Welcome to the week everyone.


I have started my LONG weeks this week. Usually here by 5am and out by 7pm.


I am bringing my stuff for the gym every night because if I don't and I have to go home first I will probably slack off.


I went to the gym both Saturday and Sunday and really worked out good. I needed it.


I was reading you're posts about the holidays coming. The new issue of the WW magazine is out and has some yummy things in there. You guys should take a look.


I also read Fitness, and there was some seriously depressing news in there. One piece of pumpkin pie takes 45 mins to run off at a pretty quick pace.


I also read that you're body really only remembers the first 3 bites you take of something. So I am going to do very small portions of my fav things. Things I don't see all year long no sense in wasting space in my tummy with things I could have had all year.


I don't do Christmas. My family is gone and I just have not done it in years. I used to love it, but things change. So I usually go back home to my house in Texas and lock myself in with some movies, I think the plan this year will be the same but somewhere sunnier so I can catch some rays LOL.


Here's to a good week everyone!

Shawna,


I have always struggled with my weight but not nearly as bad as it was when I started this last time.


When I was married, I ran about 5-10 miles a day. I was pretty in shape and had no chouce my ex was pretty firm on what he wanted me to do and or eat. I was young and stupid and at the time followed directions pretty well.


When I met Terry (KS City man) he was a bigger man and didn't mind me indulging. I had the first pizza in 5 years one day with him in a hotel LOL via room service!! It was so good. I went overboard when I was in the hospital recovering from the ex, I couldnt really get up and walk a lot and packed on the #s.


I knew I could do this. But there are days when I just feel like I can't imagine doing it for the rest of my life.


I give myself one treat a week. Thursday night I usually got out for one meal I have been craving after weigh in. It has worked for me so far and honestly I don't feel like cheating often. The gym is another story there are days when I just don't feel like doing it at all. But I go. I know I need it.


I am almost 30 and I want little ones. I want to be healthy and be the mom that can get out in the park and play and chase them and hear that little squeal as they run by. My parents didn't do it but I will. That is my biggest motivation. Invetro people are quite strict about overall health and I knew I was not healthy.


So I am getting back to the old me. The in shape me. I won't be perfect but at least I have tried.
