Barb I feel your pain with DH- mine isn't overweight, but his eating habits are pretty unhealthy and I know he doesn't feel good about himself right now. He has been eating like crap, not working out with a membership we are paying for, and generally in a bad mood!! :?:

Finished my math project and am currently chilling at my parent's house. My younger sister, who is 27 is in town from LA. Her new BF is here with her, and I am dying to meet him! They are with my mom and currently stuck in traffic, so my girls are DYING to see her. Abigail has no concept of time, so waiting is killing her. They are cooking dinner- a halibut dish, so I should be able to stay OP. I did enjoy enjoy 14 Thin Crisp Triscuits today as my first Phase 2 treat. Every crunch was divine!!


I am exhausted and hope they get here soon.... bed is calling my name! B-day party was perfect, no bathing suit needed, just rolled up my bermuda shorts and hung out. None of the other moms, skinny or not were in the water, so I didn't feel too guilty. No problem resisting the cake and ice cream either!! :carrot:

Love ya girls and will check in tomorrow. :hug:

Sary, I'll wish you luck on the PT. I hear ya about the early sessions. I'm like "I have to be there at 7:45 and then work all day?" Definitely keep a positive attitude. My arm hasn't fallen off yet.... :D

YAY Kiko! Way to resist the temptations! It's HARD, isn't it?

You should have seen me yesterday.... a whole buffet full of food I'm not supposed to eat, unlimited plates I can eat off of, and 2/3 of the people at the meeting smoked. I was good though! I watched everyone eat their sweets and get 6 plates of food while I ate my rabbit food, and I sniffed everyone's second-hand smoke instead of smoking. Ta daaaaa. I hear that cigarette smoke smells bad.... just waiting for that part of quitting to kick in.

2 weeks, 4 days, and 22 hours smoke-free, not that anyone's counting....

Just staying in tonight. Mom was feeling under the weather so I'm not going out to her house. Probably just watch TV and crash, I'm so wiped out. Gotta open early again tomorrow. You girls have a great night!

Lisa

Morning all! For real, morning for me now! Welcome to the chat, Lori! We love having new friends join us!!!

Ruth, I was so excited to read that your trainer has you on a new program. You'd never be motivated to get to the gym if your workouts continued to be painful!

Good luck with the painting all your fixerupers!!!

I'm off to run and then hit the yoga class. Ahhhh! I love Saturdays!

Kara

Lisa, you are doing an incredible job with quitting smoking! I can't believe how motivated and positive you are about it. Keep it up!!!

Kara

Hey, thanks Kara. It's been kinda tough, but when I REALLY commit to doing something, I do it, and I made a commitment to DH that I'd quit and he made a commitment to me to eat right, so here we are. I feel like if I start up again, not only am I ruining my health, but I'm giving him the excuse to ruin his too.

It sure does smell good though.

It's not a big thing though, really. It was just one of those "I'm out of my routine and why does everyone get to smoke?" days. I didn't think about smoking all day today until I started typing about yesterday.

Oooh, a rumble from below. I must eat or I might die. Have a great day Kara. Enjoy your Saturday!

Hey, thanks! I am just so impressed with your attitude. Whenever I've been around anyone else who has quit smoking, they're always so negative about it. You're doing so well!

My Friday the 13th had one major up and one major down. My mom and I both booked me appointments for an allergist without knowing the other did it, and she managed to get me one on Tuesday which will be the actual testing rather than my best shot with the first week of August and that only being a consultation. However, I had to stop my allergy blocking medication and I'm already blotchy and my lips are swollen! And I literally have had NOTHING in days that I either know or suspect that I'm allergic to. :( I had hoped to go to the beach this weekend with my BF and some friends but if I'm going to be scary looking then maybe not. Not that they care, but I don't want other beachgoers to think I'm diseased! :P

By the way, 7-11 has really awesome tangerine lime crystal light slushies. I'm a slushie maniac- if they made water and lemon slushies, I'd drink that all day! But I treated myself to one this afternoon after a long week of work and was heaven the entire walk home!
