The fun's over! It's time for an Easter (Sunday, March 31) Challenge!

not much dieting the whole week ( again? still?), so not only NO loss, but as expected I am up
" quite a bit " now. Still so curious how I can gain it back so VERY fast?? I hope everyone else is in the right mental zone because clearly I am not right now.

Failed this week. +2.6 (196.4) Oh well. Moving on.

You guys!! Winning or losing, you're all conscious of the choices you're making (except Walks...sigh..there's just no mid-point for her...it's either feast or famine! ) You know, as long as we're thinking about what we're eating, we're way ahead of the game! If we feel guilty (Walks?), then just get back to work the next day, brush it off, and start again! Think about where you WERE!! And how far you've come!! I was shocked the other day when I really felt I had porked out, but when I went for my bone-density test, I was the same as before my fall! What I am, however, is flabby now, from lack of exercise, which is making my former tight body ...okay, former firmer-ish body just flop all over the place now! However, since I ate a box of peanut butter cookies over the course of the past two days, I'm sure that will all change. The weight will creep on. BUT! See? I'm aware of it, and won't eat a box of cookies tomorrow! Problem solved!!

It's the long weekend, and even if you may not be going to bbqs, you may be tempted to treat yourself to something that you'd normally consider 'illegal' on your diet. Okay, fine! Go for it! On ONE of the long weekend days! Try to be virtuous the other two...you'll love yourself so much more come Tuesday. I hope I can do that... I know wine will be involved somewhere along the way, but if it is, there will be no cookies!! Hah! We are women, hear us roar!!! Curt....you can roar, too! Did I just date myself with that expression? Ah, well....any date is a good date at my age...

Take good care, everyone!! You've ALL come such a long way, don't screw it up now!!

Curt!! you and I are on the same sinking boat it seems! Not to worry though Lynn will rescue us both with her uplifting words of encouragement....NOT!

Oh Lynn you sure can keep me coming back here for a proper scolding. Isn't it weird though? When I am red hot, in the zone, focused and determined no unwise food can pass my lips, but yikes!! these days it has been one struggle after another every day/ every meal! But didn't that salmon/egg/spinach/tomato hollandaise thing sound yummylicious!!?

[Lynn49]

Honey, any salmon/egg/spinach/tomato hollandaise thingy sounds yummylicious. I'm not, however, a great fan of smoked salmon (was it that?), but salmon I can tolerate...still not my favourite fish...but if it meant getting the rest of that stuff, I could suffer!

And you're SO right! When you're "on", you're a one-track minded machine in the choices you make! When you're "off"...well...there just aren't words to describe the catastrophe. Which, btw, is where I am right now. Looks like we jumped off that wagon together with Curt....guys...right back up on it after the weekend! A cautious, but slightly forbidden weekend!

We KNOW, Walks!!!

[bargain_hunter_lola]

Down 2.2 this week. I've lost just under 7 pounds in the 5 weeks I've been back on WW. Still loads to go but I'm happy with that. Slow and steady.

[Lynn49]

This is 5 lbs of fat, Lola....add two more and that's what you lost!!
Pretty graphic when you see it that way, isn't it?
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

[Lynn49]

[bargain_hunter_lola]

Thanks! Pretty graphic but it helps keep me motivated I want to be in good shape for Florida in February! Need to bump up my walking every week or 2 so I'll be ready for the massive amount of walking (and carrying my little guy).

ok, all kibitzing aside I will clearly have to restart this. Let the lemon water drinking begin!
