Ranting
I made homemade chocolate chip cookies tonite. They are 2 points a piece but I had enough points left to enjoy 4 of them. I haven’t made them in a long time. I will eat three good meals tomorrow and fit the cookies into my leftover points. This is why I like ww. I can eat what i want and it helps with my portion control.
The weather is supposed to be better tomorrow so hopefully I’ll get a walk in. I don’t have anywhere to go tomorrow and walking will help me strengthen my foot plus the exercise. I’m getting nervous that I won’t be able to handle work. I know I’m not going back for at least two weeks. I didn’t hurt all day. I had therapy tonite, then went to the grocery store, and then made cookies. By the time, I was making cookies my foot really hurt. I also think it had something to do with the rain. It seems when it’s raining my foot aches more. I just am concerned that when i go back to work that it’ll continue to hurt. I need to go back because of bills but am afraid of the pain. Oh well, I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.
I want to thank everyone for all of their comments on my blogs. You all mean so much to me. It makes my journey easier. Support is crucial to losing weight. I”ve tried doing it alone and can’t do it. My husband was real leary of me doing ww. He has seen me try and fail so many times before that he gave up hope of me succeeding. However, he has finally seen me losing the weight on my new plan and has started having faith in me again. My kid has never lost hope. My sister in law is in it with me. My mother in law is behind me 100% and so is my step mom. I’ve failed numerous times but this time I’m doing it and succeeding. I am on my 7th week of my plan. I’ve never lasted this long. I’ve set realistic goals. I’m also prepared for the weeks that I gain or maintain. I do my best from day to day and don’t let anything keep me from my goal. I’m learning to handle cravings and am making myself drink the water. I am taking baby steps. I can’t wait to be able to exercise because I have a feeling that I’ll be kicking butt then even more then I am now. I’m learning to take care of myself. It’s going to be hard when January comes, I’ll have work, school, and family to deal with. I’m in classes now but they are simple. I start nursing school next semester and am going to be stressed. I like to eat when I’m stressed. I will stick to my guns though. I want my spa trip to Indy with Stephanie. In order to do it, I have to lose 50 pounds. I’ve got 37 pounds more to go. I will lose that 37 pounds and will have our trip.
Well, i’m going to quit ranting now. Again thank you all for your support!! I love you all!!!
Way to go with staying the distance!! It will be hard to stay focused when everything gets really moving with work, school, etc, but you *can* do this!
It sounds like you’re doing great with your foot, too!!
Congratulations girl. I am so impressed with your commitment and desire to lose weight. You really inspired me
WOW… that IS a nice little incentive hey? Way to go ladies! Shelley you have a very realistic attitude and at this time I love that you are being reasonable and planning for the times when you might maintain. You are doing so well. Keep up the hard work.
I too made cookies last week and I was good, but then there were 3 left and they got the better of me Saturday. Can I have your recipe? They sound good. Two points per cookie is better then 4… dear me!
Have a great day. Hope your foot is feeling better. *hugs*
Good job! And good control on the cookies! I want that recipe, too! Have a great day!

Thanks for all your great comments on my blogs. It really helps to have someone who understands. You are doing great, and will continue to do great with the attitude that you have. Thanks for being you!
I love your attitude Shelley! You definitely rock! Know what I think is really really cool? You say you have never made it the distance like you are this time. From your attitude this time (since I didn’t know you before this time) I would never believe you were anything but completely dedicated. I can’t compare it to your previous attempts, but what I can do is tell you that I see a strong and determined person THIS time. Seven weeks is really great. You are on the path to serious success. Hope you have your party dress picked out for when you go on that trip!!
