Tell me about it.  I was scared to get on a scale for 4 days!!  Plus, now it's TTOM which dosesn't help.

I told myself it's all about maintaining through the holidays. :)

Oh, another thing.  QM, I totally agree with you about the weight thing.  I look at those fitness instructors and they look awesome regardless of their weight.

I have a sister that pretty much equates thinness to prettiness and I have to tell you when I see those super skinny, toneless models...I'm not impressed.  I'd much rather weight more and have the muscle to back it up!!

Sorry, I was at a wedding this weekend so I didn't get a chance to post.  I can't believe it's already the middle of November!

Hi, Guys,

How's everyone doing?  I think that everyone must be getting busy with the holidays.  It's hard to post as much.  We had a surprise 40th b'day party on Saturday at Maggiano's (it's an Italian chain) and I ate, ate, ate.  I feel like the events never stop coming lately.  This Friday is my cousins wedding and I know I'll eat, eat, eat.  I'm trying to let myself indulge but not go too crazy!

And, on a good note, my hubbie got a new job (he was laid off in September).  It'll be an adjustment because I was getting used to him being home and getting those little things done but we'll manage.

I also got one of those food scales that tells you how many calories are in food.  It is super cool!

Thanks for all the hard work putting this together.

At least I went down but I'm not happy with the small amount!

janay - glad to hear you're having a good weekend...you deserver it!

QM - I'm sure that you're weight is just doing the fluctuating thing.  It's unbelieveable how much a scale can go up and down!

I joined the restless girl November challenge...hopefully it will keep me honest for the week and help me through the holiday eating!!

Hi, Everyone!  Have a good November!

Nice job, janay101!  I typically get up early the first half of the year to exercise in the morning but than in the second half of the year I switch to exercising at night because its soooo dark in the morning!  I'm scared to run in the dark.  The streets around me are very narrow and poorly lit.

Yes, I do need to sign up for my races.  I'm using being poor as an excuse b/c my hubbie lost his job but they don't cost that much.

Any plans on avoiding the candy tomorrow?  I think I'm going to let myself indulge a little but try to do it earlier in the day so that I can work it off!

Hi, I did the same thing as last week.  On Saturday, I was down to 111 and than today I was up to 114.  Too much candy at a Halloween Party yesterday.  I'm not too upset.  I know that I'll be back down again tomorrow.

Thanks for the inspiration, Lynn!  You're so motivated.  It makes me want to get out there and work hard.

QUESTION:  Do any of you use a food scale?  And if so, does it measure in grams?  Sometimes the food labels are consistent in their unit of measure?

Hi, Guys,

So, I was down to 111 on Saturday and I went to visit the family and blew it!  My mom is the queen of buying food to make everyone happy.  I always go a little crazy and this weekend was no different.  I tried to be somewhat good on Saturday but than I lost it completely on Sunday and I was up to 114.5 this morning.

I drank a lot of water last night hoping that it was mostly water weight.  Hopefully, I didn't do too much damage and can get back on track this week.

Anyone have any motivational thoughts? :)

QM - Way to go on Thanksgiving!  Those event days/holiday are tough.  I usually let loose a little too much on those days.  Fortunately, it wasn't Thanksgiving in the US, just Columbus Day, which I don't get off anyway.

Are you guys all prepared for the weekend?  I was super psyched this morning when I got on the scale...down to 111.5.  Typically, this is about the time that I get a little overly excited about my weight and too confident that I can keep losing and than over eat.

Hi, Lynn,

I'm at 112 this week!!

Olivia, sounds like you are doing pretty well considering.  Often, breakups are at least good for losing weight...sometimes a good side effect. :)

QM - Wow, you're a young mommy!  I wish that I had my daughter a little younger.  I love being a mom.  i always knew I would but it took a while to find the right man.  It's awesome that you'll be so young when your kids are adults!

Welcome, spacedreamer! To be honest, when there was more sun in the morning, I would always wake up early to exercise but now that it is soooo dark, I exercise after my daughter goes to bed at night.  Fortunately, we have an elliptical machine and a stair master so i exercise in front of the TV.  it's OK but I definitely prefer going out in the morning and running.

My husband and I went out last night for Mexican and I ate way tooo much so now I'm going to go running while my daughter takes her nap.  it's beautiful out today!

Mustard greens are kinda leafy things, like lettuce but more bitter.

So, how is everyone doing?  I've been on a downward trend which is great motivation!!

I was looking for a site that sends motivational emails?  Have any of you come across something like that?
