Hi all,

Sorry I haven't been here all weekend. I just posted on all the boards to catch up.
I had to go to a retirement party for my dad on friday night and I did terrible eating that day. We went to dinner afterward. We arrived at the resteraunt at 8pm and never got served our dinner until 10pm. They gave us a lot of food between that time though. I have never been to a place that gives you so many servings of food. But we had a lot of fun. It was all my family and my aunt. It was my aunts birthday so we celebrated her birthday as well. Needless to say I ate enough that night for the week. They also had auderves (spelling?) at the party before we went to dinner that I filled up on to.
Then on saturday We went and got our tree. It still isn't decorated. I was going to do it last night but it didn't work out. I got back on track yesterday with eating and did great.
Then today I had to go to a birthday party for my Mom, Nephew and Neice. I was so proud of myself. I did go to my parents house for breakfast and had 2 slices of bacon and 3 pancakes. Then I came home and left my daughter there to play with the cousins and did my 1 hour body sculpting video to burn off the pancakes. Then I went back down and while everyone was there for the party eating pizza and cake and ice cream I only had a can of pinnapples. I was so proud of myself. There were 5 2 cut pizza's there and I passed. It wasn't easy but I was determined to have a loss this week and knew I ate breakfast. Then when everyone was just about gone I was going to give in and have a pc of pizzal. Well my 3 year old reminded me that I couldn't have it because we were going tubing and I said you are right and thank you very much and I had a bannana instead to take care of the hunger. Then I came home had a hot cup of FF hot choc and made dinner and ate my one helping of that. I was so stuffed after I was through with dinner it was like I ate 3 helpings. I had extra veggies at dinner to. So over all I am so proud of myself for doing so well.
I am going to repeat that for the rest of the week so I can have a loss this week so I can go to the gym next week.

Well I am exhausted it has been a long weekend. We have our tree up but it is not decorated yet. We will do that tomorrow night. I also have decided that at the 5 lb loss mark I will get me some bubble bath. I am going to take a hot bath now and get warmed up. I am freezing and I am bundled in a blanket.LOL

Have a great night everyone and I will talk to you tomorrow.

I forgot to mention that I had a 2 lb loss over 3 weeks this past week at weigh in. I couldn't stay for the meeting because my husband decided to go out and not come home to watch my daughter. I was not happy but at least I weighed in so I know I will have a loss next week.

Hello Everyone!

Sheri, I am so glad you are back on track. I am rumbling around between 179 and 181. It makes me sick to know when I left here I was 171 or so. Well life goes on and I have to make the best of it. We can all do this together. We just have to hang in there! I am off to bed but I wish everyone a good night and a great day tomorrow! Penny

Well Ladies,

I have done terrible with my eating today. We had several friends drop over and of course they all brought goodies. Most of them don't realize that I am trying to lose, but they all felt that Phil could eat them all and then I wouldn't be tempted. FAT CHANCE!! Of course I had to have a taste of this and a taste of that. so back on track tomorrow.

Our hydro has been on and off all day and everytime I go to do something on the web off it goes. Oh well, some of the people on the island still don't have hydro. So I really shouldn't complain.

Well, I'll make this short so that I can be sure not to get cut off before I get to submit it.

Penny,

Well girl I am with you. I have gained back all my hard work also. I weighed in at 182 thursday. So I am looking for the scale to go down as well. Glad to hear you are back on track also. You are right we can do this together.

Myne,

You have the right frame of mind. Get back on track tomorrow. Don't ever give up and someday we will all be at goal. We can do this together.

Sherri
