Okay, I have a confession to make. I did not give my correct weight last week, so I am correcting it now. I guess I was just embarrassed by the gain and very frustrated. At least I lost 2 pounds last week. I just want these last few pounds to go away. GRRR!!! My weekends suck, because I eat everything in sight. The weeks are easy to keep to my goal, but since there is no structure over the weekend I just can't keep myself in check. I started out the weekend good and then it went downhill Saturday nite. I say I want something and my fiance' just gets it for me. I told him this morning that he needs to tell me NO. He said, you know I can't do that and I told him he better from now on. Now if it is in moderation it is okay, but not an entire bag of Reese's Pieces. :blushing: :blushing: I am embarrassed to have said that. I need to find control. My goal for this week is to get through the weekend without hording all sorts of bad foods. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.
Have a wonderful week everyone. :bigsmile:

Awwww... don't be embarassed. We all care about you no matter what and you have done so amazingly well so far. I am sure we all understand and can relate.

As for suggestions the one thing that has helped me a lot throughout this is absolutely no junk food in the house and if my DH or kids want some they have to go out to eat and not bring anything back.

I hope you get lots more suggestions and they help.

Take care and you are an inspiration to so many with your positive attitude and motivation of others. You are an amazing gal and don't forget it!

Thanx T, I appreciate it. I am going to be bound and determined to make it through this next weekend. I know that if I can do it for one weekend I can certainly do it for two weeks and so on. Thanx for the encouragement and for your understanding.
Have a most fantastic week. :bigsmile:

I totally agree! We all have moments where we feel like we have failed, but the key is not Believing it! Shake it off, and back to work.

Hello Everyone!

I know I have been MIA for a while.. I feel like everything has been so hectic in my life! Work's been crazy busy, then when I get off work I'm constantly busy.. I'm not exercising and not eating right. That is until the past Sunday when I told myself I had to regain control. I feel like ever since it started staying dark so late in the mornings, and I wasn't able to run then, I let it all go out the window.

Well, I"M BACK!!!! :laugh: And with a vengence. I have made myself gain weight, and missed all this time, and so close to Christmas. DH and I went out and bought a WII and WII Fit on the weekend, so I have been very busy exercising with it every chance that I get. My body feels like it has been run over by a truck, but it is a good thing.. no pain, no gain :bigsmile:

Sounds like everyone is doing great and keeping on track. The big thing is continuing the journey, and not side tracking down an easier path. It's so much harder to get back into it when you've been away a while

Take care!

Glad that you are back with us. I do understand that life can derail you at times. It is good that you are able to notice that and push through. That is a hard thing to realize, but since you have started a new lifestyle it is easier to recognize. Good for you. Keep up the awesome work. :bigsmile:

Well Welcome Back!!! :flowerforyou: I hope that transitioning back into routine goes great for you. It's crunch time!

I hope to have as much luck as you!
