Hi Ladies,
I didn't do so good with my eating yesterday. We went to a memoral service and they had a dinner after with tons of food. And you know how it is, even though you just take a little of each thing there are so many dishes! I ended up with a big plate full and I ATE THE WHOLE THING, then to top it off they had all kinds of cakes, brownies, cookies etc and someone had made white cake with peanut butter frosting and of course I couldn't resist the peanut butter frosting so I had a little piece. And as if that wasn't bad enough, later in the evening we were at our sons house and my dil fixed some garlic bread. I just had to have two little pieces!
NOT A GOOD EATING DAY!
The only thing I did right was keeping to a very small piece of cake and very small pieces of garlic bread even though I would have liked more - maybe that at least was an accomplishment!
But today is a new day and I will do better! I will
Cat you are right, I will put the scale away and only use it on Friday at my official weigh in
I won't get on it until then.
I have thought of another idea too. In the winter I don't drink nearly as much water as I did this summer. Maybe if I start drinking more it will help with the weight loss. Starting this morning I will increase my water intake. I don't think it is good to drink an excessive amount, but certainly more then I am. What does everyone else think? I remember we kind of obsessed on that at first!
Pam it sounds like you have a good plan for your education and I know you will do it. It doesn't matter how long it takes. In five years you will still be five years older wheather you take the courses or not, so why not take them. I read that in "dear Abby" once when someone wrote in asking if Abby thought she was too old to go back to school. That was abbys answer! My dad only went to 9th grade and didn't graduate from high school. When he was in his 60s and retired one of his grandchildren went for his GED (equivalent to a high school deploma) so dad went with him for encouragement. I don't think the grandson ever did get it, but Dad did and he was so proud of himself he went on to college just to prove he could. He only went one term but he made the dean"s list. Moral - you can accomplish anything if you want it badly enough and it doesn't matter how old you are
THAT GOES FOR THIS WEIGHT LOSS TOO - WE ALL CAN DO IT
Has anyone played that new game "Cranium". We played that at my sons house last night and we had a ball. I think there are only supposed to be 4 players but we just divided everyone there into teams. At first there were 6 of us then my granddaughter and her boyfriend came in and later my grandson. I haven't laughed so much in years. Especially when my son acted out Marilyn Monroe for us to guess!
Hi to karie and anyone else I missed, I hope we all have an op day!
Exercise time, I have a date with the treadmill AT LEAST 1.9 MILES TODAY - MOVIN ON UP
