For yesterday. Too tired to post again when i got home. Good first night of class though. Hurray for days logged for all of us. Woo hoo Michelle, how did your appointments go? What's the word?

Have a good day all.

Happy to see everyone doing so well!

I had a great day today, where things just seemed to fall into place - chiro fit me into a last-minute cancellation, oncologist was at the hospital when the rads tech needed him in to consult, $ refund received!!! AND I've been keeping on track -- I'm especially pleased with #4; I can already see it's making a big difference!

Hey all. Hope things are going ok Red. SeaWave, glad you had a great day. And glad your challenges are going so well too.

Had a stressful situation at work today. And the first thing I thought when I got done with the immediate issue was "I wanna eat!!" I talked myself out of it, but gosh darn it. when will that not pop as an option for me? Will I always have to watch out for that trap??

But, I did not use it as an excuse to eat food I don't need. Iguess that is the most important thing. Today, I decided to eat for fuel, and not for therapy.

Have a good one all.

Hi all. Just posting quick now, in case I dn't have time tonight. I am going to a 75th birthday party for my friend's dad. Should be very cool - he is a nice guy.

Had a nice loss this week. Trying to celebrate that, and not think about how far yet I have to go. Hard to do though.

Have a great weekend everyone

Thnks Red. I know you are right. Part of it is me borrowing trouble. I am already worrying about when I won't be able to talk myself out of it. Which isn't good or helpful.

Have a good one all.

Jolly - The power of resistance - you've got it! And "eat for fuel, and not for therapy" -- I'm making a sign for my fridge door.

Red -How did you know I like Van Morrison? (looks around suspisciously for that fly on the wall...)

battled through another day...start of a long week, I'm afraid. But I mustn't think of it that way. Just take each bit and focus on that and that alone. Got to be strong but the endless days of heat are really getting to me.

No Smoking Challenge Day 13 completed 3 pauses taken
No Booze Challenge Day 14 completed 2 pauses taken
No Sugar Challenge Day 14 completed 3 pauses taken

jolly, you'll be ok! SeaWave, glad you liked it!!

Hey all. I too battled through another day, and have the wrong mindset for the upcoming week. I have an unemployment hearing tomorrow, with a high ugliness potential. Red, I am sending positive vibes your way, if you have some to spare for me.

SeaWave, big to you. glad you are trucking along and doing well.

Until tomorrow all.
