HFH--Fat ticker Friday near disaster!

Yes, you read right......DISASTER! With a capital D! UGH! I almost gained weight this week! How can this possibly be? I have exercised more than any other week, drank more water, ate more veggies, and thought I had a fabulous week! All for....are you ready for this?.....a measly .8 lb loss. Sheesh! That was the first time I stepped on the scale. I have a digi scale, and it stores my weight. Well, I forgot to store it, so I thought I would get back on and store it. I weighed more the next time and could never get the scale to go back to that weight. So, cheating??? I don't think so (at least that is what I'm telling myself). I figure if I didn't have the brilliant storing idea, I never would have seen those other weights right? Note to self: Store it the first time! So what's a girl to do? Keep on plugging on, that's what! Discouraging, yes! Not a deal breaker though. Who's with me?
Goals for next week:

Continue 4 bottles water/day
up intake to 3 veggies/fruits/day
5 hours of exercise (which I haven't quite made yet)
Add in my ab workout
As soon as something goes in my mouth, it goes on the food journal (i.e. the one sour candy, the 2 mints--they add up!)
Enjoy the journey and don't let the scale discourage me :)
Does it look like a lot? Maybe. I've been doing well, so I thought a few additions this week would be ok.

Onto the question of the week...It is a picture journal, so I will make it mostly wordless.


1. Someone or something that inspires you.




























His determination and stick to it attitude is amazing. The depth of her thoughts and how she grasps information, especially about the Lord, is just incredible.

2. Something that you love to do.


These are my girls! Our bi-annual scrapbooking retreat. Need I say more?

3. Something that makes you crazy:
Things that have no place and therefore, end up on my desk. Not to mention, this computer! Kind of a love it, hate it relationship I guess.
4. Something healthy in your life.


















*Lifting up my glass* Here's to a valiant effort, and to pressing on! *clink* Cheers!






P.S. Excuse my formatting....I'm still learning this stuff :)

Any loss is great! The scale is moving in the right direction :) Glad to hear your not giving up on yourself! I make those little additions when I think I've done so well - and then it all adds up really fast. . . I guess we have to wait for that until we are maintaining.

Way to go, Steph! A loss is a loss in my book. I was down 1/2 a pound earlier in the week but got off track & ended up without a loss but no gain either. I'll take it. :-) I love your photos essay! WOW! I remember your little girl being, well, smaller. ;-) It's been awhile since I've seen pics. I so wish I could have joined you all in PA for sb'ing this next month. ::sigh:: Maybe next year. I wish Maine & PA were a lot closer to each other!!! ;-)

Hey, you did good – a loss is a loss, right! :-)

Enjoyed your question answer photos – loved the 2nd pic – your daughter I’m guessing? I love the perspective from which it was taken. Great pic!
