    Same here. I still have to be careful about my splurge choices because the side effects aren't worth it :/. Ice cream is my drug of choice this summer...like the homemade mint chocolate twist that the local place is serving up this week.

      Nice! Congrats!

        I want to cry I am so damn happy!

                Good for YOU!!! I know that feels so kick ass you just want to run down the street screaming MY PANTS FIT!!

                ETA: I joined 'expensive gym' today and I start next Monday. It was so pretty and clean I couldn't stop myself! They had everything I need. I have a friend that had WL surgery last fall. I was smaller than her when she started. Now she's tiny. It was so depressing to see that.

                • Had a couple months of backtracking with sporadic being good. But I think I'm hopefully back on track.

                  This week, I've started waking up early and doing podcast yoga outside on my own since I'm working crazy hours (12hrs a day Monday - Friday and 7hrs on Saturdays). I'm so much more motivated when I can do it outside.

                  Down to 170 (which I have been for about 3 months) -- hoping to rev up my workouts and make better eating choices and start losing again!

                  • I took a month off from a healthy diet. I managed to keep the exercise to 3 times a week - but that's significantly less than my normal 6 times a week. (I need a serious amount of exercise. I'm part border collie.) I've tried to start eating healthy again this week. So far, so good. I've done several things that I probably shouldn't eat - but hey - at least I'm aware that they are no no's this week.

                    The good news is I weighed myself yesterday and apparently my month off resulted in -1 pound. So much better news than I expected from my scale. Maybe I'm actually learning habits I can maintain life long.

                    Let's all jump back on the wagon together. It's so much easier with support. I have worked out 3x so far this week but skipped this morning. I may go later. So far, no cookies consumed today. It's the little things.....

                    • Ok, here we go again, trying to get in shape. Hiking Thursday, tennis Friday and Saturday, running Sunday and Monday, a long walk on Sunday too. Took two days off because of working late and monsoon-level rain. GORGEOUS weather today, so I need to run since DH probably won't get home early enough to play tennis. I keep wanting to join a yoga studio but I have a stupid f**ing plantar wart that I'm treating (thanks to yoga classes at my last gym...) so I need to wait til that's gone for everyone's sake. Doing pretty well with fitness since the move though, it really helps to have a giant park and tennis courts practically next door!

                        Just get yoga socks until it clears up!

                            You know, I have never tried those before. You promise I won't look like a weirdo?

                            2-mile run over lunch today.

                              • Yes -- there are always a few people in classes that have them. It's not weird. Rare - but it's something you see.
