Good morning! Sort of a bummer title but I went way Off P last night. I was very annoyed over something and had potato salad with my supper. Sorry for the food porn. Today's another day though. It's great that we get a new one every 24 hours!
I won't comment about the weather. Gimme !!!
This afternoon I have a doctor's appointment and will buy myself some flowers when I'm there. That will be an incentive to get back on track. I have a course starting at 6:30 tonight so will have an early supper which I have already cooked and ready to be heated up - beef stew with lots of OP veggies!
What's happening around your Beach Towel this Tuesday morning?
I like today's Daily Chat title, Ruth, because it's exactly what I told myself last night! I've just been getting too darned lazy with my exercise and diet, and I don't want to go there again! So from here on out, I'm getting up and going to Curves without even thinking about it, and paying extra attention to what I eat. No more finishing the crusts from the girls' PB & J's!
So I've been to Curves already, (and even my signed my contract for another year!!), and now my reward is a nice cup of coffee. I have a nice long morning ahead of me before I get Maggie and start the rounds of extra-curricular lessons. House is clean and laundry is caught up, so maybe I'll do some make ahead meals and try out some new recipes.
What's everyone else up to today?
Well, I've been stressed lately and my eating shows it. I haven't gained any...but I am very glad Easter is over and the candy is gone. So, I guess I'm trying again today too.
Well, today is my last day at the office. The date got pushed up yesterday. Quite a surprise...but it'll be fine. The other admin that was let go and I aren't doing anything anyway. And now I have the rest of the week to get some serious house cleaning done! I'm going to try and start temping next week. I've also decided to cancel my trip to New York Hopefully I can reschedule it soon. But I just don't see how it can happen right now.
Wow, Ruth! Sounds like Trying Again Tuesday was the perfect title today!
Yesterday was not fantastic for me. I won't get into specifics, but I will say that I was way off track until dinner. I started reading Leslie Sansone's WATP book last night. I skipped everything and went straight to the success stories. Women twice my age are loosing just as much or more than I need to. I should be an active, attractive 25-year old and instead I feel like an unhealthy blob! I'm turning things around RIGHT NOW!
Seems like a lot of us are feeling similar, so to all!
Ruth: Dinner sounds faboo, but it's already too warm here for any kind of soup or stew. What kind of course are you taking? (If you don't mind my asking.)
cottage: WTG signing up for another year! I bet Curves is just wonderful. I really wish there was one nearby. Hope you have a great one and remember -- it's a new day and a new start!
anna: Your perspective on your situation is so inspiring! I'm sorry you had to cancel NY, but I bet you'll be rescheduling it in no time with your great attitude!!
Hope everyone has a fantastic Tuesday and a wonderful FRESH start!!
Good morning chicks the sun is shinning and looks like it just may be a great day.
Ruth Thanks for starting us up and it is a great title for the day, I am still hanging in and being OP, and only had two choc eggs over the Easter week end. Enjoy buying flowers and have a great day, and you stew sounds wonderful.
cottage- Good job on getting back to Curves, enjoy your coffee I am so jealous I am waiting for DH to bring me back a Tim Hortons Tea and I need it I have a wicked headache.
annarenee- Sorry about canceling your trip to NY, I would love to go there someday. Enjoy your week off and have fun house cleaning.
Kim- don't you just love reading sucess stories, they always get me back on track. Enjoy your day.
Me- waiting for my cup of Tim Hortons Tea I have a wicked headache and I am sure I need caffine I may have to break down and make one, I have been so good not drinking diet coke it has been a week now and I really want one this morning but I refuse to give in. Well must dash and go have play time with the wee ones there fave show is over. Have a great day.
I saw the title of this thread and it completely hit home! Yesterday was going great until dinner, I let myself get too hungry and then my will power slipped up. Today is therefore Day 1 of Phase 1 for me!
I've been lurking around and y'all seem to be a great group of people. I look forward to getting to know everyone better!
Darn it!!!!! My D_____(fill in the blanks) H ate up all the leftover deviled eggs! ! There were at least 8 of them left and I only wanted 2 for my lunch today! I just made a Taco Bake for supper, so I guess I'll have some of that for my lunch.
Morning girls! I stepped off the wagon for Easter too! My mom and dad got into a petty fight and she ended up crashing at my place. In 25 years of marriage she's never done that, but they were fine the next morning. Guess they needed a break! Anyway, that night was wine and pizza rolls...I know, horrible!
This morning I'm back on track. I was up at 6:30 am for no apparent reason, so I decided to clean the house. Now I feel 10 times better about the place and I'm organized for my day of running errands. I'm putting together a menu and grocery list for shopping and then I'm off! Post office, DMV, dry cleaners, cat-sitting house, coffee-date with a friend. Busy girl today!
Hope everyone else is hopping back on the wagon today, thanks for saving my seat!
To keep in the theme of things.....I am trying again too! I have been on Phase 2 for about 3 weeks (off and on) and keep going off the deep end. (Easter, nephew's birthday, etc). I am re-starting a food journal today (I usually fail at a food journal because I find that I don't write in it when I cheat). My first week of Phase 2, I overdid the whole grains and underdid the veggies, so I ended up gaining 2 pounds before I cheated at my nephew's birthday party. Then I went back on Phase 1 for a few days to get back to where I was and then....BAM! Easter! I am hoping I can use the food journal to track what's working for me on Phase 2. I am also finding that I keep forgetting my snacks, so hopefully this will help me with that also.
Today has continued to go ok. I've made 2 bad choices but they aren't too horrid. I had a SF soy latte at Starbucks and then I had 2 of my friends onion rings over lunch. The good thing is that I got the small latte and that I only had 2 onion rings, the bad thing is that I shouldn't have had the latte and I shouldn't have touched the onion rings with even a 10 foot poll.
I have a question concerning soy. I have an old book from 2003 or 2004. In it (it's at home in ATL and I'm in DC) I think that I remember that soy products are not allowed in Phase 1. However, I think that I read on some other sight that soy products are allowed. If someone would answer that it would be helpful. I need to buy the newest edition of the book!
Lots of for everyone...I stepped off the wagon and right into [insert copious food porn here] at brunch on Sunday! Glad I'm not the only one, though I wish everyone didn't have the food hangover blues now.
I dove right into P1 today and I'm so relieved to be eating truly healthy again. I'd let far too many protein bars and SBD-okay cereals into my diet. I'm looking forward to getting back on my normal, GOOD track where I feel good and am more healthy. (I'm in love with this dancing broccoli...it's my favorite vegetable, and here it is, movin' its booty! )
Hope everyone has a much better week, starting right NOW! We can do it!!!
i won't even go into this weekend but it appears that i'm not the only one. stupid holidays.
anyways hubby and i were back on track yesterday morning and today.
i *almost* broke down and got lazy last night and at the last minute remembered an easy tuna and black bean burger recipe. we ended up having that over salad. it was too long a day to really cook anything and i forgot to boot to pull any meats outta the freezer.
today i get off work a little early so i'm about to print of 12 pages of recipes (mostly dinner) gonna hit the grocery store for a few small things and back on track for us.
nice topic ruth thanks...seems like it hit home with a lot of us.
hope everyone is doing wonderful today...and i even walked my 2 miles today (i cut it to 1 yesterday as i was just like blah...i know horrible).
If at first you fail...try try try again Tuesday!
Quick pop in gals.... no time to even read /comment on the posts...but wanted to drop by to dust you all
