I have read it and said it: it is only over when you quit trying. And I guess by pulling up my socks and going forward, I can reach the goals I have set.
For this week, my goal is to stay OP and to move 10 minutes a day.
This morning I got up and weighed myself. Boy, I didn't want to but I knew if I didn't, I wouldn't stop. So I did it. I'm now at 293.5 which is getting close to leaving Twoterville but not the way I had imagined. So now I know and next week, it will be different.
I dragged out my WeightWatchers materials because I know that as hard as it is, it is the only program that has really worked for me for. It allows me to eat real food and socialize and live as "normal" an existance as possible while trying to lose weight. Shakes, bars, cleanses, whatever - they work short-term but they never last because they are not sustainable.
I recorded my weight in my WW booklet and re-read Week 1: Eat Smarter booklet. I recalculated my points which are at 36. That is the only good thing about gaining. And then I entered my morning walk with my son and my breakfast. So I am on my way.
I have also decided to start a mini-challenge for myself - 40 days OP til Christmas. That is like Lent - 40 days and 40 nights. I can do it and still enjoy any events that should come along.
I am also going to drag out my Walk Away the Pounds and Beginner Yoga dvds so I can get back on track. Those will be gentle on my joints but are still a workout.
And there it goes. Day 1 of Part ??? of this journey. Here I go again!

Welcome back Seph, I missed you. The one thing I have learned about my relationship with food, is that there is no magic pill, and it is going to be a life long struggle. Glad to see you back and setting some new goals... You're cyber friends will be here, cheering you on every step of the way :)
I missed you too!
Sharon is right, there is no magic. I wish to god there was. Just digging in your heels and getting it done every single day.
P.s. I changed my name b/c someone at work figured out who I was and started using what I was posting as gossip :(
I'm not responding to my old name :)
Glad to see you both here. And about your coworker Blue, some nerve! Sorry, if I outed you! :)
I am so proud of you! It is difficult to face the music but you did it! Hooray!
Unfortunately I have also found out there is no magic. But we can do it together!
Best wishes!
