I weighed myself this morning and the good news was I saw the number 146.5. The not so good news is that I hardly ate yesterday because I was upset. (In fact, I need to change my dinner food diary because I only ate half.) I'm sure my weight will bounce back up tomorrow a couple pounds. I weigh myself periodically between the weigh-ins I post and I know that I am heading down not up. My weight loss goal is to average a half pound a week which is realistic for someone my age and size. I've lost 10.5 pounds (if I believe the 146.5) in eight weeks so the rate is not too fast.
When you have toddlers they consume your every moment. They are busy, busy, busy. They create laundry by breathing and your schedule is their schedule for sleeping. You get tired and worn out at some point and you take it to your friends and ask "How long will this last". And your friends tell you that it won't last forever, hang on. Then they tell you that you will look back and wish that it had lasted forever. So true. In this weight loss journey i am feeling the struggle yet I feel the richness of the experience with my FS buddies is rewarding me in so many ways. Echo.

losing 2.5 lb a week

This is the week I will start getting some form of exercise. When I first started Induction I went on a daily walk for a few days. About a week in to that, one day I began to have pain similar to sciatica and decided to give that time to either blow up or blow away. Ummm, Darri, it blew away. Time to get back out there.
I look at the weight that everyone is losing in the challenge and am amazed at the numbers people are posting. I have been telling myself that many have much (much) higher starting weight than mine and therefore will tend to shed the first pounds quicker. But having an addictive personality, I know that the voice in me that says things like that is the voice of Denial. Yep, good old Denial coming out to let me justify why I'm not losing weight. Denial won't tell me "Hey Lardo, quit practicing the Way of the Couch! Get out there and move it, move it, move it". So this week Denial is being shown the door. Yoda-san will quit practicing the Way of the Couch.

Busy day today. Tonight I went out with a friend to Bonefish Grill. She is getting a divorce, both of us have high school seniors and lots to talk about. I told her I was low-carbing it and we settled on splitting the ceviche appetizer. We were talking and watching the Carolina/Miami game and just decided we didn't want dinner at all. Love that when the appetite disappears! We headed back to our town and went to another spot to watch the end of the game and ran into another girl from our crowd, who joined us and ordered some thick cut potato chips covered in a gorgonzola cream sauce. (I tried a taste of the sauce on my pinkie:-). )We've all been through so much in each other's lives here, thick and thin. Death for some, divorce for some, disappointments & triumphs with our children who we seem to have collectively parented. We've been there in the middle of the night for each other and on all sorts of crazy weekends singing in to turkey basters etc.
I know with my friends that I don't have to worry about being pulled off my diet. They have been with me through my quitting drinking and my quitting smoking and I guess they know that once I decide a thing is done, it is done. They also know that it is my faith that makes it possible. So I can do my part, but I have to hand it over to God for the parts I struggle with. Letting go, letting God.

Today I was clearing out a drawer (while I was looking for something in it) and found an index card with this quote on it (in my handwriting so no mystery quote ghosts!):
It is no use saying, "We are doing our best". You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary."
-Winston Churchill
i don't remember writing this on the card, I don't even feel like it is a familiar saying. Yet I think I was meant to find it today. What say you?
