Please see Pam's post at the end of 47.
Well it sure has been quiet here. I see alot of lurkers check us out,you all are welcome.
Well I have purchased a lo carb cook book and went shopping yesterday. So I am committing myself and DH to lo carb eating.
Once my creamer is gone I am off that as well. You know that carnation creamer? Love the stuff.
I am going to set my mind and just focus on teh eating and water right now. I go on vacation in 2 weeks for 2 weeks. And would like to begin working out by then.
Also means that there are some places where I shouldn't go. The weekly farmer's market. Because they have great baked goods there and my weekly visit to a coffee place in Sacketts. Where they also have baked goods. I have no business being in either place.
The next concern is planning and packing lunches. Gotta do it.
I also seem not to make the time here. WHen I know that the process of posting and getting support is so important.
Hey all I want to report a perfecrtly OP day on a sunday no less.
I cooked some lo carb stuff yesterday from the new cookbook
SF ketchup and BBQ sauce. Both OK. AM planning on buying a food processor which seems to be a key tool in some of the recipes. Also used up some summer vegs.
Well Off to Monday
I have to admit that I overcame some pretty tough sugar cravings yesterday. Must keep focused at work. People there have candy baskets all over the place and when stressed that leads to mindless eating!
Hey girls check in
Pat
well another good OPday
Could have done more water.
Used the SF ketchup which was a bit vinagary.
Kept the candy at bay, even stressed asI was.
HELLO ANYONE OUT THERE??
Good morning all,
3 days of OPness. Yesterday was a struggle had many carb cravings! Still need to up the water though. Checking out more recipes from the cookbook. WIll try some more this weekend. We are finally going to shake the weather pattern that we have had the past week or so . We had flloding here. The water table is so high that mowing in August is a problem.
Hey everybody still OP, still not working out, still could get more water in. Yesterday was quite a challenge as I and a emplyee hit each other in teh parking lot. Then we expeienced the black out. Got power back about 9:30 pm. I was thinking of drinking or stuffing my face with large amounts of carbs. Didn't though.
1 more week till vacation. DH is home all weekend. We'll see how that goes.
Well ladies 1 week of OPness. Feeling better. Still having diff withe the water.
My but it's been lonely here, I miss you all. I hope Pam comes back.
The summer is winding down. I have one more week till vacation.
Hot and humid here again.
I have to admist that when I eat locarb I feel so much better. eating the simple carbs whether they are junk food or not, my body just doesn't like them. Pretty much means that I have to re define how I think about food. More mental stuff.
Well I wish I could tell you that the weekend was an OP one but I can't. I am not going to go on about it. I just know that today I will return to OPness. The countdown to my vacatiuon begins. It will be a stressful week getting things ready so that I can leave work behind.
Hi Pat do you have this feeling like you are talking to your self???
Sorry but the puter totally crashed and would not even turn on!!!
I have a loaner untill I can get a new one. It is a lot slower than the one I had before but it owrks!!
I have not been totally OP but not to bad though I even went camping and an sitting at 215.5 today. I will be back Op starting today. I do not have time yet to go back and check for the last few weeks I will soon, but for now Pat I am back!!!
Yes I did feel like I was talking to myself. Pam stopped by. Am really glad to see you!
Not doing well this week at all , bad planning. Also so burn out I can't stand myself. Just 4 more days!
Have you looked into the SBD? I remember you were talking about it last month. I am going to stick with PP untill I feel comfortable or am bored with what I am doing. but if i can get back to exercising then i will be fine.
I know your feelings like burn out that is a huge killer. I am still in the honeymoon phase. I also just had my annual eval and got good marks!1 I was suporised as i am still earning my job but am feeling more confident. just hang in there and think of the reason you took the job in the first place, not just the work you have to do. look for the rewards. that does help to get your focus back. (like dieting)
Yes I am semi sorta doing something. I got a great cook book and am slowly exchanging some products. But this week I can't even concentrate. Way over extended myself. I am so glad you are doing well. I can't beleive a year has gone by at your job. Amazing!!! Just think summer is almost over.
I hope Pam comes back, KINA and Melody are MIA too.
Hey
Well they say that it is darkest before the dawn. 2 more days till vacation. I am so discouraged with people I could just cry. OP isn't w/i my grasp this week. But soon. Unfortunately I am just punishing myself w/ food so I am complicating things.
Well enough whining.
Well day 2 of vacation I feel a little better. PMS sure can complicate things.
I bought the SBD book at Sam's AM reading it now. Need to grocery shop. IN Carb **** right now.
But my aim to to implement some changes while on vacation to set the pace for a healthier me at work.
How are you by the way?
Helllo to everyone else Check in and guve the lurkers a break from hearing me whine! LOL
Well I like the SBD book , Still in Carb **** but feel like I am finding my way out. Planning comes next, then implementation. Still recouperating from work. My but I find myself a creature of habit. Can't imagine what I will be like in my 80's. Driving nurses crazy ! Sue you know the pt. I am talking about.
My goal today is WATER!!!! I must be carrying 10# of it. Must get it in so I can get it out!
Well how is everyone else?
New lurkers are probably wondering "who is she talking about?"
But there are others!
Hope you are well and can check in when you can
More to report tommorrow!
