    help!!!!!!!!!!

    Bad news. I just kept bingeing from last night, all of today and I want to get back on track. It's awful. I know what set it off. It was a wild upset of my routine. It was an interesting and rather good upset but they throw me for a loop. I get so anxious inside.

    **************

    diyana -- Way to go on the weight loss!! Nearly a pound down!! Moving on down. Yeah, frustrated and fat, I don't know where these feelings come from? We're doing it right. We're being successful and then, wham! we get these stupid feelings that don't really match reality. I guess they are the kind of lies we keep telling ourselves to keep ourselves down. Gotta stop it, right diyana?!?!?!?

    Ok, Shad, we'll be looking for ya!

    Red - When you weren't "here" yesterday, I was wondering what happened. Okay...so your routine was upset and you binged. Stuff happens. You "want" to get back on track. Will you? I want to be hearing that you "will" get back on track. Take your pauses, dust yourself and figure out what you need and are willing to do to get back on track.

    ************

    My frustrated and fat feelings are gone. I've got a busy weekend ahead and will do well in terms of eating, and get a lot of exercise in the form of yard work. And next week, I'm off Wednesday through Sunday, so lots of time for exercise. And I've figured out how to do Thanksgiving dinner on program.

    Hmm...big day again today. We'll see about the getting back on track. I'm feeling very disgusted with everything (pms is a big factor I think) and the fact that though I was losing weight I had absolutely NO comment, nothing. I thought somebody would say something. I thought the difference was significant. I am so invisible it seems. It really is a drag.

    Sunday here now. Yesterday was a wash. Going to try to get a handle on things today. One person did comment on that I looked thinner (just my face, but...) So that was nice. I guess with the clothes I wear that are so good at disguising just where my body extends to it is very hard to discern changes. But no way until I really lose the excess am I going to make it clear! OK, here's to getting back on the ball. I do know what works now and yes it is hard but I CAN do it!

    Ah...no go yet, though I did do better yesterday and got to the gym. Seem to have gotten disgusted with the regime. It's just so/too much work. Perhaps I'm not cut out to be super fit. If only my skin weren't such a mess.... I will try to keep the calories down today and eat good food instead of the junk I want....that said, it's not like I'm only eating junk food. Sigh. Agony, boredom, sense of futility....what a ball of sunshine.

    I'm baaaaaaaack too! Had a crazy busy weekend. Lots of errands and meetings on Saturday, and working nearly all day in the yard yesterday, but the winter prep is just about all done. Still have to decorate the yard for Christmas...but I'll do that this week.

    Happy Tuesday (or is it Wednesday for you both) -

    Today is my Friday as I have tomorrow, Thursday (Thanksgiving) and Friday off. So my plan is to enjoy a nice long weekend of putting up Christmas decorations, maybe some shopping, doing website work, and going to the gym. I feel like I've only been "phoning it in"..."going through the motions"...doing this half-arsed.

    But here's where I'm at for today...

    Journal and stay within WW points - 2 pauses taken - 1 pause left - Day 19 completed
    Drink 64 ounces of water - 1 pause taken - 2 pauses left - Day 20 completed
    5 servings of fruits and veg - 3 pauses taken - 0 pauses left - Day 18 completed
    1/2 hour of cardio - 1 pause taken - 2 pauses left - Day 5 completed
    50 crunches - 1 pause taken - 2 pauses left - Day 5 completed

    Unfortunately had a hiccup with too much food yesterday. When it totted up the tally, I had ingested 1496 cals. I'll go 100 cal on either side but no more. So I start that one again today.


    Michelle - there are times when you just can't make the challenges and I don't see any harm in stepping back for a few days and reassessing the priorities. I've done it several times.

    Right I have a huge number of tomatoes to eat so I will need to have some with toast and maybe some lite cheese for breakfast. I have a fairly packed day in front of me. Red must be sulking in a corner somewhere Or maybe she is just busy.
    See ya
