Sherry's weightloss journey

it is and we all know what that means time for Sherry to weigh in and see what the scale is giving her this week I have to admit it was very nice to me ... I am happy to report that I have a

I am very happy about that I am only 8.7 lbs from my 5% goal for May and I am only going to have to re lose another 23.2 lbs from the gain I sustained while trying to recover from the car accident so all in all a great start to getting back on plan...

I am still following my goals that I have listed in my side bar , so I think that this plan works for me and it has showed me great success in the past . The loss this week was probably mostly fluid but I will take it . That is 5.2 lbs of weight I don't have to carry around whether it is fluid or not .. weight is weight and if you are carrying fluid or fat it is still hard on your body so celebrate a loss no matter how big or small.. it is a little closer to your goal .

 is my free day I will be eating out for lunch today probably something spicy I have been craving it . and I will getting a manicure .....

it is a rainy day here today and usually that makes me all depressed I am what my grandfather Sie(who was a Pentecost preacher ) would say a fair weather person. I am my happiest when the sun is shining and the temperature is 70 degrees. unfortunately we can't spend our time waiting for the right time or the perfect weather , we have to get up and just deal ..

  I of all people know how easy it is to use life as a excuse for not taking care of myself. I battle the urges everyday to say the hell with it and not care , but we can't do that we have to fight , so if you have a bad weigh in today don't let it get you down, if you feel ill don't worry , you will get better and we will keep fighting the emotional,and mental battle of this weight loss war we are in this together .

 I have a great group of friends on my diet group and we are like sisters these girls can just sense when something is wrong with me and one or more of them will be on the phone saying hey girl what is up , and whether I am ready to talk or not they let me know I am not alone and that they have been there and are going thru it too . so ask for help if you think you are alone and just can't get thru the next hurdle alone send me a email or join a group Spark people has wonderful support groups the link is on my side bar and I assure you it is all free...

 to Madison for the beautiful get well cards she sent me that my hubby had riding on his dash for over 3 weeks lol gotta love the man... and for linda pooh for my beautiful roses they are getting bigger and stronger every day , and for Ms dana who just sent me all the new betty boop tags I am using now ... She has found some that I didn't have and I thought that was nearly impossible .. and I want to Thank you my readers ...

Have a great day and remember we can do this

Hugs

  Congrats to you on your loss...well done!!!  I am a fair weather person too, I hate rainy days and find I am very down when the sun isn't shining.  Kind of unrealistic isn't it!  Keep up the good work!
