But you can tell by the smile that I am happy. Considering this past week we have had at home, it's actually a miracle.
For those of you who don't know yet, Chip lost his job last Monday. It was as if a rug had been pulled right out from under us.
I was so motivated to have an awesome week. When this happened, lots of that motivation went right out the window. The thought of quitting entered my mind often. Although I had a great work out out every day (thanks for the push out the door a few of those days Chip) - there was some emotional eating going on that I had a very difficult time controlling. Fortunately, when it seems like it's all too much, Chip and Beth are right here all the time to knock some sense into me. I don't know what I would do without them. Lots of encouraging words have come from people I love. I am so blessed.
So, after a couple of days, I was back at it mentally. I just have to believe that everything will be okay, because it always is.
I am happy with my results this week - very happy.

great job tracy! very motivating, especially with having such a rough week! i hope things get better very soon!
Good for you!! I figured this would be a tough week with all the other stuff going on and you plowed right through and were successful anyway! It's very self satisfying when you learn that you can do hard things. I hope you're feeling pretty good about yourself. You should!!!
Love,
Mom
Way to go, Tracy! I agree with your mom, it is very self satisfying and empowering to watch yourself succeed in this journey you have started when your life gets turned upside down. You have proved to yourself that you can do this! You are going to make it. Already 6 lbs down!! You rock!!
Love,
Nikki

I lost this address so I haven't been able to check in for a while. I'm so happy to see you are making great progress.
I LOVE "I Can Make You Thin". Did you see the show on cravings and emotional eating (it would explain the Cadbury Egg - you ate that, not because you were hungry but because you craved it). And of course all the emotional eating from the stress of the past weeks. Anyway, call me and we can talk about it.
Keep going, girl!!
