Praise to the God whose mercies are new every morning! If you woke up this morning (and if you didn’t, please comment and let us know!) then you have a new day to make new choices with God as your helper! Forget what lies behind (I really need to forget my behind!) and step forward into a new, healthy reality! And while you’re at it…
Weigh In!!
And don’t forget, this week we begin our study of Philippians. The first set of questions is here, and I will announce our discussion date later today!
Morning\afternoon\evening all! (depending on where you are and when you read this)
I am down from last monday, but actually up 3 from my lowest weighin this week. So I have no idea what’s going on with my body, but so long as the numbers keep going down, I’m happy.
Oh, and the number today is 227.8. (i think that’s down .8 from last Monday)

No change this week. I didn’t do great with eating, but that is all behind us, right? Ok I did do something good. I went for 3 walks yesterday. My husband was home so I got out for 3 3/4 mile walks. (not 3 3/4mi) Anyway, it felt great to move again! Looking forward to a better week for food and exercise!

130. But it feels like the middle of the day to me. Still jet lag. I woke up at 3am.

192.8/189.6/180stg -3.2
I forgot to weigh in last Monday but when I got on the scale Tues I was up to 192.8. It took work (and I mean the work of sheer determination) to stick to it this week. It feels SO GOOD to know I’m down an dwill keep going down!
Comment by Tami — March 10, 2008 @ 7:59 am |Edit This
Down 1 1/2 lbs this week! I’ve been trying to eat more good calories-maybe it’s working. That and not making any homemade baked goods-I’ve resolved not to eat anything sweet and yummy unless it’s homemade and worth the calories! I’m bad about licking the beater, the spatula, the bowl, the first batch right out of the oven…
I’m also starting to run outside, which is HARD for me. I can’t get the scale to budge unless I work out 5 days a week. Today is going to be a good day! I just know it!

145.6
That’s down 1.6 from last week, but I’m not surprised - I was sick for a few days, couldn’t work out and didn’t eat much. Feeling better this week and can’t wait to get back to my exercise routine - how weird is that coming from me?
Comment by Jana — March 10, 2008 @ 8:45 am |Edit This
Jana…is that Jana Jana? Our Jana? You can’t wait to get back to your exercise routine? Woo Hoo!!!!!!

239.8/205.8/199 (stg)
Down 1lb.
I was hoping for a little more, but I’ll take 1lb. It’s that time, so water retention, so hopefully next week will be even better.
Jana, glad you’re feeling better!

I am a coward and didn’t weigh myself this morning because I knew I’d be up. Time of the month - I was in a bad mood all weekend, ate far too much and was generally grrrr. Maybe I’ll weigh myself tomorrow and see exactly what the damage is.
On the positive side, I did indeed wake up this morning (to a wild and windy world of weather) and had my first physio appointment about my back. I’ve got some flexibility exercises to do and another appointment next week. And so far today, I’m eating the right things and drinking lots of water.
I wish I didn’t get so completely thown into a spin by my hormones though.

AMEN to that. [As in people in general being mucked about by hormones, rather than you in particular. Although, come to think of it, Bekki can be not nice to know this time of the month
]
(and I’m hoping that the 50 miles between us right now is enough…)
Comment by Debs — March 10, 2008 @ 9:53 am |Edit This
Debs, 50 miles isn’t all THAT far!
Today, I’m 124. My weight has been creeping up and although I am a bit bloated, I know that’s not all of it. So I’m going to go on Phase 2 for a time. My purpose is 2-fold. Lose a couple of pounds and retrain my eating. I have been eating too many things lately that should be more occasional treats.
And I ma so thankful for Monday weigh-ins to help keep me on track!

(but she doesn’t have a car, and is broke so won’t want to buy a train ticket, and it is a bit far to walk….)
Love you Bekki

That may be true, Debs, but I’m sure she has a long memory!
232/218.4/149.9
up .6 but still w/in the 2 lb range i ALWAYS seem to fluctuate w/in. not that that’s ok. i’m just glad it’s not back in the 20’s!
i miss exercise. i miss having time to do something other than driving, chasing kids, and occasionally eating and sleeping.
Comment by DebbieBoo — March 10, 2008 @ 10:45 am |Edit This
Oy!
Don’t forget you’re seeing me at the weekend.
But I do have something exciting to give you, so I’ll be nice and forgive you.
Comment by Bekki — March 10, 2008 @ 11:01 am |Edit This
I am? Oh yes, ’tis true. Something to give me? How exciting.
Boo, any luck on persuading your Grandma (?) to lend you her treadmill until you leave?
Comment by Debs — March 10, 2008 @ 11:35 am |Edit This
Ahem. I did weigh in today. Holding firm at 129.
Now I shall lock the scale away again for a few weeks.
Really! I will!
Comment by blest — March 10, 2008 @ 11:42 am |Edit This
You funny blest. But we love you anyway.
Oh, that reminds me of something. But I’m not gonna tell you what it is. Cos I’m mean like that!
Comment by Debs — March 10, 2008 @ 12:13 pm |Edit This
And if you even think about beating yourself up over seeing the number 129 rather than 127, look at this

And look what you’ve made me do now - I was looking at my Texas pics and I’m homesick for you guys all over again
You know what the real problem is, don’t you? You and your boys are just too stinking cute.
Comment by Debs — March 10, 2008 @ 12:19 pm |Edit This
Not weighing this week, hubby left for 9mo to a year deployment on Saturday and I will say the eating out was NOT pretty.
BUT we are back on the bandwagon first thign this morning for weigh in next week.
Comment by Stephine — March 10, 2008 @ 12:48 pm |Edit This
168.8 up 2.4
Brandi I think I am with you. I am getting a bit lax here about sticking to the Beach phase 3 so I think I had better revert to stage 2 just for a week or two. i keep wondering whether just a bit lower might work for me anyway.
On the exercise front, I learnt about the treadmill this week and had 2 session on it, 15 mins and 20 mins on successive days. then my calves ached so I gave it a rest. Maybe have another go tomorrow or maybe just go swimming again as is my usual Tuesday exercise. I have to make myself as it is too easy to think I haven’t got time.
Keep going all. We’re doing great.
Comment by Elly — March 10, 2008 @ 4:09 pm |Edit This
I’m not really weighing in….I am in week 18 of my pregnancy. I turn 30 on the 24th of this month and my ultrasound will be the next day. So far I have gained 7 pounds in my pregnancy which my doctor says is really good. I went to my strength and balance class tonight and it was really really hard. It is amazing how much a protruding belly can affect your balance and strength. lol
Comment by Mandi — March 10, 2008 @ 7:34 pm |Edit This
Glad we’re in this together, Elly! It takes some practice to learn how to eat in the “real world,” doesn’t it?
Comment by Brandi — March 10, 2008 @ 7:50 pm |Edit This
Hey yall… didn’t get back online yesterday….
Exercised today! Ate well yesterday!
170/158.5/120

153/138/128 - up one from last week but last week weigh-in was right after a nasty bout of stomach flu so I’m not surprised. And I was at my parents’ the last five days where I tend to always overeat, so I’m happy it didn’t go up any more!
Another crazy week trying to catch up on work hours after being away. Would like to squeeze in time at least once or twice to get on the treadmill - you’re right, Elly, it’s so easy to say I don’t have time…and yet I manage to be on the internet so I must have at least a few minutes, which is better than nothing!
