Hey everyone!! Beautiful Sunday morning here! Not as warm as yesterday, but a beautiful day just the same.

I had a bad weigh in on Friday…up 3#’s, and it really got the best of me. I am pretty sure I was letting some “blues” enter the picture here anyways, and then the weight!!! UGH! Of course I knew before Friday morning what the weight was gonna be, as I weigh daily. So, what did I do yesterday??? Threw everything out the window, and ate BAD, BAD, BAD!!!!!!!!!:(  It’s stupid, and I know it. It scared me too. Made me think about the “old days”…the days before joining buddyslim-the days of eating, eating, and doing NOTHING! I felt shi*** yesterday. I woke up this morning, and thought about it..I can throw all of the work I have done out the window or I can charge ahead. I have decided to CHARGE ahead. I am the only one who can make this happen-it’s up to ME.

I looked at the livingstrong site today. It is pretty cool. I learned that I need around 1700 calories to loose 2# a week…that coupled with light activity. Interesting. I am gonna shoot for that for about two weeks, and see what happens. I know that I need to get the exercise in..no excuses! I hate to be all talk, and no walk -so to speak. I feel like that is what I do. Every week that is one of my goals-Exercise. For the last two weeks it hasnt happened. It’s like dont say it if you arent gonna do it!!!!!!! I always have good intentions, but somethings seems to always get in the way. I must get it done this week. No matter what kind of crazy hours I put in at work. It has to happen.

About the office guy I blogged about previously…..he left for lunch on Wed, and came back with all kinds of groceries to start his diet! He sure was irritable the rest of the week!!!! I felt for him. I am anxious to see how his weekend went. That being said-he is on and I have been off!! Cant let him beat me at this, now can I??!! hehe All the more reason to get with the program.

Thanks to all of you for the continued support….and of course thanks to my wonderful team THE WILDCATS!!!!! This journey has been so different from past attempts..and I owe it all to MY BUDDIES!!!!

Have a wonderful day everyone…and much continued success to all of us!

A funny update about the guy in my office. He is the one I blogged about that was going to start his diet today…and told me that he would prob loose 30# the first month. Well bless his heart!!!! He didn’t start today-because he didn’t have time to buy groceries! I was sooo bummed! Was so looking forward to having some added support at work. In due time, I suppose!  I also couldn’t help but identify with that excuse…ya know?? How many times in the past-I was always gonna start on Monday, and then some excuse kept me stalled. I am not gonna give him a hard time about it…just keep doing my thing. Not sure if he is on for tomorrow, or if another Monday must come before he begins….the saga continues.

 Hope everyone had a wonderful Monday!

Hello all of you wonderful buddyslimmers! I don’t blog much…do read lots of blogs, and try to comment as time allows. I gain so much inspiration, motivation, and encouragement from reading what others are going through. Not to mention, sometimes enjoy a good laugh too!! Thanks to all of you for that!

 I just wanted to share what has added some fuel to my fire! This guy I work with is preparing for his HS reunion in May…he has been talking about it for some time. Saying he is going to loose weight cause he wants to look GOOD for the occasion. Well, first off…this past week has been his BIG FEED time! He kept saying “I weigh 246, and want to get up to 250# when I start on Monday (tomorrow)!!! It has been a joke around the office. I think…why would you want to do that???! But, whatever. He then tells me….”Your gonna hate me, cause I will prob loose 30# the first month!”  At this point he drinks like a liter & 1/2 of regular soda daily. Not to mention the pizzas, and the fast food. He says as soon as he cuts all of this junk he thinks he will loose that amount of weight off the bat. He might???! First off, men do loose faster than women….he is a few years younger than me..think he is 38. ANYWAYS…..this has encouraged me to kick it in high gear!!! The last two weeks of Jan I had a few slips, and didnt get the exercise in that I really needed. So, along with my own quest for health & “added” beauty (lol)..I am letting his comment fuel my fire and motivation. It will also be nice to have someone else in the office on this journey. I will keep you all posted as to how this goes!!!!

 On another note….cant believe it is FEB!!! Already!? Wow! That being said…I encourage everyone to kick it in high gear for this short month. Spring is around the corner….soon enough I wont be able to hide in that big winter coat!!  Here is to all of us! This is our time….lets make it happen!!!

Hope you are all enjoying a beautiful Sunday, and looking forward to a SUCCESSFUL week! We can do it!

Love ya all!
