This video is about so much more than weight loss, but I thought I'd post it here for inspiration and to show the power of the human spirit:

There were several older folks who,if I hadnt brought a small insulated bag of ice water bottles would have been in a fix cause they didnt have any refreshments at all past coffee,I defanitely share the water to any one who needed it...i'm glad they had paper cups at least.The people who put this event on ask if I would be willing to head it up for next year and I said I would.You can bet it will be in a pool hall with lots of refreshments to the people who want it and no stairs. |
My human spirit is sagging here this afternoon..... I ache in places I didn't know I have places to ache! Al the Russian just called me and said he expected me to be in tomorrow morning at 6 am..... Crap!! Why did I give that man my number??? But I do have to report that almond milk really tastes good to me.....I am waffling between the Russian's diet and the hCG diet requirements. He makes sense to me....the doctor also makes sense to me...... Confusion reigns in my life this afternoon...... :mohawk: |
i love the Almond Chocolate milk!
|
I LOVE the chocolate Almond milk too! It is beyond yummy...

I was just wondering what was going to make me cry first thing this morning!! That was beautiful, Jo and HSIN. Thank you for sharing! |
The perfect analogy for weight loss just hit this morning..... I stopped at the grocery store this morning on the way home from the gym. I got a few veggies, and some kitty litter...in the 20 lb box.......LIGHT BULB! I have lost a little less than 2.5 boxes of kitty litter since Feb 2! Keep on trucking y'all..... Keep on getting right back up if you fall...... :cowboy: |
I love measuring weight loss in everyday items. I've always used 5 pound sacks of potatoes as a good judge. When I start feeling down that I've only lost 30 pounds, I make myself try to pick up SIX bags at one time :) Talk about putting things into perspective!
I know it's been awhile since I've posted in here, but I have been keeping up with all your progress & accomplishments every single day. Sometimes I don't feel as though I have much to report back to y'all. We are still trying to get things organized with the new house and trying to get back to some kind of normalcy after D's mom's death. But, we are making healthy eating choices & trying to move our bodies more... so no gains are happening. For right now, I'll take the standstill over a gain anyday. I just wanted to say THANK YOU for posting every day and continuing to be motivation and encouragement to everyone! Y'all rock and I'm so very proud of y'all :) Even though we are all at different points in our healthy living journey, I love the fact that we can inspire one another without shaming or comparing our losses with anyone elses. |
It's been a while for me too!
I have my ups and downs - literally - seeming that I lose and gain the same 4 pounds over and over for the last few months. This is mostly because I completely stopped tracking my food and started going out to eat again with reckless abandon. I had to do a checkin with myself after the big Austin party because we were talking about Reunion and I remembered that I had set a goal for myself to be in a certain dress by then. I really want to make that goal, not only because it will mean another 30 pounds lost but because I am REALLY cheap and want to be able to do Reunion without having to buy anything. I am back in the gym too and loving it. The other night I did 45 solid minutes on the treadmill ( I call him "treddy") and a shitload of reps on the arms and back. I tend to do a bunch of leg-involved cardio and then hit the weight rack for my arms. My thighs seem to be getting smaller but I can't WAIT for my "pouch" to start slimming down, it's the main inhibitor to a smaller size right now! WEE for everyone in the thread! |
Since we are in the "its been a while" moment.. I thought I'd fall in with my update.. since its been some time since I have posted anything.
Last year, just after the reunion I moved and it was diffcult to stay on track with things. Prior to moving, alot of my exercise was riding my bike to and from school 4 days a week. It was an easy way to fit exercising into my already busy schedule. Since I moved, I live to far to ride my bike to school and totally fell off the exercise wagon. Also, I totally put counting daily intake into the non-priority box of my mind. Although I haven't gained any weight, I am still where I have been since the reunion last year. Now that school has let up with just a single class left, I am determined to get back on track with losing another 30 lbs. I did a five mile work out today and have been eating right/watching my intake. The final challenge of my determination is when I am with my girlfriend.. girl can eat which is bad for me, because I love to eat also! We are going on vacation this week and I will not let myself down!! I am making it my goal to have nothing but good to report back to y'all !! :cheerleader: |
UGH
only down 2 pounds this week.
Not happy with myself right now. :( |

I'm mad because I made a couple of dumb choices over the weekend... I think stepping up the exercise has made me extra hungry, and I need to learn to deal with that differently!

I still check the scale, but I can tell I'm building muscle and things are rearranging. Have you measured yourself lately? How are the clothes fitting? |
