Not a bad 2nd week!

Well I've had my 2nd weigh in, and I'm still going in the right direction, so that's good. I wasn't too concerned as I've been making it to the gym at lunch time, and it feels really good. Also I didn't cheat too much. And I've totally avoided ice cream. It wasn't a challenge until tonight I saw an ice cream commercial and I really wanted it. But since we don't have any in the house, it wasn't too difficult to ignore.

My biggest challenge is hunger at work. I try to bring enough good food with me, but some times the lure of home made cookies or chocolate cake is almost too much to bare. I said almost - I have been saying no, but it makes me sad.

I'll keep working out and keep at it. Next weekend is a friend's stagette and the weekend after is her wedding, so I really hope I can keep my head through those.

HI CAROLE

Welcome to EP!!!  I just ran across your blog and saw that you were new.  (I'm fairly new, myself.)  I just started trying to lose weight on 1/1/08 and I've managed to lose 8.3 lbs.  I thought you could use another "friend."

I haven't got much support, other than this website.  My husband doesn't seem to care if I lose weight or not.  This site not only helped me to get started, but is helping me to stay motivated so far.

Come visit my blog if you want to know about me, and leave a comment if you want to be friends.

Good luck on losing the weight!!!!!!!      -  MB
