This thread is for anyone that has been away from healthy eating, had a gain and is recommitting. We accept all forms of healthy eating here, whatever that means to you. We touch base daily for accountability and to encourage one another. This is a judgment free zone.
We all struggle to get the weight off and keep it off. Sometimes this is a challenge, but we never give up and that is the key. Regardless of our situation or where we are in reaching our goal, we count on talking to each other every day and are blessed to have one another as friends.
Our motto is persistence, not perfection.

Good morning everyone.
I hope you're having a good Wednesday. It feel particularly chilly here this morning. Maybe it's just me, but this morning 43 degrees feels colder than yesterday. I've got a throw over my legs as well as the little portable heater on as well. Once the sun comes up it should feel better though, and we're supposed to see 69 today.
No real plans here. Just some laundry that I didn't do yesterday, haha! I think DD & GD (grand dog) are coming to visit soon - maybe around the 1st of April she's trying to nail down a date, so I'm looking forward to that.
Andi - How did the meeting go yesterday?

Good morning all. Lora, 25 degrees here this morning! Winter doesn't want to let go, just getting into the 40's again today. By the weekend supposed to warm up a bit, but what happened to the March going out like a lamb thing??? I know you'll be happy to see DD and family. My meeting was quick yesterday, thanks for asking, Lora. The people were nice and I got to talk to a few of them ahead of time so that helped me feel comfortable. I talked for a few minutes. They had no questions. I left. But I think it was fine - the CEO had prepared them and it turned into more of a need to see my face and make this whole process real than anything else. Glad it's behind me though.
My trainer texted at 4:45 to say she hurt her ankle and could we reschedule. Grrr. Since I was up anyway, I went to the gym and did a little cardio and stretching. She'll see my Friday and Saturday instead. Hope to have dinner out tonight with a DF but she's going through some work stresses and not sleeping well so she may cancel. I have a long meeting at work this afternoon with the directors and I saw the agenda and it's really full so I anticipate 3 hours today. Ugh, I don't do well sitting for 3 hours. Busy morning too, need to apply for a grant and meet with my assistant on top of everything else.
But all is well. I'm feeling good, a little anxious about WI on Monday, first of the month. I definitely have a neurotic relationship with the scale. I know I've lost weight but will it be "enough?" I lose so slowly...
Have a great day all.

Andi - yikes! 25 degrees?! We have a "cold front" coming back through this weekend that will take the highs down to the 50s and lows into the upper 30s. Not as extreme as you're seeing, to be sure. But still for the South, that's a little chilly for this time of year. So glad to hear that the meeting yesterday was easier than you'd feared. And I'm just going to say that you can put away the worries regarding your upcoming WI. You've been a rock star and any loss is "enough", is progress and is to be celebrated with a feeling of accomplishment. You're doing great and a strong example of persistence and resilience that we should all be proud to witness and model.

Good morning everyone.
I have had 2 really good eating days in a row. Fingers crossed for a good 3rd day. Yesterday once everyone left - the left over cookies and brownies went into the trash. I did not want to be left alone in the building with left over cookies and brownies. An hour or so after everyone left I discovered 2 dozen donuts in the conference room. I was like "really?" For some reasons donuts have become a weakness for me. The first time I did WW I remember a donut was 7 points. For a long time every time I saw a donut all I could think about was 7 WW points and I wouldn't touch them. (that was a regular glazed donut - I am not a huge fan of cream filling etc) But at some point that feeling of it isn't worth it passed for me and I started eating them again. Long story short - I did not eat any donuts and any that are left after today's meeting will magically disappear just like the cookies did!
Lunch is catered again today and tomorrow. I have my lunch packed. I made some chicken wings in the air fryer last night because the family had the left over lasagna from yesterday's catering. I had the chicken wings and made enough that I can have some for lunch today. I also need to run a few errands today at lunch. As soon as the guy drops the food off I am going to sneak out while everyone eats and get my errands done 
Andi so glad the meeting went well yesterday. I LOVE Lora's words to you regarding your WI. You are doing great! You should be very proud of yourself!
Lora will you do anything special when DD comes? Does she enjoy hiking?
Waving to everyone. I am sure I will pop back in later. Have a great day. |

Jana - Way to master the donuts and cookies and such! I don't think I've ever regretted NOT eating something that causes me pain and sadness. The momentary joy it brings for people like us is always fleeting, and leaves us feeling shame and/or frustration every time, and always risks dragging us deeper into the cycle. You're solidly rocking this week! WTG!! Yes, DD enjoys hiking and no we don't have any specific plans yet. I'm sure we'll get out and do something active and fun, I'm just not sure what yet. It'll definitely be great to have her here to hang out with. I really miss my grown up daughter...I say that because I well remember all the times I vented my frustrations with her when she still lived at home. She has changed and matured so much since those days. She's a pleasure to spend time with and it still surprises me sometimes how thoughtful and reasonable she has become. haha!

Hello Everyone...up and made it to my gym class. I was worried about not getting there for the past 4 days - guess I'll be sore tomorrow. Back home and off to drop file off for our taxes--DH used to do them all the time, but since the heart attack, then the sale of DM's house in another state, etc...we just feel more confident letting a pro do it. Then we headed for my dental appt...so far my teeth are still good and strong (seems like everything else that was always good is going (eyes, etc) so I will take all the compliments I can get - ha. I am looking into a night guard though...the dentist said he is researching a new type. So as soon as I got my teeth nice and clean, we went to Maggiano's - ha - stopped at Trader Joe's on my way there and was in and out faster than ever since we also had to pick up DGD at 2:00. She fell asleep in the car (yippee) so she is sleeping on the sofa now. I have to pick up DGS at 5:00, head to church dinner and then bunco at 6:00...just a normal day.
Lora - it is supposed to be above 70 here Friday and Sat I think - oh wonderful...but frost on the windshield this morning. Aren't children just wonderful when they are no longer living with you? LOL
Andi - you get a gold star for working out anyway (even though the trainer cancelled). Man, it seems like you are having a lot of meetings lately. Sending positive thoughts for your WI
Jana - yippee...you can do three in a row,,,then 4, then 5, etc. You are so good to have resisted those cookies and brownies. Usually they don't tempt me because they are always made with regular flour.

Hey all -
I went home after a meeting got out at 11 yesterday. Actually I had an appointment off campus so I went to that then came home. I woke up this morning with a pounding headache - it seems to be a bit of sinus issues. I'm taking tylenol sinus and airborne regularly and hydrating. Feel like I have to go to work tomorrow because we have a candidate interviewing for our director position.
I'm going to lay back down - just wanted to make sure to swing by today
