I also have problems with getting my water in on the weekends. I don't usually carry a water bottle, but I do have one if I need it for the gym. I looked at it yesterday and thought about it, . So maybe I need to fill the water bottle on the weekends.
Last night I added on: Full Body Stretch (standing)
This Morning: Oxycise in the Office 2
Calories for yesterday: 1390 +

Have a great day and start to your week.

September 18
Hebrews 10:23
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised).
Kelly believed God would help her. At least, she wanted to believe that God would help. Sometimes she wasn't so sure. She'd begin to doubt, then fear would set in, and she'd comfort herself with a bowl of ice cream or a chocolate bar. Then she'd get mad at herself, she'd pray for help once more, and the whole cycle would start again. If only she could stay convinced that God was with her to give her strength. Kelly knew it wasn't God's fault that she kept giving in. It was her own wavering. Perhaps Kelly's prayer should have been for strength of faith, rather than strength of diet will-power.
Today's thought: I don't think God will help me lose weight; I know it!
WI same 160.8 and holding considering the weekend and eating out most meals and 2 beers each day I am sure over the course of the week it will drop back off.
Food today, B: two eggs, two egg whites, L: large salad with black olives and turkey kielbasa, D Tacos with low carb tortilla, meat, peppers and onion S: not sure yet
ugh! I am up another pound from yesterday! It has to be the protein bars I ate for breakfast all weekend...I literally ate nothing else that would cause sodium bloat or anything like that so maybe the sugar alcohols? This is what I had yesterday:
b - protein bar
s - pop chips 100 calorie bag
l - sandwich (deli roast beef, tomatoes, pickle, mustard) small portion bbq potato chips, fresh strawberries and watermelon
d - DH grilled: omaha chicken breast kabob, organic baked potato with light sour cream
that's IT! 2 glasses of wine.
I should have been down this morning! The scale is going the wrong way! Usually it's because I had extra drinks...I feel like I should have. 159.4. YUCK.
So today I am having TJs fiber cereal for breakfast with almond milk. I have 2 hard boiled eggs for later. I am not playing today! They are providing lunch for us at work for all our hard work leading up to Erev Rosh Hashanah on Wednesday...lunch today, lunch tomorrow, and breakfast on Wednesday. I have to be VERY careful because they tend to get things that throw water on me so fast...I hope there is something worthy otherwise I will have to figure something else out.
I WILL ditch this 3 pounds of water and get going in the right direction (downward) again! Sheesh!

Hey everyone.
I am trying to get back into the habit of posting every day. Lots going on.
I ordered Shift Shop from Beachbody; I need a change.
Good news first: If I am able to swap weekends with a coworker at work, I am able to go to the Bahamas (We switched the destination from Mexico to the Bahamas; it is cheaper and safer)! So that's exciting.
Bad news...
I have been rather depressed this past week, as an old dear friend of mine (he was a childhood online pen-pal whom I have kept in contact with over the years; known him since I was eight years old) has informed me that he could die any day; he is in the last stages of pancreatic cancer. I have never been able to go meet him, so I may drive down next weekend (If I still can...) to visit him for the first and last time.
I am so saddened by this; he is such a wonderful person..
Also, my sister is still in the mental hospital (it's been about three weeks) and they transported her to a bigger hospital 1.5 hours away so that she can undergo 3 sessions of ECT (Electro-convulsive therapy), as it has a high success rate in patients with depression. They put you to sleep, and administer shocks to the brain to essentially make you have a seizure. Hopefully the change in brain chemistry will help her.
On my way to work: 3/4 protein bar (couldn't finish it, getting sick of them) and coffee
Morning snack: Siggi's whole milk yogurt, strawberry rhubarb flavor
Lunch: Leftover casserole (Quinoa, butternut squash, chicken, cheese, dried cranberries, spices)
Since it is nice outside today I may go for a run.
I seem to be stuck around the 172-173 lb range.
Hope everyone is doing well.

I've been so bad about posting over the weekend and I am going to work on that.
Kelijpa - Your plan sounds similar to something I did years ago called the Wendie Plan. On the plan you also fluctuated your Points and had a very high day and a couple very low days. I am on connect and my name on there is GettnFit2015. Thanks for sharing the info with me. So far I'm enjoying the Simply Filling Plan. I didn't realize there were so many things on the Food List. The only thing I really miss is my Lean Cuisines When I have a free weekend, I may try cooking some meals and freezing them myself. I hope you have a good W/I this week.
I hope everyone else had a great weekend.
It was a good one for me, I stuck to my plan and yesterday I did a 1 hour intense walk. I finally got the scale back to 220 so hopefully, I'm on my way down to the 210s.
Have a great Monday
Today's Log
B: Reduced calorie English muffin w/1 sl RF cheese, skim milk, coffee, apple
L: Large salad w/Balsamic vinaigrette dressing, shrimp, WW Pretzel Blast bar (2)
S: baby carrots, grapes, popcorn
D: Shrimp, cucumber & tomato
Exercise: Walk
hi again! I ended up with pizza for lunch, but me and 2 other coworkers were able to get them to order a gluten free one. So my lunch was 2 small slices of gluten free cheese pizza and salad. Damage shouldn't be bad in the morning but these days...who knows!
Dinner was a salad and some french fries...just not feeling it. I have a headache. Tomorrow I find out whether or not I passed my 2nd CPA exam...I have no idea what might happen.
a little wine just because. I am SO tired I only got 5 hours of sleep last night and it helps mellow me out. Everyone have a good night and check in tomorrow!

240.8 Down again though not sure why so much. I am full of fiberful food and drank a ton of water yesterday.
Did make a new batch of kefir with new grains and right now I am a "churnin urn of burnin funk" but otherwise fine. We will see how the adjustment goes. It could also be I ate a falafel patty but normally cooked garbanzo beans don't bother me.
Today I have to travel to a meeting 2 hours a way so I am skipping lunch and doubling up on breakfast. We also have friends over tonight for dinner and Gregg is cooking. Could be I am dreading the drive to the meeting.........
Breakfast-2 eggs, cheese, vegetables, maybe oatmeal if I can get it down
Dinner-cabbage and beef dish from budget gourmet
Internet messing with my zen this morning just wanted to say good morning all!!
GettinFit I think it is similar to the Wendie, but slightly different. Of course you need to find what works best for you. Let me know if you end up trying simply filling.
Felt strong yesterday. Actually tracked EVERYTHING I ate (including my 1/2 glass of coconut water) and I stayed withing my points. Went to the gym - more to clear my mind than anything but it felt good.
My plan for the day is to stay on track with eating. I will do yard work - my 1/2 acre needs mowing if the weather holds out. If the weather keeps me from being in the yard - I will go to the gym again.
I'm thinking ahead to weekend and planning some projects around the house to keep my mind occupied - boyfriend and I broke up two weeks ago so keeping myself distracted is a must.
Last night I added on: Full Body Stretch (standing)

Job 11:15
For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear.
What a marvelous feeling, being able to stand up in front of the diet group and tell them she had lost forty-four pounds! Marcie never thought she'd see the day. She remembered all the times when, with great embarrassment, she had to confess that she was not even close to her goal. Those days were behind her. All the doubts and guilt were over. The groups had been a great help, too, as God had been. Her faith was a large reason that she was able to stay with it as well as she did. Praise God, everything worked out. She held her head high and shared her great news with the group that had helped her so much.
Today's thought: Doubting never helps get things done!
. So maybe I need to fill the water bottle on the weekends. 
Usually it's because I had extra drinks...I feel like I should have. 159.4. YUCK.
When I have a free weekend, I may try cooking some meals and freezing them myself. I hope you have a good W/I this week.
