Janet's Second Wind

[janetsbreeze]

Thanks Laura

I forgot to post yesterday that my weigh in was 187. Ugh.
Today I weighed in at 185.5. On my way down!

Eating was good yesterday AND I worked out. I did a half hour on the treadmill which for me is a minor miracle. I feel good today, but my legs are a little sore.
Today will be more of the same -eating clean and working out again tonight.

Ok, I weighed again at 185.5. Ate a lot of salt yesterday and worked out again.

I'm determined to do this!

You can do it Janet!!!

AWW SHUCKS!!! GO JANET!!!

[janetsbreeze]

Thanks!

[writermom]

Great job on the treadmill!

[janetsbreeze]

Thanks Laura!

I think exercise might be the key - who knew?
I am down to 183.6 today, down almost 2 pounds from yesterday. I know most of that I water weight from all the carbs I was eating but still it's good to see that number move!

[ceecee08]

WTG Janet!! Yea the exercise is helping. I am walking on my breaks at work. I have to shed some poundage.

[janetsbreeze]

Thanks Ceecee - I'm so dependant on my dumb scale.
That's all I am doing is walking at a brisk pace on my treadmill. 3 miles an hour for a half hour. Feels like I am going to die and I start bargining with myself while I do it.

"Ok, I don't walk to do a half hour ... I'll only do 15 minutes."
At the 15 minute mark, "Ok, I'll only do 20 minutes and then I am stopping."
At the 20 minute mark, "#%#%^#, it's only 10 more minutes! Just do it - what are you going to miss, a Real Housewives rerun???"

[writermom]

Janet, I do the exact same thing on the elliptical!

[janetsbreeze]

It's sad, isn't it???
LOL

[janetsbreeze]

Yay, the scale moved again! 182.4!
I do know it won't always be like this and that most of this is water weight, but it feels good to see that number drop!

[janetsbreeze]

Last night K and I had a date night
It's so nice just to get out somewhere, even if we don't do anything that's costly or anything - it's just the two of us and it's always wonderful.

Worked out again yesterday.
Weight is down 1/2 pound to 182.
Sad for me to think that all I needed to do was eat right and exercise. Isn't that what they have been telling us for years???

[Bejewelme]

Janet;

Yeah for date night!!!

And no kidding who knew diet and exercise???? LOL

[janetsbreeze]

I am up a little when I weighed today - up to 183.6. I ate a TON of salt and just a ton really (all LC!) over the weekend, so I expect to see a loss today or tomorrow.

I feel good though

Janet! Where are u? OH THE TREADMILL I BET!!!

[writermom]

Have a good day Janet!

[janetsbreeze]

Sorry all, have been super sick with a cold.
Be back soon

[pooticus]

Sorry to hear you are ailin' hon! Saying prayers for a quick recovery for you!!! Congrats on the weight loss.

I think not only is it about eating right and then the exercise, but maybe you are also less stressed and so less cortisol and stress hormones, too?

Love that you guys had a date! Dates are great!!

Love you!

[janetsbreeze]

Pooti, love you too! So good to see you posting!

[kittycitygirl]

Muah!

[Bejewelme]

Hi Janet sorry you are sick, feel better hun!

[janetsbreeze]

Well, I am still here.

Fallen off the wagon yet again. I've been really struggling with some life stresses and my eating has gone in the toilet.
Just wanted to pop in to say hello and that I've not fallen off the planet.

[writermom]

Love ya Janet! Hang in there. I'll check in with you when I get back from Miami. It's a work trip--no fun.

[Martini72]

Pssst...pass the wagon wheel!!!!

[kittycitygirl]

Janet!!! Where are you? Muah!

[writermom]

Yodelay-heee-hooooo!!!! I almost got myself blown away in a hurricane, Janet. Where are you??

[pooticus]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours sweetie!!!!

Hugs and miss you!

[kittycitygirl]

Missing you Hun. Happy Thanksgiving!
