I am back from vay-cay. I swear I feel like this is the summer of vacations that never end. I never thought I would say this, but I am tired of traveling. I'd like to stay home for more than 2 weeks.
Don't get me wrong, I love to travel, I love going places, but when you go places the control I like to have over my food choices go out the window. Thankfully we were at my in-laws and since my FIL had a heartattack, the food at their house is mostly good. By that I mean, not too many treats and my MIL makes these fantastically good applesauce-banana muffins. They also drink skim-milk---thank you!
But I had an epiphinay while I was away. I think, no, I know, that I am deathly afraid of being hungry. I think this is why I obsess over food and I am always on the prowl for the next snack. I don't know why I have this fear, I've never been in a sitation where I've actually been hungry or starving. I've always had food and enough of it. I think because I'm afraid to be hungry I over eat.
This is just so weird, but at the same time liberating. At least I know the next deamon I need to conquer.
Since I didn't track my food last week, this week is the adjusted week 24. At the end of the week I will have been on WW for 6 months. I can't believe that it's been 6 months. I have to say that WW has been a journey, and I can't believe the places that I've gone, and the corners of my life that I've had to examine when it comes to food. I will say that DH and I got many complements on our weight loss. One of my SILs, who is also a WW veteran, said we looked good. That really meant alot to me. It's not that I'm looking for complements, but it's nice to be noticed.
So as I start this week, I am 11 pounds from my goal weight. I'd like to loose that by the middle of August. If I can loose an additional 5 pounds after that, I will be most pleased. However, I would like to crack my next point threshold in the next two weeks. In the end of July, we are off once again. This time to see my family in the middle of Hell--that would be Phoenix, and the fact that my family drives me mostly crazy, most of the time. The only reason we're going to Phoenix in July is because my sister is visiting from an Eastern state. Who knows, I might just pass out from the heat and not have to worry about my weight because I will have sweated it all away. According to my 8 year old neice, it's so hot you will melt faster than a popsicle.
Finally, my feet are feeling better, not totally better. I still have to tape my right arch and wear shoes and socks most of the day, but I was able to walk today. I can't say how happy that made me feel. I needed to get out and walk and clear my head! Tomorrow morning will be the true test, if my feet hurt in the morning I will have to excercise on the bike. Hoefully not though, I love walking and if I can't do it I will be very sad.
This is all for today--Chicken Fat out!

Sometimes I think we need vacations from our vacations.
It looks like you found a landmark on the map of your journey. As you know, we learn a lot about ourselves on the way to goal.
Speaking of goal, that's SO awesome that you only have 11 pounds left.!!! Can't you just see it on the horizon?? You rock!
BTW, I tagged you.
Sally...thanks. Way to go on your loss. Now are you going to meetings or are you on-line? You know the WW message boards are free and there is a very nice NM group called the NM Chilies. It's in the "neighbors" board and is a very nice group of people who are there to help cheer you on your way. Don't look at your 6#s as small. That's at least a sack of flour. Put that in a back pack and carry it around, then you will see how signifigant your loss reall is! YAY SALLY!! We love SALLY!
Lady....thanks for the tag, I'm trying to think who blogs and rocks at the same time so I can tag them. :)
I had a friend who read somewhere that usually when you are hungry, you are actually thirsty, so he carried around a huge water jug and drank it all freaking day. That was his idea to the hunger game... I've already told you this? Oh well, there's my 2 cents again:)
