Well, Dearies, my first gain of Operation GO. 

Here's the crazy part.

I'm actually glad it happened.

There's no other way to say it, but I just didn't pay attention this week. I let last week's number go right to my head and I decided to self-sabotage by not sticking to the plan. I had fast food and I ate my body weight in Chinese food from the casino buffet last night, as well as scarfed down candy and chips and other crap with impunity.

So I'm disappointed, but also kind of glad that I got it out of my system without too much damage. A .7 pound weight gain is utterly fantastic considering the circumstances, and I'm glad that the lesson hasn't completely derailed me.

I'm home from a relatively rough treatment and have my Starbucks next to me in the HappyChair. In exactly three minutes I will shake this off, wash my face, and move on with my night. Three minutes of self-flagellation.. After that, it's back to sitting up in the buggy and Getting. It. Done.

Mary Poppins and I are going to play if it's the last thing I do. I tried so hard to stitch in the d-chair but was just completely knocked out and woke up to my tech prying the needle out of my hand. Fortunately, she is a stitcher, so when she saw me go out her first worry was protecting my stitching! She parked the needle on my needleminder, carefully gathered up my threads and such, and stowed them back in the project bag tor me. Such an angel in more ways than one!

I'm humbled and a little peeved, but totally determined! Happy Friday! Hope your weekend is wonderfully and perfectly swell! Come tell me all about it!

  3. In light of your intake, .7 ain't so bad and you have a week
    to "catch up" on the progress chart. Put it aside, renew your commitment and take pride in what your determination has accomplished thus far. Relax and have an enjoyable weekend, Coni dear.

  4. We put our darling Shih Tzu girl, "Cookie" on a month long diet as preparation for a leg surgery. Here how it went: Cookie’s “pre-surgical” prep ... before diet weigh-in, 18.6 lbs. Today’s weigh-in after one month of STRICT diet, 19.1. πŸΆπŸ™„ She had the surgery, "ready or not" and is healing (and eating) well. Ha!

  5. Oh I hope your self flagellation consists of silk threads! It's not the end of the world. I fell by the wayside on Thursday with Swiss chocolate. But luckily the weight remained the same. I think having the odd session is fine as long as it doesn't become the norm. Husband coming home today - determined not to let the same old routine take over. Especially so as I've learnt that my brother has to have a stent - hubby already has one - and they weigh 50lb less than me! I'm prime target for heart issues (or worse - the dreaded C!) so I need to shift this weight! Hang in there and ignore Mary Poppins spoonful of sugar! But with every job that must be done there is an element of fun! Snap your fingers Coni! LOL xx
