My, oh, my it feels good to be back. Thanks for checking on me everyone.

I had a wonderful spring break. It was too short, of course, but I had a very relaxing week. Our camping trip went great. It was so nice to spend some time with my hubby and my boys, just the 4 of us.

I'm proud to say I managed to stay compliant the entire trip. Even with my boys fixing smores by the campfire.

Unfortunately my computer is still on the fritz. :hammer:

Hopefully that will get remedied soon. Honestly I didn't even mess with it last week, because I was enjoying myself so much. But, I really did miss you guys. :hug:

I'm not sure I will ever be able to catch up on everyone's journal, but I will try the best I can. So......if I miss something, please forgive me.

I'll write more later.....I just wanted to pop in and say "HI".

Welcome back, Donica!!
Your lovely smile was a great way to begin the day.
Glad you had a wonderful spring break, and I hope that
your computer issues are soon resolved - I've had horrible
problems in the very recent past and know how NOT fun that is.
Missed you, girl!

Welcome back!! That's great that you had a wonderful trip and congrats for being compliant - also for the weight loss. It's so great to have you back at the forum. I totally understand about trying to catch up - things here have been so busy - that I can't seem to keep up with the forum. I just do the best I can...I guess that's all we can do. I hope your week isn't too hectic trying to get back into the swing of things. Again, Welcome Back!!!

Before we went on our camping trip, my DH and I worked 4 straight days, finishing up our flip house (thank goodness). We got almost everything completely finished. At least we no longer have any 11 or 12 hour days to put in. We now have it listed and are hoping for a quick sale.

I reached a milestone last week. I actually told my husband how much I weigh. He had a pretty good idea....but, it just felt like I really needed to tell him. We have a very close relationship and I just felt like I was hiding something from him. The only reason I hadn't told him.....was because I was ashamed. He has been such a huge support to me. He often volunteers to cook dinner and really encourages me. He often tells me how proud he is of me.

If you'll notice.....I have never written on here what my weight is either. I don't know why I find that so embarrassing to share. So.....I'm going to overcome that and spill it now.

My starting weight on January 3, 2007, was 212.4 pounds. That is the biggest I have ever been. Honestly, the way I have been eating for the past 2 years....it should have been bigger. I now weigh....180.2 pounds. My husband says I don't look like I weigh that much.....but, I think he is just being kind because he loves me so.

I'm really looking forward to getting out of the 180's. I haven't seen the 170's in at least 7 years. Honestly, I'm not even sure when I last saw the 170's. Hopefully during Sunday's roll call...........I will be there.

Something Sue said in her journal rings true for me.....I want this year to be about me getting healthy and staying healthy.

Now.....I just have to click submit...

Donica...I swear we have a lot of similarities. This weekend I came clean to my husband what I weighed and I always told him that I would tell him AFTER I lost the weight, but for some reason I felt the need to. He said the same thing...you don't look like you were that heavy then when I started and now at my current weight. And he said the nicest thing to me this morning.....You look nice today and small. I left the house on top of the world. Its these kind of things that help keep me going and want to keep losing.

I didn't mean to turn this around about me cuz I think its great that your husband is so supportive...and I hope you leave the 180's forever this weekend.

Well, today was an interesting day. I went with the 7th grade group on a field trip. We went to the City Museum in St. Louis. (It is basically a huge play ground) There are several tunnels and wire apparatuses (sp?) that you climb on and through (if that makes sense). Anyway, some of the spaces were quite close. If I had went on this trip in January before I started MF, I would never have attempted to climb around through the tunnels and slide down the huge slides. I was still a little nervous about some of the small spaces, but I actually fit through all of them. I had a blast, and got quite a bit of exercise while I was at it.

I found out my computer is definitely broke. I have a problem with the network interface card which allows you to connect to the internet. I hope they fix it soon.

I weighed this morning and was a little disappointed to see that I have only lost 2/10 of a pound since Sunday. Of course, I am no longer doing so much physical labor at the FLIP house. I really believe that work burned a ton of calories. I am going to have to start seriously walking again soon.

Another bad habit I have started is eating peanuts with my DH at night. I don't eat a lot of them, but I really believe it is affecting my weight loss so I will have to cut that out. (Easier said than done I'm afraid) I've also noticed that peanuts have a tendency to upset my stomach a bit, so I really don't need that either. I'm hoping that by writing that down here, it will remind me to stay away from the PEANUTS!!!!!
