Welcome my friends to our weekly issue of Journey with Friends. This is a time that we come together for support, for encouragement, for fellowship – all with one single goal in mind – to live better. Welcome to our journey to share our goals and our accomplishments and our disappointments and frustrations.
Together we can do this!
Well my friends – How did you do this past week? I started completely over here at the Hotel Thompson and feel good this week – two pounds down. Two pounds gone from the rear end – hopefully forever. Of course, there was still some Christmas candies in the house from Christmas – thank goodness they are gone now. I didn’t do too much splurging for New Years – just had the traditional black eyes peas and greens here so that wasn’t too bad. No alcohol.
So go – how do you do? Hugs!

Mummy says she is too scared to get on the scales after Christmas. She can still ge into her size 11 jeans but they might be feeling a little too tight.

I know the feeling! Well, not size 11 but I know the feeling of my pants being too tight. LOL. It’s time to settle down now and get some results in 2016. Hugs. June

Well my newyears resolution is to walk the dogs every day no excuses and I plan to keep doing that! Good for them and good for me.

That sounds like a plan my friend! I’m making little goals and trying to stick with them. This will work together! June

My Mom hasn’t popped on the scales yet either but we know it won’t be good news. WAY TOO MANY yummy things around this year and of course everyone knows she loves chocolate so she got a LOT of that! Anyway, she’ll whack away at the scales slowly but surely…….these days she does everything slowly!
Good luck – – – starting off in a good way with two pounds down is GREAT!
Hugs, Sammy

We can all do this together with supporting each other. This is the year to do it! I truly believe in baby steps 🙂 Good luck to you my friend. June

Starting over is a great feeling. Mom is a fan of the cheat day once a week. Save that one thing that you crave and HAVE IT, but just a little and just once a week. #gottalivealittle
Love and licks,

Exactly! I think I’m going to do this very thing. Once a week – probably sometime over the weekend – I will have what I crave really bad within reason. We can all do this together! June

Congrats on the 2 lbs. You did pretty good through the holidays. I have a hard time not eating everything during then. Enjoy your week.

I definitely had my ups/downs – believe me on that. But now it’s time to put the holidays behind us and get down to business. We can do this together! June

My big splurge was popcorn at the movies. Not the best, but not as bad as alcohol.

Amen to that! That’s my guilty splurge as well – popcorn. I bought an air popper and do it that way at home now. I love me some munchies! June

LOL! I can’t keep goodies in my house. If I do, I will eat them – simple as that. It’s so hard not to go for what you know and eat what you want. 😦 June

Good for you! I didn’t do very well last week. Eating was so-so, but activity level was WAY down. We watched a movie marathon New Year’s Day. I have a writing assignment this week–more seat time. Tomorrow will be Day One for me. Here’s to hope!

aawww – thanks so much my friends. Mom is working hard at it but to tell you the truth – I think she has slid a little this week. Snorts – don’t tell her I told you that. XOXO – Bacon

Mom put on one pound. She said she will lose it before next Saturday, when she weighs again. She and Dad are still on their healthy living plan…it was just those desserts while they were up North with family…

Isn’t it sad how fast it gains up on you? This was totally a tough week for me and I can admit that I didn’t watch my intake as carefully as I should have most days. This week will be better. We can all do this together. XOXO – Bacon
