Well, I don't have a tale from the SCALE today as I didn't weigh in ( I don't own one and haven't been to my parent's to weigh in). I do have a tale from the measuring tape though. I didn't eat sugar. I absolutely deprived myself of any refined sugars all week- except for yesterday, when I ate a cookie. I found yesterday hard to resist, but then clued in and looked at the calendar to see that my period is looming. It is crazy how those hormones affect me! Anyway, back to my boasting of how I stayed off sugar, even on my time away with my girlfriends at the homeschool conference. I mean, we went to Death By Chocolate for dessert, Purdy's (do you have these chocolate shops?- I did not indulge, and it wasn't that hard. I just had to tell myself that it wasn't worth it, as once I get started giving myself permission to treat myself, I just keep treating! I had tea instead. So, that brings me to my results: NONE. The inches are the same. DRAT! It has only strengthened my resolve though... I think that I replaced no sugar with too much bread, so now I am going to watch that a bit too. I figure something has got to change with those steps, as well as drinking water and exercising. I did wear a dress that seemed to fit a bit more smoothly around the waist, hips and thighs, but maybe it was my imagination- my husband complimented me several times while I was wearing it too.)
I would just like to say that I think there should be an award for people like me who deprive themselves with nothing to show for it!!!

Hang in there dear one.
I have to say that you did very well avoiding sugar this weekend. There was chocolate all around you and you didn't cave! You are an inspriation to all of us!
I was actually not trying to be a pain in the butt last weekend Kathleen- there is nothing worse when trying to enjoy something yummy than to have some martyer hanging out with you who is depriving themselves of treats! I hope I didn't ruin the experience for the rest of you!
You did a fantastic job. I think you got a little reward already? How about when your hubby complemented how you looked?
Girl if your husband is like mine--a complement will make you stand up and take notice. He noticed!
I am going to have a real struggle the week we are out of town.
My goal is to loose at least one pound while we are gone.With all the walking we will be doing that should be a good goal.
You keep going--do not give up.
Maybe you could allow yourself one treat a week.
That can not be "one" gallon of ice cream either. :)
Love ya girl!
Hang in there! No loss may also have something to do with your period coming soon. Next week will probably show better results.
You did GREAT! Sounds like many of us are on the same monthly cycle! Not gaining 5 pounds at that time is really an accomplishment. Refined breads can really be deadly. Whole grain breads can actually help you BURN fat.
Hey it didn't bug me at all. You may have noticed that when I passed MemeG that huge piece of english toffee I didn't ask if you wanted to partake. I didn't want to tempt you.
I hope you enjoyed the nut.
i think it's incredible that you didn't eat a death by chocolate dessert.. (that just sounds tempting)... that alone should get you an award... :o)
