good mornin ladies!
hows it goin?

yes we need to stick together!!!!!

bump!

Ok, so yesterday I totally fell off the wagon....I had a good breakfast, but when I got home from work I had half a bag of potato chips, and some valentines cookies and candy. Then, my parents called and took us out to dinner at Joe's crab shack. I ate too much at dinner, and now I feel like I have a food hangover this morning.

On the positive side, I got evaluated at work yesterday and everything seemed to go ok. I have been a nervous wreck for months about it, and last night I actually got a good night's sleep. I have been tossing and turning at night for the last 2 months. Now maybe I won't be quite so tired during the afternoon.

Take care everyone, it is back to eating sane for me today!!

Leslie, glad to see you climbing back onto the wagon--we all have our slip ups now and then. Maybe now that you won't have to stress about the work stuff as much, things will go more smoothly.

I am going to San Antonio this weekend and will need to remember to eat on plan despite all the yummy treats!

Just stopping by, scoping out the competition.

Good luck to you, i'm sure you'll need it. lol:D

See ya in a month!!!

Hey Rosario --

Thanks for the encouragement -- right back at you! Your birthday is three days after mine and it looks like we've both set birthday challenges for ourselves --good luck!!

Veerie

Leslie -- congrats on the good evaluation. That must be a big weight off your mind! I completely hear you about the "off the wagon" days -- I have a lot of those, too. Don't forget, though, that there are just as many "not only am I on the wagon but I'm driving the damned thing" kind of days. As long as they balance out, you're golden.

Liz, have a great time in SA! I spent 3 years living in Dallas and really regret that I didn't get to Austin or SA -- I hear they're both great places.

Diane -- hope you're doing ok and feeling better!

Keep going Girl's it realy helps to have Others to challenge you in a positive way. Good Luck to all and here it the :dust: we all need

Had another day of not so good eating, better than the day before but not so great. I need to do my exercises....I am so unmotivated...HELP!!!!!

Leslie, forget about waiting for motivation. Just do it! You'll feel better afterwards, I promise!

Vee, I am very excited about SA. We haven't been for awhile so it'll be really nice plus we're actually staying at nice hotel on the river instead of just a cheap one to save money.

I have been doing OK on everything but the scale is just not cooperating! At least this morning a guy I know at the gym said "you run 5 times a week? that must be why you're so skinny!" i laughed but it was a little ego boost especially when i'm not feeling very skinny right now.

Liz -- I am in the same boat and it is so frustrating! I know I shouldn't rely solely on the scale to tell me how I'm doing, but a little change here and there would make a big difference. I know the closer we get, the harder it is and maybe that in itself is a sign of success, but jeez. I have had a pretty discouraging week. Still, I'm on my way to gym anyway...

Good job getting to the gym anyway...I spent some quality time with the stairmaster and the elliptical machine this morning myself!

hi ladies!!
thanks veerie-actually things are lookin down again just when i thought they were about to go up. im having VERY painful urination and my teeth are aacting up and my potential massage lady backed out on me.....must find a way to work all of this out bc day by day the lack of food and activity are doing bad things to my body.
leslie isnt that a great feelin?

Oh dear. That doesn't sound good. First and foremost, you need to take care of yourself. Hope you're feeling better soon!

Liz and Leslie, have a terrific weekend!

Hello ladies, Can I ask one of you to keep track of everyones points so we can tally them all up at the end of the month?? Starting from February 13/06.
Thanks.
