Fluff's not-so-fluffy diary

Hey ya Fluff :) Hope you are taking time to enjoy your weekend! Keep up the great work :D
 
Thank you all for checking in on me!! Another weekend over. I dont find the weekends as hard as I used to. Used to be that on weekends, I was always feeling the urge to cheat with temptation everywhere. I dont know if I am just getting used to being on a diet, and used to the meals I eat or what - but I dont find myself as tempted as I used to.

I did good this weekend. I ate well, drank my water, and even got my exercising in. I am so worried that this plataue I was on will come back, I am really trying to be good so I can see the scale move again this week. I have my fingers crossed at any rate.

Hubby didnt get the job he interviewed for. It was a huge let down, and made last week very difficult. Job hunting is harder than I had anticipated. And it seems to take forever. I wish things would resolve themselves quickly, because I really dislike living under this constant cloud of uncertainty. Plus, it would be nice to have my old husband back. This stressed out, frustrated one is a bit difficult to deal with.

I keep believing things will work out soon.

Ok. So my goals for this week are to keep eating well, (no birthdays this week - so no more cake temptations or eating out temptations). I plan to get on the treadmill twice a day, for 30 mins. each day (i will probably take one day off this week tho). I am aiming for 80 oz of water a day (ha! like that will happen. lol.) And I am hoping to see a two pound loss (or I may scream) on Wednesday.

Hope everyone is having a great start to their week. I can't belive March is already almost here!!!! :)
 
Lol. The avatar does look like Peeps marshmallows Miss Jelly. I never thought about that before. :) I used to love Peeps when I was little, not so much anymore. So sugary. Give me a chocolate bunny over a marshmallow chick anytime. lol.

But they still seem to find a way to our house every Easter. :)

They make Peeps for every holiday now. We had snowman peeps at Christmas. They were pretty cute. :)
 
Hey Fluff, you're doing great. Yeah, the weekends have always been hard for me too. There's something about Friday and Saturday night where you just wanna endulge. Having my weigh-in on Monday has kept me honest -- because I don't wanna waste all the work that I've done earlier in the week.

Give it a shot if you're up for it, its not so bad. ;)
 
Hang in there Fluff,
Things will look up soon enough. Glad to see that you made it through the weekend without falling off the wagon, especially during these stressful times.
You are right on track by keeping your goals set. That will help you to move forward with less chance of slipping up.

Keep up the positive attitude, and remember believing is half the battle. You'll see, good things come to those with positive attitudes and beliefs. I'll check in with you later! Get those 80 oz's of water in.:eek:

Hi, hang in there. I know how hard it is when hubby is out of work, we went through it a while back and as stressfull as it is, you will come out the other end of it. And just think about when he does get that job (the one that is perfect for him) what a celebration you will have. Good work on sticking with your diet. Keep it up your doing great.
 
Hey Fluff Things Will Get Better Dont Give Up On That And Doing Good With Your Dieting! Keep Up The Good Work!
 
Hi Fluff :) Sorry to hear hubby didn't get that job. Keep your chin up - he'll get one soon and the hubby you are used to and enjoy will be back just as quick. You are doing so good! Keep it up. I know you will get in all that water - if I can, I know you can :D
 
Hubby didnt get the job he interviewed for. It was a huge let down, and made last week very difficult. Job hunting is harder than I had anticipated. And it seems to take forever.

OH my goodness, i hear you!!!!!!!!!! My FH is out of work as well and it has been three months and the mood swings are out of control. I wish the "old guy" would come back as well. Hang in there. I know it is not easy as I feel the same way. The looming uncertainty plus the negative vibes and the hopes of ups and downs..it is really tough. hang in there. if you want to talk about it, you can PM me, as i am right there with you! All things work out eventually...gotta believe that. keep up the good work and keep your spirits up as it doesnt help to have 2 depressed/frustrated people at home!!
 
Thanks everyone for the great words of encouragement. They really mean a lot!! :)

Skyler - I am sorry to hear you are going through a similiar experience right now. I really hope your hubby finds work soon too. I completely understand how difficult it is. And you hit the nail on the head when you talked about the "hopes of ups and downs" and the constant mood swings. It is so hard not to get your hopes up each time there is even a prospect of a new job, which makes just that much harder when it falls through. But you are right, doenst help when both of us are upset so I try to stay positive as possible. Thanks for offering to PM, I may just take you up on that. :) Here is to hoping both of our situations work out soon!!!! :)

Zoila - You have no idea how many times I have imagined that celebration we are going to have when he gets a new job!! I think about it almost everyday. And I cant wait for it to happen. I know it will one of these days - hopefully soon!! :) (Btw- if we end up going out for a celebration dinner when this is all over, No way am I sticking to this diet for that dinner!! lol.)

Thanks Bize, RedneckWoman, Tempest and Cabana - your words of encouragement help so much! It makes coming here so great, and really helps lift me up and keep me going on this weight loss journey. No way could I do this without this site, and the great people here!!! :)

OKay...now for some good news....FINALLY I have really broken that stupid plateau I was suffering from. I lost 3 pounds this week!!!! WOOHOO! :)
I really needed that boost. And I am so glad I didnt throw in the towel all those weeks when I felt so stuck. Really does go to show that sticking with this will start to pay off eventually!

So I am starting today off feeling great and in a very good mood. It was fun to change my ticker....and......I am now so close to the 160's I can hardly stand it. It has been years and years since I have weighed in the 160's and I cant wait to see those numbers on my scale! :)

Okay...off to read journals!!
 
3 pounds. Good job! No great job!:)

There's nothing like that feeling of success! It makes you want to lose THAT MUCH more. Keep up the hard work, 160's is round the corner for U!:D ..............Cabana
 
Rock on Fluff! 3 pounds GONE, never to return! Congrats for working through that plateau - thats the toughest part of weight loss.

I'm pretty sure I'm due for my plateau soon, so I'll keep in mind your hardwork and how it all paid off. :) Great job.

OH! And thanks for teaching me how to spell "plateau" -- couldn't have done it without ya! :D
 
And I am so glad I didnt throw in the towel all those weeks when I felt so stuck.
