Soreness just begun…terrified of gaining all 72 lbs; Day 29
My upper back, shoulders, tri-ceps and bi-ceps as well as abs are so sore. That my friend, is what I’m looking for. Signs of a successful day! :) I used it as an excuse to get some extra tender loving care from my honey. Nothing better then a nice massage to warm up my muscles and ME! hehe 
This time of year is the scariest for weight watchers. There is just way too much temptation. Most people show love with food. Go to grandma’s and there’s food. The office people, wants to kill you with food. Our vendors wants to show appreciation, with food. Our friends buys boxes of See’s candies and give them to us with love. I think I’m going to put out a memo that says “CAN ONLY FEED FRUITS AND VEGATBLES!” AND “ONLY GIFTS ACCEPTED ARE FRUIT BOWLS, FRUIT GIFT CERTIFICATES AND FRUIT AND VEGATBLE PLATTERS” All else will be returned to gifter or will be re-gifted.
I knew that T-day was my test. If I stay strong then, then I will make it through the rest of the season with flying colors.
I’ll be honest! I’m terrified of falling off the wagon and gaining all 72 lbs back. Everyday it’s in the back of my head. If I dare leave my workout and eating routine, then the weight just comes on within days, months. I’ve done it before, gained 30 in 9 months. I know I love food, sometimes more then my honey….LMAO….and I am really afraid of my lack of control when it comes to gorging, eating, inhaling and basking in the bliss of a delicious meal.
Ok….crazy thoughts done for today.
Today I have some yoga and a date with the elliptical. That is, once I drag my butt out of bed and away from the comforts of my babe.
Day 29 - Success! Was hungry…thought about food…so I drank water instead. Whooo hoo water!
Laughing my ass off! You are too funny.
Great job yesterday. At the rate you are going I don’t think you will gain the weight back.
Second attempt!
I have to admit, I am a re-gifter. This year I am giving away all chocolate gifts. Thanks for the inspiration.
I like massages too. wink wink
Nancy, stay positive! Dont think about gaining weight, focus on losing more and more. Theres no need to worry in advance. Keep up the good work uve done and dont go with temptations! I know its hard… especially now. Itll be a tough period but well make it together!
I wonder if those feelings of fear will ever go away?? Maybe its better if they dont, cause it will keep the real fact of danger in the front of our minds and not hidden away on the denial island
You are doing amazing and it inspires me to continue to keep getting up and try harder. Thank you my friend
Much love girl!!
Can you send that memo out for me too? Why does everyone give boxes of candy? It’s so bad!!!
I have a slight fear but I know in my heart that I will never go back. I have too many people in my ring and too many reasons to stick with it. I bet you are the same. We are in this for the long haul. There are someday I wonder if I will be able to keep up with my routine. I just know that we are in the weight loss stage, when we are maintaining we won’t feel as much pressure I hope. Well get to yoga and get on that elliptical!!!
Nancy,
I actually think it is a good thing to always stay mindful of the weight issue. It’s when you get comfortable, and relaxed that things can go bad. I really think you have changed your life & mind, and I dont see this happening to you.
I totally agree with you about the gifts at Christmas…a box of chocolates, cookies, cakes…STOP THE MADNESS!! LOL! I know I am facing much temptation in the days to come. I will be strong, and I just know you will too!
Much Love~Renee
Renee - thank you hon! I never ever want to be comfortable with this process. It just gets dangerous. Love ya!
Girlfriend, I love your honesty!! Lmao!! But seriously, I hear you, this time of year is so scary for us!! We will need each other’s support and we can get thru this!
haha, love the only feed fruit and veggies idea! But I guess it is more common than we think. I mean, some people are lactose intolerant, they probably can’t have chocolate? And some are diabetic, so that needs to be considered. Probably the universal safe food is fruits and veggies!
I don’t think you will regain weight again. You gained before because you were injured and it was impossible to exercise. You love exercise, and you are dedicated and motivated, you will stick to it!
i hear ya. you can totally do it! and i think those signs are a great idea! a friend of mine who is an athlete and always skinny (probably too skinny) asked for yoga passes, personal training, and monthly fruit deliveries last year. she was so excited to get those things!
Aww girl, shoot..I think if a pound dared to show up that wasnt supposed to be there…you would have it running away-fearing for its life.
One thing about it…you know..first of the year..most people get on the bandwagon of getting healthy and all that…just think how lucky we are…to keep it going year round…we wont have those extra pounds and going..oh damn, what did i do? lol
I have absolute faith in ya girl…and you give us strength to stay strong. Love ya…Debbie
I think that’s everybody’s secret fear…. I wonder when I hit my goal weight what to do but, I guess we need not to dwell on that now but, what we need to do to keep losing… keep it up your looking great!!
Oh, I agree. My work gets so much candy and sweets it’s going to be a war zone for me. I agree with Briahnna. I’m already afraid that I’m going to gain back the weight I lost. Just keep strong, you’re doing amazing and helping so many people!
