Survival Mode Put Us Back to Zero
A lot of you came here many moons ago when I left Sparkpeople. I loved the community of that place and the support I got there. It was at the height of us being on our game. That motivation you have in the beginning when you're consistently rewarded with weight loss, smaller clothes, compliments to keep your motivation high and you somehow begin to step out of being invisible to the public to people smiling at you, opening doors or striking up conversation. You start to feel human. You don't have to worry about going to restaurants or 'fitting' somewhere. You can go to a wedding and see those God awful thin folding chairs and while you still don't like them, you're not concerned. Many of your worries that fit people never had to think of, have faded away. We started for the long haul in our 30's and that's when we had the most success, losing 226 and 190 lbs respectively.

Another awesome week of wonderful food. I am so lucky! Thanks baby!
ReplyDeleteFrench toast for supper last night, but I think that was the most exciting thing on my plate all week.
ReplyDeleteNo plans for the weekend, but I'm with you. We definitely have to do something as well or risk choking each other out of boredom.
For once, I have something different to report as plans for the weekend. I snagged a Groupon for tickets to a traveling exhibit of daVinci's wonderful machines, so we'll be visiting that this weekend. Other than that, probably same-old story: laze around the house saying we should do something. But maybe if we get up and get going, we'll do something else that's fun, too?
ReplyDeleteRun to Utah tomorrow- Work on Sunday to get some grant work done in a quiet office. We had some great food this week- my favorite was the cajun shrimp over grits. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great weekend! Couscous Fried Rice sounds really intriguing...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the recipe for the shrimp over the cous cous "fried rice!" That looks yummy!
