NYNY Update - Joyce

Before I miss the entire week ... again .... last week's results for me were up 1
pound, 132.0. I am extremely surprised and pleased to see the scales only do the
normal (for me) 1 pound dance, considering my eating habits for the past 3 weeks
(or lack thereof). Without exagerating, I'd be willing to bet that I have done
lunches and dinners out at a minimum rate of 5 days each week. Add the pumpkin
cheesecake that my darling older daughter felt I just HAD to be the guinea pig for
(it was delicious by the way). Exercise also has been hard to come by during this
period, at least what I consider exercise. But on the days I do find the time, I
have stepped things up a notch - so hopefully that is what is keeping things
somewhat in check.

And all of a sudden dh decided he is going to do me in. He has been fantastic
throughout this entire process the past 18+ months. This last week he brought
home a bag of whoppers halloween candy, for ME. I said something and his reply
was, 'but I thought you liked them'. I asked if he was willing to eat them ...
noooooooooo, told him I wasn't either. They made the trek to his office the next
morning. 4 days over the past week he has asked if I would like a frosty from
Wendy's sigh. On Sunday we made a turkey for dinner. When I finally sat down
at the table, I found a huge hunk of skin placed on my plate. EXCUSE ME???? I
put it back on his and asked if he was purposely trying to kill me and all I've
accomplished. Guess I made my point, or at least I am hoping I did.

Am I the only person who can not access the NYNY challenge website? I have tried
for the past week with no success. I continually get a *cannot find server*
message.

Hi Joyce,

I do recall someone earlier in the week saying they couldn't access any Angelfire
pages, but other than that haven't heard of anyone not being able to access the site.

Have you tried emptying your cache and then trying to connect again?

Since you are still at/below goal, that sounds like successful
maintenance in spite of your eating out which clearly consisted of
some reasonable choices.

Now, why after all this time has you husband decided to be "good" to
you? Shall I ask: Has you mood perhaps driven him to relieve your
stress and his? (g) I do think that sometimes others (and we,
ourselves) do not realize that just because we lost weight does not
mean "the program is over" and that we can go back to eating just
anything. An occasional chunk on crisp turkey skin (drooling) would
not kill anyone (well, the turkey). But it cannot be a routine food
choice.

Whatever, you seem to have that aspect of things under control, too.

Keep it going ..........

The scale showing 1-lb up sounds more like a typical weight
fluctuation. With everything you described, you know your limits well
and are doing a great job of adhering to them. Here's hoping your DH
got the message that your way of eating is also your way of life.
