Hello to all my wonderful blogger friends!
You girls are just the best! Thanks for being so kind & not saying I'm a messed up cotton headed ninnymonger who has no direction in her dieting life .(Like Will Farrell said in the movie Elf) LOL!
I want to read each of your blogs and am sorry I haven't had a chance to yet but I will get there. Thanks to Dawn, Rosalie, Pattie, Kay, Katie, Beth and oh shoot I am missing one more person......oh forgive me, I just cant think of it at the moment but thank you all for your comments. :)
So I wanted to give you all an update on how things are going. I started 17DD on Friday March 1st and I am happy to report, so far so good! I have been following and am starting to find my groove with it & am liking it. as of this morning, I am down 3#. Yay!!! I am hoping to lose 10# in Cycle 1 which will end on March 17th. Most people lose between 10-15# in Cycle 1. I think if I lost 15#, I would seriously faint! My sister and I have been really struggling on WW and I talked with her on the phone on Sat and she also decided to do it with me so she is on Day 2 & was down 1# as of this morning. She and I got together on Saturday & did some prep work for the week. We made turkey chili (that might I add was fabulous!), we made protein poppers (lemon & chocolate) that are like little bite size cakes that are made with protein powder &They are really yummy and we also made the mock egg rolls for sandwiches. Shes not crazy about them but I actually like them alot. I love spending time with my sister and she is really one of my best friends. We have both come so far with our weight loss and I told her "we can do this...we can do anything for 17 days". Her birthday is March 23rd & she will be 50. She wants to be down 10# by her birthday as it will take her into a new decade of weight. She is so pretty & has a personality & a smile that is infectious.I pray that she hangs in there. I am going to continue to do my very best but need to add in that darned exercise component to get things moving but I am just so darned tired after work its the last thing I want to do. I need to start slow, maybe 5-10 mins at a time.
Well, thanks for listening. I will keep you all posted on my progress.
Hugs to you all!!

Great job Sherri! I am glad you have your sister to do it with you - that has got to feel so nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn!!! Did you change your blog??? Cant seem to find it anymore.
DeleteSherri, that is so funny that you quoted Elf!! I LOVE that movie. I don't think I could remember that line from memory though. I am so grateful for your comment on my blog. I know we would just hit it off so well if we lived near each other! I have an appt. tomorrow with my ortho guy. I have to get this taken care of because it's not getting any better. UGGHHHH!!!! I have no time for this!! SO happy that you found a plan and have already lost. I know we can both do this. Sending hugs and love to you from me!! XO
ReplyDeleteYay Pattie!!! Glad you have an appt for the knee. You wont regret it. I KNOW we would be the best of friends for sure. Its good to have you as one of my online friends....so grateful to have met so many wonderful people here.
DeleteLove & hugs back atcha girl!!! xoxo
You are ON FIRE!!! I am excited for you:) You are very blessed to have a relationship like that with your sister! I know you realize that, I'm just saying I'm a bit jealous!
ReplyDeleteKeep blogging because it will keep everything foremost in your mind! Exercising when you are tired is rough, just do like you said and start with 5 minutes, maybe walk in place during commercials? Do some planks like Jorge suggests. Anything, anytime, any amount will make you feel better and make those nasty lbs go away!!! Woot for you.
awwww...thanks kay! My motivation is high & I feel hopeful. Its a REALLY good feeling to have again! I AM very lucky to have 2 great sisters. My oldest sister and I are very close....much closer than my middle sister & she is very jealous of our relationship.
DeleteWell - great job girl!! I think you found your groove and it is so great that you have your sister to be there. Keep going and don't quit. Have a good one :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rosie!!! My sister is doing great too!!
DeleteYou lost 3 lbs already?!! That is so awesome! I would be thrilled if I could lose 3 lbs. in the next month, lol! I actually have the book that you are using. Maybe I should pull it out and check it over again. Your relationship with your sister sounds so wonderful. I only have brothers and as much as I love them, I always thought it would be nice to have a sister to really relate to. I'm happy you BOTH are doing so well right now! I'm sure you both are going to meet your goals!
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth! Yes, you should give it a try. It is working really well for me and my sister!
