I second what Joan says. You have been very determined...good gracious you have even done your walking in the house! Shake that stinkin thinkin away. Could you go to bed any earlier? Get those ivories brushed when Rodger goes to bed. Maybe get on here and encourage folks about not eating late night, or overdoing snacks!…

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry about your SO. That is scary for everyone. I hope they found the cause. I noticed you are doing a squat challenge. I am as well! Are you meeting it? I didn't the first two days (I was challenged to do 100) but now by the end of the day, I've been able to get them done. But boy were my thighs…

It's time to gather the troops and get moving on this, Sister! You've got two weeks til your final fitting. Let's get mooooving! You can do this...you have the discipline, as we've seen it. And now you need determination with a Capital D! Get focused. Announce to those around you that you are on a mission. If you live with…

Does your tree shed its leaves in the fall? If so, that's another positive thought! Good for you with WW. That is absolutely awesome that you are losing weight. So glad you are doing whatever it takes to get you where you want to be. I am so sorry your daughter is struggling. It must be very difficult to be in her shoes.…

You are so right about balance. I don't want to live in a home that is so spit spot that it's uncomfortable (lady used to baby sit me who was such a clean freak she wouldn't allow the top of wood furniture such as dressers, etc be touched). But nor do I want to be in/live in a home that is filthy or has piles of clutter. I…

Something that helped me was to set out the dress I was wearing for the wedding, in plain sight so I would see it. Maybe right by the kitchen? Mine was in the room where I exercised so I wouldn't give up or do it halfway.

HEY. Yeah, I'm talking to you! At least you were MOOOOving! At least you were out there. You could have chosen to just sit this out because it's Friday, it has been a long week, you have other things you'd like to be doing. But no. You were out there moving. And I say YEA FOR YOU. So get that stinkin' thinkin' talk and…

@bex953172 Oh wowie zowie, what a day you've had! Great news about the Ash and back payments. Oh, I'm so so glad about that. And ugh, about your fall. That was scary, embarrassing, and painful all rolled into one. It's nice, though, to see that people come to your aid when you need it. Good on you for pushing through the…

Mary! I am thankful the docs are being pro-active on this. My goodness. I am praying for a quick turn around. And I also want to say, good for you in coming up with great plans of action to keep moving and to tell people what you need from them. Hopefully they will be fully supportive. May your day be filled with peace and…

@snowflake1968 Just letting you know I'm thinking of you :smile: Hope the grands gave you a boost.

Yea Yea Yea!!!! And look at your girlies...wonderful helpers! I'm sure they were basking under the praise you heaped on them...and deservedly so. They were great...and so were you to tackle it. I hope y'all had some fun getting it done :) May peace and joy abound!

@clicketykeys

Well, you certainly aren't sitting around on your keister waiting for something to happen. Good idea to have the grands with you. They will certainly keep you entertained if nothing else :smile:

STRESS! My word...you reached your tipping point, sweet friend! What's done is done and don't let it consume you. I think if you are able to maintain for now you will be doing great. I'm so very sorry that you are having to carry this money burden around. I was so hoping the job would be a go. Do you think that you can…

@Bex953172 My two cents. It is great that you sat down with him and discussed, communicated, and listened. That is huge. Really. And it sounds like you two were listening to each other. Again, that is HUGE. I want to encourage you to set up a time once a week, after the kids are down for the two of you to go over the week.…

Woo-Hoo! You have been a huge encouragement today. Have a great time at the bf's!

Thank you for sharing your toast struggle...(although, you did make my mouth water :) and the steps you took to push through it. So often we get so consumed with that particular desire and we don't pause a moment to --consider the consequences (how it will leave you feeling, the damage done to the progress you made).…

@mytime6630 Yes, yes, yes!!! Right now, this very moment, you are getting geared up for battle come Oct. Nov. and Dec. Right now you are preparing your MIND to push through and come out with no damage done. This is so very exciting. And it is so true---our thinking truly affects our actions. Thank you for the reminder.…

@snowflake1968 Oh, I am so hopeful! It does sound like a good fit. Now we wait! Maybe another opportunity to interview will come up...you've got the practice in! So happy for you. And whew! your part is done :smiley: Have a peaceful and joyful weekend, Snowflake!

Okay, folks, I am, with all love and concern, saying that some of you are bone weary, strung out, exhausted to the point of weeping, gnashing, lashing out, any and all the above. Some of you are frantic and in a frenzy. I want to encourage you to make rest/rejuvenation a part of your weekend. It's as important as exercise…

@aubyshortcake Well, I can certainly see a difference! Good for you. Thanks for sharing---it goes to show that effort and a little time will result in change.

Good for you! That's fantastic! Good that you are coming back for more. Peace and joy

@mytime6630 My My My...look at you! I love reading these victory posts from you. They are making my heart glad. Keep pushing forward and practicing your word for the year :) Doing a happy dance now.

I have to share something humorous that just happened that is completely OT...so scroll on by if that will be buggy for you... I'm at my laptop (obviously) and all of a sudden Alexa begins playing music from my "bedroom" playlist...I think my hubs (who is at work) is sending a message!!!

Wow! Great job in buckling down. Picture or even write down your vision. How do you see yourself a year from now if you strive for good health? What is your attitude? How do you look? What are you wearing? What is your anxiety level? Are you feeling more empowered? Something I heard the other day and am working to…

WOY: Discipline Yesterday, I practiced discipline by not having a snack after 8pm...I was full and was wanting it because "I could." Small Change/Big Impact Threw out white chocolate chips Reverted to drinking 8 cups of water Reverted to pre-logging Reverted back to 1200 calories/day No drinking alcohol M-Th Added more…
