2lb Loss Last Week - WOOT! 25lbs total loss in 5 weeks. =)
I have made a public challenge on the message boards that I will lose 10lbs this week - double digits. I don't know if I will make it there, but I am going to make every effort to do it, plus I am sure I will fare better than the 2-3lbs loss that I have seen the last two weeks. I told hubby that I needed to have sex every day this week to add to the cardio. He said he would be happy to be my workout partner. =)

In the Boot Camp group I ranked for points this week in our group. I think that a lot of people have been there a long time, are in a rut and just not seeing the success or progress they had anticipated and so they get down on themselves day after day living in the same behavior that kept us all fat for years before this. I am going to try some things to see if I can help turn morale around for a few people in there and increase our performance and numbers over the next week. I have to remember I came in during the middle of the boot camp - this group has been together a month before I got there, and sometimes newbie advice is not looked upon favorably. =)
I did some dog/house sitting for a friend this weekend. There were temptations ALL over their house. Things that I used to make it a point to binge on - bite sized brownies, bite sized candies, ice cream sandwiches.. oh yeah. So when I got there, I looked through all of the food options, and while assessing what they had I told myself that all of their food was covered in poison and mold. Visualizing mold or poison on food proved to be pretty powerful for me. I didn't partake on any of those items (although I considered it a few times) - and I brought my own food and stayed completely on plan. Yay me!
Some posts I have made to the boards:

On this day I wish all of the MOTHERS out there a Happy Mother's Day.
I also wish all of the people who may not be biological, but who MOTHER OTHER PEOPLE a Happy Mother's Day.
I WISH UPON EACH OF YOU that you take a moment each day to be a better MOTHER TO YOURSELF. If we were more caring, concerned, loving, affectionate, protective, supportive and encouraging of ourselves it WILL make each one of our journey's easier. =)
Hugs to each and every one of you. =)
