I feel about you, body.
That’s the weigh, I promise I’ll be true
Ain’t no way I will overfeed you now
I know the weigh….
Dedicating the above to Jana and Debs…and anyone else who knows what song I’m doing! (my husband, upon hearing it, said in an extreme bumpkin accent: “Way’ll….it wouldn’t put a man on the moon or feed the hungry…but dang that was purty good” )
Happy March-ending Monday… Don’t be an April Fool - treat your body right!!!
I am 223.2, which is up 0.4, and brings an end to my approx 20 week long trend of going down (or, I think twice, staying the same). (I’m not at home, so can’t look up my weigh-in spreadsheet (maths nerd alert!) so that’s an approximation, but it was a long time)
However before I get too carried away with brackets, I’ll say that after 11 days straight of being ill with an ear and throat infection, and only getting back to exercise on saturday, I’m not too surprised or worried.
Next week I’ll be down again (or else!)

Up goodness knows how many. I’ve been ill and tired and very down and eating too much all week. I just checked and this time last year I weighed 170.6. I’ve put on 10lb in the last 4 weeks. This has got to stop, but I don’t know how. So fed up with myself.
I’m setting myself a short term goal of 170, since I was there not so long ago. It might be a little less depressing. Maybe.

144.6
That’s down one from the last time I checked in. Hubby had blocked off the room where I keep the scale for a while, but when he said my jeans looked tight I had him make a way for me to get through! Glad to see I was down!
I haven’t been able to work out consistently because of various illnesses and headaches. Here’s hoping this week is better (though I started this morning with a migraine
)

I suppose I should start with an introduction. My name is Karen and I am a friend of Blest (not virtual). I know Debs…(HI Debs!) from her stay at Blest’s. Everyone who knows me tells me I don’t need to lose any weight, but everything is relative. I am of average height (nearly 5-5), and very tiny boned. Although most would not consider me at all heavy, I started phase one last week weighing more than I did when I GAVE BIRTH to my first child. So, while I am not interested in weighing what I did when I became pregnant with her, I would like to take off about 15-20 lbs. and greatly improve my eating habits. As Blest puts it, I am a sugar junkee. I have virtually no use for salty snacks, (although pop corn is pretty yummy)my love is baked goods. A batch of good homemade cookies makes me a very happy girl. Also, being a very busy homeschool mom tends to encourage unhealthy snacking and unscheduled meals which are mostly boxed or otherwise “instant”. So having said all that, following is my weigh in. My starting weight is not exact because my scale was broken when I started.
>130/127.6/112-115
p.s. - I will be only a lurker here for the most part, as I try not to spend too much time on the computer.

171/164.0/155
down .5
I’m amazed at even that. It’s been a very bad eating week for me. Activity has been pretty good for the most but eating was wayyy bad. I’m sure it has somethign to do with the rain that has been coming down ALL weekend long. Yuck.
Tomorrow I go to get the rest of the results from my blood workup. I know some of it isn’t good (blood sugar was off) they’re checking it again tomorrow. Keep you all posted on that next week.

I’m calling this my fresh starting date and will hopefully have a loss to post next week!

131.
kidding - or if they remember me… or if I remember how to peddle a bike. Regardless, I’m glad to finally be feeling better and a little more motivated than the previous month.
I forgot to step on the scale first thing this morning so this is what it said after coffee and breakfast. Considering I have not worked out in a month - first vacation, then jet lag, then being sick - that’s not so bad. But today… I am heading back to the club. I wonder if I remember how to get there.

239.8/203.8/199 (stg)
Down .8
I should be down more but down is down, so I’ll take it.
I was out of town this weekend. Went to my parents/sisters house for a baby shower for my sister, so my eating was not the best. Actually, I did good for the most part but the hershey kisses took over me at one point or two points…ha ha ha! Self-control…I need to practice self-control!!!
I’m getting so close to my short term goal…I need to stick to it and quit blowing it with mindless eating!
I’m going to try super hard to practice self-control this week and every time I catch myself wanting to do some mindless eating, I will stop and pray and ask for help.
This weekend I’m getting together with some girlfriends for lunch, so I will need some (lots) of extra prayer time before that.
It’s to celebrate my birthday, so I get to pick the spot and I so want to pick The Cheesecake Factory.

HI Karen!
Good to see you.
Comment by Debs — March 31, 2008 @ 9:21 am |Edit This
Stephanie, we all have to start fresh every once in a while (well…at least I know I do). It’s great to see you hear!
I still haven’t gotten on the scale but I’m telling you that it feels SO good not to be pestered by the thing multiple times a day. I just eating what I’m supposed to (for the most part) and not eating according to the scale. They say it takes 27 days to form a new habit and although I said I was going to get on teh scale next Monday I’m thinking about pushing it out another week.

Wanna go to El Paso,
but my circs they tell me no.
Things change? I’ll aim to leave right now
Ok, so not the best I’ve ever produced, but I’m about ready for bed. And the song is going around and around and around in my head.

Up 1.6 to 170. O dear haven’t been here for a long time. So much for being back on phase 2. I think the weekend was my downfall with too many carbs. i served at a church lunch for newcomers. By the time I came to eat there was only the pasta and bread stuff left. i regretted it later as I felt so sluggish. silly thing I wasn’t that hungry and if I had waited a little longer I could have had much healthier stuff at home. Silly isn’t it. Bit poor on the exercise front too. I seem to need a challenge to make me do it. It is actually making the time I find hard when there are so many other things to do.
Enough excuses. i need to stop this trend before it gets out of hand so lets see what this week brings.
A few more days then school is over for 2 weeks (well one and a half since I work in 2 schools that have different holidays. Its very confusing. Am hoping to get out some for some good walks and not skulk around the house too much although some time to read and do crosswords will be very nice.

168/138/130..Up 1. I’ve been traveling all week and getting settled in back in NC, so it’s been hard to exercise..I am pretty sure that is going to be the key to getting the last little bit off.
Will do better!!
Have a great week guys

Busy day but i managed to weigh myself and it wasn’t pretty. Up about 5 from my last weigh in 2 weeks ago. I know a couple of that is water but definitely not all of it. I’ve gone WAY off plan and definitely did some emotional stress eating. As I was doing it I thought, “Hmm . . . I’m emotionally eating. I should stop . . .” But I didn’t. So that mixed w/ hardly any exercise was a deadly combo. *sigh*
BUT I’m not giving up, so I’ll just have to pick myself up and keep limping along. I’m so very thankful you ladies are here to help me along the way!
