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 #39

Happy Friday y'all!   I am ready for the weekend as I'm sure you are too.   The last weekend in September...how is that possible!?  I feel like I just celebrated my birthday, but then it also feels so far away.  You ever get that, how something can feel so close but so far away time-wise?  It feels like I haven't gotten to enjoy one Fall oriented thing yet.  I enjoyed snuggling up in my Great Pumpkin sheets which sadly was the highlight of my week.  

Now let's snuggle into...


Why Worrying Does More Harm Than Good   (Tell that to my brain.)

If You Have to Choose One, Should You Sleep or Exercise?  (Why can't sleep exercising be a thing?  Wake up and take a shower and be done for the day.)

A few weeks ago I was looking forward to this weekend for a potential paddle but the temps are going to be in the 90's where I wanted to go so, nope.  Bleh.  Therefore, no plans that I know of.  I need to clean the house but what fun is that?

Got any plans for the weekend?

  1. Yeah this hasn't been Fall yet weather-wise except for mornings that are crisp which I like. Get these 90 degree days outta here! Have a great weekend everybody!

  2. I was saying the same thing last night, that I can't believe October starts on Tuesday! I'm taking the pooches to get their baths and haircuts in a few minutes and then have a couple of errands to run. The hubs has to work tomorrow so I will do the grocery shopping and will plan to make a nice Sunday dinner, which I haven't done in way too long. It's going to be raining for three straight days so I'll mostly be doing house stuff. Have a great weekend and hopefully somehow those temps won't be so high by you!
