WW Meeting

Actually, snow shoveling can be very dangerous.. lots and lots of heart
attacks, back injuries, hip injuries and then some..

Go at it slowly, switch side regularly, and use a small shovel (less heavy,
besides you shovel longer!)

Use the snow to your advantage..this week I have been chipping and
chopping
like crazy..I think Wednesday my output far exceeded my input caloric
wise.....
I look at shoveling as free exercise- if you can handle it..I am
overweight
too so I nothing to lose but fat over here ..of course watch your back !!

I'm bummed. Today I will miss my first meeting in 8 wks. I have never
done
anything for 8 wks! And even though my progress is slow ... it's
progress.
There is about 3 1/2 feet of snow on the

My best friend was always effortlessly svelte until she hit about 40-ish,
and she put on about 30 pounds in three years. Her DH went to Iraq a few
days ago (but he's been gone training since December), and she just decided
to get off her butt and do something about the weight, to have something
else to focus on, I think, as much as because she needs to. She's lost 16
pounds (in about three months) but is moaning because it's not coming off
faster. For folks like me who've *always* had to watch it, I'm mystified.
I'd be thrilled to see 16 pounds gone, I think. Progress! :-) I keep telling
her that if it comes off faster, it won't stay off, so this is just right,
IIRC.

Exactly Kim-- good analogy....

When I think of 40 pounds I think of when I am carrying my 5yo up the
steps
when he falls asleep on the sofa..it is excruciating! It is a lot of
weight
to haul esp when tired....
I **** and moan to myself ...of course!
....
Then I think-- if I LOST that 40 lbs I'd be carrying just my own weight
total up the steps and it wouldn't be as bad..of course there is more
than
that on me I need to lose but it adds interesting perspective...

Hey, the next time you think it's "only" 10 pounds, heft 10 pounds of
potatoes the next time you're at the store. :-) Congrats!

YEA! I was able to go. I had a 1.4 pound lost this past week. So
there
was good news.
The people around me are not being as supportive as I would like them
to,
however I know that this is up to me and *I* can drop weight, even if
it's
a slow. 10.2 pounds so far.
Thanks for all of the kind words.

Yes, this post does relate to both the clutter NG and ASDW. The
clutter
in my garage makes it imposable to park in there. If I could have
parked
in my garage my van would have started in this cold weather. So, not
only am I not able to go to a WW meeting ... we are also trapped in
the
house.
This sucks and it is 100% my fault.

and remind her of 2 things... skin takes longer to snap back after 40 so the
slower she loses the less sag she will have, most studies say it takes twice
as long to lose as you had the first pound you were overweight if you want
to keep it off, Lee
