| Wed. Nov. 14, 01 Great day today. Seem to be getting my footing again. I am even managing to bank 5 points for the day!!! I did really well at the funeral reception yesterday. Did exactly what I planned. Even came home w/points to spare. I am really proud of myself. Fri. Nov. 16, 01 Did great yesterday. I banked another point. So 6 points in the bank for me. I am feeling so renewed. I am so ready to get the rest of this weigh off! Sat, Nov. 24,01 Have been sick since last saturday. Still not feeling too well. I had to get Christopher a prescription for his cold. He still sounds bad, but to look at him you would never know he is sick. :) KIDS!! Well, because we were sick we had to postpone thankgiving dinner until today. I posted in the monthly challenge how I did if you would like to take a peek. Overall I am pleased w/myself. Some areas could have been improved, but others I surpassed my expectations. :) I have got to seriously get this butt moving! My membership to the gym expires next month so I won't be doing that any more. Got to find a way to get myself motivated at home. Just can't afford the gym right now. I hate to lose the muscle I have gained. My arms are looking really good. I have never had biceps before :) I think they look pretty darn good, if I do say so myself :) Just got to do it! Dec. 1, 01 Still have been struggling, but have been op for 2 days now. Got some great advice from Quatrina. and Happy loser group. Main thing is to quit depriving myself of the things I like. I thought I would try not having things I like in the house and that just made me obsess more and was eating more things to find something to sastify the craving. Feeling a little stronger. I have narrowed down why I am struggling. I am lonely. I miss going to the gym, but can't afford that. That gave me some me time. Plus Paul has been working a lot of hours again so I don't see him that much. I really want to go out on a date. We are leaving Wed. to visit my sister in VA. We will have a night out to ourselves as they booked us on a dinner cruise. Paul bought me 2 skirts I have been eyeing and some sexy boots. Can't wait to wear them. And they are a loose 12. I got them from Eddie Bauer so I assume their sizes run a little bigger. As the rest of my 12's are a little snug. Well, off to update my monthly challenge . |

| Jan. 2, 02 I know it has been quite sometime. My monitor blew so had to get a new one. Plus I will be honest I haven't done well on program. I don't know how much I have gained, but by my scale it is somewhere around 8-10 pounds. I haven't been to a meeting in a while. To top it off Christmas and New Years fell on my meeting date and we have no other meetings in my area. I ready to get back on track and lose the last 20 or so pounds. On a positive note I am down about 20 pounds since this time last yr. So I have accomplished something. I am ready to kick it in to gear. I WILL BE AT GOAL THIS YR! I am going to post some new picture of me when I met dh at 110 pounds. Though I will never be that skinny nor do I want to it is nice to see that I can be. :) HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Jan 22, 02 More computer problems. In fact I have to take it in sat to be worked on so have been leary of getting on here. I am doing well OP wise. I lost 2.4? last week and .6 this week. Even managed to stay OP when I went out on a date w/dh! I really enjoyed myself. Paul and I don't get out very often, but part of my new yrs. resolution is to have a date w/him at least once a month. I think very doable. Hopefully my computer will be fixed soon and I can post more often. I am feeling so good about myself again and reenergized. Spring is just around the corner!! Feb. 3, 02 I think I finally have my computer working. Ready to get refocused again. Just can't seem to stay on track. I have been writing more of my feelings in my personal journal. Trying to figure out what is going on. I think I found something new about myself. I sabotage myself from dinner on. Some reasons why I think I do this is 1. Paul is home in the evenings, but goes to sleep shortly. 2. Kids go to bed 3. I am ALONE!! I guess I don't know how to deal w/being alone or how to wind down w/out food. Maybe another reason is that I don't deal w/my feeling during the day and when I get down time I don't know what I am feeling and think it is hunger? It is so chaotic during the day that sitting and doing "nothing" makes me unnerved? But I know I look forward to down time and quiet time. There are no children calling my name all the time no running around. I notice that I watch more tv & the food commercials kill me. So what am I going to do different? I could do puzzles again, take a bath, go to bed earlier, no tv except on Mondays and Thursdays, and get out of the house some. And of course JOURNAL!! I am starting a new monthly challenge for the rest of this month. Feb 8, 02 Well, still struggling, but doing better. I did manage to stay w/in my points yesterday. I am still icky w/this cold. So my focus is to get better right now. Kirstin's 5th bday is tues. WAAHHH! My baby! I can't believe she is starting school this yr. I still have a few yrs. before Christopher starts. :) March 7. 02 I updated my weight loss. Not a pretty site, but I am ready to get in gear. I have already exercised 3 times this week, and I went to my meeting Tues since Jan 22. I am feeling renewed. I am ready to wear some cute clothes! March 12, 02 I maintained!!! I am so happy. Finally the scales are not going up. My sister has joined so I know have a buddy and we are going to ck in w/each other every day to make sure we stay w/in our points and her for not going under. I am so proud of her for wanting to eat healthy and not starve herself any more. She had me so worried. I am not feeling well tonight. My stomach is nasueas?? Christopher seems to be getting a cold, but I hope it is allergies. So no workout for me tomorrow :( |
