Weekly check-in

Posted November 4, 2008 * Comments(3)

Lost another 2 pounds, although I feel really guilty about it, since I was really bad this weekend. 

Friday morning, I was 4 pounds down.  Hubby & I went to the Chinese buffet Friday night.  Saturday morning, I was only 3 pounds down.  Then Saturday night, hubby changed menu at last minute.  That along with traditional Sunday morning breakfast put another pound back on. 

I need to get back on track, but have temporarily lost my motivation.  Part is due to the change in weather & time change, but mostly just because.  We/I used to walk in the evening, but now that it gets dark so early, can’t go out and do that.  I have a (cheap) elliptical, but have a hard time finding motivation to do it, when hubby is watching T.V. upstairs (he of course is thin and doesn’t struggle). 

But, I need to listen to the Nike ad and, “Just do it.”

At least I don’t have Halloween candy around the house tempting me in my moment of weakness.  :)

buddy slim theme song?

Sing along with me everyone….

“One Step At A Time”

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you’ve always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can’t touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you’re gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you’re feeling more and more frustrated
And you’re getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus:]
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen and it’s
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

You believe and you doubt
You’re confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you’re gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you’re feeling more and more frustrated
And you’re getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus]

When you can’t wait any longer
But there’s no end in sight
when you need to find the strength
It’s the faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time.

I just love this song because it reminds me that this weight loss is not going to happen overnight, but if I keep plugging away at it, I will succeed!

Feeling good

Good morning everyone.  I had a pretty good weekend.  We went to a birthday party for my grand-aunt yesterday and everyone was commenting on how much better I looked.  I’m telling you, there is nothing like a little recognition to keep you going!

So, that makes 20 down, only 80 more to go!

You
