Hi Gang,
I hate to be the wet blanket of the group ....... but I've had a very difficult week. My Dad had a total knee replacement Monday, and I've been at Mom and Dad's for the last 3 days helping take of him, and will be here for a few more days. Dad is doing well, but the old family dynamic is triggering all my food impulses and I have gone off the program in little and big ways. Today I have been better, but not perfect. And added to that is the 'monthly affliction'.
Oh.... I also bought a new scale because I had one of those ones with the huge dial on it and I couldn't read it very accurately, and the dreaded thing happened .... this scale says I'm 5.5 pounds heavier than the old scale. Sooooooo, that's depressing too, and I've faced the fact that I have to adjust all my numbers up 5.5 pounds.
Anyway, I am up 1.5 pounds this week. Actually for sliding off the program as I have, I'm thankful it's only that much, but it's still disheartening and I'm struggling with disappointment and negativity.
Gonna try and break out of it this week and get my good momentum back (and stay sane within the confines of my parents home).
SO Glad to hear of everyone else's success, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GANG!
Carrie
