It's Over!

Yipee!! Halloween is OVER! I made it without any candy!! Hardest day of my life as I am a candy lover!

Goals met today....Hope ya'll did well.

Scary day tomorrow.

I have put off buying Halloween candy so I would not eat it all but guess I will have to buy some tomorrow. Last year we had about 4 trick or treaters so I won't be buying much. I will have to buy something I don't like. Hope all of you keep on doing so well. You are all inspirational.

Goals Met??

Yes!

Lovely

Heather, yesterday was lovely and you were a beautiful bride. Thanks for including me. Lisa, I am glad you are finding out what to do to help your daughter get better, stressful not knowing what is going on. Kim you will be right back at it and Ilene I know you are doing well. I had a good couple of days. Lovely weather also.

Happy Day for Heather!!!

The big day arrived--Heather, you looked beautiful and happy. Thanks for letting us be a part of your celebration!

I'm sorry to report that I did not meet my goals today. My problem is once I ate something not on my plan, I didn't stop. After the reception, I went home and ate a few things I shouldn't have, then I went to another gathering and had some Great Harvest pumpkin bread. I did learn that most things look better than they actually taste (not the GH pumpkin bread though!). Well, I considered restarting on Tuesday because of Halloween and the weekend, but I've rethought it and I'm going to get back on track tomorrow. It's funny because I feel like I've gained back the 9 lbs. I've lost this month, but I know that's not possible (at least I hope!).

Anyway, congratulations again Heather!! Shawn is an extremely lucky guy.
To the rest of us . . . let's continue on!

TOMORROW'S THE BIG DAY!!!!

Wow Heather! It's here!! I'm so happy for you.

I've met my goals the past couple of days... minus the pouting :0)

I'm excited for tomorrow...

Tuesday

I met my goals.

Cursed Thai Food!!!

Went to Thai food for lunch today with my brother for his birthday.

I met my goals, but did not enjoy lunch AT ALL...I actually left with a terribly bad attitude because I didn't get what I really wanted!!! It was so hard to sit there with egg rolls & fried calamari right under my nose! I felt pouty all afternoon! Hard day...

But, in he-insight I'm happy about my choice and feel like I conquered a major temptation for me, at least for today...happy to go to bed now so I can stop pouting about it! I'm such a baby...

HEATHER!!!! I'll see you tomorrow for wedding nails :0) I'm SO excited!

Oops

I posted today's post on yesterdays blog so ditto to what I said only the junk is now gone and tomorrow is weigh in day and start over AGAIN day.

AWESOME Shower!!

Such a fun shower today Heather...good food & friends are the best combination!

I met my goals today!

OOps

House full of company and feeding the 5000 for a few days makes it hard to stick to goals (excuses, excuses). Hope you are doing better than I am.

Thursday

I met my goals today.

Wednesday!

Hey all...hope it's all good!

I met my goals.

I had a great experience at the temple tonight doing initiatory work...I'm so thankful for a healthy body! I really hope to keep taking better care of it.

Thanks again for your friendships and motivation! WOP!! (Women Of Power)

Hope to see you all at Relief Society tomorrow night! 5pm!!

Tuesday

Good to hear from everyone! (almost--Ilene, I know you're out there!)

I met my goals today. It's been easy so far--don't know why. October is always a good month for me weightwise. It was last October that I hit my all-time low for about the last 20 years. I stayed at that weight for 2 whole days and haven't seen it since! I've been going up and down within a 15 lb range ever since. Well, I'm 1 lb above that weight. I'm working on gearing myself mentally to get below that weight and then to keep on going. I cannot let things like Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Heather's bridal shower (yes, mini Cocoa Bean cupcakes are being served) get in the way!

weigh day

I lost another LB... Happy day!! I met my goals. It's officially getting down in the single digits until my marriage to one of the sweetest men on earth!! Ahhhhhh!!!!!!

Monday

Well, here it is, 10 o'clock at night and I'm the first to post! Luckily I have good news. I'm still meeting my goals, both nutrition and exercise. I feel good and am just hoping I can remember how much better it feels to eat right all of the time not just most of the time. I'm getting close to that new decade (weight, not age). I'll let you know when I get there.

Heather, you're doing so great. I'm sure you'll hit 100 next week. I saw Lisa today. Wow, I can really tell you've lost weight. I hope Kelsea is feeling much better. How's the playhouse coming Ilene? And Cherie, I'm trusting you still have enough cinnamon rolls for your visiting teaching ladies.

I'm looking forward to more hiking next year too--also bike riding and running.

Have a great day tomorrow!

Wierd weather Sunday

Hey. Loved the posts from yesterday. Way to go ladies sticking to your goals so well. I look forward to seeing your playhouse Ilene. You are so clever and talented and can do anything. Only 11 days Heather. You look fabulous, can't wait to see you then. It will be nice to have you back Kim. Lisa where are you? I am still struggling with nutrition, felt the need for comfort food today so made cinnamon rolls (I have not made them for years). I would offer you some but that would make me a bad friend. I plan to eat only one and give the rest away when I go V Teaching on Tuesday. Wish me luck. Keep up the good work.

Double days...

I'll post for both Friday and Saturday.
Friday I met my goals. I had to go to Boise to pick up a newborn. I ate at Cheesecake factory. They have lowcarb cheesecake. Divine!! It all worked into my carb count.
Saturday I met my goals. I got up and went running in Boise. 3 miles and it was beautiful warm fall morning.
Cherie- you have been on my mind a lot. Can I do anything for you?
Happy Sunday Everyone!!!!

Two weeks.....

And I'll be married!! I met my goals.

Keep the sunshine coming

Had a better day today. I decided to be like Heather and weigh every Monday so hope to have it together again by then. Hope your weigh in went well Lisa. Hope the rest of you did well too. I went on a 10 mile bike ride with my daughter and five 11-year old scouts that she is the leader of. Great fun with 1 flat tire, 2 chains off, one sick boy to run home and another too tired one. Forgot the fun days of scouting. Keep the sunshine coming.

Tuesday

It was fun to see everyone post yesterday! And we're all doing so well. What a team!

I met my goals today--hope you did too.

Rainy Monday

It was so exciting tonight to get on the blog and see that everyone posted yesterday. Yahoo!

Ilene-great to have you back. Do you know why your posts wouldn't come through before? I'm not surprised to hear you're at 100%. I knew you could do it!

Lisa, you're funny. Thanks for the compliment though. I'm glad to hear you're doing well too.

Cherie--you look great already. I'm sure you'll be able to maintain your goal. Thanks for sticking with the rest of us. We'll get there one of these days!

Today's Heather's birthday. Happy Birthday Heather!!!!

I read a lot about Atkins the other night, and decided that if you do it the way they say, it's actually pretty healthy. So, yes, I'm joining Heather on the Atkins bandwagon. This is just my third day, and I'm amazed at how much better I feel both physically and mentally already. I haven't forgotten the No S diet. I've incorporated a few of the ideas with what I'm doing now--like no seconds. I really wasn't paying attention to how often I refilled my plate "just a little."

I hope we all continue to be just as successful as we have been. It would be fun to split the money five ways at the end of the month!

super sunday

Good work ladies. A commitment, is a commitment. I blew it a bit but thanks to exercise and fasting I am probably OK. Keep up the good work.

Saturday

It sounds like we're all inspired by not only Heather but also her upcoming wedding! Ilene has been doing well also--just can't get her computer to post for some reason.

I met my goals today and I wasn't even counting it as an S day!

Friday and miracles

I had a family date night of watching 17 miracles and it was great!! It's so fun to see my children learn and develop testimonies!
I met my goals today! My boss bought everyone cinnamon rolls today. It was fun to not even think about my answer on if I wanted one. It was even more fun to honestly not to have cared about my answer either!

Merry Christmas

Can you believe all the snow? Amazing. I will be gone until Sunday so I will post then about the weekend. Good luck.

Day 1

Day one of our commitment. Had to do the treadmill today for the first time in about 5 months, sad. I would much rather be outside. Too busy to eat today so I am good. Hope you are too. I totaled the amount of weight that Kim, Heather and I admitted to losing yesterday. We have lost 147 pounds since the beginning (mostly Heather). Go HLC.

I Commit!!

I SO LOVE HAVING THE HLC IN MY LIFE!!! Thanks for the motivation tonight ladies! I am committed...we can do it for the next 3 weeks and beyond!

I just found out tonight that my 25 yr class reunion is this summer, so with the shopping in March and that in June I'm committed to keep going.

I appreciate all your support and help...really...more than you know...

Hey

I did well today with exercise and nutrition. Hope you did too. Ilene, we have missed you. Hard to stay on task when you are off playing. New start tomorrow. Is there still a meeting tomorrow at 5:30 at your house? Heather hope the weigh in was good. Love the beautiful wedding announcement. You looked great today even though you were sick. Keep up the good work Kim and Lisa.

Sunny Sunday

Love the fabulous weekend weather. New month. So far so good for me. Looking forward to the upcoming meeting.

5K and SLC

Kim and I ran in the Race for Cure 5K this morning!! I am quite pleased with our time! I am in SLC gearing up for confrence in the morning. I met my goals today.
Have a blessed Sunday my friends!
