Morning Everyone!
Even though I've had 2 work weeks from the extremely hot place (like others... must be in the stars 'cause I'm hearing lots of complaints!!) I've stayed on plan through the stress and termoil... and it's paid off because I weighed in at 191 this morning!! Of course that number could be 192 tomorrow, but I'm not worried... 191 is here and before you know it I'll be 190, my next mini-goal, and well on my way to 189!!
I feel pretty damn great!
Oh... and 191 means that I've officially lost a total of 40 pounds since starting plan on January 1st!! To quote Becki "WoooHooo!!"
I think I'm going to have hubby take some current pics - then I'll post my start pics with my current pics and see if we (you wonderful STAC supporters and I) can see the difference
You know... it's all about the photo... when I look in the mirror I like what I'm seeing, but to see the comparison between now and then will definitely energize me even more! So... watch for that!
EV = Great advise on the pot-luck/buffet... I especially like the part where you said that Ozlover could come to roll call tomorrow bragging about her successes!! Perfect
Julie = So too bad about your hubby needing dental surgery. If there's one thing I can't stand it's anything to do with the dentist! It never used to be a problem - in fact I once had to have serious oral surgery (wired shut for a few weeks) - but I find that the older I get the less tollerant I am of the cleaning, drilling, poking... argh! I'm shuddering just writing about it!! Don't listen to me... I'm positive your husband will do well and he'll be so glad to have the pain go away permanently!! Sounds like you're donig well on plan, by the way... hope you'll get out for a few of your great hikes this weekend, rain or shine!
Kelly = I chuckled when I read your post!
I found myself imagining you at the previous appointment making sure there was a standing order in your file that you are NOT to be weighed in the afternoons. I'll bet you left an impression!
Bright = Going to visit your hubby is great motivation! Looking forward to hearing about your official weigh-in on Monday!
Becki = I'm so sorry to hear that you have to put your place on the market. If you need some direction for staging your place PM me. I can give you my e-mail and you can send me some pics to look over/comment on. In today's market it's all about those first impressions - and those first impressions often come via the on-line MLS listings. You gotta make your place look good! I'm so happy to hear that you're in ketosis and fully back on plan again... excellent for you!! Enjoy your workout with your personal trainer tomorrow!!
Proud = I love golf... I'm NOT very good, but I really enjoy it! I hope you have a great weekend at the tournament... and I KNOW you'll be able to avoid all the "poison"!!
KMR = MMM Chicken Salad! You've got me thinking about my lunch and it's still a few hours away!!
Lots of new "faces" ~ looking forward to hearing more about your journey and getting to know you!
Oh... and before I forget?
Here in Canada we're getting a long weekend with Monday off. How's that for a TGIF incentive!! And the funnest part? Monday's holiday is called "Victoria Day". Yep. We celebrate ME!!
I may check back later... if not, have a great on plan day!!
