Good Morning!!
Chilly here this morning. 21.5 degrees. Brrr. The coffee is on the stove and I've started a fire in the wood stove. Hopefully I'll be warmed up soon. Of course, I woke up to a hot flash ... so it took a while for me to figure out just how chilly it was in the house!! LOL!!! Ooh ... coffee is perking ... YAY!!!
On the scale front ... weight was 200 even this morning. No surprise since yesterday was a feast day or indulgence day ... whatever it is I call these things. It was one of the more controlled indulgence days I have had ... so hopefully it will mean the scale will decline even quicker this week so I can continue inching my way closer to the weight I would like to maintain.
Regardless of the numbers on the scale ... life is good and I am doing just fine. I have to remember too ... 200 was supposed to be my "UH-OH" number ... the one that if I saw it on the scale sirens should go off in my head. So I'm actually right at the TOP of my zone ... if I want to look at it that way!!! I am back in the saddle!!! I've no where to go but DOWN!!! Okay. Seriously. I need coffee!!!
We had fun yesterday. I enjoyed EVERY bite of culinary fun as well. Today I need to get some "business" taken care of here at home. Mostly side-business stuff. It will be another good day ... I will remember that the number on the scale is only one measurement. I can feel the changes in my body ... see them in the mirror.
Today I am grateful ...
... that I have today off from work with PAY!!!
... for having a fairly decent night of sleep last night.
... for the anticipation of that first cup of coffee.
... for friends who share their journey with me, and mine with them.
... for my big, silly Doberman, Blue.
Since I have much to accomplish today, including getting on my elliptical machine here in the not too distant future, I should wrap this up and move on!!!
Have a great Monday ... whatever it is you are doing today. I indeed will continue to practice kindness to myself, breathing in and out, remembering that it doesn't really matter how quickly the numbers decline ... what is important is the overall pattern, the fact that I am taking care of myself, the long haul, not the short run!!! Patience is hard for me. I just want to be there and I can easily get discouraged and let myself think ... what's the point? The point is that I feel better when I eat well. The point is that I am worth it. The point is, that left to my own devices I would easily weigh 300 lbs again!!! LOL!!!
Take care buddies!!!

Good morning, Carol! It is cold and windy here, but the sun is shining. I have lots of things to keep me busy today, but need to find the gumption to get started. Hope your day is wonderful, filled with joy, and productive! Hugs, my beautiful 50-something friend!

30 Degrees here and we had a smattering of snow. The two dogs went wild in it... they love it. Still getting a flurry or two. I am chuckling at the "points" you are making in your last paragraph. Enjoying a cup of hot tea here. Mmmmm!

Ladies, I can't imagine dealing with the snow and cold that you have. So sorry about that. Please keep warm and be careful not to get sick. Carol, hope you enjoyed your elliptical and Yvonne, sis, no giving up for you. Sending you a PM.

I'm glad you had a great time! It's always fun to read your journals. I really like the way you write, your language and the way you think.
Oh, and your journal made me think of this:

The scale does keep me honest. And focused. I do better when I weigh in daily even when it annoys me. LOL!!

You sound good and 200 after an indulgence day would seem to be a good scenario for a new low this week. Fingers crossed, keep up the excellent fight : )
