one step closer!!

Tonight I did it.  No - not that, he's not even home yet ;)

I made a phone call.  To the leader of the Saturday OA group.  Let me just say I'd rather give a speech on a topic I know nothing about to the city of Seattle standing stark naked  than make a phone call to someone that I've never met.  But I screwed up my courage and called him.  Found out which door to go into on Saturday and asked that if he saw someone wandering the parking lot to try and drag me in.  so now I've committed to y'all and to him.  And to myself. 

I'm going.  End. Of. Story. 

*phew*

Off to finish watching The Biggest Loser...the contestants are home and binging.  Interesting.  Shows they're human.  I was beginning to doubt it. 
There's a lesson in that. 

TTFN,
LauraLynne

Glad you got through that first step. Cheering you on! I loved the BL show last night. So different from other years when it seemed so cut throat.

Great job LauraLynne, you are worth it. I too, love Biggest Loser. The one thing that got me was the size of the returning contestants. Makes me think that all the pushing and support they got on the show may have made them too dependent. They did not have to find time to workout, it was all they did. Now, they are right back in the same situation as before they left. We, on the other hand, are learning and changing on our own,with a little help along the way. We have to make time, commit daily to the journey we are on. Maybe we actually have the advantage.? Just a thought.

Today starts no sugar

This feels harder than no candy and no chips. And it started by throwing the oreos in the GARBAGE. And not the trash at my house - no, these went into the trash at the bus stop. Bye bye. (I'm imagining some homeless dude chowing down on his amazing find...) Now I need to grocery shop and fill my house with fruits and veggies! TTFN, LauraLynne

Time to come clean - and start blogging again with NEWS!

I've been avoiding the blogging world - for a couple reasons.  My eating has been horrible.  Well, maybe not horrible but definately not brag-worthy or blog-worthy.  I've been embarassed at how much I've regressed back into old eating habits. The other reason is I've been keeping a secret but it's time to come clean.  I've been gaining weight - only a little - and with my doctor's full permission.  As of today, I'm 16weeks 4 days pregnant, and this one's here to stay!  I'm excited.  And nervous. And sick as a dog with morning sickness.  I've used all of the above as an excuse to jump off the wagon (and load it with junk food to drag around with me all day).  I've had chips and candy and sugar - and not in small quantities.  I now weight 205.  Up from 190.  But holding steady and fully aware of the changes I need to make - again. Mostly my problem is that I have morning sickness 24 hours a day.  It's like really bad mot...

Pride - and why I'm grinning like a fool

So - first of all - today I got dressed and came to work.   Just another Monday.  Nothing usual there.  Until a co-worker commented on how it's time for me to go shopping.  So I head into the bathroom and look into the full length mirror.  Sure enough, I look like the incredible shrinking woman.  My pants and sweater are too big.  I'm not complaining - this is indeed bragging.  It's time to donate some of my stuff.  I'm a little scared to.  What if...well, I'm sure you all know the paragraph that comes after that.  So tonight I will weed through the clothes and donate the too big stuff. I will  NOT go back.  This journey is about moving forward. And on the pride note - several people at work know I'm losing weight, most of them know I'm running and participating in races.  A few of them know I've done races in the past (triathalons).  There's one guy that stopped me in the kitchen awhile back and we we...
