Happy belated Easter. Its the first full week of spring and today was not a disappointment..although I hear we will be seeing snow on Friday morning! Flowers are starting to appear through the leaves in the flower beds and everything...including my children..... seem to have sprouted overnight! I seem to have to look up to talk to my kids these days! Patrick is the tallest and this photo really shows it!
On the Fat Flush scene, I've been struggling for 3 weeks with food. I crave sugar. After the flu, I've been run down and eating things I shouldn't be. I don't have all the answers to get back that motivation that I held for 9 months. I have to find the path that leads back to that and quick! Anyone know the way?

Photo? What photo?
Happy belated Easter to you, too!
Ugh on the food cravings and the aftermath of being sick. It can really throw you for a loop!
Hi Lisa!
I too have been struggling with my food and find I've been slipping down a slope and before I know it I'm at the bottom of the hill.
I made the conscious decision yesterday to get back on plan, and it always seems like something attempts to sabotage it.
Yesterday was "bring your teacher a sweet treat day". Only 2 girls brought me apples, the rest was chocolate. I was ok with not eating it, until a boy brought in a bag of Dove dark chocolate squares to split between 3 teachers. Dark Chocolate is my weakness, and I gave in around noon.
However, I congratulate myself on refusing cookies, cupcakes, and cake yesterday that were available. I guess it's all in the climb back up to the top.
There's the picture! Thanks for emailing me so I could see it when it wasn't coming up for me earlier.
Noel - I applaud the parents of those kids who sent in the apples for the teachers!! I can imagine it is hard to resist all those treats - maybe they should change it to a day to bring in "much needed supplies" (markers, pens, ink cartridges) to the teachers instead!!!!
Hey Lisa..Hang in there. Try not to focus on the sugar if you can or find alternative outlets. Punch a pillow (ha!)
I can only imagine the stress of the trial coming up and Tom will help pull you through this. Tom and maybe a stiff drink? Seriously, I hope you can feel the prayers coming at you from the Hiller house. We are here, we are here, we are here.
Love you!
I don't know, but I do know you can do it!!
Happy Easter!
Hiya!
Just a quick thought about getting back on track. Last year, you had your initial enthusiasm around getting thinner and healthier. All those compliments and new clothes turned you on. Then THE CRUISE! So now...
What's your next big goal and reward? Seems like the trial is taking over as "the event"... and it's not all that motivating - adding to the stress levels too.
How about a trip to Hawaii? Create a spa at home by doing some re-decorating in your bedroom? What gets your heart ticking fast???
Loved your sick photo! OMG, I looked worse than you at around the same time. Was down for a full week - unheard of! And yes, the sugar cravings hit too. So it's back to THE PLAN as of today. (My motivation is a birthday in April and a trip in July to visit friends in southern Ontario...they are both really fit and I don't want to be their little round friend lol!).

Lisa,
you can find the motivation again. Go try on your swimsuit and think about summer coming up!
Patrick is sooooooo tall! Try to remember that you need to feel healthy to survive the stress of the upcoming trial. FFP will make your body more apt to handle all that stress. Maybe set one day a week that you can have the sweet and try to avoid it until that day.
