Free - oops, didn't see your post! I think I'm resigned to going to my meeting. I'm mentally preparing myself for a gain, and I'm also mentally preparing myself for a loss next week after I've been back OP Pad Thai is pretty much just rice noodles with sauce, a chopped egg mixed in, bean sprouts, and ground peanuts. Sometimes there's another meat on top like chicken. There's also usually chopped green onion too. It sounds weird but it is SO tasty. glad to hear about your WI, too!!
Suite - so glad to hear you have nice weather! Ours is ... well, terrible. It seems to have stopped raining but it's still pretty overcast. Your party in the park sounds like a great way to spend some time with people in your office and to celebrate the weekend and the first day of the season I'm glad you put the pills away. I know thoughts like 'how much easier would it be to lose weight if I just took a laxative?' have crossed my mind before but thankfully have I never resorted to that either. Now that we all know how to healthily lose weight, why do it any other way? That's an NSV for you right there - you didn't succumb to some kind of artificial means! I'm sure your weigh in will be fine, or at least not as bad as you think, and next week is always a new week!

morning all! WOW had some crazy storms last night! the tornado sirens went off twice! tons of rain and hail as big as baseballs! My DH is out of town so I was home alone which made it even scarier! but today is a ne day and the sun is shining! yeah!! hope everyone has a great day!
confession:
i ate a whopper on the way to jersey. do you know how many points that is? 19! and i'm even kinda lying to myself bc i had it with bacon and i didn't count the bacon, so that is ALL my day's points in one nasty sandwich!
well, i am approaching a huge dinner tomorrow and have already exceeded my weekly FPs by 8. I'm running my 5K tomorrow morning, and then I'm going to try try try to only eat veggies and some protein at the seder tomorrow. I don't see good things for this week's WI, though.
Yay! 5K done! 32ish min, I think. Forgot to look at the clock as I passed the finish line.
But now my knee is killing me and so I'm going to go shopping instead of going to the gym as I'd planned. Whatever. I ran a 5K today!
One last thing -- my parents drink tap water. that would be fine, I'm really not that picky, but the water here is NASTY. So I'm not getting enough water. I've finally convinced my mom to get a Brita, but she doesn't have it yet. I changed my WI to Thursday from Mon, so hopefully that gives me the edge this week!
.........Butterfly: Yes I drink tonnnns of water! That is all I drink, no juice, no soda, nothing except tea without sugar once in a while. That's why I am saying it is so depressing because I think that I am doing everything, and the weight is still not coming off. I drink around 150 ounces of water a day...and that's just average. A lot of times I go above that when I am working out or if it is hot outside. I also am pretty active during the day with walking all over my school's campus, walking up and down stairs, etc.
~Well it is 1045 am, and I have to leave at 1130am...so I guess I better get in the shower!!!
I will probably work out today since I think I am going to be skipping my night class!
Dear Vday baby,
you are amazing to drink THAT much water. You should be VERY, VERY proud of yourself indeed!
I wanna be like you shoot!
Keep UP the good work sweetie and soon you will see the results you want to see angel.
....To everyone about the "gassy" problems - I've noticed it too. I am drinking a lot more water than I used to but I've also noticed my stomach makes a lot more noise than it used to as well. I was sitting in a lecture today and my stomach growled so loud that the girl two chairs over from me turned and smiled and all I could do was go "ah... hehehe" and blush and smile too. Ack, embarassing!
I wanted to be down to 145 by the end of May, but I've readjusted my goal to 150. I am still afraid I may not make that though. It seems like I go through periods of strong resolution and those of really weak, who-cares-what-happens moods. TOM is on its way, so I think my recent craving for sweet stuff will probably disappear in a few days, and the constant weariness from the jet lag is keeping me from exercising (though I did walk an extra 15 mins to the other school campus and back today to try and make some sort of effort). I am so scared that I will put the weight back on before my holiday in Spain if I continue like this. I am still within my points for the week, but I've used half my flex points in two days and worry about the rest of the week. Agh, I know I can do this, so why am I doubting myself now? Please don't mind me, I must just be tired.
Hope everyone is having a great week! Here's a dancing carrot for all of you that are staying on plan, drinking lots of water, and looooooosing!
hi freedom,
sorry about the stomach growling at the lecture
I am so proud of you for setting goals for yourself.
