I want to just pass by and not leave a message but I don’t want to TOTALLY give up on myself. Seriously! I only want to lose 5-8 lbs. Just to get down below 135. I bounce from 135 to 140 - I want to bounce from 130 to 135. Does anyone know what I’m talking about? My clothes fit today (jeans are relatively loose - feel good) but when I get up close to 140, they get “not so loose”. I would rather have a cushion (funny huh?) to play with. If my top weight is 135 - my clothes will always feel good.
Should I join WW for this much weight? I really do well when I know I have to weigh in front of someone. I am 5′3″. About 10 years ago I stayed at 130 for a couple of years but then I got up to about 15o - one of those things that you dont realize how chubby you are until you lose weight and feel so much better. I lost weight this last summer - down to 135 - and (like I said) got into smaller clothes and really felt good about the way I looked in them. THE BEST PART was that my hubby was working in London for 10 weeks and that is when I lost the 15 lbs. SO when I went over to see him (went over and spent a week with him and then we came back home together). He was very excited to see me after that long and the new body was almost too much for him. HA HA HA HA! I LOVED it! I felt like the most beautiful woman in the world!!! Losing this last 5-8 lbs would be the cherry on the top!
Should I weigh everyday? I get emotional about weighing. But If I weighed everyday - I would be more careful of what I ate.
The thing is - I workout at least 5 times a week. I have really bumped it up this year. I have a notebook in my gym bag and I write down when I workout and what I did at the gym. I worked out 19 days in April ‘07 - tomorrow I will work out so I will have worked out 19 days this month (April) also but April this year(if I workout for 50 mins tomorrow) I will have worked out 100 mins more than I did last April. Yea me! Did that make any sense?
AND THIS HAS BEEN - TERRI’S RAMBLINGS OF THE DAY!
I will think about weighing in the morning. Ill let you know how that goes.

A few years back I read in one of those “simplify your life” books a great hint for managing your weight within a tight range - weigh yourself daily and put the weight on a chart in your bathroom. You just draw a line of where you are each day (you don’t even need numbers if the range is a small one) and you can see when you drift up a bit & need to cut back, etc. Seemed really easy and not-so-stressful if you do it this way. Just an idea — but I liked the idea of having this chart on my wall that showed a flat line and little bumps up immediately corrected…
