Good Morning Everyone!
Here is my week 9 update. Today was weigh in day. I am continuing to slowly but surely inch down on the scale. I was 214.4 this morning which means Ive released 13.2 pounds since starting this journey the end of July. I wanted to average 1 to pounds a week so Im right where I wanted to be at this time. Ive decided to not make any new goals and to continue to work on the ones Ive already made. Im still struggling with the more exercise part of my goal but figure that will come as the weight continues to come off. During Labor Day week, I slipped with the ice cream. I had 4 of the low fat ice cream bars during that time period that we keep for Mike. He likes those after he has been out mowing in the sun. That being said, we only went to DQ for a cone once and that was actually allowed with my goal. All of my other goals are being met easily. So for now, Im just going to keep doing what Im doing because its working and hope to add more exercise as I begin to trust my knee and ankle more.
How are all of you doing? Ill leave you with a thought I have on my wall......
What if my eating were based on rational and nutritional choices rather than emotional ones? What changes would I make in my eating habits? What foods would I eat? What foods would I eat less of?
Hmmmmmmm..I dont know about you, but I always want to reach for a bowl of ice cream, a cookie or some other sugary treat when Im sad, angry, fearful or hurt..exactly what I did as a child. The fix for me is to not have it in the house because Im lazy. I wont go out and get it. J
I hope you have a great day! Linda

Can't wait to burn my pumpkin spice candle! National Coffee Day is coming up on the 29th so I hope to score up on a free coffee.
It absolutely works. I lost 10 lbs after being stuck at same weight for yrs. while stuggleing to lose even an oz.
Instead of extract I use canned white beans n I rinse the beans. can beans have a jel on them a serving is 140 cals. I onlt eat 1/4 cup daily. It really really does work.
