Eating a fruit breakfast with you guys!
Meant to say to Cowinkie all best wishes in your plans this summer. (her post was at the end of last month)
My goal was to lose 8 pounds, 2 per month, from Feb through May to goal date of June 1. I lost each 2 in the first three months. I lost 1.5 for May easily while my mom was in hospital. But I have to come in and report that with only .5 to go I started going backward with my mom home from hospital and so much stress, so regained that 1.5 and still need to lose 2. I know these are little bits/numbers, but if don't nip this particular slide in the bud I can see that it will turn into an emotion-based trend.
Probably stress eating mixed with a little bit of the blues. There would be times I would come home so hungry, too. It would take a long time to get away from their house, and I wouldn't eat there because I was holding out to eat the right things, but when I finally got home I was too hungry and ate for comfort instead. I'm going to buckle down until I see that full 8 pounds gone on the scale, though.
Ds24's reception is Sat evening and I haven't been able to use that as a "calendar goal" like I normally would. I just dream of being able to T-Tapp as much I need to. Maybe I can start building up a little more time at it before then. I've been spending so much time with my parents and I "see" my own body in the future, you know? I realize exercise is the way to stave off the stooped shoulders my mom has.
If you don't believe in miracles, you're not being realistic.
