Still up, but down from last week, so that's a good thing. I'm hoping someone else will be able to do a website like Tales from the Scales. I wish I could, but with my husband's hip replacement surgery coming up, I know there will be times when I just couldn't do it.
I cracked my forehead really good last night on a doorway and got quite a big bump out of it. It's still swollen this morning, from my hairline down to the eyebrow. And of course, I've got a good headache as well. I didn't black out, get nauseous or anything like that, just iced it for quite a while. Just total clumsiness. :-P
Email from Denise Austin today:
Pep Talk Yourself!
What's the voice inside your head saying about your efforts to lose weight and get fit? Are the messages positive and encouraging, or just the opposite?
Make a conscious effort today to take note of your inner chatter so you can see if it's helping you. If not, you can learn to look on the sunny side — it just takes some practice, say experts from the Mayo Clinic. The secret? Take note of the negative messages and replace them with a positive spin! Here are some examples:
* Instead of "I can't stick to a diet," think "I know I can do this!"
* Instead of "This won't work," think "I can make this work!"
* Instead of "It's a waste of time," think "It will be worth the extra effort!"
* Instead of "It's not going to make a difference," think "I'll never know unless I try!"
* Instead of "It hasn't worked before," think "I'll try again!"
* Instead of "I've already tried," think "I can learn from my mistakes!"
* Instead of "I don't like that (food, exercise, etc.)," think "I'm excited to try some new things!"
Currently loosely using the Flat Belly Diet plan. A healthy way of eating for LIFE!

Great news that you're down from last week, keep going.
Ouch on the head. My daughter took a nose dive into some concrete and has a goose egg to wear as a badge of honor.
Have a great week. Let's both keep focused on what's best for healthy bodies.
congrats on being down from last week. If I knew how to do that mr linky thing I would carry on Tales from the Scales but I haven't been able to figure that one out yet.
Good luck on your journey!! And I"ll add you to my blog roll too.
Good news on going down from last week - that is excellent!
Ouchy about the head - I fell last week and really messed up my knee and wrist so I can relate to your pain. Ice is a miracle :)
glad you are down for the week! the pep talk is great!
I WOULD LOVE TO BE BLOG BUDDIES!!! im so sorry you got hurt- im a huge cluks and fall and get hurt all the time. im so happy for you that you are still going down- keep it up.
I really liked this bit of advice:
Instead of "It's not going to make a difference," think "I'll never know unless I try!"
I've always lived my life that way. I'll try almost anything once (and sometimes twice, when I'm a slow learner). I've failed at lots of things, and succeeded at some, but at least I don't have any regrets about not having tried. Thanks for sharing!
