Sandy- you are so right the scale is just a number. There are so many other ways to see progress than just those 3 numbers on the scale. I can see my rolls getting smaller, I can "almost" see collar bone, I can wrap myself in a regular sized bath towel and so many other things that I notice throughout the day. I think it is important to acknowledge those other things that mark our progress, not just a silly number on a scale.

I am feeling great today. I have plans to go to church and do some grocery shopping. Not too exciting but oh well!! Have a Super Sunday everyone!

Good Morning Stacers!!

Good attitude Sandy. The scale is just a number & we must not live by that number!!

You are so right Starr about measuring our success by other things we notice. Isn't it exciting when you can wrap the towel around yourself.

Hope everyone has a great day. DH & I are off to do the laundry & get a few groceries. Today is football...yeah!

GO PATRIOTS!!

Re: Sun Roll Call 12/9/07

success to me is really how much self respect I have and how much trust I've got with myself...I value respect and trust and when I stick to my plans I have both, and if that isn't deep in my core, it doesn't matter what I weigh. Enjoyed a nice run out in the springtime in December that we are enjoying now. Made me feel great!

Re: Sun Roll Call 12/9/07

hi guys,

sandy and starr, your posts were excellent. starr i especially appreciated what you said about noticing and patting yourself on the back from small things. like being able to wrap a towel around yourself!!! i notice this morning that rings i haven't worn since high school fit my fingers now. and that i can see my jawline clearly all the way back to my ear, even when i 'try' to give myself a double chin i can't!

sandy don't worry about those numbers on the scale, you lost a lot this week and it is going to take a few days to normalize. keep resisting!! is today the day you work all day at the church in the cafeteria? stay strong! and you will knock that interview out!

glenda, i am goign to watch some football after church, too. sounds nice!!

hiya jess!! it is freezing right now for this southern girl, as well....dipped into the high
FORTIES last night and only going to be SIXTY today. enjoyed breaking out the peacoats, scarves, and gloves, though!! how did it go this week with cutting back on exercise and carbs?

i had a bit of a tough evening last night, broke up with my bf this week adn he called asking for another chance, etc. i told him we would talk today, but my mind is fairly made up. i have lots of doubts about him, and it's only been a few months!! if i am already questioning his intentions now, that can't bode well for the future. c'est la vie!

have a great day, all. i plan to go to early mass this morning (sandy, i am one of those catholics who can drink wine now and then, ha!) then running a few errands, get manicure, a few returns at target. then plan to go on a long walk (maybe try to run some?) and make a big pot of soup this afternoon!

My new "sweet fix" is a coffee that is locally roasted - I know the owner of the coffee plantation and he gave me the mocha roast yesterday for my b-day. Gosh it's good. He promised me no sweet stuff is in the roast and even invited me to see what goes into it one day

I might have to take him up on that for the kids to see as a field trip.

Scale didn't move really. But I expect it wants to. I've stopped worrying about it. Apparently I am doing something right as people notice (though I don't see it as much as other people do).

Have a wonderful day - I get to try out the noodles that I got from konjac tonight as we are making sauce today

And I don't want to miss out on it.

Morning everyone...my scale was up a pound but as mentioned it weighs all over the map and I can't wait to get my new one. I alsomthink I over indulged in pork rinds yesterday (I was so hungry which never happens...must be because TOM is due next week). I am actually going to clean my house out of pork rinds. Don't need another binge. Happy Sunday!

Re: Sun Roll Call 12/9/07

hi all -

Didn't weigh this morning - still don't care. I had heartburn all night from the mega doses of ibuprofin I'm taking for my hip, but it's better now. Still, not the most restful of nights!

Success is staying the course, and staying the course may seem boring to some, but for me, it's a pleasure. Yep, I eat the same stuff every day, do the same stuff, and I feel the same - no bloating, light-hearted, have energy, and a good sense of well-being and health. The weight comes off when it comes off, and I've been lucky so far to only have had one major stall.

Have an excellent day, all!

Good Morning....
Well yesterday I was over the top with excitement, now I'm wiped out.
We, went to the school for the 'tailgate' party... to send the boys off on the bus with lots of support... then went to my inlaws for dinner (kentucky fried chicken) was super hungry, as I had forgotten to eat lunch... I made Brownies for a treat, but they were aweful! yuck!
ANYWAYS, we got to the Torero stadium and it was raining cats and dogs! Such a drag... carrying all our stuff, then my thermos of hot herb tea was confiscated. :-(
The game was a nail biter... at half time it was still 0:0 but then we scored in the 3rd twice and 2 more times in the 4th... for a 26:0 win. Very exciting! I was very proud of our boys, they did great! oh, it stopped raining right when the game started, then started again in the 4th so we got a break from the rain. Anyways, I'm wiped out today, sore from jumping around screaming my head off but just thought I'd share. It's kind of a big deal... CIF Champs ya know... I can't believe it, what a season! now it's finally over and I can relax!
Gotta go make breakie now...
Have a great day!

Re: Sun Roll Call 12/9/07

Well I have survived a week of constant college work and without falling off the wagon, so im going to treat myself to a small bag of jumbo cashews tonight.

Glad to see that everyone is feeling positive today. The main reason I check in several times a day is for a 'positivity' fix. Too much negative stuff going on around me.

Re: Sun Roll Call 12/9/07
