Not to worry Cat...today is a new day!! Its time to remember why you are doing this! Let that drive you to find that control again, I know you can do it! I hope today is a much better day for you! Go in prepared and you will succeed! You can do this! Keep you eye on the prize!

pssssst Cathy...you forgot to post your weigh in this week. LOL!

Good morning all! Hope everyone's day has started off great! Mine on the other hand has been chaotic! dd#3 was up sick allllll night long! I am so tired! Well on the positive side, she is the 3rd of the 4 girls to get sick, it is only a 24 hour stomach bug, so we are on the down hill side of all this!
I can't wait to see our first week results!
I feel I probably could have done better, but a 2 lb loss this far in the game for me I feel I shouldn't be too disappointed.
I am right there with ya Tina, my head is spinning from all the threads too! 1/2 the time I can't remember where to post what and when! I am trying to keep up tho!
I have to get back to my dd. I hope everyone has a great day!

Cathy, We are north of Ft. Worth in Keller. Not sure if you know where that is, but we are Just west of Grapevine. I really love living here, just not the biggest fan of the summer heat! Your Taco salad sounds really good! I opted out of fixing a mexican fiesta last night. Didn't feel like going to the store and ended up making what I had on hand. Have a good day!

Good Morning everyone!
Hope all is going well. I have been dealing with a very sick little boy the past few days so I haven't had much time to read or post. Was able to get exercise in so that was good. My son was goofing around last week with a friend and got hit in the mouth. Unfortunately this was the same tooth he broke and had to have a crown put on about 9 months ago. We looked at it after he got hit and everything seemed ok. It wasn't hurting him at the time. It just "felt funny." Friday night he woke us up crying that his tooth hurt. He is 10 years old so if he is crying there is something seriously wrong. Well there are no dentists around here open on Saturday so he was in pain all weekend. Got him in yesterday and it was a really bad infection. Poor thing has to have a root canal tomorrow. So hopefully everything goes ok.

As for me, I need to be better about staying OP. When I get stressed, I eat and this time was no different. However I did still exercise so at least that was one positive.

Any other stress eaters out there? Or does anyone have any tips for how to deal with it?

I hope everyone is having a good week!

I just went and did, sorry if that messes things up. Ya know when I went to do it on sunday morning, it wouldn't let me as they were updating the site and it said to come back in 30 min and I totally spaced.

Bless his little heart! Poor guy!

the cashier!! Kerry please don't let her stupidity take away from fantastic progress you've made on getting healthy. You're doing this!!!

Not to worry Cathy, it happens to the best of us! It'll just go towards next week thats all!

2 lbs is FANTASTIC!!!! You should be very proud of such an amazing loss!! Keep up the great work!

I'm sorry your little one is sick! I hope he gets to feeling better soon! Both mine went through it last week, I'm hoping thats if for the season! I tend to stress eat too and I haven't figured out how to turn that one around yet. I've still got this mindset that everything else might be in the crapper but at least I can eat good, and feed the family. Not sure why I get like that but it leads to my overeating when stressed.

Oh my do I know what you are talking about there!!! My oldest just turned 13, around 10-11 she was a monster! I'm surprised she made it to 13 LOL! You have my deepest sympathies! LOL!

Good Morning Red Team!

I started off my morning today with an hour of exercise. Yay!

Yesterday went well. DH survived playing "mom" and I wrote a chapter on my book/thesis. I planning to write more today, but DH is still in bed. I hope he's up to being "mom" again today.

Keep up the good work ladies!
