Confessions


  • My scale broke.
  • I'm not being very moderate.
  • My pants all still fit, but my mind feels bleh.
I am trying to find the place in my mind where I can do this. I don't seem to be able to find it. The only think that is sparking my interest in meeting my goals is just that. My goals. Fifty-two pounds in fifty-two weeks. The last time I posted a weigh-in was April 11. I was at 198 at that point.

Thankfully my maintenance has been good. I'm at 194 80% of the time but only spike up to 197 or so when I truly overindulge more than I moderate. I'm not congratulating myself for losing four pounds in four months. I am proud of myself for not gaining twenty pounds this time Chickadee regressed.

I have twenty one weeks left. Aprill 11 I was ahead of the game. I only had 24.5 pounds left to go and 38 weeks left. Now I have 20.5 pounds left to go and twenty-one weeks.

That.

That right there.

That invigorates me.

I can do that. I can overcome that challenge, I can rise to the occassion. Those numbers had better ready themselves to accept defeat. Because they're going down!

Oh, and I'm going to buy a new scale.  I promise. Either that, or I'm going to replace the batteries in the old one.

    Interesting... there's an ad from Amazon for a Salter scale on the left sidebar as I read this. Wonder what that means?

    I think it is a very doable number. But I also think you are doing well at other things that have nothing to do with the scale itself. So maybe the focus can be those and the number will follow:)

    Yes, you can do it. I'd do the cheap thing replace the batteries. But I kinda don't have a scale. I dunno where it is.

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.

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. ...

Hippity Hop

I hope it doesn't matter that it's been a week or so since my post on her...but I do have a fabulous special needs daughter.   THIS   and   THAT   are my most recent musings on Special Needs parenting. I'm not sure what I think about either one. It's about being out in public.   Thanks to Sunday at Adventures in Extreme Parenthood   I can handle this blog hop on a week as crazy as this.  I'm excited to visit all these excellent blogs. Stay tuned next week though, for updates on Chickadee's G-tube surgery, moving and The Beast and it's sugar-free diet.  Thanks for playing along at home. I really couldn't do it without you all. Oh, and visit my Facebook Page to see how my weigh-in went this week for GAG.   **I just figured out that  Super Mommy to the Rescue  and Autism Learning Felt  are the sponsoring blogs.  Please follow them if you link up!
