometimes. I've learned how to deal with all of this, and not get sabotaged. Can you tell I'm in a kick a@* mood???
 
I've been see-sawing my exercise level to prevent a plateau. So far it's been working. I walk 45-60 mins twice a day when I can, and use my hand weights, though I need to do that more!!! Plus, I need to be better with crunches, my belly is flabby!!
 
Wow, you do a lot of cardio! What do you think....should people do more cardio than say sit-ups or is any kind of exercise good.
 
Wow Beckster! That's amazing. For me weight loss is only the third part of me getting my life in order, but its also the toughest hurdle to climb :) I can't wait until you break that ribbon.
 
Hi Kaitie and Cannon!! Thanks for stopping by!! Kaitie- I think people need to do what works for them. I do lots of cardio, but am lousy at the strength training, and my poor tone in my abdomen is the result. I probably should find a better balance, but I love to walk!! Cannon-I can't wait to break that ribbon either!!! I do go walking when I should clean my house:eek: . So, I can't say my priorities are always in the right place.
