Also, it has been 8 days since I ordered the eliptical and still it is not here. I called the company they said it should be shipping out today. So that means probably another week. I feel like crap today. I know I get this way around that time of month (you girls know what I mean) but it seems extra tough today. I made the mistake of getting on the scale and it said I gained 1 pound. I know it is probably just water weight but still it didn't help matters. I just want to go and pig out on something.

I hate the week before. I get so tired and soooo hungry. I found that Pamprin works really well. And drink lots of water and avoid caffine. It does help but that week still isn't fair. LOL

I agree, I hate that week! I just down a lot more water and pep talk myself when I get on the scale. Go for a walk, it also helps me to work out when I am feeling bad and on the verge of pigging out.

Ok, I was feeling so bad I decided to book a special summer tip. We are going to Disney World the first monday that my son gets out of school for 7 days. Whoo Hoo! Well that is sure an incentive to lose the weight. We went last summer and walking around with all this extra wight was such a downer. Not to mention looking at the pictures afterwards. But this year will be different! I am sticking to my 1260 calories and doing my exercises!

Wow that is going to be so much fun! Just think how much more energy you will have to walk around (or wait in line!) Say hi to Mickey and Pluto for all of us!

Wow that sounds like fun. I wanna go. LOL Trips are a great incentive to lose weight and you will have to go shopping for clothes to wear on your trip so you get the fun of doing that too. LOL Keep up the good work.

Let us know all about your fun in the sun!

Well, I just found out the eliptical I ordered is now on backorder and won't ship out until the 20th. I feel like I am just hanging on waiting for this thing. With the pain in my knee I can't run or anything. I guess I don't have a choice I will have to wait.
