My life has been extremely difficult this past year, BUT, ya know what? I keep trying to make accomplishments for ME each and every day.
NOW, please don't misunderstand that I am always SUCCESS-ful. Cause I'm not. But I figure that each SUCCESS, no matter how small, IS a SUCCESS.
I am restarting the SUCCESS THREAD. I also went thru a period of time that I could not post on a daily basis, so, there is absolutely no one to blame for the thread to some what fall by the way side.
But I also have no one to blame BUT MYSELF if I am not SUCCESS-ful with my own daily goals. I have been OP for the last few days -- I feel myself wanting to fall today due to nothing more than horrible, horrible stress. I know that my friends will be with me to help.
Goal ~~ One day at a time
Meals-
B-3 oz chicken and 1 cheese slice - 3 decag
L-3 oz chicken
D-fajita salad // avacado salad// water
Excercise- None, unfortunately
Even if no one else feels the "need" to join me ~~ I stay motivated with this.
I'm not sure what I'll be posting but I sure need this.
Got up this a.m. to a 2.5 GAIN and am very discouraged although I know it is water! Today I am going to drink drink drink drink - until about 5 p.m. when I quit because of my music recital tonight!
I won't be posting menus because I am not virgin low-carb and the sight of fruit and milk and bread may be too tempting to the Atkins folk. Basically I am following WW with very low carb choices - only whole wheat grains and no sugars.
Tomorrow I will have my furry baby back and will aim for a walk a day - not just behind the barn but down to the lake or bridge or park. We have matching red coats so will also be making a fashion statement!
I started off positive (and still am) BUT .... each morning my next door granddaughter walks over for her gammy to feed her breakfast before day care. This morning the little darling wouldn't eat a thing unless gammy took a bite, so, one not OP bite shouldn't do too much damage? I hope.
B-3 decaf - slice of cheese (and the baby bite)
L-plan - salad w/ chicken
D-plan - steak, salad & 1/2 b potato
My goal for today is just to make it through the day without letting my stress send me into a tail spin of poor eating! Those chips and salsa sure were calling my name last night! I can resist!
And, I am going to do something for just ME. I don't know what yet, but I need to remind myself that I count too.
Ruth, I'm like you. I don't really know what I'm going to type other than my menus (as it helps me be accountable) and maybe a bit of open book journaling?
This weekend I'm doomed I know it. I have a Christmas party tomorrow and the baby is getting baptized on Sunday which afterwards is a party......OY VEY!
I'll try to be good inbetween and watch but you know how that is lol.
Mamaj......you go girl.....gotta give yourself credit, you are very strong...stronger than you think.
Ruthie.....hang in there, one day we will all get this eating stuff right and we will be happier.
OR should we be happy before we get this eating stuff......hey maybe thats our problem huh ??
Well girls off to the store for some party stuff.
Have a wonderful day !!!!!!!!!
Love Yah's .....Leens
Leens~You go girl! Ok, I must admit two parties in one weekend is tuff, but YOU CAN DO THIS.
Just pick the wisest of LC choices! Think of how good you are going to feel! Ummm, are they having chicken wings? salad? cheese? cheese and crackers? Are you doing CAD ( sorry, can't remember). But you must remember protein, veggies and carb balance! You CAN DO THIS!!
I'm no longer going to ww meetings on fridays....I am out of coupons and I never stay for the meetings and have been gaining and losing the same 0.8 lbs since June...need to try something different...mind if I hook up with the low carb gang? Worst thing that can happen is I have to rejoin ww...so hope you don't mind but I'm crashing the low carb board so hello ...Liz in Canada
I am just learning to FLY so my success is that my kitchen sink is clean!!! LOL
I also sent the DH and DS1 off for the weekend to grandmas to hunt (DS1 is going to eat at grandmas may go out with DH for a few hours tomorow as he is only 8 but does want to expetience what his father does)
I'm afraid the extent of my exercise today will be up and down the attic stairs to bring all the Christmas boxes down.
My daily goal is to take some form of ME time. I believe that today it will be a nice soothing oil bath this evening.
Also, I am determined to at least start the holidy decorating inside the house.
