Had my WI today and the scale went in the wrong direction. I have a good idea what I did wrong -- slacked off on my water, didn't exercise enough, and indulged in ham a couple times too often. I'm hoping I don't stress out too much over Easter dinner tomorrow -- it's not at my house, so I don't have to cook the entire meal, but there are some of DH's family whose presence I don't particularly enjoy so I need to NOT use food as a stress-reliever.

On a positive note, my local library actually had a copy on their shelves of the "Beck Diet Solution" book which a number of members here on 3FC have been talking about. It uses cognitive therapy to teach you "how to think like a thin person." I've read the first couple chapters and am enjoying what I read, so hopefully I'll learn some good coping mechanisms.

Hope everyone has a good Easter/Passover and that we all put our knowledge and skills into action!

Happy Saturday everyone! I went to W/I and was down 2.8 so I was very happy about that! We did out Easter supper today so it done and out of the way. I did undulge a bit but over all it was not too bad at all. Company has headed home and the house is cleaned up and quiet. I am tried and will call it a night early. It is just a beautiful day here today, cool but sunny and we are supposed to be like this tomorrow.

Donna: Hold tight and keep at it... you know what you did wrong so I would not worry about it too much. I am eager to hear what you have to say about that book that you are reading.

I have to run but will talk to everyone again soon!

Hi Turtles,
Donna, I echo Princess. You'll be on the right track soon. The ham alone might have held lots of fluid. Keep on keepin' on.

Princess, so glad you stuck with it and had a great weight loss this week! : Glad you had a good (and early) Easter so you can relax tomorrow before heading back to work. Good for you.

Tomorrow we'll be celebrating Easter here. I've got a good menu with a few treats and expect to be eating lots of yogurt on Monday when I'll be completely back on track.
Good luck to us all. Enjoy the holiday and family and keep on chiming in.
Judy

Morning all and happy Monday. Not much new here but I am glad that the holiday is over with, I did eat a few things that were not smart but it is over and done with now. I went and got a new quilt for my bed and some matching fabric and made up some new curtains for the bedroom. Worked on that yesterday and that was pretty much my whole day.

Have a great week everyone!

Morning, turtles:

Hope everyone survived the holiday & back on track and raring to get on with things.

Donna - too bad about your gain, gets frustrating but keep at it & you will drop that in no time.

Princess - congrats of such a fabulous loss, that is really good!

Judy - hope you are staying focussed as much as possible.

As for myself, had nice holiday & didnt have too many extras over the weekend. Yesterday, was completely on track except for walking since centre closed early with the holiday. So, have to get back at that. Slacked off over the last week since it was too busy with all the kids over there.

So spring is a time for new beginnings, so lets all buckle down & really do
our very best!

Cherry, Ariana - hope you are all doing well.

Hi Turtles,
Thanks to Bandit for a pep talk! It's what I need to get focused on what I want. Truth be told, things have been pretty tough here lately and I need to shake this off and get going.
: and to you all. You're the best.
Judy

Earned myself an Attagirl yesterday -- thought I was going to have to skip my exercise again but realized if I got my butt in gear that I could zip over to the pool and get it in that way. So I got in 30 minutes of "bicycle riding" in the pool and actually enjoyed it! Food was good all day, including a spur-of-the-moment decision to have dinner at Marie Calendar's where I had grilled chicken (and brought back half for chef's salad today) vegie of the day and rice pilaf. Felt nicely full but not overstuffed.

Sounds like all of us are getting back on track and our heads where they need to be. I have to keep reminding myself that this is a life program, not a diet program, and in the grand scheme of things the number on the scale doesn't really matter. If I keep doing what I need to do, day after day, I will reach my goal!

Morning all and happy Wednesday to everyone. Food has not been so great this week, I find that I am eating mindlessly again... ugh! Stress I guess but I need to find another avenue to vent that rather then running to the kitchen.

Great job Donna!

Judy: I totally understand where you are at right now... hope it gets better for you.

Bandit: Thanks for the pep talk, it came at the right time!

Donna, glad you are doing so great.

Princess, we do this. It's okay. It doesn't feel good, but then we really push to do the right thing and we get ourselves back on track. Guaranteed I wasn't the only WW member who gained some weight at my meeting. I'm thinking on track and I've got food defrosting to have a good dinner. I'm sending you : that you'll have a breakthrough moment again soon and you'll break this sadness. I know what you mean about venting. I finally told my husband yesterday that I was depressed, and *saying* it helped. Attending my meeting helped too. I've got some family problems going on that I cannot, real absolutely cannot, do anything about. I have to figure out a way to get up and over it and not let it drag me down. The things I can do something about,----well I will.

So----for today I need to track my points, plan and prepare, drink my water, and exercise. How about everybody else?
To let you know, I was up 4.8# at my meeting. That's what overeating for a week and a half does to me. Some of it was fun eating, but most of it was punishing eating. Hey, I'm a nice person and I don't have to punish myself. Eating comfort foods wasn't all that comforting and didn't take away the feeling that I should cry it all out. You know what? People deal with health issues all the time. Right now that's not what is bugging me and I'm going to move on! We can do this.
Again, Donna, you go girl!
Lauren, how's things going for you? I hope your house is b ehaving better than before.
Bandit, thanks again for the good words.
Princess, I know you'll get on track!
Go Turtles! I'm not putting down my stats because right now they are too depressing. All I have to think about is onward and downward.
Judy
