The last thing I need to do to complete my moment of truth is post my weights -the  and the . One reassuring thing during my "lost" moment is that I continued to daily weigh except when I was away from the scale and almost a full week when my scale's battery went out on me. I have updated my weigh in page. One of the things that helped me snap back to myself is that after continually weighing between 200-203, the scale climbed to 211 last week. It was a truly moment. Now after getting back on plan the weight immediately came off. I went from 211 to 206 the next day and then 201.6 the second day back on plan. By weigh in day I was back to 199 and Onederland. I never want to leave that Onederland again. Not really sure how real the 211 was, but it was real enough to give me that extraI needed.

I ended with only 3 of the 4/5 days of exercise this week. I got sick on Saturday and stayed in bed for two days. I admit I felt better exercising and will do better this week. With one week under my belt, I am feeling good about being back on plan. I think I've got my life more organized too. I had many things change and new things come about and I just lost it for awhile. A lesson learned for sure.

When I say I need to be able to do this without my online friends, I am not giving up on them and I surely don't want them to give up on me. They are my part of my support group and I will always need that, but when I can't get online I need to have my own strength. I especially value those I have formed an off-line friendship with. To be able to speak via phone and even text message is invaluable to me since I have limited online access.
