Good morning guys! Early today, have to work. Boo! At least it's Friday for me and most of America lol.
Yesterday was a nice day at home, the evening was a little rushed but beggars can't be choosey. I got a 2.25mile walk in, bring my total miles up to 5.25. 69 3/4 to go.
My son had a tee ball game last night, mother in law came along. Always a good time.... haha. Tomorrow my daughter will be marching in our 4th of July parade, she is a majorette. That will make for a busy morning tomorrow. (I'll be following them through the parade route, and I'm counting that towards my miles lol.) I'm tired already lol. Cookout tomorrow afternoon, graduation party Saturday. I will be mindful, holiday weekend or not. I'm dangerously close to the 170's and that is my 'push' to eat well.
All things food have been right where they need to be. Scale says I'm up a little, but I take that thing with a grain of salt (and sometimes a shot of tequila). I've been working hard, swelling/muscle blah blah blah. lol Going to keep on keepin on and check back again with it in a couple days, or whenever I remember to step on right after waking. I have a new freedom about that since the trust fall challenge. I used to be a daily weigher and pray to the weight loss gods, but now I'm kind of like 'Meh, maybe I'll weigh in, maybe I wont' lol. If you're already doing everything you can, then what difference does it make??? Unless you're constantly tweaking your diet and watching to see what happens, of course.
Controversial post yesterday, regarding my SIL weight loss tactics. Didn't mean to offend anyone. A few people rushed to her defense but I assure you, I am no bully. The insecurity makes sense, except when you factor in that she posts all of this on social media for her 400+ friends to see and judge. Being a little insecure myself, I never posted a word of my weight loss efforts until I hit the -50lb mark... that's all I'm going to say about that. Maybe I have a gigantic ego now that I'm all hot and stuff?? Nahhhhh :)
Great, now my kids are awake. I can hear them arguing from down the hall. lol I guess we should get dressed and head on out the door. Thanks for listening to my early morning rambles while I drank my coffee.
Have a wonderful day, guys!!!

Well, if you don't weigh in, how can I give you the gears? Did your daughter start as a minorette? Just curious how that whole subculture works.

how old are your kids? /.... I personally found your chat yesterday about your SIL quite amusing (im a troll.. I don't always comment but I read everything lol) .. I think we all know people like that somewhere in our lives. my mother believes as long its healthy you can eat plate after plate... well no ma - that eggplant sandwich IN A SUBROLL wasn't meant to be eaten twice! (12 inch roll mind you- not even wheat but white bread) and then she prances around saying shes losing weight when in fact im pretty sure she's gained at least 5 pounds... ive tried to talk to her, wont hear it. and im the bad guy when I try to suggest she attempt logging what she eats for a week. some people are happy in their dilerium (spelling?)... have a good day!

Your journal = your feelings. If someone does not like what you said - they don't have to read further. I personally understand both sides more than I wish I did. I've been on plenty of unhealthy diets and I understand the traps they set. I also know that working out an hour a day is not something I think I would be able to continue for a lifetime. But maybe.... who knows..... I guess we all have to try and fail and try and fail before we ever get really ready for success. And who knows - it might work for her. I agree with others that she will gain it all back and more but hey - if she thinks she looks good for the pictures then good for her. Honestly - i think if she did take you up on your offer to help you still wouldnt like her. She does not sound like someone that likeable to me. In my Opinion of coursel.

Wow! You got a lot on your plate so to say, this weekend. But you know how to get back on track and take care of business. Have a great time, you deserve it.

I was the same way as you, what I decribed in your other post was how I felt inside, why I didn't take others help, but how I processed my eventual weight loss was by staying quiet and just letting people notice when they noticed. I hate being the center of attention. I do not think you are a bully, you tried to do something nice for someone you saw could use your help and brand of expertise. She declined. That is not bullying. not one bit.

Count walking in that parade for miles, at least you'll be moving. I'm with you on the scale, if I know I've made poor choices I know I'll be up, so why bother looking, and if I've made good choices and I'm feeling good, why look and risk being upset seeing the same number or .2 lbs higher than before. As for the SIL, she seems to only want attention, either negative or positive. She either wants people to feel sorry for her or tell her she doesn't need to lose, she's fine the way she is, but she doesn't really want to work to be healthy. I say if it's on social media and public, it's fair game. I have friends on Facebook who post political things and then don't expect people to comment on it with their own opinions, hello you just made this public. Isn't that why we're all friends, because we aren't all the same and have different view points. I love that not everyone sees the world the way I do, otherwise things would get pretty boring. Have fun this weekend!! You'll hit that 170's mark in no time. :)

It's a good thing I'm not on jury duty today - I am easily influenced. First I wanted fries.. now I want tequila. Tequila AND fries. And ketchup. In fact, I want ketchup on the ketchup. I'm sure no one thought you were a bully and if they did tell me and I'll kick their.. well, wait.. that would make ME a bully. So let's just keep it with .. those who matter didn't mind and those who minded didn't matter. Now they'll come after me. I haven't had a good argument in a while.

I didn't think you were a bully. Although, I do think you should have pointed out the sugars/carbs in a whole banana. Some people just assume fruit is "healthy" and eat as much of it as they want without regard to its place within your total daily intake. Also, I had a SIL once who I could not stand. She was AWFUL. And, crazy. The day my brother called me to tell me that she had left him and flew back home to Texas after nine years of agonizing marriage, I drafted his divorce petition and all other documents free of charge within thirty minutes for his signature. I think I heard freedom bells a'ringing that day. Holidays have been so much more peaceful ever since. The story here: Yolanda, pray for her. Pray she gets skinny, hot and in her new skinny-hotness moves on to a new skinny-hot-worthy man who isn't a member of your family. Ya know...wish the girl the best...
