Yes, I know it's Thursday. Just couldn't face it yesterday. So today I faced the music. Sad to report that I'm back where I started. Gained 2 this week, putting me back at 225. Feeling like a failure? Yes. Ready to quit? Yes. Gonna quit? HECK NO! I'm starting over. Have made it back to the gym this week which is good. Just gotta get back on the horse...
I have a friend online who is a wonderful inspiration to me! She has lost 47 lbs. Hope that's right Melisa...got that number off your blog. Anyway, she's done AMAZINGLY well and I'm so impressed and proud of her. On her blog, she wrote about a new motivator...having her husband be able to pick her up again! I LOVE THIS! I want Doug to be able to pick me up without hurting himself. And I want to feel good about sitting down on his lap/knee. Right now, I'm afraid it might result in a need for surgery!
Anyway, thank you dear friends for your constant support and encouragement. I will say that this is absolutely the worst time of the year to try to lose weight. But if I'm honest...there's NEVER a good time of year for it! Because no matter what, it involves sacrifice...whether it's the sacrifice of Thanksgiving stuffing, Christmas candy, July 4th hotdogs, etc...There's never an easy time. But, as my Mom says, it could be so much worse! I could have a health condition that I had no control over and no ability to change. So, I guess I need to be thankful that at this point, I do have the ability to change this. And I WILL!!!

I wouldn't have minded if you had exaggerated and rounded up. ;) kidding!
I really didn't even think about the fact that he hadn't picked me up in ages until he did it last week. It just made my heart soar. I had no idea I would have cared so much about such a small thing.
The thing I like about my bracelet rewards are that every time I wear them, it reminds me that I accomplished something. Even when I gain the weight back, I can remember the feeling of accomplishment and it gets me back on track. It helps to have rewards like that too.
I just posted about holiday dieting. :)
Love you, girl. You can do this!
Holly, you are exactly right - regardless of the holidays, this is a right now, every day thing! Kudos for jumping in NOW and not making an excuse.
Prayers for you!
This is a perfect time to start...if you face what feels like the biggest mountain, it will train you well for the "smaller" ones to come! You can do it!
I know you can do it, Holly! This is a life change that is bound to come with some hurdles! You can clear them!
Holly,
The fact that you don't Quit is HUGE - because you are not giving up! You will accomplish your goals. I've always heard that it takes 30 days of doing something different to change a behavior. But you can only do it one day at a time. I'm praying & cheering for you!
Love,
Judy
We love you Holly! And we also wanted to tell you that you are stunning as is, but wish you good luck on your endeavors!!!
Love you girl and are cheering for you no matter what!!
Just wondering how you are and hoping to hear more today. I have a reminder on my calendar at work to check in on you on Wednesday mornings and pray specifically for this journey you're on! I'm making myself weigh in on Wednesdays now too, so I'm with you! Love you!
