FINALLY!!!!! I got on the scale and to my huge amazement....I lost 3 lbs!!!!!! Of course, it might be the few pounds that I had gained...but stilll, I am going in the right direction!!! What did I do different??? Not sure. Went to Curves 2x...averaged 6000+ steps per day. Stopped the diet sodas (which I just read can cause kidney problems) and drank more water. ***ding!!!! That is a light bulb moment! Well girls, whatever it is...I 'm feeling really good! Hope you had a good week too!

I have been struggling with all the issues of taking control of my life this week....the monkeys are dancing around me faster than I can control. Been good about getting to Curves, but seem to be very bad with the water drinking. I sure hope to be better this next week.

Had this all typed and the hit something by mistake and erased it all. Maybe it was a subconscious act. You see, I GAINED 8/10 of a pound this week. My internet was out for an entire week. Just got it back today. Apparently, keeping up with my WW points on the computer on a daily basis was doing more good than I realized. I also didn't exercise this week (again). I have just got to make myself do that somehow.

I have lost another pound. Really was thinking that it would be more, but I think hormones are wonky here at the end of the week.

Have a physical, including submaximal stress test on Tuesday, so I will have confirmation of how out of shape I am. On the plus side, I will at least have accurate information to work with for setting new goals.

I am really motivated when I start the week and then it just seems that Life gets in the way during the remainder!!!! I didn't have a great week. Couldn't make it to Curves and didn't get my walks in (by choice...sad to say). My steps were way off too. I need to go back and restate my goals for this week...starting with water. This is a real struggle for me

You and me both, Carol! Out of sight.....out of mind!! It really helps when that stuff is not even in the house!

I'm managing to stay about 4 pounds under what my goal weight was, but some days I still have the urge to eat things that I KNOW will set me back on the wrong path! (Things like gooey desserts and nice salty chips!) I just have to stay out of those aisles at the grocery store.

Only down a pound this week and unfortunately couldn't get back to the fitness center after Monday. Not going makes me feel like a slug now. I picked up an extra day at work to help out and Wednesday was full of appointments. I did make a point to walk on the treadmill on those days but it doesn't feel the same. Next week should be better.

I can't believe it's Friday again already!

I lost 1.6 pounds this week, however I credit part of it to a stomach bug, and definitely would not recommend it as a weight loss option!

The bean and kale soup was a good comfort food when I didn't feel good otherwise!

Hope everyone has had a good week...........

GO Gloria!

I saw the personal trainer today for my fitness evaluation. I amazed myself. I scored better than 74% of women my age. I need work on body mass (duh) and flexibility. After the eval I swam 20 laps. I am just loving the swimming.

I am traveling again and so my exercising is minimal...unless you take mouth muscles into consideration...they have been getting a good workout. No gain for the past 2 weeks and no loss, but I can tell that my getting to Curves again has made a difference in how the jeans fit...yippee!. Back home in 2 days and better healthier eating should help move that needle off the mark it has been glued to lately. 8 lbs altogether is a possitive and I aim for more!

Well, I have lost another pound! YEA! I really feel like I am getting stronger. I just wish that my figure and the scale would reflect the same thing.
Saw my allergist this week and she recommended a couple of ideas to help with my breathing, congestion, and migraines and it is working! It is SOOOOOOOOO great to wake up and not feel like someone parked a small truck on your face overnight!
