Sorry for the delay!!

Hello everyone.  I am sorry that I haven't posted in a while but I get on here and read everyone else's post and just forget to post one of my own.  I have been doing "okay" with my dieting.  Not as good as I know I should do but atleast I am not at my worst.  I have been SO tired here lately.  It has been either one of my kids being sick, my husband, or myself.  The weather here is so dang crazy.  One day it is freezing and the next day it is hotter then ever.  That is probably one reason everyone is staying so sick at my house.  But back to the weight loss issue.....I have been going to the gym still.  I do so good when I go but I have slacked off a little.   By the time I get off work all I want to do is go home and crash.  I have GOT to get back into my routine of things!!  I have been eating pretty good though.  All the girls at the office have been going out to lunch EVERYDAY here lately and I have not had the will power to say no.  I keep saying next week will be a better week.  I haven't regained anything these past weeks but I can feel myself falling back into the old rut of things.  I probably need some vitamins or somthing.  One thing I AM excited about....I got an email in my yahoo mail about the biggest loser cookbook.  I ordered that and it should be on its way.  I have been in search of some good healthy reciepes.  I can cook but I have no CLUE how to cook healthy.  I have been raised deep south all my life and unless it is fried and covered in butter then it is not considered good and I have been having a really difficult time breaking that habit.  If someone told me to either eat healthy or die...I would be done for.  I have no clue how to eat healthy. 

But I am going to do it...I am going to pick myself up by the boot straps and re-do this dang thing.  I was doing SO good there for a long time but I guess I just got bored with it all.  You can only eat so many damn lean cusiense until even they don't taste good anymore!! 

I thank everyone for their support on here.  It has meant the world to me!

Good Job!

I know, it's hard!

I know what it's like to see the ENDLESS (seeming) road before you and want to give up. All I can say is DON'T!!!! Make progress no matter what & any way you can - even tiny baby steps move you in the right direction.

I know it's hard to get the boost to exercise regularly, especially after you've been doing it for a while. That's why I joined a class  - I am expected to be there, so I go. Sometimes I don't want to, but once I'm there I'm ok. I even got my mom involved in the class, so now I have even more reason to go.

Just because you're going to lunch with the girls from work doesn't mean you have to eat like them. Go, but eat healthier than you would have before you chose to lose the weight. Skip dessert or substitute something for the fries.

Ultimately, it's all up to you. YOU make the choices that determine if you're going to lose the weight or not. We're just the ones who want to see you succeed. You can do this!

Listen to her...

Cherie is soooo wise...   but no, really, she has awesome, inspiring advice.  She's totally right!

I hope that you are still with us... we miss you!  Update us and let us know how you are doing!  And give us an update for the challenge... even if your weight has increased, don't quit!!  Hang in there!
