seemy: I know, right? But geez when you get stuck in the decades from double hockey sticks, you'd like it to fall right on off when you add movement
I read of your frustration but like that you are following it with a mantra. I tend to tape a word to my monitor to remind me of my goals. I win was one I had for a long time (cancer). Maybe I should post the number i want to hit. If anyone asks, I'll say its a password to something. HAH! Of course it'd just be my kids and DH as I am a SAHM. Maybe thats something that will work for you too?
littlecat: The tea may help, but you may find you want something with said tea. Of course that's me, I always like something with my tea or coffee. Not the best combination I fear for myself. You will find something that works for those longer stretches. I have to watch it if I do go work out at night, I usually come home hungry - those don't go together either. I had 10 almonds last night and more water, that helped some.
AM: I told DH my weight went up rather than down, he of course in all manly wisdom said, did you have a BM? Like who has that right upon waking and before the scale?! Again, that's me so maybe just maybe the weight might fluctuate downward tomorrows hop on.
I am baking again today - 3 coffeecakes, and 4 batches of cookies. When done they will all go to the basement freezer. I have been doing well, I had one chocolate chip! I am slugging away water as a deterrent to wanting to sample, thus far it's helping to keep it at arms reach. I hope to do well with avoiding tasting the wares.
I tried to get up early to go work out, I will go this evening as things hurt when I moved, but once I got up and going things felt pretty good. So judging from that I may be good to go tomorrow morning as well. Maybe it will give me a jump up on things to do well and find goodness in it all.
Enjoy the tree colors - my tree is the brightest red ever! Bought and planted for that reason. Happy Tuesday.
