Pause day for exercise and sit ups. I think I'm just going to toss the other two out for now. I will really buckle down after easter. I just (and perhaps foolishly) bought some clothes that are too small for me. A tiny T-shirt and a pair of capris. The pants are with-in reach. But my daughter might end up with the shirt....A friend just celebrated his 40th B-day so I dug up some old photos to e-mail to him. Wow, have I let myself go.....
I'm going to put an old photo out where I can see it everyday....and to top it off, on top of the box of photos was my favorite pair of jeans from that era...my husband asked me to try them on...
well, it wasn't as bad as I thought. I got them over my knees anyway.....
OK, this post is getting too negative. Where am I on these challenges anyway? Day 5 and day 2 I think......
AND....MISTI!!!!!
great job finishing your challenge!!!!
challenge. I had the piece of cake my friend sent home with me Saturday. It was very tasty, and I threw the last 1/4 away, as I had enjoyed it but had enough. WOW - not being a member of the clean plate (or rather, clean Ziploc bag) club!!! Then, I had to go to the store for work. I ended up right amongst all the Easter candy, and . . . didn't even feel tempted. I was a bit more tempted because I had to go to a larger city to the store, and there was more restaurant choices. But in the end I made the right choice there too. Decided that due to the holiday weekend, I would be doing enough damage that I didn't need to add more now. 3 HUGE saves.
She did say that she could do my weigh in on Tuesday, to give me a day to recover from Easter. All else is going well.
Jolly & misti!!!! way to go!!!
But, NOT by my challenge. Just tired from a very hectic day. I did get to the gym and did both jogging (kept it to 3K but upped the pace 
) AND weight training 
and the crunches. Ok, it's not a lot of weight training but what was was good as I'm going pretty heavy again. It feels good and I am definitely fitting into my clothes better. Not daring to weigh myself yet though. 
I am aceing this at last! AND, oh, yes, I did NOT, get that?!?! did NOT go anywhere near the bar tonight. 
I almost did, then said, nope! took a deep breath of the cool night air and trudged off direction station!! 
, and you can tell us what you're staying off the first time....it's OK! 
Thanks for playing along though... 
), and had the healthy lunch I had packed. The only "slip" I had, was having 2 servings vs 1 of some baked chips. 
I can do this!
I can hit a bump and think...hmmm....jolly is up against this same kind of thing...I'll get through it and so will she! 
Thanks for the congrats. Yes, the bar was huge. I so very much wanted a beer to take away the anger and irritation of the day and there was a LOT! Right towards the end of the day it peaked and I was throwing a little tantrum with a boss again. But they are so using me it makes me sick that I have to continue to work there. And, glamor there is assuredly none with my work. Sure, meeting bigwig people sounds interesting but it's a lot of work for the peanuts I am paid and meeting them just brings the gap smack into my face. This is the illusion of journalism in general, but moreso in my situation, where I work for what is really a non-paper and deal every day on many different levels with blatant discrimination and rascism. The anger that I no doubt suppressed for years is raising its head, refusing to be silenced any longer. I have to make this work for me and I do have plans but it is so hard in the short-term.....sigh. But thanks, and I will keep in mind what you said and count my blessings, however hard-earned, sometimes even those kind of things don't come your way.
