Just finished up another hour on the treadmill with my 45 second wogs. I kept imagining myself running a marathon, but I'm realistic. I have a looooong way to go.

BTW, it's so nice to watch the first bloom of a new romance.:drool:

Way to go Rhonda!

My exercise today consisted of trying to teach the kids how to ride two wheel bikes. My back thinks they need bigger bikes.

Great job on the tready, Rhonda!

I managed to eat no extra anything yesterday, yay. Gotta keep myself attractive for the ladies, you know. Girls like Anna don't come along every day!

Today's plan:

Exercise: Ran 3 miles
Coffee, bagel with SB
Nature burger with spinach , zucc and yellow squash sticks on the side
Orange
Black bean soup, big salad with balsamic dressing

E - will be more teaching the kids to ride bikes
B - dry cereal
S - fruit
L - lasagna rolls and salad
S - veggies and hummus
D - no clue

I think I need to do some menu planning.

So, someone tell me why over the last two days I've put on 1.2 lbs? I know weighing every day causes obsession etc etc and perhaps these are just fluctuations but seriously, body, I'm feeding you less than I have in recent memory, and you go up 0.6 each morning. I'm now dangerously close to seeing 189. What gives?

I'm cancelling my WW membership. Not because of the gain, not because I'm giving up, but because I am not going. I'm not using the tools it gives me, and that $40 a month can be put to good use elsewhere. I may join back again some time, but not right now. I have all the relevant info on hand, that's what matters.


Rhonda - you are a superstar. I'm so proud of you :)

Jaime, it's most likely water weight, it will woosh off so don't sweat it. I know you know that but I know it is still incredibly frustrating to see.

Jaime - the scales are cruel. You know your body and you know when you're on plan. Screw the scales! Just keep doing your thing.

Today is a 1500 calorie day

Breakfast - scrambled egg, ww toast
Snack - Tangelo and cheese stick
Lunch - Lean Cuisine, Asian Style Pot Stickers
Snack - Yogurt
Dinner - Spaghetti
Snack - Weight Watchers Double Fudge Cake

My buns are sore today and it's walk-with-incline day on the treadmill. This is gonna be so much fun!

I just want to know what I have to do to get a girl like Anna or Jo?

Bad start. Grazed off the kids' uneaten breakfast.

Has anyone checked out Jillian's new book? I am number 74 on the library list.

All you gotta do is cook for me and wear low-cut tops. *swoon*

Wow. Much easier than pleasing a husband.

My spatula and pushup bra are packed.

Don't forget to bring Darcy!

Yesterday I was 100% on plan, yay, I can feel the groove just a few short days away. I'm not quite in it yet, but it is coming.

I tell you what, I'm not sure going off plan during a vacation was worth all this horrible struggle. Ideally, I'd like to be able to go off plan a few special times a year on vacation as long as I get back on plan immediately upon return. I thought I could do it this time, but it was a giant FAIL and now I'm hesitant to believe I can really ever accomplish that (which makes me feel kinda bleak). I'll have to think on it. Right now I'm trying to prove to myself I still know how to be strict with 100 days of the strictest eating I can do.

Our next vacation is in October I think, we are going to Texas for my BIL's wedding. I'm not sure what my approach will be.

Today's Plan:
Bike ~1 hour
1/2 bagel with faux sausage patty
coffee
Black bean tostadas
Pineapple
Amy's veg korma meal

Jo, I'm so glad you're finding your groove again. Vacations scare me. I have one coming up in June and I'm already thinking of ways to stay on-plan and avoid the family pressure to "relax and don't worry about it." KWIM?

My scales are stuck. I know this happens and the scales are fickle, but this is only week 2. Sometimes I dream of recapturing the metabolism of my 20's.

Today is a 1600 calorie day for me.
Breakfast - scrambled eggs, ww toast and chocolate silk soymilk
Snack - Tangelo and cheese stick
Lunch - Lean Cuisine
Snack - Yogurt
Dinner - Spaghett
Snack - Weight Watchers Key Lime Pie

Jo - I can totally understand what you mean. I used to use visits to my moms as an excuse to eat what I wanted. Thankfully they are supporting me 100% now and only offer up safe foods. Of course I can still overeat on those but at least it is slightly better.

Speaking of moms, I was supposed to go there this weekend after David's eye appt today. Thanks to the van issues I've had to reschedule his appt. Maybe when we do get to go the weather will be a little more cooperative. It is supposed to rain most of the weekend.

E - probably none again
B - oatmeal, flax, banana, pecans, a few choc chips (I think I am going to start using the choc protein powder I have in the pantry instead of chips. We'll see.)
L - salad, lasagna rolls
D - lasagna roll, bread stick, veggies
D - fudgebar if calories allow

Next time I make those rolls they are going straight to the freezer.
