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. When we went on vacation, as long as we came back and got rig...
Ugh, yeah Waxwork 2 was terrible. They went for extra campiness on purpose which didn't help at all. Sorry for subjecting us to that!
ReplyDeleteWaxwork 2 was pretty awful. Sad really considering how much I like the first one.
ReplyDeleteYesterday was wet and cold. We are definitely getting into the season here now. Overall a good day.
We took a ride up to Vermont. There was some nice color starting, but nothing earth-shattering. Plus it was overflowing with tourists because of the long weekend. But it was still a nice, lazy, peaceful weekend! The Mr has very good taste - your flowers are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh, what pretty flowers! I love the fall variety and those rich colors. Says Autumn really is here! What a sweet pea the Mr. was to surprise you!
ReplyDeleteAs I've been typing I've had both Fed Ex and UPS come to my door with some Christmas gifts I shopped for. LOL I said I was wrapping early this year and I mean it (snaps rubber band on wrist as a reminder). =o)
I spent some time with my uncle yesterday which was really nice. The weather held out well for me so there was no driving in the rain. Today is quite warm and humid and very sunny. I saw two squirrels in the backyard with HUGE corn cobs in their mouths as they scampered off by the trees and started munching. Cracked me up! I have a feeling the hubs is going to want to cut the lawn today because it's supposed to rain later this evening. Tomorrow it's in the 70's, then we drop into the low 50's (possibly high 40's) the rest of the week. That's a big ol' temperature swing by over 30 degrees.
