Welcome back Fluuf,

I really hope things get better for ya!!!! Congrats on your loss......... Sorry to hear 'bout your family member. Well, try to have a good one
 
Hey Fluff,

You didn't post this morning:( I know I saw you on....... You trying to be slick :D Well, just checkin on you. Have a good one
 
Hello, Fluff~
I'm really sorry to hear about your recent misfortunes, but it's good to see that you're back on your feet and offering support for others.
I really appreciate the encouragement.

Just thought I'd let you know~
 
FLUFF!!!! So Glad you are BACK!!!! I'm sorry to hear of your relatives passing and the illnesses. When it rains it pours, huh? It does get better :) Congrats on the loss! Thats great! Hope tomorrow looks up for ya and you keep up the great work :D
 
Thanks everyone for checking in on me and the kind words! As difficult as last week was, I am ready to start this week with optimism and good spirits. I really need to get back on track diet wise as well. Last week was Spring Break (just one long giant weekend it felt like) and I got a bit off track with my weight loss program.

Being out of town, I had to eat several meals at fast food places. No way would my husband tolerate me buying a 4 dollar salad, so I mostly ate burgers (at least I skipped the fries though!) I watched my calories, but not the fat. I know some of those foods were absolutely terrible for me to eat.

Long car rides meant no water guzzling for me, or else I would have had to stop at every rest stop (tree and bush) from here to there. I know its been over a week since I have had me 64 oz of water a day!

And being gone (and sick) meant no treadmill! I haven't walked on my treadmill in over a week! Today is the day I get back on. I know it is going to harder after being off of it for so long. Just hoping my legs arent killing me afterwards. Grrr....hate that.

The good news is that I weighed myself today, and I am still at 167. So no weight loss, but no weight gain over the last week. I am pretty happy with that considering how far off track I have been.

But I am ready to jump back on today! Back to eating right! Back to drinking water (and peeing all day)! And back to walking at least 30 mins. (hopefully more like 1 hour) a day! Now that Spring Break is over, I can really see summer looming for the first time. I would love love love to lose at least ten more pounds before summer!!! That is my next goal - to be ten pounds lighter by June 1st!!

I tell you what though, this past week has been tough! Whatever black cloud is sitting over me better get a move on, cause I can't take much more bad luck. The latest stroke of bad luck (in my long long list) was that my car got sprayed by a skunk!! A skunk in the road sprayed my car the other night, and it still smells even though I have aired it out for two days!! Seriously, what are the odds??????

Ok...positive thinking here. This week will be better. This week will be better. This week will be better!!!! :) (It better darn well be! ) :)
 
Woooohoooooooooo Its Magic Monday And We Are Going To Rock Them Scales And I Am So Proud Of You For Going Through All That And Not Gaining You Rock Girlfriend!
 
SPRING IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This week will be tons better. Spring is suppose to bring out all the lovin from people:D Have a good one
 
Hey Fluff,
Glad to see you back in action! WELCOME Back:p You had me worried there for a while.
Sorry to hear about your relative. And that darn black cloud.
I think you need to chase it way. Send it on it's merry way.
Things will look up you'll see......Hey, they already are!!--your back with us and back to taking care of U :p
Glad your scale is still movin' in the right direction! Thats a positive sign!:)

Keep up the exercise, even if you haven't in a while! I'm telling ya, since I started working my pm job, I'm walking alot but, its not the same as exercise. I feel flabby around the mid section all of a sudden. (I think its cause I'm not working out)

Well, I'll check in later. You have such a positive attitude, I know your going to reach your goal in no time!..............................Cabana:p
 
Thanks you all! :) I am back on track today. Already drank my 64 oz of water (Ya!) and I did 50 mins on my treadmill (Ya!) and I am doing good on my calories for the day (Ya!). I am a bit worried my legs are going to hurt tomorrow after taking a week off from walking (boo), but hopefully it wont last long. When I first started walking back in Jan. my legs hurt for like a month!!! Surely they won't this time.

Still trying to figure out what dinner will be. Nothing like waiting til the last minute...lol.

Ok. I am off to read journals. Thanks for the great support guys!! I could never do this without you!!! :)
 
So sorry to hear about your family member. Can I just add something real quick? There's just no escaping stuff like this, and the chance to eat well or exercise just cant always be achieved. That's what I think is going to be so great about maintenance! I still plan on counting cals, exercising and all, but when life throws you these different things, and things arent in our control, the LAST thing we oughta do is sweat that! Does this make sense? Im not really posting towards you fluff per se, just that what yall went thru is a really prime example of how things are just gonna happen, and whats important is getting thru it, and then getting right back on track! Thats what I love so much about coming here...we have all had our moments, our drinking bouts, the weddings, the funerals, the parties, and those of us who chalk it up as 'just life' and then come back, are in my opinion, the ones who are going to make it! And look, here ya are!
 
Hey ya Fluff :D Glad to see you're doing so well today :D Keep up that great work! :D
 
Hi, when your legs are hurting just remember its a good pain lol, I sign that you did well. Congrats on being back on track. thats the hardest thing to do to come back and pull yourselve together after a bad time. But your doing it, so good on you.
 
Thanks Zoila, Bize and Kate! Your right Zoila...its a good pain...lol. I just need to keep telling myself that. My legs this morning are only a touch sore though, which is much better than I was preparing for. We shall see if it stays that way after I get back on the treadmill today. Hope so!

Thanks Kate for everything you said. You are completely right. We cant escape life. We have to figure out ways to deal with what comes along. Its not falling off the wagon that is the real test....its whether we can get back up on the wagon that really tests us. If we can keep getting back up, then I think we will all be ok. :)

These past few months have been a real challenge for me. They saying "When it rains it pours" has been my mantra here recently. But at least my weight loss is something I actually have control over, if nothing else right now. And I actually find comfort in that.

So, gonna keep going. Hoping to have another good day today. Felt good yesterday to be back eating right, and exercising. Felt like I was actually doing something positive! :)

Ok...have to get the kids off to school. Will be back later to check in on everyones journals! :)

Wow, I told myself the exact same thing yesterday. I'm choosing to get fit and lose weight. This is my choice, and only I can ruin that....and why would I want to do that to myself?!

Lets keep going, we've come entirely too far to back out now! :) We're on the home stretch to summer, so lets make this happen!

I'm finding that my decision to lose weight and be healthy has helped me stay positive about a lot of things. I think you're doing the best thing for yourself right now in a situation of unfortunate events, and I wish you luck!

glad to hear that you're back on track..... And your 10 lbs goal is a good idea. You can do it :D Hope you had a good day
