Motivation, Success and Frustration Sharing!

And it cut off the last half of my post!! Gahhh

@Rachel0778 Great job with the 25000 steps wow that is impressive.

@chasidee90 Sorry you were feeling crappy after your cheat day. It is now over with so just put it behind you and move on. you have been doing a great job.

@jkhoffe Almost time for Vegas. Have a great time.

@health_guard Hope you really enjoyed your relaxing weekend. I am really hoping to have one of those this weekend.

@FitEqualsSmile Thanks! I have to start getting graduation stuff also. I'm excited but also sad that my baby is all grown up.

@bluepoppies777 I wish I could leave phone in kitchen, however it is my alarm to get up for work. He has been better the last 2 nights. I told him if the sun isn't up don't call me. I don't know if he is listening or if he is finally starting to sleep more then just a cat nap. Either way i'll take it. I hate when it cuts off half of your post. UGH!

Didn't make it to the gym yesterday. Have grocery store today and then I will get there. Do any of you miss it if you don't get there? I never in a million years would have thought I would feel that way but I do. I like that I am feeling stronger. Saw a little definition in my arms the other day. yeah! Tonight is senior night for softball. If it doesn't rain. Good thing I am going to store I am out of puffs. And being the crybaby that I am I will need them today.

Everyone have a good day.

@chasidee90 I wouldn't worry too much about the 2lbs, it's likely mostly water weight from the increased sodium. Check yourself again in a few days and you'll see the difference/

@FitEqualsSmile Great way to break in the new scale with a loss! Sounds like you had quite the active day yesterday!

@bluepoppies777 Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Hopefully the walk helped to calm the headache

@ngolden3320 I totally miss it when I'm not there too! I was staring at my June calendar and realized how many classes I have to miss due to social events and I started to feel really sad, weird huh?

@jkhoffe Sorry to hear about the cold. Looks like everyone is getting sick lately!

I finally felt body confident enough to hop on the scale and I dropped a pound! Yes, it's only 1 pound in the last month, but I still call it a huge success! Slow and steady is going to win the race this time, I will be one of those 5% who keeps it off over 5 years.

I've been trying to find a group our create a group to share and compare with. I'm happy to join this one and do both.

Anybody know how to s schedule a rest day thru this tool?

Hey all! Happy Wednesday. Hope you all are killing your work outs and eating healthy. I'm still up and down with everything, finding it hard to keep my mojo going. Ever since the funeral, it's been hard to get back at it 100%, it's like everything went off the rails. I'm still maintaining my weight, but my mental part is seriously lacking still. There have been a few days where I have felt really good, strong and motivated, but then something else happens and I get a bit derailed again (like my hub's birthday, or my head cold). I'm hoping that I can find my WHY and get back to being serious about my fitness and eating. I'm going to the gym after work, haven't been for a while, but my head cold is over 90% gone, so I'm going!

@bluepoppies777 There may be a few bumps in the road but you can make it one step at a time. You are doing a great job . Just keep going forwards and you WILL get there.

Good Morning Everyone. All this talk about not feeling well I think has finally caught up with me. I woke up this morning and my stomach is just rolling. Really feeling like I might get sick. Don't tell Jenna but I had a Coke. I haven't had one since the 1st of February. I thought it might settle my stomach, but no go.

@GillianSmith2 I love your meme for Joy. It reminds me of when Buddy was a puppy. Now he is just an old fart.

Went to the gym yesterday got my arc trainer in. I passed the time by watch some young (20 something) boy working on his arms. After each set of exercises he would check out his progress in the mirror. It helped pass the time.

@goonietime Great job on the loser pants. That is such a good feeling. It just comes to you out of the blue. (like what is up with these pants I have to hike them up every time I walk. Hey I have to hike them up every time I walk something must be working.) LOL I am having the loser pants moment now. They are really drooping.

@jkhoffe I hope you are feeling better this morning when you wake up in Vegas. Have a great time and enjoy yourself.

Good morning everyone. Sorry I haven't checked in for a while. Im still here. The motivation has been lacking a bit lately. I have had good days and bad days. My weight has been pretty stable, so I haven't gone too far off track. But I really need to get back at it! Good news-we sold the house! It was on the market a little over a week and we got a great offer! We also put an offer in on another house and it was accepted that same day. Now-we have the option in front of us to get a second house at the same time. Not sure if our banker will go for it-but one of the houses already has renters in there so it would basically pay for itself and then some. It will be interesting to see what happens! We don't close on any of them until early July, so we are going to enjoy the next month going to the beach. After that its going to get busy again! Hope everyone has a great day!

@FitEqualsSmile I hope your bicep heals quickly. Try and take it easy.

@health_guard Good luck in school. What are you taking?

@danan01 Congrats on selling your house and finding a new one. How exciting.

I took the day off yesterday. My stomach hurt all day yesterday, and every time I moved I felt like was going to be sick. It was senior night last night for softball. Quite emotional. Twelve days until she graduates. This is really getting tough for me.

Happy Friday Everyone! I have super exciting plans tonight, I'm taking my dog on a date. We're going to Petco, making popcorn, and watching movies all night long! I hope you all have a great Friday!

@danan01 Congrats on selling the house and finding a new one so quickly!

@health_guard Trading one type of work for another? Bummer!

@ngolden3320 Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well! I hope you're feeling better today. I can't even imagine having a kid graduate from high school. Does she have her college all picked out or is she entering the working world?

HI I would love to join you all too. I have done this before, about 4 years ago and had the same experience. I did well because I came on everyday and supported and motivated my friends and believe that this is the best way to lose weight again. So please let me join and make some new, like-minded friend.
