It's great to hear what others are doing...Plan wise and just plain old life wise!
I went for a long walk today with my Retriever! Yay me!
I've had a few life stresses knocking me around the last couple of weeks, but have managed to not do any stress eating over them! I consider that a major accomplishment!
What's everyone else doing today and more importantly...How are you doing today?

Good morning Ladies...and guys if you are out there!!
Char!..
I'm so happy to read that you went for a
long walk with your dog!! I truly hope that you can make it an ever day thing as long as your weather stays warm enough.
Yesterday, I was simply crazy busy!!
As you all know, it was 9/11...so a sad day of remembrance of what we all went through on that horrible day.
I had my Pilates class last night and am loving it more each time I do it. It helps me to want to stand straighter and thats always a good thing. The instructor specializes in classes for big girls so its got a quality of deep compassion and dignity to it...I appreciate that a lot.
She helps that big girls get in touch with their bodies and that great as Ir recall being totally unattached toy my body when I was still very big. One therapist I worked with during that time, told me I lived in my head and I think that she was right. I only saw myself from my eyes up.
All our work is done on matts on the floor. She helps the big girls when they can't do certain positions, find ways for them to do it no matter their size. some can't reach around their back to grab their hand so she has them use a small towel that they
can reach.
Rebecca, I'm glad for you that you are seeing another side of your mom that you didn't know was there!
hk-lowcarb- So, you're a soccer mom....are you also a pitbull in lipstick?
[ .....
just kidding!
Donnaliz! Of course you can join us...thats what we are all here for.
Put yourself on the wieghin too!!
I usually weigh daily but have not this week due simply to the fact that I had tennis Tuesday night and Pilates last night and my muscles are sore and retaining water. I wish that I could see water weight gain and not have it effect my mood but it does....so I didn't weighin...but what I did do was stay more strictly on my plan than usual. I will weighin tomorrow! I feel slim though as I can actually now feel when I put on 2-3 lbs.
If any of you are looking for ideas of what to eat, please keep in mind that I logged my food daily for 20 months as I lost my weight, its in my 1st journal, link on page 1 of my current journal. While its great that its there for anyone to review, I initially did it strictly for my own accountability. I highly recommend this to anyone! To me, this is not only an exercise in accountability, it is a strong signal to our sub-conscious that we are taking daily and self loving actions....and this is a powerful message for our self esteem...which gets crushed by our weight.
I'm gonna be busy again today and am working tomorrow too. I am going to get wild salmon today as I haven't had it in a few weeks!!
TGIF!!!
