katrinat's Journal, 07 July 2008

Well, I'm up 2 pounds, but that's okay. I had been losing quite fast, and not for the right reasons, and I had a very enjoyable weekend, so it's all good!

My SF trip didn't turn out to be much fun-- had to get up Wednesday morning at 3:30 to get ready and catch my plane by 6, so by the time I was done working at 7 pm, I was too tired to do anything but go the hotel and sleep! I am going back down this week, though, and will be there for 6 days, so I plan to get some time in on the weekend.

Friday night I took the kids to a friends for a BBQ and fireworks display. Had tons of food, as well as alcohol, so not great for the eating, but, like I said, that's okay! They had over $1600 worth of fireworks, so the show lasted about an hour and a half-- better than the ones put on by the city, I think!

Saturday, myself and 3 of my girl friends all went to a nearby resort (Bonneville Dam Resort) and spent the night in a room with a hot tub on the deck. We had a great time, just hanging out, having a few drinks, watching movies, and relaxing. Food was good there, too, although WAY too expensive! Got home yesterday to find the hubby here, ready to talk and come home. So, yes, he is at home, but a lot to still work on. I am not going to be the pushover that I've been so much for the last 16+ years. I now have friends, I have done stuff on my own, I know that I look good and am attractive to others, and I have so much more confidence than I did a month ago, it amazing!!

So, anyway, that was basically my week. I am planning to really get back on track this week-- not so much to lose any more weight per se (maybe 10 pounds more, but we'll see), but more to maintain and make sure that these 2 pounds don't keep adding up and turn into 20!

Hope everyone is good out there and had a great holiday weekend (those of you in the states!). I'm gonna go get caught up on everyone now!

Glad you had such a nice weekend. Don't worry about those couple pounds. Put it behind you and move on. You'll be fine :) I love your new-found confidence and happiness. Good luck with your hubby. Hope it all works out for the best for YOU and your KIDS!

Well done on your rebirth! Everyone needs to do things on their own and learn to have fun without partners. Its called sanity! I am so proud of you to hear about your positive attitude. keep it up and becomes the one who wears the pants in the house. You have every right to make up the rules on how you will be treated and no.1 is to be respected. Keep having fun and looking good..hey..wheres the pics of your highlights???????

Girly, you take that power and confidence and hold on TIGHT! Don't ever let this goes... it's who you need to be... who you ARE! You will survive and you will conquer this, too. A couple lbs after a crazy weekend is nothing, you'll be down again before you know it! Keep on kickin' it up!

Sounds like you have your head on straight! I'm glad that your hubby is home now...and ready to talk...but more importantly I love that you said you are not going to be a pushover. I believe that everything happens for a reason, so maybe this had to happen to show you just how strong of a person you are! =) Glad you had a good weekend! Holy cow! 1600!! That had to have been quite a spectacular show! =)

CL-- I haven't been able to get my kids to take a picture of me yet. I have one on my cell phone that I took of myself today in a 'sexy black dress', but I can't figure out how to download (or upload??) it onto the computer, so I have to wait for one of my daughters to get home to show me-- maybe by tomorrow.....

Glad to hear you had an awesome weekend. Not to worry about the food intake and small gain. I think most of us were there over this past weekend. You'll be back to a loss in no time. Glad to hear hubby is ready to talk. Hopefully he is ready to WORK on things. You stay strong and keep up the great work!!

Hey there! So I had a thought come into my mind...weight gain is like hiccups, the more you let it get out of control and try not to do anything about it, the more it hurts, but if you take a big deep breath, hold it in for a few seconds and then exhale to just let it all go and really think about the situation...it kind of just disappears so you can keep moving forward. :) So just see this little bump in your journey of weight loss as a hiccup! Take that deep breath, let it all go and then keep moving forward! I am glad to hear that your hubby finally came to his senses. I agree that there are a lot of things to still be worked on and I can barely say I know you. I think that is only because any time there is tension in a relationship, everything that bothers both people comes flying out of the woodworks with a vengance. Just take it slow and keep an open mind, hopefully he will do the same. Take care of yourself! Everyone is here for you! Whether it be for venting or for weight loss encouragement! Good luck with everything and I truly hope everything continues to move in the right direction for you!

I'm so glad you could have a nice time out with your friends! That is so renewing and probably just what you needed. I'm glad too that you have gained confidence and will not be a pushover. Remember Dr. Phil's saying, "You teach people how to treat you." I really believe that is true. So be an advocate for yourself! I'm glad to hear he is home and I hope you will be able to work through all the hard stuff. We've all been happy to help you through this hard time and glad you are a part of FS!
