Morning...WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?? For so long I did so good, and I started off good yesterday, HOWEVER, about 8:00 I went nuts and got angry and wanted some food, I had a couple of choc chip cookies and a whole bowl of buttered popcorn, which put me way over my points for the day, uggghh, afterwards I could have cried!! I am so disappointed in myself !!!!
Today, so far, i am on track, had a banana and water for breakfast, lets see what the day brings....I will try and be strong...

Julie - I wish I could stay away from the sweets, I need to get them all out of the house, my dh is going back on Atkins soon so then there will not be any sweets in the house...which is great!! YES, you CAN be 199 soon, I know you can do it !!

Amanda - Great, great job on your four pointer yesterday, I hope I can get back to my old dieting self soon ( like today ) ....

Faye - Wierd about the gas!! Cute pic of your grandson, glad you had a great time ... wish you could come here and kick my butt into gear, literally !!!

Sandybrat - Take care, I know you will miss your dh, but time flies right?

Have a good day all, talk later...

CARRI: Remember my motto is to not look back no matter what. Just don't worry about it. I know you feel bad, but you have today and today is going to be great for you, I just know it. I wish we could find time to meet up over Thanksgiving as I am going to be in South Bend for the holiday. We are always there for such a short time and we always are "booked" with familiy and friends. We are coming up there with dd in April and we MUST get together than if at all possible.

SandyB : Hope things work out well for the hubby and the move and whatever.

SandyG: For that matter, pack yourself a peanut butter sandwich with brown bread and natural peanut butter. It won't go bad on you unless it lays in there for days! It is also pretty filling.

Julie: YEAH for you girl! I am so glad you are back on track!

Well, I gotta run. Got the house cleaned but need to get trash out and do some weights and pay bills so everything is done before Thur.

Faye

Sandy,
I think they make small car coolers that plug in to your cigarette lighter. You don't have the mess of melting ice. Maybe you could ask for one for Christmas.

Carrie, find a strong moment sometime today and DUMP THE CANDY. Just get it out of the house! If it's not there, you can't eat it. If you feel guilty about throwing it out, give it to some neighborhood kids or something. If dh complains, tell him you are helping him get back on Atkins early because you love him.

TTFN,
Julie

WEDNESDAY: Today is Wednesday's Woes. What can we help you with?

My woe is we stayed up until 1 am watching election returns!

later girls!

Faye

Morning, thanks for all of the good suggestions and encouraging words...the candy is out of the house, but was replaced by a box of chocolate doughnuts!!! It is funny but also sad because it is true Dh is starting back on Atkins tomorrow, we went to the store last night and loaded up on good food for me and meat and cheese for him I like when he does Atkins because he looks good, but he looses so much quicker than me that I want to smack him, ha ha ... Just a quick check in to say hi, you all know my Weds woe (( FOOD )) ... well just the fatty food
Talk later...p.s. Faye I also stayed up late to watch the race but fell asleep around midnight, I cannot believe we do not have an answer yet...

Carri: As you probably know by now, J Kerry called the pres around 11 am and conceded. I was a bit puzzled by that because at 10 am he was adament that he wouldn't concede until Ohio was fully counted so they must have gotten some info on those ballots that indicated he couldn't win. Who knows. At least I didn't have to go to work this morning. No snoozing on your computer keyboard!

I will out tomorrow and Friday but back Saturday. Jules can you check points and lbs down for Friday? If not, can someone else volunteer??

I have been running errands all morning and now have color gooped onto my hair and this stuff is fabo color by is very thin and runs like the devil (that and the fact I am an old F**T and my hair is thinner than ever so it has nothing to cling to!

I will talk to everyone later and have a great day!

Faye

Hi ladies,

Sorry I didn't visit yesterday - I made the mistake of buying Nigel a new computer game and he was on it for 36 hours straight!

I got 4 points for Monday and yesterday. Yesterday, I had a real wobble (PMS) and started really craving pizza. I was saying to myself 'one won't hurt' and 'pizza will make myself feel better as I've got PMS'. At the same time I KNEW that I was in danger of falling into the same trap that I fall into time and time again - I would be satisfied for a few moments, but afterwards the guilt would come and I'd feel really angry with myself. In the end I went to my room and prayed for strength to avoid this temptation and for motivation to prepare a healthy meal. Thankfully, I got past the craving and cooked a lovely healthy veggie chilli with baked potato - and I went on the exercise bike for 25 minutes. So what could have been a bad day turned out alright in the end - it's really hit home the importance of taking it one day at a time, and one meal at a time if necessary.

CARRI - ((((hugs)))) don't be too hard on yourself! At least you have bought in some healthy stuff now and have got rid of the sweets. I know you will get back on track soon.

SANDY G - I am incredibly lucky that I do not work at the moment, so I can devote alot of time and energy to my diet and exercise. It must be very difficult for you juggling all your responsibilities. I agree with Julie - healthy snacks such as pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds or dried fruit - they are also really good for your energy levels.

Everyone else - have a good evening.

Love Amanda x

Amanda: I just want to send you a huge for withstanding your temptation. Each time you do that, it makes you a stronger woman. I think it's bologna that it makes it easier, your mind just wraps around it and you want what is good for you more than what is bad for you! Good for you!!!!

Ok, ladies, I am out of here until Saturday. You all behave yourselves til I get back!

Faye

Morning everyone.

Just wanted to check in and say howdy. MIA the last few days as I have been so exhausted. You know how it is when you get off track you body tends to loose the enegry that you once had. Haven't managed to get in a 4 pt day yet this week. Here's to today! Got in the exercise the last few days. That was the good part.
Thanks Julie for the info about the cooler maybe Santa will be good to me this year. I thought about an pb sandwich but then again I know how I get sometimes and I figured that I would be able to use it the next time that I needed an antibotic! LOL!
SandyB. Let me say something....Jackson. Good luck! If you have any questions about the area email me [email protected] and I will be more than happy to help.

Girls gotta run there has been an alert for sever thunderstorms and not too sure how long my connection will last. No rain here but it just has to be close to disconncet me.

Hugs to everyone
sandy

Morning ladies,

Feeling really down today. I had a horrible binge day yesterday. Just ate and ate and ate. I was so ashamed of myself, I couldn't even come in here to post. I'm feeling really stressed out and I don't even know why...unless it's that the holidays are coming and we have no money. That's probably it.

I'm gonna go do some yoga.

Julie

Morning Beautifuls... 4 points yesterday... had a doc appointment and all went well. Got a new script for alergies... but i cant fill it yet. Hubby left me with no cash.. told me there was money in the bank... well guess what?? there isnt... so i have no gas and no money and i am thoroughly pissed off. and when he called yesterday and i asked him what i am supposed to do... he just said i dont know...

Sandy

Sandy, I am so sorry to hear this. Wish that there was something that I could do to help but all I can offer is to be here for you. I will pray for you and hopefully everything will get much better.
Julie, don't you just hate those days when you eat and eat. Seems like I am there as well.
Just wanted to check in before I go off to class. What you have to do for your job. Catch everyone later.

sandy

Well I have finally figured out something. Call me stupid or whatever, but I have learned that if I am going to do this I can not have anything in this house whatsoever that I might go off plan with. There is candy here of course seeing how it was begoween(rafeford from johnboy/billy), but everyone knows that I work for keebler and these last 2 weeks I have gotten enough samples of product that I will not have to buy cookies or creal bars for a long time. As a result I have eaten some of the cookies! BAD sandy! just wanted to check in. Hope that everyone has a good night

sandy

Good Morning ladies!

Sandy, maybe you could give all those samples to a local homeless shelter or food pantry or something? It would get them out of the house AND give you a good feeling inside.

I ate better yesterday, though still not as well as I'd like. I have to be gone all weekend taking pictures of belly dancers. It's a blast! Something I do for my classes. Get them all gussied up and take really nice professional photos of them. Everyone comes away feeling so good about themselves. This year I'm having the lighting guy take my pics. I hope it makes me feel good too, cuz I sure need it right now.

I won't be back here until probably Monday. So do post those losses! And I'll give everyone a great big cheer when I get back.

Have a great weekend everyone!
Julie

Morning ladies!

Julie, I have given it some thought and I am going to give the samples to the church that I go to that way the youth group will have snacks. Seeing how those goodies and the begoween candy has help me to gain back 3lbs. YUCK!
