I walked 10 miles this week.  TEN.  I still have to pinch myself, because I can’t believe I did it.

Of course by last night, my FMS was flaring and I was DOG.  TIRED.  Plus I have a pinched nerve in my pinky toe, and since I have about 150 miles on these shoes, it looks like a trip to the shoe store is in my future.  But today it was better (yay for cushy organic hemp socks LOL).  I did crash for a nap today too.

The scale is still only showing -3 change, no matter how hard I flogged that scale to try to get it to submit to my will (oh come on, you *know* you’ve done that too ).  But I can feel subtle changes here and there.  Still fluffy, just an eensy bit less than I was last week.

I just thought of a couple of small things I’ve been doing that have helped.  One is to use a smaller plate…an 8″ salad plate instead of the usual 10″ dinner plate.  It’s a psychological thing, I’m sure–you actually eat less, but feel just as satisfied.  The other thing…if you have trouble getting all your water in, try buying a special glass–a Dollar Store usually has a good variety of glass tumblers, and sometimes the acrylic or plastic ones are even better.  They come in all kinds of funky colors and patterns.  I’ve found that having a glass that’s fun/pretty/whatever that’s just for water sometimes makes it more palatable.   Your mileage may vary, of course, but these are a couple of quickies that I find helpful.

It’s Day 5 and we’re still rocking along. The Simon and Garfunkel chicken was pretty good, and I don’t even like chicken!

Still eating on plan, just sitting down with a big glass of water to see how everyone else is doing!

I know this is the second post today, but I just have to tell you all this or I will burst and water will go gushing out all over the place!  I drank 83 ounces of water today!  So far.  No diet soda yet, but I think I will when we watch a movie and have light popcorn.  But this is amazing for me since I normally have anywhere between 2 and 6 cans of diet pop per day and I haven’t had ANY in almost 48 hours!!  That total is just water and doesn’t include the coffee I had or the milk that I had with my cereal.  So I probably had more than 100 oz of fluid today!

Hi all. I’m sorry I haven’t been here for a while. I’ve had a good week. The problem is I’ve been PMSing big time and I have trouble focusing enough to surf and comment when I’m like this.

The good news is I lost three pounds in week. Yoga has been awesome. I went four times to classes. I found it also makes you eat healthier.

I will be back in full force to comment when PMS is gone. Hopefully soon.

And Leanne, I hope I did the category right.

I love this site.  I really do.  I love the support and the knowing I’m not alone.  Reading about everyone and the start of the weight loss, the joy of the first couple of pounds, the frustration of staying the same, the agony of gaining.  And knowing that everyone is going through the same thing, having the same feelings I am.   I just like the feeling.

Ok, enough of the sappiness.  I left my WW stuff in my car.  And I put my pj’s on.  The problem.   I don’t remember how  many points I have left and I am very hungry.   Anyone want to go to my car for me.  Thanks.  that’s great.

Once in a while, we need fresh tunes on our iPods, MP3 and CD Players while we’re working out.
