Down- 3 weeks done (Jennifer)

I am down 1.5 this week so that is pretty good I guess. It is a total loss of 14.5 for me so far. Would I have liked 2? Yes but all things considered I think 1.5 is good. I am thinking next week will be better. I am still feeling like I am taking in way more water than is coming out. I dont know if it just because it is that "time" for me or if something isnt right. I will run it by my health coach tonight. She usually calls on weigh day. Also, I am going to order some more food. So far my favorite things are the non fruit shakes, peanut butter, mint, and oatmeal raisin bars, and also the apple cinn oatmeal isnt bad. I am also a big fan of the puffs and the pudding that I can make into ice cream. But I am going to try maybe something new this time when I order. Not sure what yet. The brownie is good but not big enough for me to mentally allow it to be a meal. Tonight for my lean and green I am going to have a burger I think. Well 2 of the walmart kind and some broccoli. Or maybe cucumber instead. I am also going to make some time for me to take a walk today. And maybe if the Black Eyed Peas motivate me correctly I may even jog for a bit (a very small bit of course). Yes...this week I am going to experiment with exercise and see what 5 days of exercise gets me next week on the scale. So...this is my challenge to you as well. Find time for 15-30 minutes of exercise 5 days this week. Even if it is just a walk and see how this results next week on the scale... I think a challenge like this is something that we all need to experiment with. What do you say? Are you in?
Today's "reason of the day to lose weight"
*to be able to shop in a regular store and not have worry if the sizes go high enough for me to fit into...

Well good for you. 1.5 pounds is still 1.5 pounds lighter than last week. And as you said, I'm sure because it's that "time" it has something to do with it.

One more thing...have you ever thought and I mean really thought about writing a book and getting it published? There are publishers out there that will publish books from individuals and that don't cost a million bucks. The way you write and the words you use are so great. You are and would be an inspiration to someone who is doing what you are doing. I'd rather read a book like that from someone that's "been there, done that." It helps to know there are others out there that are in the same situation and know what you are going through...how hard it is.....

I never thought of it Karen. I guess I just dont see my writing as anything special. Thanks for the compliment. I just write what comes to mind. I have always liked writing.
