Happy Sunday Snow Angels!!!!!

Yep it is still Saturday night but didn't want to show up to late on Sunday so I am here late Saturday night!!

Want you all to know I am back on track with my program and have not lost all of the 5 pounds but working hard on it!! Maybe they will disappear over night. After all they appeared over night!! Sure it works that way!!!!

I am having a little trouble getting all that water down. I don't know how you all do the umpteen glasses a day. I struggle with 64 oz. I will not however give up!! I will conquer the water some how!!

I wanted to tell all you Snow Angels how proud of you I am!! You all have really been working hard and dropping the pounds and inches. I have no doubt that each and everyone of you make the December 31 deadline to lose the weight!! Guess what? I will be there with you with my 25 lbs gone!!!!:D

I really had to stop and think today about the hip situation. I can not allow the 'hip problem" slow me down. I am taking care not to over tax the hip but I have to do the exercises on the bike and walking!! I feel so much better mentally and physically!! Never thought I would hear myself say that. But it is the truth. I use to jog 2 miles everyday and did for a long time then I had a series of surgeries and never started again. I never felt better in my life then when I jogged except for now. I am getting stronger everyday and breathing easier!!

Therefore I will continue to:
1. Stay on program all day
2. Work on exercises everyday
3. work on drinking that WATER
4. Be happy that I am able to do these things
5. Enjoy being alive
6. Love my family with lots of enthusiasm
7. Make sure I also tell my family I love them!!
8. Make sure I get all my hugs in!!!!

December here we come with a lighter load!! We will do this Angels because we have lots of determination and spirit!! We will inspire and motivate each other to continue our journey. We will be there in December with bells on!!

Are you ready for another day????????? I am !!!! Let's do it!!!

We are off and running!!
Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Good morning Lizzie! and angels coming in later.........
It truly is a beautiful morning and I thank God for every one I see, regardless of what it's doing outside.

Your attitude and spirit will carry you to the finish line! (I'm hanging on, do you feel the drag?) LOL!

No.....honestly I'll work up my own again! I'm not through whipping my butt for the past few days but I'm almost done. I lost one of the water pounds and the rest are GOING to be gone! Why not overnight ,Liz? I swear they DO come on that way! LOL!

I need to work on MY issues that keep pulling me back to food as a comfort......actually sedation, but what am I feeling that I don't want to DEAL with? Only I can answer that and I'll be working on it in the days ahead.

Sandielynn! You are funny!! Heartless brat indeedy! I should've known I couldn't be trusted alone with a pie crust full of ANYTHING!
I used to use "Mini-Me" as the trouble maker but she's been banished to Florida so I'm in charge...........or NOT.....as the case may be!

I have within me all I need to succeed. The key is in USING what I have! I will renew my efforts, put away the switch, get back on track.

Thanks for the support and encouragement I find here daily!
Have a blessed day everyone! You are certainly a blessing to me!

Today I will:

Plan my meals
Avoid eating when not hungry
Drink my water: I need 105 oz.
Get some exercise
Put my place in order
Write in my journal

Check back with you later in the day! Be good to YOU!

Hello Snow angels~~ well today was a good day for me.
with the heat and all i have been a bit off track but today did good.
stayed within points and i washed laundry and hung them out, picked up kids from camping,went for groceries,did dishes, made bed,swept floor, did arm weights,rode over 5 miles on bike and loved myself and family alot today.
tommorow i have more golas ot fill but i feel like i am getting back in control.
i felt gtood exercsing today too and resisting temptations too.
well good day to all!

Hey Bren,
Got to stop beating yourself up girl!! Of course I don't feel the drag because somedays it is me!!:D We all have our days!!

About those water pounds I just keep smacking them until they let go and some are real stubborn!!!!!!:tomato:

You know we all have those issues that sneak up and bite us once in a while. I just dealt with a good one. I call it my " gee what is the hurry I have all my life to lose weight" issue. That was a big stumbling block for me! But finally got the issue resolved. Finally have a clear picture of where I want to go with my weight goal and how to get there one day at a time!

You are so right you have everything you need to be successful right inside of you. What a neat thing to say about yourself. (Watch that Lizzie steal that and act like she thought it up!!)

Hope you day was a super one!! You go girl!!

Wow Sandy I guess you are a busy mom!! Holy Cow you do a lot in a day. I feel like I have accomplished a lot by just doing dishes!! I am surprised you have any extra weight with a busy day like today. I am betting everyday is like that for you! WOW

Now for an evening of rest and relaxation I hope! Good for you exericising and staying on points. I may try that cheat meal on Saturday nights.

Have a peaceful night!! Hopefully will see you in Cruise to lose chat!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Hi Lizzie, Sandy and gang!

I am dressed....yes I am ,and leaving at 6 for the FLC for my walk.
I feel like I'm starting over but it's not quite that bad. I got in 7 miles last week.....so much less than I wanted but MORE than I usually get so I'm ok with it.
I got a LOT of exercise at work yesterday. It was lock out day, I had 67 to put on. We have 685 units. I was up and down on the golf cart about 60 times. Then I rented 4 units to flood victims. My heart breaks for them. The last one to an attorney and his wife......4 BR home with 18" of water inside. My Mom and Dad were in the one of '78 so we can certainly emathize/sympathize.

You're funny Liz! Steal away, as I'm sure I stold what I said from somewhere! LOL!
My friend/co-worker said I come up with some good stuff....I told her I'm full of it! We both laugh ,as some days it takes both of us to answer one question. She comes in exausted from her weekend of housework......I told her she might want to trade days to get some rest since weekends are mostly fairly slow.

Have a blessed day......I'm off to the track. Hope the hot tub is fixed by today. I wanna play!

Sandy! Your schedule makes me tired!! It's good you have the energy for the tasks at hand. You're doing great!
