Daily diary

  • Hello all! Yesterday was not so good. I work 2 jobs abd was suppose to have yesterday off from the 2nd one...well someone got sick and I had to go in. I didn't stick to my diet because I hadn't planned for a second no carb meal Away from my home, and after I got to work I was starved...so I ate carbs, and then when I finally got to go home...I ate some more. Ugh!! fauilure!~ I am so tired of having no willpower! I believe that TOM is coming. I think that has alot to do with my loss of will power.

    On the exercise front! I did not do so well either. It was after eight before I got home and after I fixed dinner, got all three of the kids in bed, I was exhausted and fell into bed too.

    I will work out tonight though. My son has Karate and I am going to go walk at the Hospital's fitness trail while he is at Karate. It's pretty cold here. I hope I can take it. If not, I will do some aerobic tapes that I have at home.

    As for the diet part I will try to be a good girl and stick with it. I know that to lose this weight I am going to have to diet better than I have been. Having support here helps.

    I believe I will focus on exercising for now and let the food part come. I know that when I am working out it gets easier to follow my diet, so I am going t try that. that's not saying I am giving up on the diet part...OH NOOOO....but I believe that part will come.

    Well guys thanks in advance for all your advice! I hope everyone has a good day today!
  • Hello Everyone...Yesterday again was a failure. I did not get to go walk yesterday...I had to go to the grocery store instead! My kids have to have food...but I did play "Catch me if you can" with my class at school, so I am sure that burned a few calories!

    The cravings were not so bad yesterday! I went to the store and got some Chromium. Hopefully that will help stop all this eating I have been doing.

    Tomorrow is my son's skating party for his birthday...so I will be on roller skates working muscles I forgot that I had! I will also be tempted by cake and junk food! Ahhh the double edged sword!

    I may not post for a few days...I do this at work, and I won't be here for 3 days! I may not have time to get to the computer at home...

    best of luck!
  • Meloday! Please don't consider a "slip" as a failure!!! Each OP bite is a SUCCESS!!! And another step closer to your personal goal!

    Please forgive me that I am behind in reading posts--I don't know (or understand) if you intend this thread to be your personal diary. If so, I don't mean to invade your privacy or intent!

    But with that said ~~~~ YOU GO GIRL! Please do not let one "forbidden" bite prevent you from being OP! Each one of us struggles minute tp minute, bite to bite!

    In my personal opinion ~~~ the lack of accomplishing personal excercise goals does not make you a failure either !!!! HEY !! You did physically walk thru the grocery also, right? Hopefully it was a brisk walk to get it over with --- (he-he-he) but is that not additional physical exercion? (ok-spell check here!)

    I just offer that if each day is an improvement over non LC days-you are one step closer! Hang in there girl!

  • I agree with janice. do not let one day let you down te next one will be better. with your schedule if you get 4/7 under your belt i think that you will be doing good. gosh i would be having many off days if idid that. HHHMMM i know that it is what got me this heavy in the first place. But atleast you are doing better than doing nothing at all!!
  • Hello Everyone....The chromium seems to be working my craving s are not as bad. Tomorrow will be my new start day...I will wipe the slate clean and begin again. This weekend was hectic...My significant other and I fought all weekend. We are buying a house, and all we did was fight over one thing or another.

    My son's birthday was fun. We skated and had a ball. My thighs were sore...I should do that more often....

    Thanks Sue and Janice for the advice! Keep it coming...

    Good luck and have a good day!
