Hi Ladies,
Happy New Year!
I am back again, trying again. I started the New Year with the desire but no plan so I was disorganized and unsuccessful. Today I started off counting portions (5 grains, 2 milks, 3 proteins per day, etc.) but it ended up more about counting calories. Combo foods are hard to separate. I also moved my WATP video to near the VCR which is progress. So, I have a question, if counting calories does it matter what you eat as long as you don't go over the total for the day? Or do you have to balance it out from all food groups. I know it is better to be balanced but do you have to be? So here I my goals: count calories while trying to make healthier choices, actually put the tape in the vcr, and maybe join local tops for support.
Glad to see so many familiars and many newbies. It's like coming home. I need to update my tracker (in the wrong direction, lol)

Good evening everyone,
They called me into work today. So I went to curves this evening instead of this am. I ended up with 27 pts for the day. Most of the time I take Lean Gourmet meals and a Mcd side salad for lunch. It's cheap!! and easy to keep to your pts.

Susy: Good to hear from you Sounds like you have a good plan. Just put it in action...You can do this.

Jodi: I have days when my emotions truly rule my eating. It's really tough sometimes. You're right. Just forgive yourself and start over.

Susie: You go girl... No pity party here.

Holly: I don't know how you slowed down enough for a bug to catch you!...LOL
FEEL BETTER SOON
I hope your grandmother is ok. It is a good idea to check in on her.

Later

Good evening all!! I did not do to badyly, even though I hit the higher range in my calories. I have been a little stressed with the kiddies, but hopefully over hte next 15days (not counting sat and sun) things will even out a little. I went to work this afternoon, but we had no patients. I filed for about an hour then left. DH has been very supportive and told me not to rush home, even though he knew I had a light day. So I went shopping at the mall and found a cute shirt. DH lkikes it, so I am happy. SO tired now, and I have to get up early to exercise. I AM going to do it. I need to work out some of these frustrations. (and my tummy fat )

Night all!!

I am awake!
That has to be a good thing.
Not sure how my tummy is yet.
Yesterday was uneventful.
Food has been mediocre.Water good. A bit of yoga.

My DS has a crush! He is only 7. He came home with a pic drawn by a girl signed LOVE M. He is going there after school today and staying for supper.
At least she is a cool girl. She plays hockey and soccer. Oh dear me!!!!!!!
6 kids all day.
I must have a to do list but will have to think on it.

Yaaaaaawwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.......

*I will try and catch up later*

Good morning all I did not get up early to exercise. I had a rough night. I will try to fit it in later. DS almost missed the bus. I lost track of time this AM. So far though everything else seems to be back on track. My sibs are doing their work and the two little girls are actually playing quietly. I have to go see what they are up to...they are too quiet. Later chicas

I weighed myself this morning and was pleased to find that I had only gained one pound back during my hiatus. Yesterday was a struggle and I tried hard to stay focused but lost it a bit. Today, so far, so good. I did not watp but I did continuous cleaning for about 1 1/2-2 hours. I worked up a sweat alright! Plus I have the oil burner guy coming today and didn't want to get caught jiggling all over the place. I hope everyone is having a great day.

Hello All,

I have been away for a while, but it's time I get back on the wagon. I hit my goal weight this summer, then I got comfortable and gained my weight back. However, I have kept my good eating habits.

I am having a heck of a time "seeing" myself as being different than I am now.

Hey everyone,
Just a quick note. I used 27pts today. I didn't get to curves this morning so I went after work. Boy, I was dragging afterwards. I just stayed on the couch the rest of the evening.
This was a big night for tv. I watch e-ring, lost, the biggest looser and Invaison Thank goodness for a DVR.

I'll catch up on personals tomorrow...Goodnight

Good Morning Ladies,
I had a good day yesterday. Ate well, exercised (heavy cleaning), and felt good. Today, I am fighting off a mac-n-cheese urge by having a cup of coffee and writing here. I'm waiting it out to see if it goes away but it is very on my mind. Does that ever happen to anyone else?
It seems as though everyone is doing well. Terrific!
Holly- Either photo is beautiful. You are beautiful. So full of life and spirit.
Annie- Sorry to hear about your friend. Glad to see you getting back on track though. Good for you. I hide away when I need support the most too. What's that about?
Have a great day all.
Sue

Well all, I am doing well this AM!! I got up and exercised and DS is at school. My siblings are all done with their work (One brother still needs to do flash card, but he is waiting for me...) Food has been good, and water has been great-over 64oz a day! Well, I have to run later chicas!

Holly~I think you are beautiful! You have a great smile and I love your hair!! Keep up the hard work-for YOU!!!!

Hi Ladies,
Boy, it sure is quiet around here. I hope that means everyone is just busy and not struggling. I am finally, for 3 days now, on a good track. For the first time I did my WATP 1 mile Easy Walk video and enjoyed it!. I checkened out of joining TOPS last night. I don't know what I am afraid of but I just couldn't go. Fear of comittment? Fear of Rejection? I don't know. I have been eating well so 2 out of three goals isn't bad. Tomorrow is my official weigh day. I hope, I hope, I hope there is a change.
Susie- I enjoyed your blog. You have always been so inspirational. You can do it!

Hello chicks! May I come back now? I fell off the wagon, hit more than my fair share of speed bumps and am still picking the scabs off my nose from where I did a face plant into the carpeting. 2005 was a roller coaster ride and I'm hoping that 2006 is much better.

Labchick you naughty kitten. welcome home!!!!!!

Hugs and Love you glorious chicks!!!!
