I gotta go blow by dose.

  4. Because Im here for you too: (Your comment from my weigh in post): You're right, it doesn't own you and you WILL ride off into the sunset a success. You just have to do it for today. Tomorrow will take care of itself.

    We can do this!

  5. ladies! THANK YOU!
    @Nikki-thanks. I'm really obsessive about my weigh-in unfortunately. I do it in the morning, after I pee and before I eat or have a drink. Last week I may have also done it after exercising and taking a dump. Course, I may just be trying to feel better. :)

    @Lisa"One Mom's Weight Loss"-Thank you. I'm just gonna lay low for the weekend.

    @Fit Mommy-Thank you. I feel like a whiner. I usually do when I'm sick. Thanks for indulging me and helping me feel better.

    @Kristina-You may have just given me the oomph I needed to not just blow it today. I'm going to do my best today, in spite of the SICK. Thanks so much.

  6. Don't be so hard on yourself over your weight. I find that if I think about eating healthy in order to feel better, I'm more likely to do it than if I think about my weight.

  7. @Matthew Isaacson- You are right. That is a wonderfully healthy perspective. I need to get that philosophy into my actions and general frame of mind. Especially when I'm challenged! Thanks.

  8. Gains are not good, they just aren't anything we like to talk about. Now turn it around, refocuse on this week and get back to basics and I am sure next week's weigh in will be a big one. Martine x

  9. Start figuring out body fat percentage with each weigh in, too....so you can really see what is going on. It will help with morale!

    I answered your protein question over on my blog. Hope it helps! Meat/fish is usually the most effective protein....but there are other options! Hang in there. We're all in this together!

  10. @Martine- Thank you. It's nice to have some positive reinforcement. I'm refocusing-through the haziness-and getting back in the groove.

    @Greta from www.bigbottomblogger.blogspot.com- I think you're right. I'm sure I'm making headway there. I read back on your plateau buster post, and emailed it to myself. I think it's a real gold mine. Also, thanks for the pointers. Whey protein is something I hadn't thought about before. Hafta try it.

  11. Don't be sad! A certain amount of fluctuation is normal. And even if it's because you had a real "slip" it's probably just water weight gain which will come off as soon as you get back on track. Be gentle with yourself. Do some self nurturing. I identified so much with your sugar post the other day, when you talked about taking care of everybody else and in the same breath talked about needing sugar. They are related. It's no coincidence. When we give until we are bone dry, the simplest, easiest way of trying to take care of our own needs is to put something in our mouths, and if its sugar, all the faster the reward. Unfortunately, after the reward comes the kick in the head. We always forget about that when we get the 10 seconds of satisfaction. Give yourself a nice little gift today (call a supportive friend, spend some time in nature, spend time doing something you love to do) - you know best what brings you joy - YOU DESERVE IT!

  12. Hey Journey,

    Thanks for the uplifting comment. It looks like we're both in the same range of bmi! I about threw up when I saw that I was listed as "obese"! I surely don't feel like I am, but I suppose it depends on where your fatty areas are.

    Good to know someone else is having a hard time with their sweet tooth. :) I'll definitely be following your progress. )

    -J.

It's Here

We got the moving truck rather unexpectedly. It's more expensive than Mr. Survival planned, so we're doing a lot of lifting, cardio, and squats. No. We're not doing the bootcamp in a trailer. We ARE moving things to the new garage, since we can't move in yet, but they're being kind enough to let us dump in a storage manner. Sorry. I'll have to beg your forgiveness and promise to update you. Eventually.

I Found True Happiness

It feels like I've become a detached voice, writing but not feeling on this blog.  I'm living a lot of things that don't fit neatly into my bloggable ownership file. Even now, I've spent an hour with this tab open to write a new post and I've done absolutely everything else possible.  For once I can't put a finger on what I'm feeling.  I don't fit into any definable box. On one hand, I'm spending an hour in therapy with Chickadee and another hour round trip three times a week. Mr. Survival is fighting off unemployment blues. We cannot shake things up and have me go to work. I'm not going to go to FitBloggin'11 . But, on the other hand, Chickadee is STANDING in the stander for minutes instead of seconds! Chickadee is grasping things momentarily for the first time in eighteen months. I'm so in love with Mr. Survival it's unbelievable. We are tighter as a family than we ever have been. I'm stressed and frustrated.  I...

Flying With Concrete

Today I wanted to write about my dreams. Full of hope and bliss and fulfillment. Yeah, I sound about as light as a bucket of cement. Ready to fly away. Hang on, while I toss out the top of the pile. Maybe that will help me find my lofty aspirations. Nope. Thing is, I'm remembering today that I'm afraid of heights. Really. Once Hubbend made me climb up three stories of scaffolding. Broke it all down for me and left me no other choice. Made me feel irreplaceable. Yes, we must remember that I am crazy friends. Leave it to me to feel important by being told to go up a towering structure of death. I did it though. And I even wired a speaker while I was up there. But I'm still afraid of heights. So. Do you wanna help me out today? For every comment that tells me something someone wants to be able to do that they can't do now I will do one minute of exercise. Really. Because of my child care situation, it will have to be tomorrow morning. So have at it. ...
