A thanks for the tips but I'm a HUGE planner. And when things happen that mess up everything I had planned then I'm kinda like a chicken with it's head cut off I run around trying to get everything done. If things went as planned I would have took along something knowing I would have to stop to eat....the PLAN wasn't to stop for fast food the PLAN was to be done home and then off to the late afternoon run arounds. Instead I was going all day and by mid afternoon I'm in wendy's getting fast food. Although if I would have been thinking right i could have got a healthier choice and ordered a salad instead of chicken nuggets and a fry...lets not forget the huge soda as well.
THINK HEALTHY is the key here. I have to get my head into this diet 100% or i will fail again. HOPEFULLY starting with today..... Slept in late today and had a banana and lite yogurt... probably going to have an orange here in a little bit then start dinner......WE CAN DO THIS

Hey you two, I see you are both working hard to get in gear and that is great!!!!
I am on vacation and eating a ton!!! Still awaiting af though and am thinking i may go crazy. We are in another big storm and I have no car as dh car broke down and he is taking mine until he gets his back. Meanwhile I am stuck in the house eating frozen yogurt!!!!!I am also on day 4 samoke free!!!!!!!!!!!HELP
T

[andreaphilip3]

holy cow tara!!

first congrats on day 4 smoke free! its not easy to control both issues at once but it is do-able. can a friend take you shopping? if i were you id throw it away if you cant stay away from it. try things like raw veggies and ff sour cream dip or nonfat yogurt or fruit and yogurt, sf jello, popcorn etc.

good luck!

no bagel today so i was op but im having dinner w a friend and im allowing myself to splurge. im evening planning ahead bc she doesnt know exactly what time itll be so rather than starve i think ill have 1/2 pbj on wheat around 3 bc she said round 4-5.

i walked 6 miles today

[andreaphilip3]

where are you guys??
well i have some unplanned obstacles my first day but i will get through! i maintained my 4 lb loss from 2 weeks ago i think half atting it the last few days really helped.

[Losing4another]

Hello A way to go.....that treadmill was a great idea for you. Diet or not that exercise is wonderful for you too

Lost 2.5 pounds this weekend That is very good for me as weekends are the hardest for me.

T, how's it going? That sucks being suck in the house and with the storm there would not be much you could do anyhow...Weather getting any better?

[andreaphilip3]

thanks l.....congrats on that loss!!!

my goal from now to sat. is to maintain todays weight bc the kids and i are having lunch on wed.

how ya doin t?

[Losing4another]

Where are ya going to eat A? Usually with kids favs you have lots of fatty food to choose from...TRUST ME thats half of my trouble right now. We don't go much but when he do it's never good

Looks like I'm not going to be able to do curves Couple guys at Dh's job were laid off so we are not for sure how long the job is going to last. Don't need any extra bills right now. On top of that I had to take one of my daughters cats to the vet because he got into a huge fight and wasn't healing from his wounds. They had to keep him over night and not sure what follow up treatment will be. I hope he gets better quickly but thats going to be a nice big bill Thats bring to mind another bill I didn't want...My sister and I got cell phones together in my NAME ...the deal was to half the bill but she got a phone from work and I'm pretty sure shes going to drop out of the contract on me and I'm going to be stuck with the whole bill...have to go and talk to the company and see if I can lower that bill without signing another 2 year contract since i'm on my last year of the other contract....okay enough venting Nighty-nite ladies

[andreaphilip3]

l!

can things get any worse for you right now? youre in my prayers girl... i hope you can get out of that stupid contract and i hope that dh gets another job quick n that someone helps pay that vet. how bout buyin a set of watp?(they are cheap and at least its a one time cost. can you walk outdoors? or how bout buyin one of those peddle gagets from those cheap catalogs?

we go to friendlys....its a losing battle. we go every 2 wks after the chiro bc i like to reward them for sitting in the car bored to death for 30-40 min.

[bgbrwnys101]

L, Can you get someone else to take over the other phone?? That way you arent stuck w/ the whole payment. Sorry about all that stuff, but I think you are full now and things should look up soon!!!
A, Great job on the walking, its so good for you!!!
By the way I am winning the smoking battle, its day 5 but am definitely losing the wl battle. Between quitting and af coming I am scared spitless of the scale right now.
Also I fell down teh stairs Sunday and really messed up my ankle and knee so I have been pretty lazy since then...
Great day you two!

[andreaphilip3]

hi guys!

hows it goin? tara are you ok? thats gotta hurt! its very difficult to juggle both issues but youre strong youll find a way.

lorra anything get resolved yet?

[Losing4another]

Ouch Tara Are you okay? Both of those usually heal slowly so TAKE IT EASY as long as you can Way to go on the smoking...I know how hard it is to quit ..I smoked until i got pregnant with my daughter. Stopped until she was born and started up again for a while until it was giving me awful headaches. Was still hard to quit but the headaches helped to stop completely. Dh smokes and the smell still gives me awful headaches. If only junk food gave me headaches
No I really don't have anyone to take over the phone. I could ask my mother in law but she forgets alot and I would have to always remind her to pay the bill. I'm thinking about just going and signing another contract. Another two year contract but if it's a lower payment I may have to do it. If Dh leaves this job he will need a cell since his job owns the one he has now so I will be able to add him if i need to. Didn't make it to talk to the company was at the vets most of the afternoon. They told me after 12 and I thought well better wait until closer to one because of lunch and they still were not done patching up the cat when i got there. Wanna take a guess on how much the bill was????

289 I didn't have the heart to tell dh the total so I lied and said it was 200 didn't give any other number when it's actually closer to 300. Cat goes back in a week and I was going to take along another cat for shots but I think I will wait and see how much all this is going to cost us first.

Some better news with the job though. The company signed tons of new contracts and dh should be safe with this job for AT LEAST another 6 months. Not that we can let our guard down but it helps knowing it's not tomorrow or next week

A you have a VERY well behaved niece and nephew..no way could my niece (5) and nephew (2) sit in a car that long without killing each other and whoever watching them wanting to kill themselves .....spoil them rotten

Going to hit the hay...enjoy the book

[bgbrwnys101]

L, That is a crazy high vet bill, they really are like kids arent they!!!! I am feeling a little better, my ankle is still a little weak and am trying to get it back so I can get in shape for my 6.2 mile walk coming up in a few weeks. AF finally arrived and now I can look forward to the numbers on the scale (hopefully) going down instead of up!!!!!!Glad your hubby is safe, even if for 6 months. In that time you guys can make a plan, and he can see whats out there.
A, how is it going today????
Tara
