Hello Angel, April, Sassy, Mom:

OK gals .. hope you don't mind me starting the November thread ... let's get back on the wagon and start posting our journals again! I'll be back later with mine - good or bad! Still trying to get rid of this nasty head cold ... how's everyone else doing?

Well, hope to see some action here soon.

Love, CJ

Hi CJ,

I am still visiting in Windsor, Ontario with family. I have a cold....it seems everyone here has it also.....cough, congestion, headache & feeling tired.

I go home a week from today. When I get home.....I will start back with the programme....counting points. It's too hard when you are away from home.

Have a great weekend everyone.

April

thank you......
 

Thank you CJ for starting the next thread/month. I was feeling sorry for myself for not doing so well and was....well....er...going to fade away into the background for awhile but seeing your post made me come to post!!! SO THANKYOU!!!! TY TY TY TY !!! I will post my journal but remember, you said good or bad.
I will pop in later with my journal once I write it down and figure it all out. (hehe) Hope your day was good.

Hi everyone,

I am still here....still visiting family....& getting anxious to go home to DH & my own bed. I leave Saturday for home.

Still have this virus going around.....my breathing sounds like a whistle when I lay down......the cough is like a bark at times....think & I am improving some.

Right now am staying at my brother's house. Today am having a quiet relaxing day.....will surf the net.

Will get back to doing WW when I get home.

Have a great day everyone.

April:lol: :lol: :)

Ok Angel - no fading away or hiding! Lelt's start fresh! WE CAN DO THIS!

Hi CJ. I had good intentions of posting my journals, but after the tallying up......I was way over in my pts and ashamed of the 'impulse sweets' that I ate. Suffice to say that my pts were
W E I G H O V E R !!!!(pun intended) I'm having difficulty in breaking the cycle of those darn fun size halloween bars!!!! I must also be retaining water big time, because my rings are so tight on my now sausage like fingers. I am here in spirit as I don't want you to be alone and here all by yourself. I do want to start fresh but really need to do 'baby steps' to get there.

April99.....poor you!!! I'm sure you don't know if you're supposed to bark or whistle......definitely not good!!! Have you tried some vicks vapour rub? My mother used to swear by that stuff and even go so far as to put some up our noses when we were young....yuck, but it works!!! Do get some rest and try looking for a cough syrup at the drug store next time....its called Delsym. I just used this and highly reccommend it. Just another tip; try getting it in the time release/orange formula because it is so much better tasting than the other. tc

Tuesday and Wednesday journals ...
 

Angel: Thanks for posting "in spirit" ... now, I understand about taking baby steps to get back OP - that is what I am doing ... but I have to journal to get there ... so here is Tues and Wed journals ... maybe tomorrow will be better.

April: hope you are feeling better ... finally I am starting to feel "human" again ... colds are such nasty creatures!

OK ... and now for my "confessions" for the last 2 days.

okay.....here it is.
 

Hi CJ. Thanks for making me stick with it. I tallied up my "disasterous" (sp?) day yesterday and actually it wasn't too bad. So today, I've started with BABY STEPS, and have begun to write in my journal. Did you happen to watch yesterdays' Oprah show? She had several 300+lb ladies on and made an effort to uncover the 'real reason' for the uncontroable eating patterns. It hit a nerve with me and I'm going to try harder. Another reason to be back (with full force) is I saw a picture of me while volunteering at my son's school and I was really taken aback.....I look about 5 mos pregnant. Why is it that most the weight shifts to the tummy? Well, thats all I need.....is for someone to come up and congratulate me. NOT!!!! So here I am with my babysteps:

Wednesday Journal
rice krispies
skim milk............................5

pogo dog
cooked apples
1/2 cupcake.......................11

4 mini choc. bars.................8

1c skim milk

A better day than I thought, my pt range is 27-31 pts. Only over by my top end by 3 pts.

grapes...................................1

come out come out....where ever you are????
 

Hi CJ. Where are you girl? I'm hoping you're just busy and still on plan. Hope to see you soon.
My weekend was a blur. Why is it when you are young and without responsibility that the days just drag on? Remember summer vacation? And now, the days just fly by and days blur into each other and then another week is gone!! Dh and my 9 yr old son were away camping with boy scouts, so my 5 yo and I were left to have a special "mom and son" weekend. I took him to see the new movie Santa Claus 2.......it was really good. I guess I was in a silly mood, at times I was the only adult laughing but then most times during a "G" rating movie, I find that the grownups don't laugh because they don't get into the silly kind of humour of their kids. Anyway......it was very special as my son was pointing to Santa, waving at Santa.....perfect for someone who still believes in Santa!!!! what a great age!!!
I didn't weigh myself last friday as I just jumped on the bandwagon on Thursday, so I'll be weighing myself this week for the first time in a while. FINGERS CROSSED!!!
Hopefully I will be back to posting my journal today. I was writing it down but just not making it to the computer. Days were alright, most were eating to my max pt range. So we'll have to see on Friday.
Have a good day!!

Hi CJ & Angel Eyes,

I have never posted my food journal before....but do write down what I eat everyday. Do you think it helps to post it? Maybe I should think about doing that.

I got back from my trip on Saturday....it was 13 hours from the time I left Windsor until I arrived home. It sure was a long day....with 3 hours in the Toronto airport & 3 hours in the Vancouver airport. Now I am trying to recuperate from the 3 hour time difference.

Yesterday I got back with doing WW....just at home on my own. I did well with being OP yesterday.

When I got off the plane Saturday....it was snowing. It was also snowing yesterday morning. I guess winter is here to stay.

April:) ;)

Hi Girls: I'm here - just been busy. Starting to feel a bit more "human" now (getting rid of the nasty ole cold) ... I have been trying to journal - even if it's bad .. main thing is to journal every day .. then I can get it more OP! Doing pretty fair .. sorry haven't been posting it here .. actually, haven't been online too much .. been really busy. But .... will get back in the groove SOON!

April: I think it is helpful to journal also on here - makes us a little more accountable when we know someone else is going to be looking at it .. especially since we are doing this at home on our own and not doing meetings.

Angel: Good luck on your WI tomorrow (Friday) ... I haven't weighed myself this week at all ... actually I keep forgetting to and then remember after I have eaten ... lol ... I'll weigh myself tomorrow to ... I'll be back later and get my journal up ..

Well, hope to hear from you guys soon!

CJ
