Summer Holiday Weekend Recap
Hello and happy Monday to you! Did you melt this weekend? My Lord it was hot. And what do you do when you're us on a hot weekend? Dig out a tree obviously. 😑 Remember the pic of the tree from last week after the landscapers hacked it up? It went bye-bye. We were going to attempt to save it to possibly see if my friend could plant it at her new home (even though it should be done when dormant.) Well, after determining the roots attach to the Earth's core, we had to scrap that idea. We tried to get out early enough but it wasn't. We hacked off the top in sections using some really great pruning shears that made that job super easy then the Mr lobbed off the top so we could begin on the roots. We bought a shovel called the Root Slayer and I will say it did an amazing job getting through most of it. Neither of us are at our strongest right now so despite knowing we could've continued with chipping away at ...
I have read some of your blogs on spark, and followed the link to your website. I truly admire your work. Your consistency, dedication, and the obstacles you have had to endure inspire me to keep going. I am not one to look deeply into my feelings, or get to the core of the hurt, or analyze my state of mind. I am not a "writer" I never kept a journal/diary of any sort. I am starting to believe that in order to achieve success one key ingredient is to take time to think, reflect, ponder and write "stuff" down. ? Anyway the reason i started this comment was to encourage you to continue with a 2nd workout for another week. It has worked for me. I started in July weighing 217 and I am now at 195. I was doing two workouts a day 60 minutes each one in the morning and one in the evening. That lasted only a month since I didnt really have the time for it. I have 2 kids to make dinner for, help with homework, bathe and put to bed. I felt out of balance. Too much focus on weightloss meant some neglect of motherly duties. My husband is great but it didnt "feel" fair and I felt guilty having him pick up all my slack. Just wanted to encourage you to stick with it one more week.

Thanks! I'm going to give it a go for a minimum of the rest of the month to give my body a chance to adjust and kind of hope for the best. We'd had a pretty out of control high cal day the weekend before for V-day so I have a feeling half those workouts were to combat that. We did much better this weekend. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBoy, can I understand your feelings of frustration! I stuck to my workout plan like clockwork last week and Sunday's weigh in had me down .4 lbs!! That's a trip to the bathroom! (Sorry, didn't mean to be indelicate.) But it just burns my butt to workout hard and consistently and get nothing for it (or almost nothing). Although one of my co-workers heard me muttering this morning and said "The scale went down didn't it?" Yes, it's better than up. I'll have to be even more vigilant about my food intake this week, see where that gets me. That will be my "Weekly Tweak" for this week.
