Is there anybody else here who'd like to have a "place to go" during the Weekends? It seems it can get kinda quiet on the boards just when some of us could use a pep talk or a quick post just to keep our grip.
So I'm tossing this thread out there for a while to see if there are any takers. Just a place to drop in on a Saturday or Sunday for those of us trying to fight the good fight between dinner dates or BB-Q's or other Weekend Pitfalls!
Got up and out early today-put 3800 steps on the pedometer walking the doggies. Glad that's done, cuz it's a busy day. There are costumes to make and a party to get to [wearing the costume!]
Trying to focus on what I need to do to stay in control at the party. Mostly it'll be hot dogs, candy, and cookies all over the place [it's a Church party for the kids in the Parish so the food is kid food]. None of that seems too tempting at this point.
I think a bowl of homemade chili before I get there should keep me on track.
Checkin in...
My cousins are coming for a kid/play/sleepover weekend. We will have a 4,2,2,2.5 and 1 year old. My house should be trashed and I have already had some kids snacks with it not yet being 7:30 am.
very versatile--- i myself do it not to stop any junk, but so that i dont starve bc im a very picky eater and i somketimes will eat little to nothing when i go somewhere bc i dont like the choices. so it helps that too.
Went to a halloween party last night - I did pretty darned well. I used about 10 flex points, but I had planned to allow myself about that many anyway.
I set my Weigh In for Monday cuz I am gonna stay on track this weekend! I don't have any special challenges other than the usual brunch with the in-laws on Sunday. Making sure I know what I'll order before I go and getting that doggy bag on the table to box up half of the meal even before I start.
My challenge to myself is to walk both days of the weekend. That's an improvement for me and I think I can manage it.
I'm here, too! I'm usually prowling around on the cptr on the wkends.. This wkend wl be a busy one though. My Mom wl be in town around noon-ish. Our church is sponsoring a concert tonight (over 500 guests!!!!) w/ a guest star Vickie Winans (I'm not sure if you all recognize her name). Mom is staying until Sun after church. SO, WITH THAT BEING SAID; I have to squeeze a workout in this morning (started a jog prog about a wk ago). I'm on workout #5 and counting. I'm used to cardio, but this is a brand new ball game.
So, wl checkin tomm and everyone have a great weekend.. Ipa, great determination. Let's squeeze those workouts in! Weekends are always harder even if you don't have anything planned d/t you want to rest because of a hard week...
It's Friday once again and time to fire up for the weekend. I have discovered that the food I eat during the weekend also has calories. Just like the food I eat during the week! Funny how I failed to believe that this long!
That said, I've scheduled a half hour walk for both Sat. and Sun.--and the usual doggy bag strategy at Sun. brunch. I have started a couple projects house stuff and some knitting to help keep my grubby little paws off the fridge. REALLY want to see a good weigh in Monday.
So drop in and keep me company while I try to behave tomorrow!
It's Saturday and we got another 30 min walk on thebooks for the weekend! I'm just itching to get to Monday Weigh In! I know it's gonna be a great one!!
Ipa, where have I been that I never noticed this post before? Glad to see someone else is here on the weekends, too! I never know when I'll hit the computer, but I usually do at least once a day, so glad to see you here too!
Saturday is my meeting/weigh in day, so I always jump on in the afternoon to change my tracker and update my stuff. Today was good! Down 3.2#, and optimistically thinking I may hit onderland by the end of the month, or at least by mid December...WOO HOO!
I started the thread for those of us who surf around on the weekend needing a little lift to keep on track--nice to see you here!
WOW--over 3 pounds DOWN!!!! That is fabulous! I know what you mean about wanting to break into onederland. For me it'll be heaven to break into the 130's--even by a teeny quarter pound.
Today I took my littlest dog for the longest walk of the week--we went 3 miles in 45 min. She runs circles around me every step of the way so she probably went 9 miles! Tomorrow is weigh in and I need to hold on to the plan through the evening and not snack out!
