Jo, maybe you can take a nap in between windows today.
Last evening, Paul and I went to the movies. I chose to go off-plan and have popcorn for dinner. I'm kicking myself for that now. It has also been 4 days since I've been on the treadmill. I will get on there today! And, I will drink my water! Jeeze, why is water such a major issue for me.
Today's menu is also yesterday's menu at 1400 calories:
Breakfast - 2 scrambled eggs, ww toast and light vanilla soymilk
Snack - Tangelo and cheese stick
Lunch- Lean Cuisine
Snack - Yogurt
Dinner - Sauteed yellow squash and onions over ww spaghetti
Snack - Weight Watcher's Key Lime Pie

I suck. The End. Food was good during the day. Made om nom nom nachos for dinner. Still Good. Drank beer, was bad. Sigh.
Rhonda - you will so rock the 5k!
Jo - I'm full of piss and vinegar myself today. Of course mine is beer related not hubby gone related . I think that's the saying right?
Billie - youppi on the flossing!!!

If I did not have the kids, I would be that way, though maybe not to that extent. I love Excel and everything about it.

Getcher butt on the treadmill.
OK, so mindful eating? Down 2.5 already. It is making sure that I don't: grab a handful of cereal when I make the kids' snacks, eat the left behind crusts from PB&J sandwiches, grab a few pistachios when I am getting their Clif bars. All of which is clearly a big DUH! but I believe that is why it is called MINDLESS eating. I need to re-read the book.
That's a lot of stuff to track. I don't know how you have time for that.
Once the spreadsheet is set up it is actually very fast. I usually input the numbers while eating breakfast. If I could think of more things to track I probably would, cuz obviously I love it.

yup. that's about right. my downfall too-- tho not lately.
Lately-- as in since this past friday I have been eating myself silly. Fri, Sat it was partly anxiety for the race, partly, well I do need the extra energy/carbs- right?
Sunday it was treat food, did the race.
Monday, Tuesday it was binge city because tomorrow I am interviewing for a full time 5day/week cannot see the kids before the day get home after the whole day kind of position. I tried to pull it together today because I don't want to have a bloaty looking face for the interview.
I don't want it but I do want to get back onto the labor floor and we need the income. I'm totally bummed. And I haven't been offerred the position. But there is a good chance. And I will be bummed if I don't get offered the position.
I'm kind of a wreck.
So, mom is doing better, still a very long recovery.
Jo, Anna, Anjuli, Rhonda, Billie, Jaimie-- you are walking the walk and talking the talk. cool.
Heather-- piss vinegar and some more piss here. wanna join me on the wagon?
So I decide I am comfortable doing the 5K for Labor Day. No biggee right? I dropped the kids off at pre-k and decided I wanted to go for a wog. Changed my mind and decided to go hike the Black Mountain Rec area trails. I was out for 1:45 huffing and a puffing. I was almost done when my friend texted me to ask if I thought she could be ready for a 10K that same weekend. I guess that is the plan now. I'm skeered.
Totally unrelated. I just looked over to find the cat trying to lift the lid on the toilet to get a drink. I've noticed that she hasn't seemed to be drinking out of her water dish. No wonder since she has been drinking out of the toilet since Friday. Lids are now down and I guess we wait her out until she get thirsty enough to drink out of her dish. Unless someone else has any ideas?
Food today was crappy but I did exercise so I'm okay with it today.

I hope it turns out the way you hope. I can understand how torn you are, but I also know how dedicated you are to L&D.
I had an amazing dinner tonight. The venue where we rehearse has a chef who does vegan/veg/organic/local dishes each night. Wednesdays are falafel. One thin pita, the chickpea goodness, a little tzatziki, tons of romaine, cuke and tomato. Wow. And totally within my cals for the night. Also, she made a wheat berry salad with raisins, finely chopped broccoli and some other things in a sweet, tangy dressing. Amazing. I love going somewhere that focuses specifically on healthy foods.
I went to the gym for a speed session. 10-minute warm up, then the lifting. I should have gone more slowly, but I needed to squeeze it in before rehearsal, which I figure is better than nada.
Lucy - Tough decisions but I'm sure you'll work it out and do what's best for yourself and your kiddos and hubby.
Billie - Actually I'm glad you're friend is making you do the 10k. Since you mentioned it yesterday I've been thinking about looking for one around the same time and you can kick my booty to make me stay on task.
Anna - That sounds freaking delicious.
Okay, so hey, turns out not meal planning is bad bad news for Heather. Also turns out this week needs to save enough calories for a glass or two of wine each night. Really, it's just so I don't kill people.
It is still a b*tchfest at my house, I'm not sure why I'm so moody right now but it sucks. All I know is that if Heather doesn't run I'm going to take it out on her.
Last night I had a full on binge that was just horrible. Gah, I thought I had at least put that habit to bed forever, but I guess not. Of course today I'm dealing with the guilt and self-loathing that comes with such behavior. Bah.
Today's plan:
Exercise: I ran like a demon for 5.3 miles, using up some of those ugly calories
Food:
Coffee
Salad
Fruit
Heather, run!!!
Jo, let the guilt go. Mooove on.
Billie, if you and your friend make the commitment together, more likelihood it will happen.
Anna, rehearse for what?
Rhonda, still loving running?
