Hmmm....why am I not surprised? You, man-crazy?

I was at one time. These days my definition of man crazy is the man making me crazy

I have been going to gym faithfully since Sunday. AFter a long day at work, I come home, pick up the kids and off we go. Initially, I was thinking that I would work out for 2 hours since that is how long they will watch Sarah and Zach, however its too much for me, so I am only exercise for 1 hour and 15 minutes, occasionally less. (Wow, that was a long sentance) I look foward to going to the gym as it gives me time to think about my day... I like the me time, although I wish I had a friend to exercise with. Maybe I will get an IPOD for Christmas so I can have some good music to jam to.

As far as work goes, several people were out on vacation and when they came back, they approached me and advised me that they can see s HUGE difference from just before they left. I dont know if I beleive that, however I enjoyed the compliment.

Several co-workers also asked about the program as well. I gave them the website and some details.. Its nice to see that my weight loss is inspiring others.

Oh, and I met 2 people at work that is on program as well. What a small world!

Well, Im off to take the kids to the gym... Wish me luck on weigh in tomorrow.

Man, does it seem like its been forever that I came to the site. For a week or so, I was having some sort of trouble logging on.. Werid..

Well, as most of you knew, the holidays hit me really hard. Actually, not the entire holiday season, but a good 2-3 weeks or so. My birthday, Anniversary, Thanksgiving, Christmas and all of the holiday potclucks, meals etc... that happens at work really got to me. I caved in an was off program, I would say for about 2-3 weeks. (Some days I was faithful until the evening, when I said what the heck...) My lowest weight before I began my cheating was 222.5 or something like that, and as of Christmas Eve, I was back up to 231.

So with starting weight at 231, I am pleased to announce that my first weigh in brought me down to 222.5, which was 8.5 lbs lost. Today is weigh in for the 2nd week and I am down to 218, 4.5 lbs gone fovever! It also puts me in the 40 lbs club. Yeah! :cleader:

I am also pleased to annouce that Charity (I call her Christy) efforts have paid off. Our weight loss has inspired another friend to jump in and join the club! Carmen- If you are reading this, welcome! She started on New Years day and I think todate (her first week) she lost at least 5 lbs!

Im glad to back on program. I cant promise that I will write often as work has gotten me stressed, stressed and more stressed. I hate bringning work home, but if I dont, the work keeps piling on! I will write when I can!

Miss you all and Glad to be home!

Congratulations on the 40# club!!!

Also, congratulations on getting below 220......next mini-goal celebration will be getting below 210 and then you'll be hitting Onederland!!!! You sound committed and happy......I'm excited for you.

Welcome to Carmen! I hope she'll begin posting so we can encourage her, too.
