Anyone else having just a really bad week?  No motivation... just none.  I feel too controlled, too structured....I am the champion of rebelling and I just want to break every rule...Grrrrrr...Guess that goes to show that I have control issues and evidentally food plays into that BIG time.  A psychiatrist would have a WONDERFUL time with me...*L*

And here's what I've been taking care of this weekend to take up my time....

 

A little different "before and now" pictures if you will....

FOOD = ENERGY....FOOD = ENERGY

Well, if "slow and steady wins the race", then I guess we are doing well.  And as long as the metal measuring goes down, I count it as a good week!  And we hit several mini-goals this week. Jusin hit the 50 lb mark!  Shonda hit 45 lbs!  And I'm out of the 290's!! This week just seemed tough for me.  I struggled all week, just with low motivation.  But hey, it's the beginning of a new week, a new chance, and a new attitude!

Week 18

While checking on friends this weekend, we saw a blog about non-scale victories, and it really inspired us!  Our weight-loss has slowed this week, and we needed a reminder that it isn't always about what the scales tell us.  (even though the scales never lie..oh wait, that's another show....*L*) 

SO I'll share my latest non-scale victory.  I got up at 5:15 AM this morning and took a brisk walk for 15 minutes.  Almost a jog.  My knee seems to be much better and I think I'm back on the road to health.  YEAH!!!  I missed my morning workouts!  (geez, was it me who said that????*L*)

SO, yeah me, and yeah to all of you who accomplish more than you were able too, 3 1/2 months ago!!!  We've come so far!!!  

A setback?? I don't think so...So this week we've all slowed down.  I guess that isn't a bad thing, as long as we're not going up!  And I'm sure that the slower weeks will happen more often, as we get smaller.  So the real challenge will be hanging in there when we dont' see results as often, or even if we have setbacks.  I think it will prove how serious we are.  And besides that we DID hit our halfway point!  Barely, but we have now lost 1/2 of one of us!!!!!!  WHOOHOOO!!  So I'm just going to celebrate that!!!  So here is our chart...and I can't get the kids together long enough to take comparison pictures, so I'll just share some "normal" pictures.
