Good things come to those who wait…
Hooray! I finally had some success on the scale. Last week I was 274.0 and this morning I’m 269!!!!! I even saw 268.5 twice but I’m going to go with the higher weight so that maybe I’ll pad my success for next week. It’s so weird, the week that I barely exercise is when I drop a lot of weight. I was so strict with my eating, though, which is what I’m sure did it.
Last night we went to “The Bucket List” which was a good movie and getting out was exactly what we needed. It was tough not to get the popcorn but we made it through. When I was single I would have popcorn for supper 2-3 nights a week so I am a popcorn junkie. I think the lack of popcorn was even harder on my hubby but once the movie started we were fine. Maybe my weight loss is my reward for resisting that temptation???
Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive these last few weeks. I try to not use this blog to express my frustrations/concerns about my son but when he is sicker it directly affects my exercise which directly affects my weight loss. But it means so much to know that people out there are pulling for me and encourage me every step of the way. I hope that I can provide even half the encouragement for you that you all have for me.
Right now we’re getting nailed with another snowstorm. I think they’re calling for about 10 inches. Oh well, what can you do? I just hope we have a nice spring since we have been dealing with cold and snow FOREVER!!!
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the weekend.
Hi Brandie. So glad the scales are smiling again! And, please don’t apologize for talking about your son on your blog….this is your blog. The things that are going on in our lives do impact our weight loss. If blogging about your son helps you, then that is really all that matters.
The blog should reflect what you’re thinking / feeling, so it makes sense that you would talk about your son. Congrats on the loss, and the popcorn. The weight loss would have been badly affected by the salt in the popcorn, so it was a very good choice to avoid it.
Congratulations on your weight loss this week, that’s a fantastic drop in the scales.
Spring will come soon enough.
That is so awesome…keep up the great work!
I saw that movie last weekend, it was so good =)
I agree with the others, don’t feel bad about talking about your son. Have a great week.
