Good morning everyone. Hope you all are having a great day.
Mama - Do look after those bites - voice of experience. I left some bites one time and ended up in the hospital. Somehow, I have developed an allergy to everything like that, so now must make sure I either don't get the bites in the first place, or tend to them immediately before they start to spread. Go see a doctor soon.
Ruth - Poor Hersh. I bet she is very lonely without Lucy...best thing to take her to sleep with you.
lc - Today is the day. You can get back on this program - you are so close to goal and need to get back on track before all the work you have done is lost. Ignore the sugar candies and concentrate on the rest of the day. You can rescue it.
cac - It is so hard to stay on Phase 1 for the 2 weeks, but you must do this. Do you look at your meal plans for the entire 2 weeks? Try to plan all your meals for the whole 2 weeks, have them firm in your mind and even make them in advance. Also, try not to arrange for meals out, or plan any restaurant eating. That may help you to be disciplined to staying OP for the entire 2 weeks. I know that, for me, I have to make sure that I do not go to places that will tempt me too much. We have several gift certificates to fine dining restaurants that DH keeps mentioning that we should use. I just tell him that I am not ready yet and will let him know when the time is right. For me, I know that is the only way that I can handle that situation. Hope things go well for you this time.
Jodi - Congrats for staying OP. A few more days and you will be through Phase 1. You can do this...and look, your weight is going down as a reward.
yaya - WTG on the exercise. I tried exercising in the morning, but could not sustain the discipline of getting up early. It must feel so good to know that you have accomplished that every day and don't keep thinking that it still must be done. Keep it up.
Lauren - WTG, girl. Halfway through phase 1. You can do this and the weight will come off. Great start.
Barb - Don't beat yourself up over the sweets, etc. at the office. Keep it in perspective - the manager comes but once a year, there are special treats in the office each day, and this is a planned indulgence...no guilt. Tomorrow is a new day and time enough to get back OP. Just be sure to discipline yourself to getting back OP and don't let it go too long. You can do it.
Me - There is nothing much going on with me today...just the cleanup to some problems yesterday. Stolen cars, crown prosecutor caught doing crack on our property
, 2 students had seizures, etc. Hope that today is more calm. One thing I would like to know is - Where does all this stuff come from, anyway? Well, gotta go, time to get to work.
Have a great day everyone, and remember stay OP.
