Good morning, 
Amanda!! 
your way! 
for the day because my choices were not all that bad.
) Now if I can lose the last 2 lbs and maintain it. Hey, Amanda. Glad to see you've got your plan for today. 
Curves tomorrow a.m. sounds like the right thing to do. Sleep this weekend sounds like more fun, but you'll be glad you exercised. Sometimes we have to "just do it" and then take a nap! 
) Plan for the day: for me today for food, water, and exercise. However I probaby drowned my little 's with alcohol last night. We went to a pig roast which was a lot of fun and the hostess was serving my favorite - Cosmopolitans! Needles to say my head is a little foggy this morning but I think I will survive. 
I did earn for water yesterday though!
Sounds like you'll have plenty for the week to come!
Why can I not get back into the groove of any kind of diet. I just can't seem to maintain a diet, and I can't seem to shed any pounds with all the workouts I'm doing. The funny thing is that all my size 12 clothes are still fitting. At last year at 165lbs I was in a size 14. So I guess I am maintaining the inches lost just not the pounds. I don't know what to think! And if anyone can give me any insight I would appreciate it. on my face before I hit everyones journals.
for you, dear Amanda. 
I can empathize with your feelings about your weight - I am in the same boat. The numbers just keep creeping up, little by little. It is downright depressing! 
) I ALWAYS carried an extra 10 pounds. It will take time for your body to adjust after stopping them, and by "time" I mean more than a week or two. Try to be patient with your body and give it time to find it's own equilibrium. This isn't a process you can rush. Just keep doing the right things - eating healthy, drinking water, exercising. These things are all important for you and will carry you through. Hang in there, sweetie. Thank you for your friendship and your support. Know that I'm in PA cheering you on 
and sending good positive thoughts your way . team is struggling right now, but we have each other, and we're going to be OK. 
You, Doreen, Beth, and I are never going to give up--we've proven we're in this for the long haul and we're going to ride this rocky road together and give each other strength.
You've planned your meals for today--that's great! You know that these things will help you focus and make you feel more in control. You eat out and socialize a lot, Amanda, and that makes things extra hard, but you can do this!
Amanda,
(insert scale here) 
and even though I don't want to - I need to go back to counting carbs. I know this works for me, it has worked before and it will work again. I am however making one adjustment - Erin made a good point to me - I socialize alot and go out. I'm 25! None of my friends ever diet (brats!) and I don't like to draw attention to myself by eating healthy stuff. So, I am going to give myself one free day per week. This week my free day will be Friday since it will be my cousin's wedding - and I don't know what will be served.
I hope today is a better day for you! Your pic is great! You look different than what I remember. Where is your cruise journal I want to see your pics? 
Things at my job as many of you know has not been good - yesterday was no different. But I managed to stay on plan, and I feel better because of it. I am extremely tired and I crashed last night. I slept through my alarm this morning so no Curves for me today. I wish I could say I feel more rested after my crash - but I don't. for food, rest day, and vitamins. I only got in 6 glasses of water.
for you, dear Amanda. Hang in there! Things will get better.
Work stress is the worst!
