Hi Guys,
I'm here and I'm well. I am still working on getting in sufficient water every day; it's so hard for me! I did buy some instant tea to help flavor the water, so hopefully that'll help.
My eating has been...pretty good. Far from perfect, but not totally overboard, either. I will weigh on Thursday.
I've been really emotional and had bad cramps and bloating, but that is being resolved as we speak. ;-)
Not much else to report. Talk to you soon!
Slow and Steady Wins the Race
About Me
- The Skinny Turtle
- I am a stay at home mom to 4 amazing kiddos. Married to a man who loved me before I knew he existed, and still loves me in spite of it all. Determined to get back to a healthy weight after having a baby and stress eating caused me to balloon to the highest weight I've ever been. This is my journey.
Weight Loss
The Story of the Skinny Turtle
Ok, we all know the story of the tortoise and the hare, right?
Well, the tortoise won the race because he kept up a slow, steady pace. Even when it looked like there was no way in the world the turtle could ever catch up to the speedy jack rabbit, he didn't stop. He didn't give up. He kept on plugging along.
That is my goal with this weight loss journey. Never to give up. Even when the weight loss is slow, even when it feels like it isn't working, even when it feels impossible. Never give up!
And one day, I'll be the turtle and win the race with my weight.
I will be... The Skinny Turtle.

Hi RA, I have been holding your post because when you started back on the diet and wanted encouragement I felt like I couldn't give any to you if I couldn't do it myself. It seems awful to tell you to diet as I stuff another donut in my mouth. I want to be able to take my own advice before I give it to others. But it has bothered me not to comment so even though I can't do it myself I hope you can and I know you can because you have done it before. I am off to the gym for the first time in months so talk to you on the flip side. xo, MB
