While it's true that the scale and I have had a relationship for years, it has been a love/hate thing. However, after another nice visit this morning we have done more to mend the errors of our, um, my ways.

We are heading to my son's first high school football scrimmage. I can't believe he is going to be 15 in a few months. Before long he will be gone.

That's just 4 years from now. Another blogger I read has taken over three years to get rid of 100 pounds. I hope it doesn't take me that long but I am going to be living those years anyway. So getting to the point...I will be healthy before my oldest son graduates. Once he told me that we were like the beads on my bracelet. He and his dad were the skinny ones and I was the fat one. I don't want to be the fat bead anymore.

The scale loved me today. It rewarded me with a good number. It realized how hard I have worked this week. We have a good strong relationship today. I think I will continue to work on it.

Mobile posting-does it work?

So far so good. I haven't had any of the carb cravings that I did with the first week of crackin the code. This plan takes you down for a few days and then lets you come back up before going down again. It seems easy enough. I really like another blog I read that said something to the effect that it may take many months to get back to where I need to be but I will have to be present in those months anyway. Wouldn't it be better to live them each day then to die a little more each day? I want to be able to say this time tomorrow that I did something good for myself, that I made good choices in the last 24 hours.

Today was a good day. I got my food right. I got a treat tonight according to the plan. I got my walk in. I blogged. I recorded my food. I drank my water. I will go to bed before midnight.

I will do this.

Well, I am back on the "code" but I am doing conquer instead of crackin'. It is easier to begin with because you don't have the carb deplete to go through. However my DS says that's when you get rid of the weight!

I haven't done very well this summer. I actually have gone in the wrong direction for most of it. Can't continue down this road any longer because before long I will be too far to come back.

I also started my marathon training again. Granted, it's going to be awhile to build my base back but I can do it by taking one step at a time.

This won't be easy but every day I have a choice. It's up to me to make the right one.

It's my week to babysit so we came down early. Got in Friday and we leave next weekend sometime. We didn't do much yesterday and did a little shopping today. I was able to find tj some shoes he wanted and some jeans.
Kallie got hair cut to donate for a chemo patient. She got a pink extension for a reward and also got to go to build a bear.
Tonight everyone is hanging out playing the wii. I am hoping for some Firehouse wings but haven't heard what the jury has to say about that.

This could take a while but I finally borrowed my son's iPod, downloaded blogpress and will see if I can be better about posting updates. Don't hold me to it cause nothing else has worked! Here's hoping!
