Thursday (how original)
 

Hey all,

I am up, had a bad food day yesterday.... eek, why does stress bring this on... I just am working not to self-medicate with food... anyhoo I am off today and get the keys today so yah:)

I hope everyone is doing well and I will be back next week!

Cheers!

Ali:)

Ali~ Have a great day in your new home. I am so thrilled for you!

Yesterday's eating was not great! Uhhh. This is such a frustrating process. I haven't lost in over a month and it has been my CHOICE b/c of the way I have been eating. I did exercise the past 2 days which feels good but I need to get back on the wagon. I should have time to grocery shop on Sat. and I think I will start back on SBD on Sunday. I have to admit that I am back in control of my eating but it is still not SBD or WWers it is just not completely out of control. How is everyone else doing????

Taking a break from packing (don't tell BF, then again he's still asleep ;) )

Becky: Sometimes to get reign over your eating you have to take a break and that's okay... I know I am kinda on an unhealthy one right now (thank god we're doing Subway tonight), but not thinking about points, percentages or good/bad food can put you into a better mindset for weight loss... I'll be back on my path on Tuesday!

Cheers!

Hi guys! Kier - welcome back. Got your e-mail - I am glad your honeymoon was a good one, albiet relaxing! We're just going to Waterton for a couple of nights - we'll end up visiting his fam for the week mostly. But we're off to Europe next year - DF's fam is from Ireland and he's never been (I've been twice) so we'll start there and see where we end up!

I can't go to WW meetings for the next four weeks...why? I am out of town on business next week and the week after, then we're off to NB for vacation for 2 weeks. So I figure I'll just REALLY track and try to stay OP. I had my nutritionist look at my journals. She says I still eat a few too many carbs but the calories are right on (I need to eat more pro - I am a quantity carb eater - the more pasta, the better). Anyway, she is also a PT and we discussed a program . She's coming to my house next Fri to go over it with equipment, which is good.

Here's a success! It's the Calgary Stampede here and we have free pancake/sausage/bacon/egg breakkies everywhere every day of the 10 days. And I haven't eaten at ONE. I eat breakkie at home and get a coffee at work. Woo hoo for me. I am going to the rodeo this aft with work so we'll see how that goes -I'll avoid the mini-donuts and elephant tears! Stampede grounds SMELL of grease (which sadly appeals to me).

Becky - I agree with ALi about that. Sometimes you do need to break to gain conrol again. We seem to get frustrated or bored or I don't know what it is. But if it's working, keep it up until you are in your Zone again.

I have been thinking alot about my eating too. I know that once you lose weight (and have maintained a while) you have to, at some point, let go of counting hard and focusing. You ahve to "learn" to eat good and make good choices, but you know I don't know if I can do that. I have been tracking for so long (though sometimes not OP, I still track) that I don't know if I can get away from it. Oh well, maybe I'll journal all my life!!

Speaking of which, do any of you keep a fitness journal? My PT is giving me one. She says we dont track our Workouts well most of us and then we can't see progress or areas for improvements. I will start (next week when she gives it to me) and see how it goes. Let me know if any of you do it.

Ali - I have my fingers crossed for your move. Let us know how it goes!! Sooo excited for you! :) Don't worry, the moving and packing will burn some calories - I didn't gain at all during our move (for me, it was AFTER -yikes).

BBL :coffee:

Belle we're doing Europe next year too Ireland and Switzerland!
The smell of grease mmmmmmmmmmmm sad eh?

Hey all. Just a quicky because I didn't realize what time it was and my morning just flew by. That is how busy I have been!!!

Belle... We work with the Calgary Stampede and I agree, I love that smell. We are going to a county fair tomorrow after work for a grease fix... and Emma wants ice cream!!!

KO... packaged pizza are killer.

Ali... so what does this house look like?? Any pics??

OK, back to work, actually I get to go on lunch soon once a conference call is over and those people return! OH and I have had a belly ache since last night and it is making me feel rotten!!!

we got a pressure cooker for the shower does anyone know any good pressure cooker meals?

A quick hello to everyone - I got to volleyball last night but I ended up hanging at the pub which quickly ate up any hope I had for benefit out of my workout - oh well, I've been good today and I have a good rest of the day planned.
Kier - a friend of mine did Ribs in her pressure cooker and said it was great but I don't even know how they work - let us know about interview #2!
Belle - I have the same thing with the smell - I work at the Fair the last two weeks of summer and the smells make you crazy!!! Luckily, someone always gives me a mini donut so I don't have to buy the whole bag.
Jen - Glad you got a chance to stop by
Ali - YAY KEYS!!! Have fun moving and organizing
Becky - I love the way you said that it was your choice - I forget that every know and then but it can really help when you're packing your lunch in the morning.

OK - off to slave labour - Have a good rest of the day everyone!!
