the "FABULoser SISTERS"

WOW....READING THE PREVIOUS POSTS....ITS BEEN SINCE FEBRUARY 24 SINCE I POSTED ANYTHING.  WELL SINCE EITHER OF US HAS POSTED ANYTHING.  OBVIOUSLY WE WERE NOT THE BIGGEST LOSERS!!  OH WELL....I DON'T WANT SOME PERSONAL TRAINER BARKING AT ME ALL THE TIME...LOL'

AND YES, I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I HAVE BEEN A BACKSLIDER.   AND I HAVE BEAT MYSELF UP OVER IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.  BUT HEY, I AM HERE NOW...SO HERE WE GO AGAIN.  AT LEAST I DIDN'T COMPLETELY GAIN BACK ALL THE WEIGHT, JUST A COUPLE OF POUNDS.  I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO STAY ON SOME SORT OF PROGRAM, AT LEAST, FOR BREAKFAST AND LUNCH....ITS THE EVENINGS AND THE DARN CHOCOLATE BUNNIES THAT TOOK OVER THE HOUSE.  FUNNY THING IS, I DON'T LIKE CHOCOLATE BUNNIES.  I DIDN'T EAT ANY CHOCOLATE BUNNIES.  BUT FOR SOME REASON, THEY SEEMED TO TRIGGER SOMETHING IN ME.  ON TOP OF THAT, THERE HAS BEEN AN EXTREME AMOUNT STRESS AND TURMOIL IN MY LIFE.  I KNOW THAT LIFE IS ALWAYS GONNA BE LIKE THAT, BUT I HAVE NEVER FOUND A WAY TO DEAL WITH THESE THINGS. THUS THE SHAPE I'M IN NOW.  I AM TRYING HARD TO NOT LET OTHERS INFLUENCE MY WEIGHT LOSS.  AND AS I SAID IN MY OTHER BLOG....FEED THE WOLVES.  ITS HARD.  LOSING WEIGHT IS HARD.  AND ITS REALLY HARD WHEN OTHERS AROUND YOU AREN'T SO SUPPORTIVE.  THEY DON'T DO IT ON PURPOSE...IT JUST HAPPENS.  BUT AS THEY SAY AT WEIGHT WATCHERS, NO ONE CAN DO THIS FOR ME BUT ME.  SO I AM THE ONE THAT NEEDS TO WANT IT.  AND I AM ALSO THE ONE THAT HAS TO SAY NO...NO TO EMOTIONS...NO TO CHOCOLATE BUNNIES TAKING OVER THE HOUSE (this was a saboutage attempt from my ex-husband...manda's daddy....he sent her home with a buttload of chocolate easter bunnies...and all kinds of other goodies.), AND NO TO ANYTHING ELSE THAT PLANS ON GETTING IN MY WAY!!  SO HERE WE GO....BACK TO THE BETTER LIFE!!!  THANKS FOR STICKING BY ME AND FOR ALL OF YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT...I REALLY DO NEED IT AND APPRECIATE IT!!  LOVE TO ALL!!

HEY!!!  JULES IS BACK!!  I AM SOOO HAPPY!  AND UH OH!!  SHE IS LEADING IN THE WEIGHT LOSS ENDEAVOR!  I AM STRUGGLING WITH THE SAME FEW OUNCES.  I WAS PRETTY PROUD THIS WEEK THOUGH.  IT WAS MY MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY, SO WE TOOK HER OUT FOR MEXICAN FOOD.  AND HAD THE MOST DELICIOUS EXTREME CHOCOLATE BLIZZARD ICE CREAM CAKE. OH MAN IT WAS GOOD!  BUT I HAD JUST A TINY LITTLE SLICE AND I DID REAL GOOD THE REST OF THE WEEK TO MAKE UP FOR THE ENCHILADAS.   THIS WEEKS CHALLENGE WILL BE GOING TO SEE SUNSHINE IN SAN ANTONIO.  FOOD WON'T BE A PROBLEM, OTHER THAN WE PROBABLY WON'T EAT ALOT, BUT IT SEEMS WHEN WE GET TOGETHER, WE DRINK ALOT.  I WILL HAVE TO REALLY WATCH THAT!  MY STEPS ARE STILL INCREASING.  STILL HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE WATER.  HEY JULES....YOU PUT CUCUMBERS IN YOUR WATER???  ewwwwwwwww!!!  THATS NASTY!!  lol!! WELL, TO EACH HIS OWN I GUESS!!  lol  I HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A GREAT WEEK!  WE ARE HAVING SPRING LIKE WEATHER, SO I THINK I AM GOING TO TRY GETTING OUTSIDE AND MAYBE DO A LITTLE GARDENING.  THAT WILL BURN UP SOME OF THOSE CALORIES.

LOVE TO ALL!!!

I have to apologize for being AWOL.. Had that conference in Las Vegas for a week... Zax Birthday...  and just general work stuff... board meetings, reinventing our mentoring program, grants and so much more. And to get my son to science camp this summer, I've picked up three classes (I teach some basic computer applications classes through our Continuing Education Department). That's not usually a problem except that we've just upgraded all of our computer labs to Office 2007 -- but not any of our regular work computers. So I'm teaching these computer classes COLD -- having absolutely no exposure to the new look of the applications until I'm in class... I know...I know. That's no excuse! The other part is our Internet at home has SUCKED!!!

 

So getting exercise has been a challenge. Eating right in Vegas was a challenge. For some reason, I have been having a hard time getting all my water, too. However, I've been adding sliced cucumber, sliced lemon and spearmint leaves... alternating plain water and that has made it go down a little better! Now my new challenge... I haven't been able to choke down meat since that beef recall earlier this week...not any meat at all. Though I think this might've gotten me back on track with my weight loss, protein might become a challenge given that I don't like fish, eggs, nuts, tofu... Ah well -- what would life be without challenges

 

Talke to y'all soon!!!

WELL, TI LOOKS LIKE WE FELL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH, BUT I AM STILL HANGING IN THERE.  I CAME BY  A FEW DAYS AGO AND TRIED TO POST, BUT THE FORMAT WAS DIFFERENT AND IT WOULDN'T POST.  I WAS SO UPSET TOO....I HAD A GREAT BLOG WRITTEN.  BUT ANYWAY, HERE I AM AGAIN.  LAST WEEK, I STAYED THE SAME.  NO UP, NO DOWN.  I HATE THAT. THIS WEEK WAS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME.  I HAVE BEEN ON SUCH AN EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER.  I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW I CAN BE SO READY AND SO DETERMINED TO LOSE WEIGHT, AND YET AT THE DROP OF A HAT, I CONSUMED SOME COOKIES, CANDY AND A PLATE OF ENCHILADAS.  IT WAS PURE EMOTIONAL EATING.  WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT THAT?  I TRIED SO HARD TO STOP, BUT IT JUST DIDN'T HAPPEN.  THEN ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE, MY MASSAGE RAN LATE THIS MORNING, AND I COULDN'T GET TO WEIGHT WATCHERS ON TIME.  BUT, I AM NOT QUITTING!!  I AM STILL COMMITED TO THIS!  I HOPE MY SIS IS, I HAVE NOT TALKED TO HER IN WEEKS......HMM....WONDER WHATS GOING ON OVER THERE?  WELL, THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT.  LOVE TO ALL!

WELL THIS WAS A BETTER WEEK, EXCEPT THAT I WAS SICK MOST OF IT.  BUT OF COURSE, US GROWNUPS CAN'T GIVE IN TO THAT TOO WELL.  SO ONE DAY, I STAYED HOME, BUT THE REST WAS SPENT MISERABLE AT THE OFFICE.  THE HARDEST PART WAS THAT I REALLY HAD NO APPETITE.  WHICH SOUNDS GOOD, BUT I HAVE FOUND THAT YOU HAVE TO EAT.  AT LEAST SOMETHING.  SO, ANYWAY, I SURVIVED THE WEEK AND WOKE UP THIS MORNING FEELING CHIPPER AND FULL OF LIFE!  I KNEW IT WAS GONNA BE A GRAND DAY WHEN I LOGGED IN AND SAW THAT JULES HAS LOST 23 POUNDS!  WOW!!  THAT LITTLE TURTLE IS CHUGGING RIGHT ALONG!  AND THAT BUTTERFLY IS NOT THAT FAR BEHIND.  TODAY, I LOST 2.6 POUNDS TO MAKE A GRAND TOTAL OF 22.4!  YAHOOO!!!!  I AM SO PROUD OF US, AND ALL OF YOU OTHER LOSERS!  I HAVE TO LAUGH AND TELL YOU WHAT ONE OF THE LADIES I WORK WITH TOLD ME.  SHE SAYS, "HEY, HOW MUCH HAVE YOU LOST SO FAR?", I TOLD HER, AND SHE SAID..."WATCH OUT, THEY ARE GONNA START CALLING YOU B*TCH!!" hahahaha! 

   I REALLY DON'T MUCH TO CONTRIBUTE ABOUT THE DIET THIS WEEK.  IT PRETTY MUCH CONSISTED OF ALOT OF SOUP AND LIGHT THINGS LIKE THAT.  I'M STILL HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE WATER.  I NEED TO JUST GET UP AND DRINK IT ALL AT ONCE, AND GET IT OVER WITH.  I THINK THAT WILL BE MY GOAL THIS WEEK.  THE STEPS ARE INCREASING SLOWY BUT SURELY.  ITS BEEN A BIT WARMER THIS WEEK, SO I FOUND THAT I COULD GET AROUND A LITTLE BIT BETTER.  WORK HAS BEEN EXHAUSTING.  BUT I GUESS THAT TO BE EXPECTED.  I AM PLANNING A TRIP TO SEE SUNSHINE AT THE END OF THE MONTH.  I AM VERY EXCITED TO HAVE HIM SEE HOW GOOD I AM DOING.  HE MENTIONED THE OTHER NIGHT THAT MY FACE WAS GETTING THINNER.  IT MADE ME SOOO HAPPY THAT HE NOTICED!!  SO I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IF HE APPROVES OF THE REST!  WELL, I HOPE EVERYONE IS CONTINUING ON AND HAVING LOTS OF SUCCESS!  THANKS FOR ALL YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT!  LOVE YA!! terri
