Hi Everyone
Boy have I been neglecting this blog. It isn't because I didn't get back on track, because I did. As you can see by the title I have lost an additional 13 pounds in 3 weeks. I have now lost a total of 47 pounds in 3 months. The weight loss is fantastic but even better are the non weight loss victories.
During the 10th week I was sitting in my recliner chair and I looked down at my legs and my ankles were crossed. It has been years, (so many I can't even remember when) since I was last able to cross my ankles. What a grand feeling that was that week. But the 11th week I had an even better victory. I was sitting on my bed with my legs out straight on the bed. I was putting my daily lotion on my feet. This is quite a chore as I can only reach my left foot with my hands. In order to get the lotion on my right foot I have to put lotion on the left feet and rub the left foot over and around the right foot. Well I guess I should have used the word had to. That is correct I applied lotion to my right foot with my hand. I had just finished the left foot and had an excess amount of lotion on my hand and the next thing I know my hand is appling the lotion all over my right foot including the bottom. WOOHOO! Now that is a victory I am so proud of. This past week no victory other than weight loss of 3 pounds. Believe me I am pleased with that victory but the non weight loss ones are the best.
Now I have started my 13 week and my monthly NS food should be sent Monday and hopefully I will get it by Thursday. I sure hope my 30 and 40 pound bears are in the package. Pounds and committment are getting bored with each other and need some new play mates. I look forward to getting to know the names of the next two. Silly little bears but they do mean a lot. Well until next week stay happy and healthy everyone.

WEEK 9 - 2 POUNDS UP - THE DONUTS DID IT!
Hi all
Well you and I both know the donuts at work didn't get me. I mean it's not like they jumped off the plate and into my hands and said you must eat me now! I let my hands get into them (2 of them) and a bagel with cream cheese. Sad part is I didn't stop there. When I left work on Friday I went across the street to Wendy's and ordered a Wendy's burger. Hey I could have done worse with a bigger burger, french fries and one of those ice cream things but I didn't have any more money. As it turns out I had to search the bottom of the purse and the floor of the car to pay for the 99 cent junior burger. Sometimes there is an advantage to having no money. But after the burger I still didn’t stop. I was out of control and the rest of the night and into Saturday I ate cheese and bread until they were gone.
Come today I am up 2 pounds so I guess I got what I deserved. However this gain has gotten me right back on track. I will not be around donuts again until the end of April and this time I am keeping my hands off of them. I am also going to wait a few weeks before I buy cheese and bread again. I have had trouble with the bread before and now I am overeating the cheese. These 2 foods are trigger foods for me still and I don’t have control over them. So the best thing to do is stay away from them for now. I have to stay on program this coming week and must not give into temptation. Heck I have no excuses not to stay on program the sabotager has been out of my life for over 14 months now and I will not have him in my life again. Thank God! So folks stay on program, stay happy and healthy and I’ll see you next week with a loss.
