Can't you tell I'm trying to pep myself up. I HATE Monday doldrums. Anyway, today is a little better than yesterday which I'm thankful for. No panic attack last night and only one night mare for the DD, and a call first thing this morning to the doctor is in order.
But before I do all that, I thought I'd check in quick with everyone, and wow hasn't the thread been active.
Fruitbat - Don't worry about the taco bell stuff, you have to treat yourself once in while or you end up back sliding or quitting all together. I know I absolutely love their cinnamon twist things. Which is why I'm avoiding them like the plague right now.
GirlA - Welcome to the group. I love these guys, they keep me on the straight and narrow. Just remember it's never to late to start your journey to healthier eating habits. I wish I would've started earlier.
CoolMom - Sounds like you had fun at your cookout, but I will admit that they can be killer on your diet. Always so much good food.
Diana - Thanks for the vote of confidence. When it comes to these kind of things patience and understanding is the key (unfortunately mom runs short on both sometimes.) I hope your angiodema flare up is subsiding. It doesn't sound like any fun at all. And I'm sure those few pesky pounds that snuck up on you during your vacation will be gone soon.
Flower123 - Ah a fellow cheese curl-aholic. I love em too, but the baked ones don't even come close to the goodness of the regular ones. Just remember we all slip sometimes and keep trying. I have faith in you.
ClayGirl - Welcome. This is a great group. And I have to say your sweet potato hash sounds wonderful.
Ian - Baby squid? Don't know if I could eat that, but my hubby says it's pretty good. He eats the seafood in my house. Hope your week starts out well.
I'm new here so not sure the official posting requirements for this thread, but wanted to at least add my two cents here for a little accountability for the day.
Joined yesterday. Weighed 169.9. Today. 169.0.
Ran/walked four miles yesterday.
Two this morning (goal for one more).
B- three eggs scrambled in water with a TB ketchsup.
L - homemade chicken/carrot soup with beef bone broth
D - not sure?
I'm enjoying reading everyone's comments and it's definitely inspiring!
Have a great day!
Well, down 0.6lbs today to 168.4lbs. Breakfast was fresh sardines, kippers and oats. Lunch was my usual but with octopus, scallops, shrimp and mussels. Tasty. For exercise I ran 4 miles and did 1 hour weight training.
Diana, yep the running club is going strong. We meet on Saturdays and Sundays which is good because it helps me to keep running at the weekend.
DakotaTrace, you should try sharing some of that seafood with your hubby. Discovering seafood was the best move I made on my diet. Before seafood, I just ate puney little salads with chicken, egg or tuna. This worked well for weightloss but did leave me hungry some days and wouldn't be enough for my workouts now. Now I feast on every type of thing living in the sea you can imagine (still with salad of course). It seems to be helping to keep the weight off.

I might just have to do that. Have to skip the shell fish...as I'm allergic to it. However, I do love tuna.
Today has been pretty good so far. I cheated and stepped on the scales midweek, just to check how I was doing. I'm down to 210.6. So a little over a pound since weigh in.
Welcome Iam@hero and it's good to see you, kelijpa

I was terribly AWFUL yesterday! We ended up in Hollywood and ate pizza, drank a martini, drank rum shots, ate an appetizer platter at the Hard Rock Cafe, then drank MANY tequila shots! UGH! We had a GREAT time, though...but I need to reel myself back in. Getting ready to go on a 20 mile bike ride in a few minutes.

Same here. I'm making sure I eat minimal today to balance the damage. I got on the scale at the gym and don't even want to go into what I saw. I hope it's just water. Ugh.
If I want a beach body by November I better get a grip.
Dakota UGH! I hear you on Monday! I am right there with you. On top of that I'm not a morning person, no matter which day it is. I'm glad your DD had a better night. Is she on meds to help control the anxiety?
Kelijpa From the other day. It seems like there is such a fine like now between eating at maintenance and going over enough to gain. Such a difficult thing to manage. Glad your DH is back on the plan.

Got on the exercise bike tonight, too damp and humid to walk. Wow, butt kicker, but I did it.
Think I'm right within cals, so calling it a good day, maybe 2 or 3 left...
We all have those off days, weeks, months for some, getting back to your program as soon as you can, however long that might be, is what makes us successful.
Syckgirlsfv and novangel, today is a new day. I have faith in you. We all have bad days.
kelijpa - I so wish I had an exercise bicycle. it would make my life easier.
diana- yep, my dd is on medication for her anxiety, but she's 13 and the doctor warned us that with going through puberty we might have to adjust her meds. I should find out more by Wednesday. Until then, it's just keep on keeping on. *crossing fingers*
