I'm still here too but just doing my best to maintain right now. Trying to get my head and heart back into it to lose the last of the weight but just can't seem to stop the emotional eating. Hopefully as things start to improve in my family life, I will be able to refocus but for now I just don't want to gain.

I'm going to have a big drink of water now and clean my living room.

Good thing I did a good clean, the Y never opened at all today! Still motivated.

I'm here! Just floating in and out of the boards. I've actually been trying to stay away from the computer as much as possible. I get sucked into doing too much while I'm on here and it takes up a LOT of my time during the day so I've just been turning it completely off during the day sometimes. Its been good though and I'm still losing. I weighed myself at 202 the other morning so I know I'm still doing ok even though its been hard to get to the gym with this crazy weather. I'm going tomorrow though if I have to strap a snow plow to my bumper! lol! I went on Mon and Tues so I skipped today and my calories were good but tomorrow is for sure a gym day.

Come on ladies, lets re-focus and get back in gear! Kick those bugs so we can get back in the game!!

GO TEAM GO!!

Besides the chest cold that is almost gone (breathing is still not back to normal)- I have been still motivated. One thing that helped tremendously is that I am not really all that hungry- I eat the minimum caloric intake, so I don't get into starvation mode. I added in a little bit more of my normal exercises with the pilates. I have noticed that I am not thinking that I am on a diet- that would only be setting me up for failure because that would be the only thing that I am thinking of!

I have been making better choices of food without realizing it, i drink more than the recommend 64 ozs. of water (I am so thirsty anymore)- have not had a sip of pop in a few weeks (which I am grateful for!). I am thinking about eating slower and how food is really only meant to fuel your body. I give my self the weekend off (in other words if I am craving something I will eat it on the weekend- in moderation), last weekend- I was not in the mood to make supper so we went to McD's- i got a cheeseburger kids meal (I know that is kind of cheesy to order one for yourself)- but so much healthier than the normal adult size.

I know that the lbs. are dropping- but I have not noticed it besides measuring and weighing myself. So overall, I am happy that it is becoming more of a lifestyle change!
