Great news on the 150s, Tracy! You are doing such a great job (I think I write that every time I leave you a message, but it's true!). Hope your open house goes well today

Tracy - having clothes too large is a GOOD thing! LOL. Of course what will you wear TO Nashville?

Maybe you could get a couple pairs of jeans and then later when they are too baggy, wash them in hot water and dry them on high? My jeans seem to shrink every time they go in the dryer!

You are doing fantastic!

Day 78 of Compliance

Today is my 11 week weigh in. Down 2.4 lbs this week to 158 lbs for a total of 32.6 lbs lost. I’ve passed the half way mark. One of the most thrilling things is that everything in my closet has “outgrown me” instead of the other way around.

I was cleaning out my desk drawer this morning and found a few pieces of paper with quotes that I had pinned up in my cube when I was still working in an office (2003). I’m not sure who wrote them, but a friend of mine who was in AA sent them to me. I remembered being on a self exploration path back then. That was four years ago and sometimes I feel like I lost myself somewhere along the way, but I find it interesting that I am again on that self exploration path and the words ring true to me again. I’m recording them here so I won’t forget…

The essence of growth is a willingness to change for the better and then an unremitting willingness to shoulder whatever responsibility this entails.

Sometimes when I’ve become willing to do what I should have been doing all along, I want praise and recognition. I don’t realize that the more I’m willing to act differently, the more exciting my life is. The more willing I am to help others, the more rewards I receive. Fun and benefits for me are in the willingness to do the actions, not to get immediate results. Being a little kinder, a little slower to anger, a little more loving make my life better – day by day.

Way to go, Tracy, on the loss for this week! You are so consistent and it's really paying off for you. Keep it up!

[katesmom]

Hi Tracy !
How did your Open House go??
Must be getting exciting to be so near the time when your DH will see you !

Have a great weekend !

[BabyTrace]

Thanks for stopping by ladies. I know I've said it before, but your encouragement means SO MUCH!

Lots going on....after seven long months I've got two families interested in my house now. My front door has been revolving since last Friday with multiple showings. Received an offer last night and countered this morning, so I'm keeping fingers, legs, toes, you name it, crossed hoping it works out. Due to all of the house activity DH and I had a quick change in plans. I had planned to leave for Nashville today for the winter, but we've decided I should stick around a few days incase we do close the deal and we can move for real in a few weeks.

For those of you excited to hear the results of my "big reveal" don't be too disappointed, we just rearranged travel plans. DH is coming up here instead. He'll be here Sunday night! Which actually makes it kind of nice for me since I'll be all fresh when he sees me instead of all road weary after the 9 hour drive I was going to be making!

Needless to say, I'll be spending the weekend getting all beautified! <img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/11/11_7_15.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"><img border="0" src="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fimgfarm%252Ecom%252Fimages%252Fnocache%252Ftr%252Ffw%252Fsmiley%252Fsocial%252Egif%253Fi%253D11%252F11_7_15/image.gif">
