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

[SunandMoon]

Well THIS clearly isn't working for me. Last week it was my ridiculously high BP, so I was off my diet (stress), and got a new med, and my BP is normal again. BUT, we have our grandson this weekend while Mom and Dad are being wined and dined by her company, stayed at the Trump, private box for all the winners at the Leafs' game last night, so NATURALLY I've been off my diet again this weekend! And it continues...we're taking him to Mr Peabody, 3D movie this afternoon, and of course I'll require a salty pretzel! I mean, who doesn't want a salty pretzel when one is at a movie?! It's just not done.

So 6 more days until we're at Disneyworld and I have no idea what I'm going to do this week. If I'm smart, I'd stay rigorously on my diet, be the beacon of determination, and attain an amazing loss before I pig out on the resort. However....sometimes plans don't exactly work out that way, and I may just be the beacon of, "what the heck, what's one week of being good when I just plan on being bad again in 5 days anyway?" (We're at the Sheraton Gateway overnight in 5 days)

Well, I guess I'll just have to wait and see which "me" makes an appearance tomorrow morning...I sure hope it's the former, rather than that latter, but knowing me.......


So congratulations to EVERYONE for getting those pounds off this week! Is this the first week when everyone posted a loss??!
I don't count because I did not weigh myself. And don't intend to until...omg! I have a weigh-in tomorrow at HM!!!!
Dare I go??!!!!!

Have a safe and fun trip to Disneyland Maybe try to brisk walk when u can and eat lots of fruits and veggies. Soups worked for me. I stay away from junk food but if I do, I'd usually share with my co workers. I open a bag of chips and eat 2 pieces and the rest is theirs
Congrats to all who lost weight and KEEP up the good work. I know you can do it!!!

Oh boy Lynn good luck in Florida , it will be tough. Maybe just go with the flow and know that it will be only 5 days of "bad" behavior that you can over come once you get back.

I am going to juice and freeze 30 pounds of sweet potatoes today. My son drinks it by the ton. He is trying to put weight ON lol Skinny little so and so lol. He exercises a lot , does weight training and is also swimming for his National Life guard certificate so he needs tons of calories. I keep telling him he needs to learn to love nuts. I finally got him to try some almond butter on toast so his "snack" at night is 4 pieces with almond butter.

Isn't it wonderful how mother nature provides such opportunities for us?

Things are melting here today and I even ventured into the back yard with NO gloves...IN the sunshine!
Yes, some days are filled with hope.....

Good luck everyone on the upcoming week. Lynn our theatres do not sell the big salty pretzels, you are lucky! ( well I should be glad ours don't, I love those big pretzels but they do not like me )

[Lynn49]

Thanks, everyone....I do plan on behaving when I can...breakfasts, lunch (although park food can be hit and miss...), but dinners? Not so much; those I will enjoy. But I'm balancing them with all the walking I'll be doing at the parks, so in my mind, I'm still on track...sort-of...

Walks, I LOVE those big salty pretzels. But you'd be proud of me: I even offered a piece to our grandson...yes, yes, what an incredible feat of strength that was...but he took a piece, a bite, and bless his heart, handed it back to me... I confess I was relieved......I mean, he was lucky I offered at all, right?!! It WAS a salty pretzel after-all!!

Well today I'll be trying on those slacks I had hemmed and tops to coordinate with them to wear at the parks....I want to wear something a little different in the evenings when we head out for dinners, but no idea what that would be...something like a twin-set...perhaps more shopping is in order. I'm still over the moon that I've gone from size 22 slacks to these size 16s!!

Have a great week, beautiful people!

I just came across this site, containing an interview with a BiggestLoser contestant and finalist, Kai Hibbard, where
she reveals details about the show, the methods used...and found it quite interesting; perhaps
you will, too...just fyi...food for thought and all that...
