foodfighter - temptation is such a tough thing - I've learned the hard way that it's better for me not to have anything too tempting around. Milk chocolate in any form and salty crunchy fried snacks are not allowed in the door around here as the 'I'll just have a bite' thing has failed too often. Good luck subbing!
momofboys - great job on packing your salad already - that makes such a difference the next day! blueflower - how did it go with the cheese? annie - working in a dr's office, do you find that there is more emphasis on healthy habits and eating well? I would have assumed so but wasn't sure. Went on a nice walk last night with my bf before dinner and am planning on another walk with a buddy tonight. Hope you all are doing well.... |
DancerinDenver-Not so true even though you would think healthy living would be promoted. We have lunch brought in several times a week by drug reps and most of the time it is not the healthiest fare. I gained 15 pounds in just a few months when I first started working here. Yesterday was Italian buffet....very hard for me to resist, but I did resist it!

I did NOT throw it away yesterday, justified it by saying that was a lot of $ in cheese, there. SO WHAT, I already spent the $, I need to throw it away. I did not eat any of it, had some raw almonds instead. :dizzy: Quote:

I'd be dancing! :carrot: |
Seems it might take me a bit to remember to check in here. Maybe I should make 3FC my "homepage".
Been doing OK with my eating but working our sporadically. It's good to see so many here.... now I need to get my butt here on a regular basis. |
I am having an up and down kinda day...big downer is I have an infected cyst and the antibiotics don't seem to be budging it. :( So looking like it will have to be drained either tomorrow or Saturday. OUCHEE.
BUT...I weighed myself for the heck of it as my cold is finally gone and I am DOWN to 213.4! WOOOHOOOOO!!!! Now once TOM is gone I can hopefully see another loss. (insert crossing of fingers) Glad to see that people are making good choices (most of the time!)...that's what life is about, making more better choices than poorer ones. Might not be back until Sunday,depending on my situation. Keep rocking ladies! Maddie |
Good luck on getting the cyst taken care of, Maddie. Sounds painful.
Bad, bad day all around. Won't go into details, but many things going wrong. Nothing I can't handle, but still very disheartening. I ate a TERRIBLE supper of fried catfish, fries, corn, cole slaw, bread.....yeah...I may not see that 151.0 for another week or so.:( Back on plan as of right now, though. |
no binge today
Annie: so sorry about your dinner, but I know you'll see your 150.0 soon! One of the things I am learning from this chat is what you wrote about, making better decisions, like making snow peas instead of mashed potatoes, so thanks.:)
Maddie: bummer about health issues, hope you're feeling better soon. Blueflower: so proud of you for "just saying no" to the cheese - hang in there, I'm in your corner. And, no more chocolate or chips in MY house, thank you very much, and thanks for that very timely reminder, DancerinDenver.:D MomofBoys: I never eat dressing, b/c it's too many calories for what you get. May as well have a Hershey bar! That's not advice, though, I'm the worst one to give advice. Way to go buying healthy food! For me, today went pretty well. The kids were not horrible, I stayed out of the vending machines and was able to eat a reasonable amount of food, not junk, for dinner when I got home, even though I was STARVING and that can lead to bingeing, so - go me! Hope everyone has a good evening, and TGIF tomorrow.:carrot: |
Hi Ladies,
Everybody seems to be doing so well. Typhoon passed us by and the heat has returned, I hate it when it so hot ALL the time, no break now for over 2 months. This is unseasonal in Japan as September is usually a nice month with cool mornings and evenings! Diet and exercise had gone out of the window. Not sure what happens, I just can't be bothered most of the time. But I should be!!! My own Mom died young, just 64 (she had the opposite problem, not enough weight, then got cancer in the gullet and couldn't eat!). When I think that in just 16 years I'll be 64, I don't want to die then, I have so much left to do!!! So why don't I get on plan, eat the healthy food I have, do the exercises I should? Can anybody relate to this? Am i just lazy? Or crazy? My 16 year old summed up my diet by saying that I starve myself all day then stuff myself with chocolate at night:?: Blueflower.....Cheese, I love cheese and can only buy in 2lb blocks here. I also dream about cheese!!! foodfighter......Chocolate at certain times has been the downfall for me. Why is it impossible to have only one bite. Sorry about your binge but very happy to hear that your first day at work went okay, well done on staying away from the vending machines!!!! Non my kids made school today, just over tired!! Will try and get on later Jackie |
Good morning. I (mostly) made it through the week. I admit I caved yesterday, but Considering what I've gone through this week--dentist, among other things--I'm surprised I didn't cave earlier. It helped that I exercised well this week--not great, but well enough.
Today is treat day, and my plan is to stick to the allotted treat and no more than the allotted treat. blueflower--I also love cheese (but not more than chocolate). Maybe you should cut it up into smaller portions and freeze the portions individually. You won't feel guilty about wasting it, you can pull out a portion at a time, and it is a lot harder to binge on frozen cheese. Most cheeses freeze just fine--be sure to wrap it well, or vacuum seal it if you can. (I do this to my C*stco cheeses.) I'm off to exercise, and pleased to say, I'm looking forward to it. |
Cindy - Right there with ya - getting back into the habit of posting has been difficult. I like the idea of making this the homepage. I also found that Subscribing to the thread was a helpful reminder.
dancer - uh, yeah ... c25k not so good yet. :) I'm getting a nasty addiction out of the way. I have a weakness for puzzle games, and I made the mistake of buying Picross for my son's Nintendo DS. I should not have picked it up. I'm two levels away from finishing the entire game, and I decided I was just going to do it. I cannot tell you how many hours of lost sleep and productivity have been fed to this silly game. Geesh! Annie - good for you confronting the coworker. I hope the issues are over! Some people just are reactive, like little amoebas - they don't stop to consider why they do what they do, or the consequences that might come as a result. Forgivable in a young child, but a so-called health care professional? News! Today we're adopting an American Fuzzy Lop bunny! I've never fallen so hard for an animal. He was the resident rabbit at my son's school daycare, and we hosted him for 3 weeks in July. I guess we spoiled him with too much love, attention, exercise, and fresh garden treats, because after we returned him, he got moody, shed up a storm, and began to bite. So the only responsible thing to do was to offer to keep him permanently. We spent last night re-bunnyproofing the living room. I am so excited! :D |
OK, so maybe yesterday wasnt the best day for everyone... :hug:
Back on the wagon? Happy Friday? :) I had wine last night, I'd not been drinking at all during the week but I gave in last night with very little fight. I'd been drinking a LOT of my calories, including a full gallon of 2% milk a week!, so liquid calories are big on my hit list. It's a TON better than it used to be, but I'm calling that a fail. I'm doing a tasting/judging at a beer event tonight, so I'll mostly starve and drink hot tea all day today, then have a big meal before hand, otherwise I'd get too tipsy. I think I can still make it a calorie neutral day. Two nights in a row w/o any nightsweats/hot flashes... calling that a major win. I can tell that I eat better after I've had a full nights sleep. I'm doing early Meno, so the sweats/insomnia have really messed me up. Only got 2-3 hours of sleep Sun-Wed of this week :mad: Everyone hang tuff! :smug: |
Hi everyone, we had a great Labor Day weekend, but by Tuesday night there was no doubt what so ever that I have the flu. Bad case of the flu. So I am just stopping by to wish everyone a good weekend, and when I come back from my near dead state I will be back.
I promise I did not breathe on the keyboard or the screen, any precaution that I could take - would hate for you all to catch any germs. :D |
onaboat - so sorry about your flu - that's the worst. Lots of clear soup, tea with lemon and popsicles are my flu remedy. Feel better soon!
blueflower - you are brave to be a beer judge - I know I'd have a hard time with temptation at an event like that. ICU - congrats on the new family member! I love the idea of you playing video games with a bunny on your lap. Are they cuddly or pretty independent? jackiechan - sounds like it's a tough time right now. You may be different but I don't do well if I try to be too perfect at everything all at once - I'm bound to fail and to want to give up. If eating perfectly on plan and exercising like a mad woman seems too much to stick to right now with the other distractions in life, could you make some small incremental changes that you could completely live with? Like only buying a small bar of chocolate instead of a bag? Or committing to going for a walk 3x/wk? kitteh - so what's your 'allotted treat'? We all have such different weaknesses - I'm curious what you save up your calories for ;) heading out for a lunchtime run but a little nervously as I've mainly been walking this week and haven't run since Sunday which seems like a really long time ago. yikes! Hope you all are doing great... |
Yep, but I need to work my beer calories into my lifestyle. I'm a beer geek, and I've always wanted to do judging. I've only judged a few events, I'm an 'apprentice', but it's fun as **** and I occasionally even get paid for it! :D
|
Hi Chickettes
Blueflower - you're a beer judge? That's very cool! Are the beers you like best the best beers, or do you have to recognise that some are 'good' even though you wouldn't choose to drink them? And my other question is, is there a correlation between good beer and expensive beer, or not? Dee - sorry to hear about the flu. That's no fun, get well soon! ICU - lol on your Picross addiction. Got to the next level yet?! Got another q for you too - will you post a bunny picture for us? I'm a total sucker for anything fluffy. Great to hear he'll be a house-rabbit. dancerindever - how was your run? People who don't run won't understand the drama about missing a week! It isn't a drama really, but i totally understand how you feel. I just did my first running race of the year this morning! I know, September is a bit late in the year for getting started! 8km, which was 2 laps of a riverside track. Beautiful weather. Did it in just under 45min which is slow by running standards, but then i am slow, so i was happy with it! I enjoyed it so much i'm now planning to do another one in about 4 weeks time (which is just round the corner from my house so it would be rude not to enter that one). Except it's hilly and 10km so i need to up the training! |
Bad pound cake, bad!
Jackie, I can totally relate to this:
Quote:
Congrats to the runners, and hope the beer tasting went well, blueflower. I am also going through the 'pause, and have horrible night sweats and days sweats and hot flashes like crazy, and I noticed that they are worse when I eat a lot of sugar! Think there's a connection? Anyway, per my caption, I made a pound cake yesterday, had it for dinner - what?!? I didn't eat the entire cake, yet. :devil: Yes, not a good day for FoodFighter2000. |
Wow, I can't reply to all the posts but I want to say that you are all doing great and take pride in that! :hug:
Welcome to the newcomers, this is a great place for support not to mention the comfort, the recipes, the healthy living tips and the encouragement! I stuck pretty much to plan this week, drank plenty of water, got some light but regular exercise and I am down to 218.5!!! :goodscale Bye-Bye 220's, good riddance. Have a great rest of the weekend everyone! :dancer: |
Just popping for a quickie ;)
Beckie--your bunny sounds adorable (and a bit headstrong about getting what he wants--prepare to be taken over). blueflower--those liquid calories really add up. That's why I try to only drink water, but I know some people would find that borrr-rinnng. (Personally, I like water, but I live in the PNW where we have good water.) My non-water choice of liquid calories is chocolate milk. Yeah, why do things by halves, when you can jump in with both feet. (Pardon my mixed metaphor.) Dee--sorry to hear you have the flu. Feel better soon. dancerindenver--my usual treat is a pair of bakery cookies--peanut butter cookie with bits of peanut butter cups baked in.:T Heaven! Alas, I strayed on Friday and overdid the treats.:ink: And then, all day yesterday, my subconscious kept piping up with, "Let's go get a treat." I had to keep remembering that I'm trying to eat better. Seriously, it kept slipping my mind! Something Freudian going on there.:dizzy: Today's challenge is dental in nature.:( I can hardly wait for the dentist's office to open tomorrow. That's saying something. Have a great Sunday, everybody. |
I'm back - going to read back a few pages. I was on/off while away. Some good choices, some not so good -- we took a nice walk each day so that was good. Tonight I have to do a 6 mile run...otherwise, just settling back into my regular schedule again.
|
Yvette, I'd recommend c25k - it's a great way to inch by inch increase your running...takes your lungs and legs into account and is where i started - i run slowly and focus on my core...my knees do not have a problem, but it's about finding a good stride and form to suit your body and not overdoing it...will keep your joints/legs healthier
Jaqueline - I'm sorry to hear about your daughter, that must have been an incredible thing to have to live through...((hugs))...blogging and learning about yourself is a very healing thing...you may also like books by Kaye Sheppard which discuss food addiction Annie, how fun about finding the apple tree - wow, that was really cold and immature of your coworker...I'd have been frustrated with that -- I love what you wrote here: "It is so encouraging to see so many women wanting to reclaim their bodies and their health! WOW!" Welcome CGracia, Samantha and Joplin Maddie- congrats on the losses - you're doing great Becky/MomofBoys- hang in there, just take it one day at a time and know you're trying to be healthier, and maybe focus on that instead of weight right now - baby steps Kathi- look at how good you felt inside...look at the progress you've made in eating healthier..look at the positives, focus on the good (hugs) Becky/ICU- yeah for a great sticking point...and being lower than you were last year - that's where I'm at...instead of getting obsessive about it, I know that one year ago I weighed more..and today i'm healthier - enjoy your bunny!!! Blue- enjoy your tasting/judging and yeah for no hot flashes Nan- glad to have you wth us...you can do this! Time to check in and be accountable - don't give up Dancer- glad you're enjoying your walks. We took a few down at the shore - and it was lovely Cindy - I have to reform the habit of checking in too...it was so automatic for awhile, and now i go...oh yeah! 3fc Jackie- sometimes i get frustrated thinking about food/exercise a lot...and i just go...ahhhh, forget it for awhile. sometimes that break is just what i need to get remotivated - i hope it helps you Dee, sorry to hear about the flu Ange- yeah on your race! my race is coming up (half in 3 weeks, and i'll show you what slow is ;) haaaa, old people walk faster than i run...like pokey slow - i still smile, because i can keep going) - GO!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck with your 10k also somewhere a food journal was mentioned...i forget where - sparkpeople.com has good free food journaling... |
Great to see so many posts while I was gone! I find this group so supportive,even when you feel like you've had a really bad day, there is someone who tells you to pick yourself off and start again. :hug:
My cyst drained on its own (hallejujah!) so no doctor but I am on antibiotics for the next 10 days. That is playing havoc with my anti-candida as the meds kill all the good stuff in your body as well...so...I am popping extra probiotics,taking garlic oil supplements and tomorrow I will start some oil of oregano. I will say I am feeling incredibly better than I have for a long time.My only problem is I'm starting to turn into a reformed not so healthy person....kind like a reformed smoker once they've quit. Still not missing carbs at all and trying to get up to 1200 daily calories...it's hard when you only eat nuts,seeds,meat and veggies. Never thought those words would come out of my mouth..."trying to get up to 1200" Maddie |
Good Monday morning.
I'm running late, so really fast--I didn't eat so great this weekend, but I packed my food for work with care today, so I hope I will stay on track. I'm off to exercise, now. Have a great day, everyone. |
Hello friends!! I didn't do any posting this weekend. It was a wonderful time at home with my boys. GORGEOUS day on Saturday that included a win by my Sooners!! Had a lovely rainy morning yesterday and made pancakes for the boys. I ate too many myself and ate other things I wish I hadn't, but today is a new day and I'm back on track. Here's the biggest news....
I BOUGHT 3 PAIRS OF SIZE 12 PETITE JEANS!!!!:D So, so excited about that! I tried on a 10 petite and could get them on, but they were not comfortable. I'm hoping by the time I get to goal that a 10 will fit and be comfy then. Ange said: "... planning to do another one in about 4 weeks time (which is just round the corner from my house so it would be rude not to enter that one)." That made me smile! So proper of you, Ange. Seriously, you and the others that run for fitness are awesome! I've never been a runner myself and I can appreciate how hard it is. Keep it up!! Foodfighter-I hope you were able to resist the rest of the pound cake...it's called that for a reason.;) Hydra-Congrats on going "down"!! Kitteh-Yep, I hear that "let's go get a treat" voice sometimes, too. Luckily not as often as I used to.:) Hope you are able to get in to the dentist quickly. I've had dental issues and I know it is NO fun. Good job on getting the exercise in first thing this morning. I have to do that myself because I know I probably won't do it later. Deb-I meant to tell you that I am so glad you are back to posting with us. I missed you!:hug: You are such an inspiration also with your running. Maddie-I hate taking antibiotics, too. I always ask for a dose of diflucan to go with it because I always get a yeast infection from them. I have started taking acidophilus daily in an effort to keep myself from getting them, too. It seems to be working. Everyone else-Hope this week is a happy and healthy one for you all! |
Annie, congrats on your jeans!!! and thanks for the kind words.
|
annie - woohoo for skinny jeans! Just curious - do you ever buy the next size down (as well as what fits you now) when something's on super super sale as a motivator? I didn't do that at first as I had a whole closetful of clothes that were too small that I could work my way through but I've been doing it lately as I'm at the bottom of the range of clothes I kept.
hydra - way to go on making it to the next decade! maddie - so impressed still with your carb discipline. Glad you didn't have to have anything too painful done after all. lambchop - good for you for getting in those walks - it can make such a difference. I ended up being sort of under the weather for most of the weekend (and not eating so well as some kind of a pity party reaction I guess) but am hoping to get fully back on the wagon this week. Anyone want to join me for sticking to POP Mon-Fri? |
Hi everyone I am starting to feel human again, I am trying to catch up on everything in between naps & zoning out. Hopefully will feel like staying up a little more this afternoon & can get caught up on things.
Annie I really didn't want your Sooners to win, but I do have to admit they deserved to win Saturday. :D (yes I am a big FSU fan) Everyone have a good day. |
Size 12P's :hug:
I'm dreaming of 12's... threw away the 16's a few months, really tired of these 14 :( Quote:
I do have to judge beers that I do not like, but you judge them to their 'Style' and how they rate compared to others of their style, although I'd never drink them. I don't like lagers, pilsners, or smoked beers, although I can judge them appropriately. And you can find a Fantastic beer in most any style, in any price range, depending where you live. There are some wonderful, local and foreign beers that are reasonably priced, and there are some more expensive, luscious ales. If I'm introducing beer to newbies, I go for the less expensive stuff till I can understand their taste, while a pro is really going to appreciate rarer, more expensive offering. Know your audience :p Quote:
My first YOGA class in years is tomorrow night with my diet buddy. I'm very excited about that. I broke out my book and tried some basic yoga stuff that I used to do all of the time and ~ WOW ~ am I out of shape!! :mad: I've had vertigo for a few years now (Dr's don't know why) so some of those 'tilt your head backwards' stuff made me nauseous. I had some swollen tendons in my wrists that I thought was gone, but no, putting all of my weight on my wrists hurt. I'm going to to it, though, it WILL be a slow process. Still at 180... no movement. Hope everyone has a good, productive week! :) |
Bunny pics will follow shortly. I've got a BAD case of bunny love at the moment!
I achieved my goal about eating all the junk that I won't be seeing again for a long time (and then only under tightly controlled conditions). And did declare my intentions to the family. Today I'm detoxing. I WILL get out for the Week 1, workout 1 on c25k tonight, and I will report back here after I do it, so I can be "in the game" with the rest of you, trying hard and having successes! |
Dancer-I've never bought anything intentionally smaller....don't want to jinx myself.;) Sounds like you were one of the many sick ones lately. Hope you are feeling better.
IOAB-Don't ya just love college football?:D Glad you are feeling better! BlueFlower-Yikes, another sicko?? Good luck with the yoga!! ICU-"tightly controlled conditions" Love it!! Intentions declared and detoxing....so noble of you!;) You are doing great! Good luck on the c25k!! No one better breathe on me and make me sick...cue shifty-eyed smiley....I can't get sick right now!! I am about to strangle my handy man. Though he is handy and reasonable on price....he is not very worried about getting work done when I want it done. I may have to find someone else. I have been waiting on my storm door to be installed at my house for over 1 1/2 weeks.:mad: |

I get hungrier at night if I havent had a GOOD amount of water by at least 7pm... I start craving liquid calories. Hope this week is going better for you! :) |
lambchop: thank you for the hugs and support - also the reading suggestion, I will look up that author.
Also, Annie, congrats! on the 12's! I was able to get most of the pound cake in the freezer, thinking out of sight, out of mind, and it seems to be working. Now, though, I'm up against the banana bread - had overripe bananas and couldn't waste them, being the frugal hausfrau that I am.... Blueflower - good luck and go slow with your yoga, vertigo is nothing to take lightly. Hang in with your 180 plateau, it's only temporary....:) Bad news for me: 2 lb loss on the scale, but my clothes again are not fitting, and now have to go up from 12 pants to ? Back to the thrift store tomorrow, crying inside.:?: |
Jacqueline...hugs from here! Even though your clothes aren't fitting, is it water gain? I know that when it is really humid I will hold onto extra weight and onces the humidity goes down...so does the extra weight. I hear ya about not wanting to waste any food. And before I started on this diet the bloody things would STILL call to me from the freezer....Maddie...we'd taste yummy with a cup of tea...come get us.... :(
I found another group on 3FC and they are not eating any carbs (primal diet) and I am doing that diet inadvertently with my anti-candida...so I think I'm going to be switching back and forth. They have some awesome ideas and recipes that fit in perfectly with what I can eat. OH! and check out the new siggie....AND weight loss. I am down a total of 9.2 pounds in 3 weeks. woohoo!!!! :) |
Good morning.
I did great yesterday--exercised and ate to plan--until I ended up staying 2 extra hours at work and was so hungry I stopped at the store and bought my dinner. And not such a healthy dinner, either. Sigh. And then my scale showed a pound lost this morning! That aggravates me --sometimes I eat wrong and lose, then other times eat right and gain!? I'd like some predictability. Annie--congrats on the size 12s. MaddieD--Wow! Way to go on the weight loss. Got my food packed, and I'm off to exercise. |
Hey gang! Feeling terrible today. I suspect menopause is starting for me (:mad:). I had not had TOM for about 3 months (I've always been regular, like clockwork), just some spotting. It started Sunday evening and last night I woke up literally hemorrhaging....ugh. Had to put things in the washer, etc. I laid there and felt so weak and terrible. Wasn't sure I would be able to work today, but I'm here and feeling a bit better. I sure as heck did not get up to exercise today, but I don't feel too guilty about that. It is rare that I don't. I'll get back to it tomorrow. Isn't womanhood lovely....:mad:
In other news: I am very frustrated with my so-called "handy man". He was recommended by my realtor and he did some work for me after I bought the house. I ordered a storm door and it has been at the store, ready to go, for almost two weeks. He finally came to get the receipt (so he could pick it up in his truck) and go over a couple of other things last Thursday and said he would come do the storm door, etc. or Saturday or yesterday. He did not come Saturday. Called him and he told me he would come yesterday. He did not come or call me. If he doesn't call me or show up today, I am calling him and asking for my receipt back and that I will hire someone else. I am fed up with it. I spent $300 on the storm door and have really been excited to get it installed. I love being able to leave the front door open almost all year long and I want to be able to do that at my new house. I suppose I am just grumpy, but he doesn't seem to really want my business. Even if he does get the work done, I won't use him again. FoodFighter-Don't get too discouraged. A 2 lb. loss is awesome, your pants size should catch up soon enough. I am happy that at a more normal size that I will be able to shop at thrift and consignment stores for things. I never could find much in my size when I was bigger. Maddie-Congrat on the 9 lbs.!!:carrot: Kitteh-I've had the same thing happen to me with eating the wrong things and still losing weight. Just don't get too comfy with it...stick to your plan and it will come off even faster! Not sure what I am fixing for supper tonight. Have a couple of options and none sound really good to me right now. I do have some frozen chicken strips....could steam some green beans, maybe mash some potatoes....we'll see... |
annie - yay on the new pants!
blue - If you were to start a beer thread, I'd be there! I'm just a consumer, however ... I can describe what I like! My faves are IPAs, and whatever the sun can't shine through (stouts, porters). kitteh - Been there. The scale works in mysterious ways. Marie used to call it the "random number generator." Well ... I did indeed get out and do workout 1. I took DS11 with me, and it was reasonably quick and painless. Fall in Michigan is such an awesome time of year! And the detox is working - 2.5 lbs of bad-food bloat (1 to go) is gone. |
Gee, Annie... :(
I HATE CONTRACTORS... I swear, they must all be alcoholics (minimum) they make me CRAZY! I cant tell you how many hours of my life I've lost waiting on :censored: contractors! We've been remodeling our house since 2008 and miles to go. Like one out of ten will show up when they say they will. Very sorry you are having to go through that :mad: Ditto on the meno... I'm on night #3 of no sleep... I just lay in bed and sweat all night. Shoot me. :faint: My diet has gone to ****, need to do some actual grocery shopping :( Yoga class tonight, so that's good! Everyone hang tuff :dizzy: |
OK, NO TB TODAY! (tacohell)
:coach: NO TB NO TB NO TB I have motive and opportunity.... :coach: NO TB! Not gonna do it! :tantrum: |
OK, disaster averted.
Drove right past it. I have one right by my office, and another one right by my house :tantrum: |
Hi! My name is Terry, and I've been more of a lurker than a poster. I started Weight Watchers today - hopefully for the last time! I turn 48 on Thursday, I'm married and have a 7-1/2 year old daugther. I just don't want to be in the same shape and having this same conversation next year. I've put on quite a bit of weight - I actually didn't even look at the number when she gave me my book back after weighing in. I'm hoping that by doing more posting and less lurking that I'll have better success. Thanks!
|
madeleine's mom - welcome! If you stick with your plan and 3FC, next year could have a whole new look! I know exactly what you mean - I was tired of having the same conversations with myself too.
blueflower - WTG on avoiding taco bell!! annie - my sympathies with your contractor woes. My working hypothesis is that people who are really really good at scheduling and time management don't go into construction. Hang in there! ;) ICU - congrats on day 1 - love that you're doing it with your son. What a great thing to do together! I took my 16-yr-old nephew for my usual 3 mile loop around the park when he came over for a sleepover earlier this summer and we had a great time. So far so good today. Great run this morning, sticking to plan foodwise, friends coming over for a healthy dinner in a little bit. Hope you all are doing great! |
