Drat that lying scale! It says I am up 3 pounds this morning. But it may not be lying because I did some overindulging this past week. On to this week and renewed effort!0
-
1. Minimize restaurant trips and food waste.
2. In bed by 10:30 pm 5 days a week.
3. Drop 3-5 lb this month.
5. Re-double my new employment finding efforts. Send out at least one resume by Saturday and two over the weekend.
Only one restaurant visit this weekend, so I'm doing good there.
I've had some really early nights because I had some really early mornings, but I can't fall asleep before 11... need to work harder on that
And now... drum roll... I dropped to 155lb at this morning's weigh-in. That is 4lb since I started this month's challenge, and over my original 3lb goal. New goal would be to drop 2-4 more lb in the next four weeks. If I could get to low 150's, I'll be thrilled. Also, 155 puts me at less than 10lb of my weight loss goal of 148 lb.
I sent out one resume this weekend (because that were all the jobs that were available) and re-wrote my resume and sent it out to a staffing agency. Holding my fingers crossed.0 -

Congrats! I LOVE hearing about other people meeting their challenges and closing in on their goals.

Congrats to all of you who have had such nice losses!
@Baconslave- Most drug companies have programs set up to help defer the cost of high cost medicines- especially for those who would have to pay out of pocket. Talk to the doctor and see if there is some way they could help you.
Hang in there, my friend.0 -

This sounds absolutely awful. I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Insomnia doesn't exactly make something like this any easier to deal with.
I'm sure you've already tried it, but I just read today (on an author blog I follow, totally unrelated) that hot compresses can help. I also like the idea of the chamomile, seems like they could be combined.
Hope you get some relief soon (hugs)0 -

Restasis does have a program. Thanks for reminding me to sign up today.

I've got some chamomile in the cabinet, though I'll have to pick up more. At this point, I'll put mud in my eyes if it will fix it.
I'll do this tonight and let you all know how it goes.
TOM is lurking. BAD TIMING for my poor family...I'm trying but I'm spontaneously NOT pleasant.

1. Under 30 net carbs daily/50 net special occasions (Daughter turns 21 on Valentine's Day) ✔
Didn't use extra carbs for Valentine's actually. I avoided all nibbling on the fondant while decorating my daughter's cake! lol
2. Exercise of some sort 3-4 days each week with one of those being outdoors if possible. FAIL. The cold and snow have me in hibernation mode! I need to snap out of it!
3. Pay more attention to budget and meal planning. Last month there were too many meals out. ✔
4. Do something relaxing each day like reading or coloring. ✔
5. Clean and organize the house better. Implement a daily chore list. FAIL
Lost 1.2 pounds at the start of the week. Now I'm in a TOM standstill.

Goals for the coming week:
*Keep running 2-3 times a week with 2 weight training days - so far I've been keeping this goal all month, and regardless of the scale, I feel this exercise is valuable for me
*Work on planning out my meals, especially breakfast for the rest of this week (I've been doing a lot of "grab n go" sort of choices, which are not wise
*Drink more water - 80-100 oz daily!
*Start doing a weekly ab/core routine once a week - want to make this a consistent thing.0 -
