Hello positive people!!! I know I haven't been on here in quite some time, but I've been working on me. I miss you all dearly (Ags, Learn and others). I see there are ALOT of new faces since I last frequented this forum. My how things have changed!!!
With the new month beginning I started to get increasingly serious about my health. For starters, I rode my bike for an hour (never done that before, 30 mins used to kill me), then my nephew and I walked a mile around our neighborhood. I intend on doing the bike thing daily combined with some other form of exercise.
Anyhow, yesterday evening my niece told me her nursing class was doing a walk for diabetes. I told her I wanted to do it too, so she signed me up. I'm asking if you can, please make a contribution on my behalf at: http://main.diabetes.org/goto/nonabee. Thanks!
Happy Monday Everyone!
Yesterday was a good eating day. Maybe a little too much sodium, but not too aweful bad. Stayed somewhat active around the house and am enjoying this cooler weather.
Today is planned out foodwise and I have errands, a doctors appt., and a visit with mom planned.
I'm being fitted for a heart monitor this morning, which I believe I have to wear for 24 hours. That way maybe they can catch what kinda funky things my heart is doing. Ought to be interesting!
Ona- It was so nice to see your post yesterday. I've missed you very much. You are truly an inspiration to all of us.
Ags- Wow, what a haul! Sounds like the babies will be all set for the cooler weather. Sounds like you were born to shop sista!
Nona- Well look who showed up at 3FC. Miss Nonabee herself. Girl I have missed you. Please don't stay away so long this time.
Well ladies that's all for me, have a wonderful monday.
My positive: Congratulations for staying on plan! Congratulations for finally figuring out the sugar is my food drug. Birthday cake/chips/dip at work last night and my body, mouth, mind were not going crazy to eat something. In fact, I did not have anything! And, it is all because the sugar addiction is gone! I have no craving for it.
I've been MIA because we went on a short weekend get-a-way to Kentucky. We stayed at Barren Heights Christian Retreat. It was wonderful!!!
They provided our food. I made sure I wrote everything down I ate, though I did not keep track of calories until I just finished up with "My Plate" counting them just now.
We had a 5 hour car ride each way, and eating some meals on the run. I figured I'd be over, at least some.
BUT NO!!
I was within 15 calories every day of my limit...and drank more than enough water. We also walked quite a bit, so I figured I got my exercise in as well.
On vacation and stayed POP! THAT is my Positive Thought for today!
AND I've been here long enough for a SIGGY!! Whoot!
Good morning ladies!
Yesterday was an O.K. day for me. I only say O.K. because I feel like I nibbled too much. Although what I nibbled on wasn't terrible, I just feel it was too much.
Got my heart monitor on and wear it until 10 am today. Not sure it will tell them anything. My doctor ordered it because I told her I had been waken my heart started pounding so hard and when I checked my pulse and BP it was elevated, but I didn't have any episodes like that last night.
Today is basically a me day. Aside from returning the heart monitor I have nothing planned. Yay!
Change- Sounds like your whole get-a-way was a success. Congratulations!
WBLA- CONGRATULATIONS all around for you! Two pounds gone! AWESOME!
Laura- Welcome back! I too am curious to find out what croakers and spots are.
O.K. kiddies that's it for me. Have a great tuesday.
hello lovely ladies!!!!! I want to thank AGS, LEARN, and Ona for the weightloss wishes and encouragement. It feels good to be out of the 300s. Now my goal is to lose 25 before christmas and 10 before halloween. I have already lost 5 for my halloween goal and five toward my christmas goal. I guess not having appetite because I stay so busy helps.
The job is going well except I have been dog sick for the past 2-3 days. I had to leave work early Saturday, took off Sunday, and had to leave early again yesterday due to vomiting and the upset stomach. I love my job just cant stand being sick.
All this good news has got me smiling and feeling goooood!!!!
OMGravy!!!!!
NonaB is in the HOUSE!!!!
I am soooo happy to see you. I think of you often. Are you all finished with school? Oh my , I cannot stop smiling, I love seeing old friends come back even if only to say Hi.
Yes sweetie, I will make a contribution, my mom and dad were diabetics and now so am I. So you will be walking for me too!!!
Way to go for all your exercising, got get me a bike too and all your walking. So way proud of you as always!!! You come back now, ya here!!! Smooches!!!
Morning Blanche,
Yes I was born to shop, but my pockets have not realized that just yet!!! LOL LOL
You better let me know the results from wearing that heart monitor Missy Pooh!! And please hug Momma for me. I recieved all your texts but when I tried to respond, gosh darn it, they just would not go through. Now enjoy your ME day!!!! You deserve it!!!
Lynnie,

Laura,
What a day, what a day, all my old friends are stoppin' in. You have made my day!!!
Laura, croackers and spots are fish??? And they are soo soo good and not expensive either. I am stocking my freezer for the winter so we can have fresh fish all year long.
Come on back when you can, no pressure here, cause I know better well life can get full. Love you chica!!!
Linda,
congrats on figuring out what your triggers are and now being able to defeat them. Here is a WOOT WOOT for those two pounds hitting the dust!!!! You ROCK!!!
Donna,

He said, He would give us the desires of our hearts, and He lives up to HIS words!!! You did fabulous, but I expected that!!!! Next time you go on vacation.......I want to go!!! LOL Glad you had so much fun and success!!!
Rach,
yes that is a positive for sure!!! You are staying grounded and doing what you need to did to get yourself healthy no matter what comes your way, because the flip side is not acceptable, meaning no good heath, no you. You are strong and are doing very well!!
So far ladies, I am having a great day!!! Tonight is my late night at work and I have got my head in the right frame of mind!!! Drinking lots and lots of water today.....had a little too much sodium this week so I know what I need to do and am doing just that!!!
Here's hoping that each of you experiences something new today, something that makes you feel alive and happy to be you!!!! YOu are all exceptional women............let it out and let it flow!!!! YOu just may be someone else's inspiration!!!
Hugs love and blessings,

I ate lunch at my favorite steak house today. I stayed on plan! I passed up the bread prior to the meal. Dh offered bread and I said I will wait until the steak gets here.
I had my salad (no points), dressing on side, which I had very little. We split the salad, as we do the entire meal. Steak arrived, we ordered 8oz., I had less than half of the steak And, we split the steamed vegetables. I was offered some bread... I had food on my plate, so I think to myself, I do not need bread just because it is there. So, I passed again on the bread.
And... I drank water with my meal! I was so proud of myself. And, while looking over the menu, I made a comment to myself..."let's see if I can eat healthy." And, my Dh says, "Why, you are eating out!" I am thinking to myself ...all the more to eat healthy.
I was really surprised I did not crave the bread like before. Now I am wondering if the craving for bread was lost along with the sugar craving.
My rules, I make my decisions for food. If someone offers me food, I should reflect on the offer and refuse the food if I do not need the food. Whatever food goes in my mouth is my decision.
...
