OK - the meltdown finally happened. This week, Donald was hospitalized (Sunday), I punctured my hand (Thursday), I went to the ER (Friday & Saturday), Donald fell & we had to get 911 to get him off the floor (Sat), I scraped my car against the garage door (Friday), and we had no electricity today for most of the day.

I finally broke down this afternoon - ate pizza (3 slices), ice cream cone, and cookies (8).

Now, I'm going back to my original Challenge Goal this week.

1. From Jan 2nd - Jan 31st I am going to plan my meals the night before & then eat what I have planned.

2. I will eat at least 3 vegetables and at least 1 fruit/day.

3. I will eat/drink at least 2 portions of calcium/day.

4. I will weigh myself each day and record it in my Weight Commander tracker.

Hopefully, I will have a boring week coming my way.

I highly recommend a good bottle of wine! It always makes me feel better! lol

Oh wow Lynn, I hope this up coming week is much better for you guys!!

Lynn,

No worries. We all fall off the wagon from time to time. Just pick yourself up and get back OP (and it looks like that is what you are doing)!

I am so sorry to hear about your week. It does sound stressful. I hope you have a better one this week.

Thank you. I feel much better - just needed some "poor babies."

I go with the bottle of wine!!!

Sometimes we need to do things like that, so you did it and I hope you enjoyed every single bite. But Anita's right just get right back on track and any damage done will be lost quickly.

We got a big gift basket from one of our customers and it is sitting on my kitchen counter full of cookies, candy. Tomorrow I am putting it away out of site. My daughter & her family are coming in 4 wks. and I will save it for them, they will eat it.

It's hard sometimes.....just move on.

Yest another vote for the wine...

Lynn - sometimes this stuff happens... Dust yourself off and carry on... Do not beat yourself up! You did better than most would have with that week - you better believe it!

Yes, go for the wine!

I fall all the time. One of my favorite sayings is you only fail if you stay down. You already have a plan, and that makes you a success!!!! Keep up the good work.

Wow what a week...I hope it will be calm for you this week...you need it!!!
Hope Donald is doing well...Take care of yourself too!! OP this week we can do it!!!

Lynn, I am so sorry your week was tough!! This week has to be better!! How is Donald doing now? How is your hand?

I opt for the wine, myself (hehe).

Donald is doing well - he had to stay in bed yesterday bc of no electric & new aid, but he's in the LR today & happy.

My hand is sore, but not infected. The antibiotic was making me sick. Saw my Dr. this morning for my wi. He said I can stop the meds - yay!

Everything is fine. I just needed some hugs - which, of course, I got here.

Teri, are you still at 172? I thought you were at 170?

Lynn

I was at 170 on Saturday morning. Then I weighed in this morning and I was at 170.5, so 1/2 pound snuck in there!! I need to change my tracker - will do that right now.

How did you do - did you make it to 169?

I haven't had a chance to read all the posts. I'm working on it

I'm was at 169.6 yesterday. At 168 this morning. I don't know why my tracker shows up sometimes but not others.

It is probably an admin setting on the board - if the post is over so many characters then it will post the siggie - or maybe it only posts it the first time in a thread?

Either way this is a setting usually chosen for the sake of saving memory space on the server. YOu can always look at someone's ticker by clicking on their name above their avatar!
