Uggghhhhh get me out of my funk. Actually I feel better this morning, we'll see how it goes.
breakfast - cereal and naner
lunch - enchiladas
snack - apple, pecans
dinner - tbd
I need to run as I have the first 5k in the winter series on Satruday but study is taking priority right now.
I'm nervous. I'm at the point where the scales really slow down to a crawl and I usually quit. I start thinking that something is wrong with my body and I just don't have the ability to lose like everyone else. Silly, I know. But, that's how my effed up mind works. I'm journaling and white knuckling it through. I can't afford to give up on myself this time.
Jamie, when I logged on to check 3fc today you were in my thoughts. Seemingly strange maybe, due to the newness of our co-posting. But there you are anyway. . Have a good day and be a little extra kind to yourself.
Heather I am in a bit of a funk also. The snowy weather is putting a hold on my mileage and I thinkk that might have something to do with it.
Well I am glad there is no more chocolate in the house. Ask no questions...
I didn't workout yesterday even though I should have . I got in to work early this morning which is great cuz I can leave early. I wish this trend continues. Yesterday's calories were way over. It was my fault cuz my lunch was not filling even though the calories were high. So I was hungry all evening and then kept munching . Now I have to balance it out this week. I will workout today definitely. I need to get out of the 170s...been there forever it seems. TOM should be over in a day or so and my life can get back to normal.
Rhonda, please don't give up. Look how wonderful you're doing staying OP for all this time. I'm sure you feel great even though the scale is moving slow. It is bound to happen. I understand your fear and frustration. Most of us go through the same emotions. You cannot give up girl! Now now and not ever.
Jaime, I'm keeping you in my thoughts all day and I sincerely your day and weeks to come go well. I'm sending you positive vibes. I hope you got to spend some time with L peacefully last night.
Heather, how can we help to get you out of your funk? I hate it when it happens. I wish there was a way to avoid it altogether like an internal alarm thingy going off when the funkyness was approaching so we could take appropriate measures to avoid it. Well, until that happens here's a .
Lucy, I hope you get out of your funk mood too.
Food Plan: B - Egg beater sandwich L - Soup S - small salad
Edit: New Prez/Vice-Prez portraits are not up yet. I'm hoping they'll change it sometime this afternoon. I'll make sure to look.
Rhonda-You are doing great, keep it up I promise you will see results!! DO NOT GIVE UP! Think positive because I'm sure if your mindset is thinking that you won't lose that really does effect your weight loss. Don't let it. You know what to do and you know if you do it, it works.
I want to know where my snow is?!?!? I'm staying home from work today anyway just in case of snow. Although being home is hard for me so I'm going to need extra OP vibes today if you have them.

You've recognized the pattern, now on to fixing it. I think you can have lots of good thoughts while on the treadmill

They better!
On the topic of your return - I really don't know. I personally would want to have my debt paid off but I also think savings are a good thing to have right now in this market. Maybe a bit of both?

Is it snowing yet?
Well I made it into work and have actually gotten quite a bit done. I'm leaving early for some study time and to get some exercise in - assuming the gym is open. I'm not trying to run on ice outside. I blogged about my issues of late and while it's more just a bundle of words I think I needed to get it out there. I doubt it'll solve anything but sometimes it feels good just to say what ails you.
Well, I'm headed out to run in 30mph winds. I was hoping they would die down some but it is not happening so I might as well head out and get it done. Tomorrow morning is supposed to be below 20 here, that's pretty rare and will be the coldest weather we've had all season.
Pinto, you can get tax credit for interest on only one mortgage. I like the idea of both pay down and extra cash for rainy day.
Actually you can on two. Your first mortgage which is good up to $1,000,000 loan and also a home equty line with interest deductible up to $100,000. 2nd mortgage just has to be secured by home. I think there are some phase out rules but you should be good to go on it.
It's just on the Schedule A itemized deductions. Should be able to consult Publication 936 to answer any questions. It's also limited to the FMV of your home - which could create problems with the decline in home values.
Rhonda - I understand exactly where you are coming from. I was doing so well and now the last 4 out of 5 days have just been bad. I know some of it is emotional in regards to DH but I haven't pinpointed what else is going on my head. I've been listening to Jillian's podcasts and those do seem to be helping. Thankfully, I haven't turned to sweets. Maybe a few to many salty crackers with my hummus but NO sweets. I seem to be falling more into Anna's path with to much of good things. That is quite a change for me.
Snobby Joes. I don't understand the hype. They were WAY to tomatoey (I know, not a real word) and I am not sure if I feel up to salvaging them somehow. I thought about trying to turn them into some sort of soup but haven't decided yet. They are in the fridge and I will contemplate it and make a decision tomorrow.
Weather - It is about time someone gets crap weather besides Kim and I. They were calling for subzero temps last night but it was 10* when I woke up at 5:10. There were reports of -27* 80 miles south though. BRRRRRRR!
Can you spice up the Snobby Joe's with hot sauce and onions and peppers? Those would go well with something tomato-y; I've never had the Snobby Joes but always thought they sounded really good.
