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...

What I'm Reading This Week #52



It's a holiday week which means I didn't read much of anything so there won't be current links.  Instead, as we're approaching a new year and all of the resolutions that come with it (if you're into that kind of thing), I've got links to articles that coincide with the typical top four goals going into the new year.

  1. We are heading up to my folks' tomorrow. They were here for Christmas, and we'll go up there for New Years' and then the boy will stay a few more days. I always feel like I should get more organzied and then most articles suggest things I'm already doing, and ways to create storage that either I'm already utilizing or just can't do with my house. This article was pretty cool actually and gave me a few new ideas. I especially like the towel shelf built over the door of the bathroom and the idea of having a counter surface over the litter box. My cats won't used a closed in box (I've tried) but I bet I could find a tall table the right size and have another space to pile stuff and keep clean... err I mean use as a work station or addition to my kitchen office.

  2. I don't have any specific plans, which feels good. I was supposed to get my hair cut, but my friend is on medical leave for now. So I plan on puttering around the house and taking care of some stuff to "make room" (i.e. purge the heck out of what I can). I will watch the ND game of course, so that will be a nice break in my day. I'm going to make your Easy Breakfast Casserole on Monday which will be awesome. And New Year's Day will be lots of college football. =o)
