Well all i can do is try harder tomorrow.
Nite all

Jennifer your turtle block is so cute. That's a good idea.

I *think* the fabric was from The Rag Shop (now out of business) or JoAnns (years ago). I don't remember where I got it - I can look though. If I have enough after I cut out 100 turtles I'd be happy to give anyone some turtles.

Yesterday I went for physical therapy. As I walk up to the counter to sign in, the receptionist was eating a scrumptious looking dessert. Well....that got my mind to racing, thinking how I would love to have some kind of dessert. Thank goodness I couldn't leave for the next hr or I probably would have made a quick dash to the bakery. During my hour of PT, I got to thinking about how good I have done this week with my food choices and exercise. I do NOT want to set myself back a week. So I had an hr to talk myself out of eating something fattenting. When I left PT, I came straight home, where there is nothing fattening to eat. YEAH me!!!!
I wasn't going to weigh myself until tomorrow, with tomorrow being 1 wk of dieting, but decided after the close call of bakery goods yesterday, I should weigh myself to see the results of my doing so good. I am thrilled........I have lost 5.7 lbs. YEAH ME!!!!!!! I was at 257.1 this morning. My next goal is for 8 lbs, which will get me out of the 250's. I am now so psyched up into doing good. Go away bakery goods!!!!!! I will NEVER see 262.8 lbs on my scales again. NEVER!!!!!! Sandy

Someone else said the other day they have already lost 11 lbs. Even if I don't win FQ, I'm just thrilled to be part of this thread. It is so encouraging and motivating. I love it! It is wonderful to have someone share this journey with, instead of trying to do it on my own. No fun there. Hope eveyone has a healthy day. Sandy

Almost one week down and I'm doing very well. Sunday my daughter and I begin a new way of eating, something I've never tried before, so I hope to be truly successful this time. She can't win the FQs though because she doesn't quilt :)
