Default Our day

We went to the county fair last night for a little while, and watched the figure 8 demalation derby. It was fun. Brandon had a blast. We left Garret with a friend. I think it was good for all of us. Specially Brandon. When we picked Garret up, Brandon was right there checking out the situation, making sure he was ok. I know the little guy was tired. When we left the house, he held the door open for me, I told him, no go ahead, i know you are tired, mommy will hold it for you, he said no, you go first. I'm actually raising a little gentlemen. I told dear hubby last night, that I really need to remember the times, when he is so good, when i get frustrated at him for not listening to me.
I did pretty good at the fair, only had a corn dog. However, i was starving on the way home and we went to mcdonalds. I wasn't as bad as I could of been, cuz i got a small fry, but I'm sure the big mac didn't help. I was down another pound of what i gained with Garret. If i wouldn't of eaten all of that, it might have been more. I'm at 23 pounds off of baby fat.

We have a party to go to tomorrow, and they will have margarita's there. I will have at least one. Excuse my spelling errors this morning, please.

I'm waiting today to hear from the doctor to see if i can get my incision wet for the couples trip. And a couple of other things. If not that is ok, I will just stay at the campsite, and sleep, while everyone is kayaking, and then i can go next year. No if's, and, or butt's ( ) about it.

Penny, please put yesterday behind you and start fresh today. We both know that we could of done better, and chose not to. New day, new beginning. We just have to come to a point in our lives that we think as a thin person. Which, I'm really not sure how that works, cuz, i know some thin people that put away a lot more than i do, and I don't think that thinking fat is on their agenda.

What we all need to do, (and when I figure out how, I will let you know) is to put food least in our lives, and everything, I mean everything else first. So many times we think on I have this many points, or I need to get this many more veggies and fruits in, or I need to exercise. If we would just live life, enjoy it, do the things that we need to do, and eat when we are hungry, the balance food choices, and or points that we have, the weight would come off. Oh I know easier said than done. But I really believe this is true. I really don't think a thin person worry's that one day they had 2 Mikes Hard lemonade, but I think they are a balanced person, or Just EXTREMELY blessed from God with a great motabolism. Which at this point in our lives, or should i say my life, I'm not lucky to have either or. But what I do have is the knowledge to know what I need to do, and back in my brain, and heart, (except for last night) the desire, and the dream of making goal. I cannot count on someone else to motivate me, but I can count on working with others. I can either be for myself, or against, myself. These 2 tasks are not left for someone else to take responsiblity for, it's my choice. I want to be able to dress really nice for work, I want to leave the t-shirts, at home. I want to dress professionally. I have a desk job, now, I can do that. These are my goals, no one elses. I can only be the one to take responsibility for them. So I hope to meet you all at goal. Soon.

Hi Wendy,

I posted a long post yesterday. Got almost done had to do something else and I lost it and never got back to post.
I loved your post and it motivated me. I didn't do well either. We all have great intentions but we mess up. I actually did great yesterday with points so I thought and I ended up over and gained even more. I am now up to 198 again. I hate this. I have to get this off. I worked out again this morning. It is day 2 or 3 of exercise can't remember isn't that terrible.LOL I think that it is great that you are just going on the trip. It will do you good to sleep with no one around. Wish I could do that.LOL
You have great goals and I am with you on them for me as well. I know I can do this and I will. Seems like I can accomplish everything I want except for this weight. Don't know what is stopping me either. If I knew it would be so much easier.

Penny,

Like me don't worry about yesterday start today fresh. You can do it.

Sherri

I am still here! I have been in training at work for the past 2 weeks so I haven't had much time for posting. Kinda got waylaid on the diet thing but I am back on track essentially following Canada's Food Guide. Weighing and measuring for the next few weeks until I get used to proper serving sizes again. That is my main problem (other than not enough exercise). I simply put too much on my plate and then eat it all. So this way I can get used to eating a little less. I don't eat a lot of sweets. I bake them for hubby but I rarely eat them. If I do it is a very small slice or if cookies then I eat maybe two during the week they are in the kitchen. I used to eat a lot of them but in the last year or so I hardly crave them. Once in awhile I might want a chocolate bar or something and I'll buy it and then it sits in the house until I really decide I want it.

But I am trying to start walking each night after supper startig this weekend when the weather is good. Hopefully that will help. I haven't been weighed in a few weeks because of work conflicts but should be able to this week.

I am still lurking even when I don't post that much!!!

Hi Ladies!

Wendy,
You are one busy bee! Nothing slows you down girlie!

Sherri,
All we can do is just keep starting over until we get it right. I always think about where we would be if we stopped trying, right?

Alannah,
Hope you get in your exercise! Hope the measuring comes natural to you!

I did great yesterday and today I am actually down 1 lb for this week!
Great for me

Oh We took the kiddos to Chuck E Cheese's tonight........ here's a pic....... sorry it is so dark!
