Goldk-Thanks for keeping things going while I was slacking.

I have had a rough couple of days. Just feeling down, discouraged and lonely. DH works out of town Mon-Thurs, so I get to see him 3 days a week. This weekend was really busy and we saw each other only half of the time. I just get really tired of being by myself. I'm lonely and bored in the evenings when I get home. Plus, I am discouraged about this whole weight loss thing being so difficult for me. 5 lbs in 8 months is pretty ridiculous! I'm not giving up, just having a low point. But it's good to know that you are all here waiting on me when I get back on track. I am leaving Tues, Aug 18th for a family trip to Canada. I will be gone til Sat, Aug 29th. So I won't be here on this thread. We have a cabin that is very remote, no tv, cell phones, or internet. I know it sounds rough, but it is so beautiful and peaceful. I am making plans to stay on track with my food and hike a lot.

Not a problem... I am going to North Conway NH Thurs - Sun. I'm not sure if I am bringing my laptop or not so if you don't see me you know I'm on VACATION!!! Yippee. I will try to behave myself I am going with 2 children so I should stay active :laugh:

Nlongenecker - Today is a new day :flowerforyou: I was having one of those days a couple of weeks ago and you guys were all here to support me. Your trip sounds fabulous. I am sure you will come back refreshed and ready to fight this battle some more :happy:

Nlongenecker: Hang in there! My progress has been slow too, and I get discouraged - but I am making healthy changes and no matter what I'm better off than where I was!
Just a suggestion - but maybe joining a gym (I like the YMCA) or signing up for a dancing class or something active would help with keeping you busy so you are less lonely with hubby gone, and also help with your efforts here? I know part of why I like going to the Y is that it gives me an opportunity to socialize a bit as well as work out. :flowerforyou:

This is true. I thought I would never join (or enjoy) going back to the gym. I joined the Y back in May and I love going. I'm not extremely social when I am exercising but I do enjoy going :laugh: The shower and relaxing in the sauna at the end of the workout is nice too :bigsmile:
