Hey Tawanda!

Thanks for stopping by to check on me. Sounds like you are keeping busy drinking water and running after babies I tend to wait until the end of the day to get my water in. Drinking 4 liters of water at night is not much fun. Last night during one of the bathroom trips in the dark, I stubbed my toes so bad I wanted to cry! They still hurt The moral of the story is drink water early so you won't have to go to the bathroom in the dark

Keep up the great work!

I don't know how you guys do the water---I made it through 7 cups yesterday.

Weight this morning is 161. Still 3# from being in the normal BMI range and don't know how much of a chance I have of seeing that before my wedding anniversary. It really doesn't matter if I do hit it or not by that day, it was just a little wish and being this close, knowing I will hit it soon, is good enough for me. Still am successful in this journey and program.

I'm babysitting again today. The babies are here for almost 10 hours on the days they come so it is long days but I do love having them here. Next week I'll have them 3 days and I believe that will be the case the following week, too.

Well......I'm functioning this morning but not completely--so Coffee #2 is much needed.

I just had coffee number 3 (the cut-off point) and feel great! Good luck!

[Tawanda]

I'm a 3 cup girl, too, Biki. Before MF I might have 4 or 5 cups on occasion......but on MF I'm starting to stress about getting that first supplement in by the time I hit #3......and I don't have it within the first hour either (supplement).........there I told on myself LOL, not enough water and I drag my feet on the first supplement..............LOL. Why make life easy on myself and have it right away?

Pretty weird weather eh? Tho my plants are loving it.

Wasn't this suppose to be a free day? No alarm clock, no commitments, no timetables, just me doing what I needed to do? Well, the day started out okay, headed to town to run errands, buy pet food, buy horse wormer, check hay prices, buy groceries, look for an anniversary gift for DH......just a no pressure, not much to do day.

I get home a bit after noon to find out that two of our g'children and their mother are heading out for a visit........they arrive around 1 p.m and leave about 7..... I loved (!) seeing them and having them over, but *nothing* on my 'to get done around the house today' list was accomplished. I have company coming on Monday and I have tons to do around here. I'm frustrated and then feeling guilty for being frustrated. I wasn't prepared for drop in company and I wasn't prepared to spend my day visiting & playing with my lovely g'kids.......lol. I feel like I'm Dr. Jeykle and Mr. Hyde.......happy about them coming over and growley about them coming over. Guess I'm one of those people who isn't going to be happy no matter what the circumstances......

Anyway, it is too late to feel like beginning the housework that I wanted to do ...........so, I'll just be madly working around here tomorrow after church. It will be fine. It will be fine. It will be fine. It will be fine.

Weight down .5 this morning. Hope it stays away.

[bikipatra]

It will be fine.

Okay, this is what I do. Helps that I have to take a thyroid pill one hour before eating. I make myself drink atleast 8 oz of water before any coffee. Makes me VERY motivated to get that water in so I can take my pill and get the coffee intake started. Then in the hour I have to wait to eat I usually have 2 cups of coffee with a water chaser and then my shake/oatmeal and more coffee. It is 5:48 am and I am about to have my third glass for 24oz before breakfast - still 22 minutes away. So at that point I will have three beverages in front of me. Make it a habit to always have water in front of you.

-1.5 for the week which puts me at 160.5 . 2.5 above a normal & healthy BMI weight per the charts. 158 has been a big goal for years...just because of the blessed BMI charts' determination as to it being the highest weight someone my height is suppose to weigh. Oh, and it also was the figure that Weight Watchers had as the highest weight for my height. So....elusive 158 is close at hand, finally, after many, many years and, too numerous to count attempts at losing weight.

Busy day....and I'm no where near done.

Biki, I have my water bottle with me, but it is still very full ....... I'm not doing so hot on the water consumption today. Yeah, worse than my normal..........

Well, back to work for me.......

Hope the weekend is going well for everyone.

[holberry]

Hi T!
2.5 away is great. You must feel super and please savor this for yourself.
Plus you are so close to goal! Hooray

Doesnt feel like summer to me, how about you? The one thing about the rain, it does keep the road dust down from our gravel road, and all the tree leaves look brand new again

take care

'morning. Not everything is done that I wanted to have accomplished before my company arrives in a couple hours. I do still have time to do some things but not until after I have my 3 cups of joe. I'll fold more laundry and swiffer the floors then (when the babies are here, they are my swiffers I'll have to do a lot more sweeping when they quit crawling).

Up 1# this morning. Due to not enough water yesterday is my guess...4 cups. Yeah, 4.

As I was decluttering my sewing table last night I came across something I had read & copied long before MF. Maybe it was part of why I was ready to finally stick to a program and get the weight off? I don't know, I don't remember how long ago I wrote it down.

*The pain of discipline is less than the pain of regret*

Isn't that the truth? I cannot count how many times I would promise myself that I would stick to a diet, take the weight off, not screw it up this time...........and then fail to keep those promises to myself. The self loathing was incredible. I'm thankful that I have been successful at losing my extra weight with MF and am still determined (and praying) that I will never gain it back. I just need to remember how miserable it feels to let myself down.

HB, dang miserable weather! Humidity is horrible and it is looking like a jungle with everything growing like gangbusters with the heat & moisture. Guess I'd rather have this weather than a drought though.

I'd better get that last cuppa coffee, then drink some water (!!!) and fold that laundry and do a once over around the house.....I'm looking forward to having the company today, just wish I had gotten the house pristine---they are going to be able to write their names in my dust............

Thanks for the quote. I have a hard time controlling myself with the MF bars. So I took all the bars a while back and put them in a big ziplock baggie and put that inside a plastic container so I'd have to go through several steps to get to them! Today I printed the quote and taped it on the top of the container! Hey, whatever it takes.
