Working on day 10


My foster dog, Meo, left for his new home this morning.


Supposedly this is the last cold day and it will be above freezing for the rest of the week.

MOMD day 73

worked today, went to the gym after, stayed on plan, weigh in and measure tomorrow morning, so that keeps me on track, also have a work challenge going on 15834 steps today, lots of stuff to keep me keeping on, just hope to hit a new low tomorrow
great job on the double digits Mandra!

MOMD day 74
weigh and measure at the gym, down 7 inches, 7 pounds this month.

WHOOT!!!!!!!!!!

Wow Congrats Liddie!

It is MOMD day 66 for me. Packing boxes for the upcoming move. Signing for the new Rental House tomorrow and won't be moved in completely until May 31st, that is when our old rental house contract is over. Tried to get out early but Landlord didn't want to play along. Oh well, just biting the bullet and paying double rent for 2 months.
Youngest son got suspended for 2 days for fighting at school, so now he is at home but has to help me pack boxes. He is not too happy about it, so hopefully he won't get into trouble again.

More hamster sized snow flakes this AM. Crazy STL weather...

Congrats Liddie!


Working on day 12....

I WAS the Master of My Domain - 28 days

I AMthe Master of My Domain - 2 days

Sheesh.. I agree Lisa.. if work kicking my butt made it smaller.. mine would be GONE right now. Actually my butt has never been the issue.. it's always been my stomach. Which from what I understand, is the worst place to carry it.

I dived into a bag of popcorn Saturday night without calling a cheat.. so had to restart.. unfortunately (and THIS is what I need to stop), it continued into Sunday.

Liddie.. congrats on the pounds.. and even more congrats on the inches.. incredible!!

SuzyQ.. it's awesome that you're racking up the days with a move coming up. I know a move leaves you with a lot less time and with a lot more temptation to just pick up some fast food.. WTG on keeping it in line

Is this a bad time to say how incredibly nice our weather has been? ....and now that I mention it I notice that it's thunderstorming outside. Shouldn't have said anything!

Marbara.. hope you enjoy Florida.

Mandra.. WTG on day 12.. woohoo!

...and now a portion of the post from my journal.... because it definitely applies to my friends here.

I've been watching the biggest loser the past couple of seasons on hulu.com. This season in particular makes me realize how much of each of our weight loss journeys is about believing in ourselves.. that we can do it, that we want to do it, and changing our comfort zone to someone who DOES do it.

Being here on this forum has been amazing.. I've met friends.. drawn incredible strength from them, and hope I've been their strength at some time as well.

When I think about it.. it's really even more than that. I've always been tough.. but sometimes tough has been getting to a place I can't be hurt. I'm just beginning to realize that although I'll always be tough.. letting more of myself out to those I trust can lead to even greater strength, a strength that faces challenges with honesty and courage.

For that I thank you all.

Mike

Mike - sorry you had to restart, but good job for getting back at it.

Been up since three am with my senior hound, Lucy. Ever since having most of her teeth out she's been doing a lot of snorting, hacking and wheezing but lately it's gotten bad and tonight it's really bad. As soon as the vet opens I'm going to see if I can get her in for an exam.

Yesterday was birthday cake day at work - did not eat it. 13 days completed.

MOMD day 78
it snowed here all day yesterday, hope its done for the year now!

Double rent is crappy, Miez, but at least you have more time to make the move, do you like the new place?

Mandra, hope Lucy is feeling better today. great job avoiding the cake!

Mike, so glad you got right back on track after being attacked by the popcorn!

Hey Liddie, yeah we have more time to move, as for liking the place, not so much. I really like the Area and it was just so we could get a foot in the door so to speak LOL
It is run down and needs a lot of TLC to make it liveable in my opinion. Some people just don't give a damn about their properties and how they live and how they hand over a Property to Renters. They think they can hand me a pile of Crap and expect us to leave it spick and span when we move back out at the end but that is not going to happen. I have documented with writing and Photos I took of what the place looked like when we got the keys and I am handing that to the Property manager on Monday.
As for eating and such, still on track MOMD 67 going on 68 today

Unfortunately Lucy's condition worsened and I ended up taking her to the emergency vet where they had to put her on oxygen. Long story short, the vet found a tumor in her throat and we ended up sending her to the bridge.

MOMD fifteen days.

Ollie and I are hugging you.

Awww, hugs Mandra...

Hey you krazy cats, hipsters, slipters, etc.

Tomorrow is my day 1. Time to remove my head from that dark dark place...
