Good morning Gryffs! I just read an interesting post on mfp "What is your reward for reaching your final goals?"
I hadn't really thought about what mine would be, but I am curious to know what all of yours are
Besides the slightly obvious 'new wardrobe,' I want to save up to have braces again. My dog ate my retainer (no joke!) after the last time and I couldn't afford to replace it then. I have my gap between my front teeth coming back, which doesn't bother me that much anymore, but my overbite is also coming back and it drives me CRAZY! I feel like my teeth are running away from me, lol.
What do you want to do for yourself when you reach goal?
Have you consulted your orthodontist? You may not need full braces. Sometimes relapses can be corrected with removable appliances. Just keep it away from your dog!! Yes, they love to chew them up and dentures and partials too. Something about the way they smell that attracts dogs. Possibly your overjet can be moved back into place with a Hawley retainer. As they move back into place your gap may close. If you do have to have full braces it probably won't take too long. I was about your age when I got mine off. Maybe ask your orthodontist about a fixed retainer that is bonded to the backs of your front teeth when your case is finished. It is commonly done on the lowers but can also be done on the tops too.0 -

You do sound down, did you really eat an extra fourteen thousand calories? I bet you didn't!This trip totally screwed me up. I went from reporting an awesome NSV of fitting into an old dress, to sabotaging myself.
Have a nice big drink of water, get a good night's sleep and check your weight tomorrow, it's probably just from eating sodium / putting back on the water weight you lost when you started dieting. I bet you'll have lost most of it in a few days.
I agree! All you can do is just keep going. Dwelling on the bummers doesn't help us move forward.
Thanks guys! What would I do without you all!?! Sorry for being a downer yesterday, like you guys said I'll overcome this little speed bump. Today is a new day.0 -

I'm like you, I haven't really thought about rewarding myself. A new wardrobe will be in order, maybe a day at the spa would be nice. I've never had a massage before, I think that would be a nice treat.0 -

Tough week. Dog at home needing care with unknown amount of time left and I have to sleep on the couch to keep an eye on her which does not lead to a good night's sleep. New semester with crazy classes with TONS of reading, which means sitting on my butt for hours and hours. I'm hesitant to get back into c25k right now because I don't want to aggravate my back again, especially since I've been sleeping on the couch. I have a couple of Leslie Sansone walk at home videos, I think I may try to fit those in and wait on c25k for a few weeks, or maybe until my dog has passed.0 -

Maybe making a bit of time for the walk at home video would save you feeling as if it's all slipping away from you? Take care.0 -
It's okay, that's what we're here for, we all have tough days.

Kind of like how I never realized how many times I go to the bathroom every day. I did lunges every time yesterday and my legs are feeling it, I think I'll change it up today and maybe do jumping jacks instead.0 -

No points at all of any kind to report. current weight still 171.5 so that's a good (if not miraculous) thing! So ready to be healed from this injury!! AHHHH!!0 -
Already liking this week's OWLs challenge. This is a great way to drown out all these campaign commercials! Can't wait til Saturday when this primary is over!! Hope the week is going well for the rest of you!0

I haven't checked in this week because I've not weighed myself and not been on for a couple of days so only just seen the challenges - oops! I will from now on fulfill the challenge though. It isn't going to be a pretty diary for me this weekend mind, it is my hen do so I reckon there'll be lots of wine on there!
The ad break exercising is a brilliant idea and something I'll definitely carry on with after this week!0 -
I hope everyone is having a good week working towards their goals and staying positive. Remember that if you have a wee stumble in the road the journey is as important as the destination, don't beat yourself up, just carry on through it. 0

Feeling so much more motivated and determined thanks to my awesome Gryffindors. Back to working out regularly and eating right and it makes me feel so much better.0

I have been terrible about checking in with your guys, and for that I am so very sorry. Congratulations to everyone on their losses this week! You make me proud to be a Gryffindor.0
