What I'm Reading This Week #18

Happy Friday everyone and welcome to May.  We had a long week of getting the garage together so the Mr could finally park in it six weeks later.  We still have some work to do in there as far as purging and such but we needed to get the space useable again since it's been a holding tank for our old countertop/sink, old grill waiting to be picked up by a friend, insulation, built planters and patio table and extra fencing from critter cages.  We haven't had the mental drive to figure out how we get the shelves in order.  I think I'm going to have to look up some garage organizing articles or something because it's really overwhelming to look at it all.  If we can get a plan together to tackle it then maybe we'll have our weekend plans for next weekend as long as it's not hot yet because we don't want to be in a sweatbox. Now let's peek into: Dietitians Agree, Eating More Might Be the Secret to Your Strongest Year Ever   (Volume eating FTW.  It's been ...

Do I really have to get up? - Weigh In

Down the 2 that I was up 2 weeks ago so basically back where I started, which I'll take.

With a little luck and being extra vigilant this week, maybe I can slay my dragon of 285.  That was the lowest I got when I lost weight over 10 years ago and it seems to have eluded me up to this point.

Tomorrow or Monday the Mr and I are going to sit down and really overhaul the plan.  We need to look at this as though we're just starting out or something.  (Except you know, without that awesome benefit of week 1 water weight loss or consistency on the scale and measuring tape.)  ;-)

Now, we're off to the farmers market and I'm not excited at all.  I didn't get to sleep until 2:30am because my mind was racing and could not turn it off.

What's on your agenda today?

    It's funny (not the haha kind) how we all seem to have a weight that truly become a dragon for us. It's just a number, yet it takes on epic proportions in our hearts and minds.

    Today is supposed to be cooler here (only low 90s) so I'll take the little guy to the park in a bit and then run some errands. Tomorrow will be the pool in the morning, and who knows what in the afternoon.

    Good luck slaying your personal dragon this week!

    Good luck with your dragon. I'm three pounds away from my first mini-goal. Gah. So impatient.

    I get why our bodies fight against losing weight, but I kind of want to tell it, "Hey. It's 2012. I'm not going to starve during the winter. Get with the program."

    Did your cousin like the Atletica workout?

    I hear ya about the dragon. I can't seem to get below a certain number. It's like I jinx myself when I get there. I am hovering there now, just 2 pounds away, yet can't step over the line. I have not been in a good place in my head for a while and I know that has a lot to do with it. Thankfully, my husband is an awesome man who lets me vent to him and he sits down with me and we form a plan...together. You are lucky this way too. The support and participation of your spouse is crucial!! My plan today is to hang out at the lake with my sister and my kids. I packed healthy snacks and just need to remind myself to drink water. Thanks for your blog, I love it!

    Congrats on the loss! I wish it was as easy as "starting over" to get things rolling again. Try to enjoy the farmers market : )

    congrats on the weigh-in results. Sorry about that mind-racing thing. I'm noticing that more often in my own life these days.

    My day is being consumed with a jr-high reunion, of all things. Lots of fun (and cookies!) so far. :)

    I'm just back from a road trip and a few days of over-eating so I'm concentrating on getting back on track.
