I found out literally just yesterday that I'm pregnant. So no weight loss for me! I am however going to try to limit my weight gain (within a healthy range, of course).

I should add that my DH says I can buy one jelly roll for every 10 lbs I lose! Hows that for incentive?

Every 10#? Can you renegotiate? lol
(I've never bought a jelly roll - how much are they?)

I feel my drugs kickin in - hope I don't say too many stupid things. Gonna walk in the morning. I think it sounds fun to pick a destination. Since I am training to walk a half marathon, I have a schedule to adhere to.
My weight has plateaued and I am not sleeping well at night again. I'm not in pain, well, not that kind of pain. I think stress is creeping in. TONS to do and I am freaking out a bit. Now my son has gotten me involved in Project Graduation. Today was not one of my better days, but I decided before school started that I was going to enjoy each & every day because this year will be over as fast as the last one!
And then we are moving. Story for another time.
Good night.

I drove to Birmingham last week just to go to Joann's.
You will be walking right past my house. Stop by for a glass of tea or a bottle of water. I know you'll be needing a potty break too.

Next step. Multiply by 2 x 116 and I get 232. Now the fun part, go to your map, find your location, and pick 232 (or your number) miles away, for me that is Birmingham, AL!
I am walking to Birmingham! Pick your location and let's start walking!
Clear as mud? Where are you walking???

HI all
Weighed in today, down just over a pound so happy for that. Ate at Panda Express for lunch did pretty good. Had a small sandwich for dinner with cottage cheese and pineapple.
I did my walk for 30 min and went 2 miles. Did it early so not to hot.
gaevren, congrats and hang with us so we can stay in touch with you.
I have been keeping Texas in my prayers and will continue. Bless all who are effected by the fires. We had a small fire that closed down the Interstate 15 here and the smoke was blowing right at us so I can't imagine how awful having that smoke and ash for days on end is
I like the idea of walking someplace so many miles away I'll have to find a fun destination. Time for bed, need to get up early to drive to the car dealer about 40 min away. That means that I won't have any time to quilt ( small tear down face)
Hugs to all
Gail
I am losing and in control ( I'm trying)
