  • Ok, I know I need help this weekend...

    The scale hasn't gone down yet this month and the month is coming fast to an end...

    I need to be accountable this weekend...
  • Another 8 lbs for me . . .
    . . .and ice cream season is about to start . I heard the tinkling of the truck somewhere in the neighbourhood today.

    I'm having take out tonite but it's Armenian food and I'm sticking to salads, grilled meat, and 1/2 of a pita. That shouldn't cause a lot of damage.

    Taking the "big dog" out for a walk this evening too - 30 minutes .

    And I'm right on track with my new workouts /yoga.

  • Ok...I'm ready for the weekend! I've already had my 3 glasses of wine for the week so NO BOOZE for the next 3 days.

    Sending out some for the Weekend Warriors!
  • No wine for me tonight either we are going out tomorrow night... I've biked and walked today, so some major calories were burned .... Food was good ...
  • hubby works in the restuarant business so weekends aren't that different for me...but I managed a pretty good weight workout today before I headed off to a Tastefully Simple party where I did NOT behave!! Drinks and snacks but it really took place of my dinner so hopefully it won't hurt me too bad.

    I've got 10mi on the schedule for tomorrow. I really hope I won't be resigned to the treadmill but that depends on dh...
  • Resisted "weekend whoopee"
    Friday night and DH and I were watching Battlestar Galactica. I'm not as invested in the series as he is but am keeping him company through it's last season.

    I really wanted to eat to stay awake and fend off boredom (5 minutes of a baby crying don't make for exciting viewing for me).

    Had some grapes, instead of all the starchy carby things my brain told me I wanted. And I weigh 132 this morning!!

    I really want to see that number on the scale on Monday so I'm SO motivated to stay OP.

    I'm sorta keeping a short term goal of under 130 in view for the first week of May.

  • Morning!
    This weekend could be 'all about health'! Dh is learning to use fitday, like the pt told him. I could make Ilene's pancakes. I'm on the hunt for freezer quantities of chicken and/or turkey. I've got flower beds that need me. I'd love to go to the gym for cardio.

    And ... I think we're going to meet DS's girlfriends parents !!!! This relationship is making this mama very happy!
  • sounds busy Susan!! I need to do some yardwork today too. And I may have agreed to build ds8 a tree fort
  • And now, all of a sudden, we're putting in a water conditioner too. Could a dishwasher be far behind!?!
  • damn there was just a 1am pig out attack, I'm pissed!

    Tomorrow is a new day and I will need a good *** kicking but I will run and I will stop the crap.
  • Briefly lost sight of the goal
    I had some problems yesterday. We went for our afternoon walk/snack and there was nothing except pastry/variations of same at the coffee shop. Not our usual place.

    Since it was hot out (for April) I had a skinny chiller instead of my usual tea. Compounded by a tea biscuit .

    And we went out for dinner. Made the right appetizer choice and had a bottle of mineral water instead of a glass of wine. But the entree could have been a lower calorie one .

    Will stay on track today as we're eating all meals at home and will hit the regular coffee shop for the walk/snack.

  • I like the positive spin Dagmar. I feel better today laready but seriously did I need to finish off the pasta leftovers AND the ice cream last night? Guess that's what I get for having it in the house LOL.

    Today it is pouring like mad so looks like I'll be running inside. I do need to have a good run since those have been few and far between too and I have a marathon sneaking up on me.
  • i'm just going to be a sunday warrior, because yesterday we celebrated my father's birthday and i won't go into details but naturally it involved tons of food. and not of the healthy persuasion.
  • a Sunday warrior is good

    DS4's first day fo football was rained out so instead of running I went to my xtreme strength class. Kick my sorry butt hard. He decided today would be a punishing leg day. So def wont' even attempt to run tonight. I need to rework my schedule for the next 12 days to get some decent running in.

    Eating has been good though. We are going out tonight but I left myself enough leeway to enjoy and be smart.
  • I am checking in Sunday night b/c I am out of calories and carbs and still nosh-y. Last night I did pretty well (or so I thought) pushed my plate away, quite satisfied. Then, bored (at dh's family reunion dinner with four crazy overtired little guys)-- I yanked that plate back in front of me and compulsively and guiltily finished it off. Thank goodness I had asked the waiter to bring only the very oily veggies not the potatoes. That and the gravy ladden more than 2 potions worth of pot roast.
    Today, I am on plan and actually pretty hungry still. I'll go drink some tea and more water.

    Thx for the will power dust. I'm going to use some.
