Daily Post (I don't remember to do these enough) September 11
I was only 4 when 9/11 happened, but it profoundly affected me. Though I didn't understand it as a child, when I was 11 I found a book about the attacks at the library and ever since I have been terrified of flying. Before then I loved riding planes, but even to this day I am rapt with anxiety when I fly anywhere.
Track: most of it
Calories: barely under thanks to exercise
Exercise: I only managed 30 minutes of elliptical because I was at school all day today.
Daily goal: Today's goal was mainly just to not eat junk food...I definitely met that one at least!1 -

It seems like I am forever struggling with the same 5 lbs. I go down during the week then up on the weekend. I lost a pound which is good but I went off course Fri and Sat and cant help but think how much more I would be down had I not fallen into my weekend trap...
It's a constant struggle! The main thing to focus on is staying the course. I have seen people in the other forums here that are dealing with the same thing. Then, after a bit, BOOM! They start losing. Just a matter of time - keep following your plan. WE are all here supporting you!!!

WILL NEVER FORGET SEPT 11, 2001
!7 years ago, I was the Charge RN in the ICU of my hospital which was located in Upper
Manhattan. Around 9am,it was announced over the PA system that Disaster Phase 4 was in progress, which means immediate preparations must be made for the admission of patients with the highest level of life- threatening injuries and trauma. All personnel are required to remain in their units further directions. Anyone who leaves can be subjected to permanent dismissal.As a result of this,an enormous amount of additional critical care personnel, ,emergency drugs, life- saving equipment, etc were readily made available. We waited and waited and waited, and as the time went by, and it was now 12 midnight no one was admitted. Few people survived and were admitted to area hospitals which were closer to the site of World Trader Center. All the staff members from the previous 12 hr shift were directed by their Supervisors to leave .
Even though, I did not know anyone who perished, this day brings back such vivid memories and I can definitely say , it has been one of the saddest days in my entire Nursing Career.
I can only imagine what you went through. All I can say is thank you. Thank you for being there, ready to support everyone. Thank you 100 times over. I am sure it is not a memory you will ever forget. Again, THANK YOU.

It's only Wednesday and already reminded just how tiering the normal school weeks are.
I like it at the same time. Midday naps are needed but not likely to happen.

Sorry that I have been inconsistent in posting. I am a high school coach and we are in the middle of a very busy fastpitch softball season (70+ games and scrimmages between Varsity and JV since August 1). Now that we are a few weeks into school, stuff is starting to calm down, so I hope to be more consistent in the future.3 -

Weight hasn't budged. But my clothes feel looser so I know something is happening. Trying to find the right balance of strength and cardio. Have to remind myself to keep at it and all the work will show eventually!

It very well could be that you are losing INCHES instead of pounds. Could be that you are increasing muscle mass. This is a good thing!!! Do you feel stronger? This is still a victory!!!DP: 09/12 Wednesday

No worries... this is all meant to be a fun challenge where we all lose weight and push/motivate. Sometimes life doesn't let one or more of those happen. Although I don't evny you and board meetings...I always called them BORED meetings, lol!!! Wait - unless you were directing it - uh.. then... um... yeah - it was GREAT!!1 -
