Well, another week is almost over and I think I did good this week. I didn’t exercise as much as I would have liked because it is my Time of the Month and I just was so tired and stuff this week. I did manage to get in two days of exercise and I tried to stay on my feet more at work this week. I ate good. I was even proud of myself, because we had a luncheon on Wednesday at work. I brought my own lunch and only had a small bowl of the low cal veggie soup  that they had. The ladies who provided the luncheon were not too happy with me. They wanted me to eat. I don’t think that some people understand what it is like to be heavy and be trying to loose weight. I tried to explain that I have been doing so good on my diet and that I haven’t really eaten anything I shouldn’t be and that I didn’t want to start doing that. I knew that once I started I wouldn’t stop.

I did however have a week moment this week,  well almost. I bought a package of snack peanuts at a store on my way home from work with the intent of eating them in the car, and well after reading the label in the car I decided to give the nuts to mu husband when I got home. I didn’t think it was worth eating even though I was craving salt!

At that moment in time I knew that I finally understood this whole lifestyle change. Before even when I was on a diet I would have eaten those peanuts. This time is different, I just don’t know why but it is.

I hope all of you are having a great week! To my Easter Challenge buddies, I hope that your weight is coming off! I’ll let you know how I did this week after I weigh in either tomorrow or Sunday.

Well I just got off the elliptical and managed to stay on for a total of 13 minutes. A far step from the original 5 minutes I started with. The distance was a half of a mile, and I couldn’t believe it! I just had to share!

I am back to work this week, and already wishing I was on vacation again. I liked having time to myself to do what I wanted to do. I love my profession, just wish it were a different school. The kids in my class are sometimes the only reason to get in the car and go in the morning. That and some of my coworkers!

Well DH wants dinner and I have to go cook it, so good luck everyone!! Keep your chins up!

Well to my surprise this morning the scale did give me a lower number! 3 pounds lower!! After feeling crappy because of my new meds I was sure I didn’t loose any weight, that and the fact that I weigh in a few times during the week(that is what happens when you are on vacation and home all the time not a good thing) and the scale kept going up and up. I am just so excited and proud of myself today! I am only 2 pounds away from my second mini goal, and I don’t remember when I was t hat weight last. My goal for this week is to get down to that mini goal!

To my friends in the Easter challenge, keep up the great work, some of you have given me your numbers already, some of you still need to give me your numbers for the week. Have a great week everyone!!!

Well it is almost the end of another week, I will be weighing in on Sunday and I just don’t feel like this has been a good week for me. I got in my exercise, even more than I normally get in because I was on vacation this week, and I ate right but I just don’t feel it. Part of the problem is that I am on a new medicine from my doctor for female problems. It makes me feel bloated and gives me this awful metallic taste in my mouth. And I haven’t been hungry since I started taking it on Tuesday. It makes me feel crappy all the time.

I just don’t feel like when I get on the scale that there is going to be a lower number. That will make two weeks without a loss, and that is disappointing me to no end. This is what always happens to me. I start out great and then I hit a wall and bam, I am discouraged and I just give up. I just feel like I will never reach my goals, and I will never be able to have a family, which is what I want more than anything else in this world. I don’t know what is happening to me, I am doing everything I should be doing and yet I just don’t think it is enough. I am suppose to be the leader of a challenge and what kind of leader will I be if I can’t loose the 10 pounds myself?

I just hope that everyone else is doing good….. Thanks for reading…I needed to get this off my mind..

Hello everyone! I hope that you are doing well. I just wanted to post and let you all know that I still have room for a few more people in the challenge to loose 10 pounds by Easter. And even if I went over the 10 people I wouldn’t care! The more the merrier to loose weight and support each other. If you are interested, please contact me with your starting weight.
Hope everyone is have a better week than I am. I only lost 1 pound this week and I am very disappointed. I can only hope for a bigger number next week. I am on vacation this week from work so I will be able to work out a bit more. I would like to try my Biggest loser DVD and see how I feel after that. We shall see how things go.

Hello fellow Buddy Slimmers,

I am starting a challenge that will end on Easter. The challenge is to loose 10 pounds before Easter which is in about 5 weeks.  I joined a challenge similar to this one for Valentine’s Day and it really helped to keep me motivated. I lost the 10 pounds I was suppose to. It helped to have the support of the others involved.

If you would like to participate, send me a message with your starting weight.  Then all you have to do is start loosing and keep me posted with your progress.

I hope to hear from some of your soon.

Well, I had planned on sleeping a little later this morning but the weather is horrible outside and the wind woke me up. It felt as if the wind was telling me to get up and get ready for my weigh in with Mr. Scale Well I am happy that I got up early today and weighed in. I am down another 3 pounds. It is so exciting! The scale has continued to go down every week whether it was 1 pound or 3 pounds.  I know 3 pounds isn’t much to some people, but if I keep going it will all add up. I joined a Valentine’s day challenge that was posted in a blog by my buddy Nicole a while back and that really helped me a lot. Kudos to you Nicole! I believe I have not met that challenge weight! And I am feeling great. I know I can do this and if  I can do it so can the rest of my buddies and the rest of the members on this site!!! Keep working hard!

Well, another week is almost over. It has been a bit better this week then the last couple weeks. Still been stressful at work, but I am trying to relax and forget about it over the weekend so I can enjoy my life so I won’t get in to that today.

In other matters, I wore my new jeans yesterday and when I put them on they were actually loose and the belt that came with them had to be moved over another notch. I was so excited. I also went out to dinner last night with my in-laws and well, I was worried it being Friday and all during Lent. I don’t care much for fish. I was also worried seeing that this would have been the first time I ate out without being at like Appleebee’s or Subway where I could count the points easily. I did good though, even though I had to add a little tarter sauce to my broiled fish sandwich to try and get it down with out being sick. It wasn’t that bad, it could have been worse.  I think I just need to eat more fish and get use to it. But I was proud of my self for eating so well and not having a problem with counting my points.

Another note to be proud of myself on is that I woke up this morning and did 10 minutes on the elliptical. TEN whole minutes, and I felt great afterwards.  I think the difference today was that I use my MP3 player and had music that made me want to move.  Earlier in the week when the weather was nicer here I went for a 20 minute walk and it was wonderful! I got to see more of our new neighborhood up close this way. I can’t wait til spring so I can be out there more.

S o I guess you could say this was a week of proud moments! I am doing great and so happy with myself. I can’t wait to weigh in tomorrow. I did an unofficial weigh in earlier in the week and I lost some then but that was not my official weigh in.

I hope that everyone’s week is going well.To my buddies: Keep working hard!!!! I’m rooting for you!
