NYNY update - Joyce
 

I'm in the groove with the rest of the NYNY maintenance group ... down 1 pound
this week ... 130. Once again the actual weighin Friday morning was lower, and
much as I would love to post anything in that 120 decade ... I'm averaging, and
average tells me 130. I'm happy, happy, happy.

Evidentally eating more does help, as long as *more* is within reason. A few
weeks prior I think I was existing on next to nothing, watching things just a bit
too carefully as well as falling back into the trap of not drinking enough water.
Then again, maybe the loss was extra muscle water retention? This week I only
managed to squeeze in 2 days of exercise. My own fault, no excuses. I had one or
two busy days, then found myself fallen into some sort of a funk - just couldn't
drag myself to do much of anything other than whine about everything. Today I
took a step into the right direction. Instead of just sitting here, I hauled my
butt to the basement and walked for 45 minutes - right back into the old routine.
If only I could remind myself how much of a mood lifter the exercise is! I have
felt great the rest of today.

Great weight :). Oh and the exercise mood? Someone on the WW site was
asking if you "had" to exercise to lose? I am like, WHY would anyone not
WANT to exercise? I totally love the feeling after...

Very good on the loss. And I know what you mean about the exercise. I
feel so much better when that's part of my routine.

Was that line of exercise thinking with you when you first started ww? I made it
through almost to the end before I finally got myself going on a routine - just
couldn't get myself going. I still lost the weight, might have been slower but it
still came off. Thinking is a bit different now. Many days I don't feel like
getting going, but I somehow find a way to talk myself into it (today was one of
those days). I always feel good after the fact. I need to get my head turned
around... have those good feelings working for me first thing in the morning. g

Thanks Elaine! I'm feeling strong and still highly motivated. Hopefully, these
feelings will hold me steady throughout the holidays.

Hey, have you made a mistake in your sig? I worry because of your past health
problems and recall you being barely out of Onederland a few weeks ago.
