Thanks for the and ideas related to my strange rash. I think I figured it out after talking to my DH who helps me fold the laundry. This is what happened...I'm really allergic to grass. SO allergic that I have my DH take his clothes off in the laundry room after he cuts the lawn. I don't know what I was thinking (I wasn't) but I washed his lawn cutting clothes with my pjs. DH said he thought it was strange that my pjs were in the same load as his lawn clothes. Anyway I think the pjs picked up the grass and that's what caused the rash. I'm hoping that I can just wash and rinse them a few times to get the grass pollen out. CRAZY
I'm in the rainy boat weather area too. Just got a message that DD(6) soccer is cancelled tonight.....I'm so glad the coach let us know so early, now I don't have to worry about making the decision.
Kim
Glad you figured out the rash issue and that it wasn't anything big!
Alright... Riddle me this, Batman... What is WRONG with this picture?!?!??
I'm in a funk and eating like an idiot and I feel like crapola. So, to feel better, I KEEP eating under the maniac delusion that if I just keep shoveling it in, somehow I'm going to "get it out of my system" today and miraculously wake up sane again tomorrow morning.
And, even as I'm writing this, I'm trying to think whose candy bowl I can raid where no one will see me...
I need therapy. Seriously. This behavior cannot indicate anything other that complete psychosis.
Oh. And now I have to go to a meeting. Yeah. That'll help with the sanity!
Just KNOWING that it is a mental thing and not a "hunger" thing is a step in the right direction. You can come back from this.
Okay. Are you all ready to be my therapy? I am hoping that this is the bottom and that I will pick myself back up and get back to normal. So here is the confession....
I am sure you have all thought I have disappeared for good...I haven't but I will say that I would love to consider it in some ways. I was going to promise myself to come here tonight, confess my sins and then get my life back in order - including posting all the information for the HH Challenge. Turns out my DD is sick as can be, my son didn't tell me he needed all kinds of things for school tomorrow and there is an application that I must have in tomorrow. This is exactly how things have been going and partly why I have been missing in action. Things have been a bit more then I seriously think I can handle at times and no...I did not get the job I interviewed for on Monday. I keep thinking that I am strong but I am beginning to think that I have a breaking point. I promise that I am not giving up on things but I have so not followed my plan at all and I have not run since Saturday. I am not sure I even feel like running right now. I used to think that running made me stronger but it is not.
I think that I have been punishing myself all week. In fact the day I got the call that I didn't get the job, I opened a one pound bag of licorice and ate the whole darn thing. I knew better and I still ate every last piece. I am normally this totally in control person who takes care of everyone - my family, my friends, my students, etc. I am normally a very positive person who tries to help everyone else think positive. Turns out since August, since I have had to try to find a new job, I am discovering that it is always hard to be positive. This past week has been horrible. As I said, I am not eating right, I am not exercising, I didn't get the job and I have felt like I am basically a loser. Yep, I know that is not the truth when I think rationally but right now that is not happening.
Okay, I know I am going around and around. Basically, I am just wanting you all to know that even though I want to be here for all of you...I might not be the best at it right now. I am sorry. It is just that taking care of myself right now is hard. So I hope you all forgive me if I "disappear" for a few days here and there. I am not quitting though and I know that I can't go back because that would make me really disappointed in me.
I am not going to say that I am done with the pity party (I know I should be). I guess I just feel bad about things and hope you all understand.
I will be back to post the Healthy Habits tasks for the week and such. I have to first go check on my daughter but I will be back.
Jen
We KNOW you aren't quitting.... but you are juggling too many balls right now and one of those balls has hit the ground. Unfortunately it was the "take care of myself" ball. For us women/moms/wives, that is USUALLY the ball that takes the fall.
Do the BEST YOU CAN for the time being, until things settle down and you can pick up that ball again. You can still make healthy meal choices. You can still journal your food..... even if you aren't eating exactly the foods that you think you should. You have learned so many HEALTHY HABITS.... they won't all fall by the wayside within a few crazy weeks. You WILL get through this time.... and hopefully come out stronger and happier in the end.
My dh isn't obese, but he thinks he's invincible and doesn't watch what he eats, doesn't exercise often. It's frustrating when you're trying to adapt a healthier lifestyle and they are eating chips at 10 at night! Just because the bloodwork looks ok, doesn't mean someone doesn't have health problems. My mom, who is one of the fittest people I know, has had two heart attacks in the last couple of years. 90 % blockage each time. The last one was a week after her tests results showed she was in excellent health.
I know nagging isn't the way to go about it, but how do you get your dh on board with you? Anyone have any ideas?
WEll.... if I knew the answer to that question I could make a million dollars!!

My DH is also overweight and out of shape. And it seems that even after 3 years of living with a full-time Weight Watcher and regular exerciser, it still hasn't set any example. You have to want to do it FOR YOURSELF!! You can't make him do it.... you can't do it for him. And I agree.... when they get those "healthy" blood results, it just makes them push their heads further in the sand! My DH has a STRONG family history of diabetes and high blood pressure. But yet that doesn't seem to spur him on to get healthier. I'm not sure what will. Wish there was a magic pill for it. I love him and it scares me that my kids might end up losing their father early. I know that sounds dramatic, but it is true!! That would break their hearts! But what can you say to them.... they KNOW they are overweight.... they KNOW they are unhealthy. They need to find the motivation in themselves. All you can do is LEAD BY EXAMPLE. Good luck.
I'm sure pjlla will be on soon with the QOTD. Hope she didn't have problems with the storm.
After the stove issue (which I will likely be without for a week + and cost me probably $500), I got an email EOB from ins. co. After receiving a letter from UHC saying they would pay for DDs mouth splint (TMJ), the denied it! Of course it is already ordered special fitted - $2100

. DH called and was told it was because the letter dated 7/20 was only good if it was done 6/28 - 7/28, but it says that NO WHERE and I called in the day after the fitting, gave them the ref. number so they could tell me what my copay would be & they never said not covered due to dates. So now we have to appeal & pray they pay. Said they can't because they can't approve something that was done not during the approved time frame. Nice if they would have mentioned to us or Dr that time window & Gee, by the time we got the letter, they gave us all of about 48 hours to get in & get it done. I am livid & sick!
Keep after UHC. We have them for the first time this year and it has been NOTHING but hassles! DH found a doctor through the UHC website. He saw the doctor a few times.... and THEN UHC told him that it wasn't an approved provider!! He told them over and over that the doctor was listed right on their own website! And they CONFIRMED THIS FACT! But then insisted that it was some kind of mistake and that he wasn't really an approved provider!! They took this doctor from the website after that.... but then he re-appeared as an approved provider about a week later!! And they are STILL denying DH's bills from this doctor!! How crazy is that!!?? We aren't going to let this one go.... fortunately, DH is good about following up with stuff like this. Honestly though.... this borders on FRAUD in my mind. Keep after them!!
Happy Saturday! I'm afraid that pjlla had her power knocked out in the storm or is ill because I haven't heard from her and she hasn't been on the boards since Thursday night. I'm sending some

her way that everything is all right.

I'm more worried about her than coaching.
I am worried about pam too. I hope everythings ok.
PJILLA - I am soooo worried about you. I am hoping that the storms knocked out your internet or something "minor".

that everything is okay!
Taryn
Pamela- We're worried about you and we hope all is ok.
... day by day because I really hope pjlla is back soon -- we are all worried about her. pjlla

that you are back with us soon.
PD to Pam. I hope everything is okay.
Just checking in to see if Pamela had checked in. Times like these I wish we had phone numbers... Hope you understand what I mean and don't feel like I am a stalker.
I am hoping that pjlla will be back in the morning. I do hope that you are alright Pamela.
pjlla: I hope you are alright!
Pamela-

Hope you're ok and online again soon.
I am so touched that so many of you were concerned about me! Honestly, it brings me to tears! Wish I had RL friends that were so concerned! Sorry to make you all worry for nothing.
I'll post a qotd for today. Have a great sunday.
QOTD Sunday- Since we're all disney fans, when did your love for all things disney begin? Did you get the disney magic from the first time you entered a disney park, or was it a love that gradually built up?
My love for Disney began early with the Sunday night TV shows. DGmother and DGfather visited WDW a few times when it first opened and enthralled us with stories about it! I can remember seeing WDW ticket books in their junk drawer! (What I wouldn't give to have those now!)
I took my first trip to WDW with my parents, brother, and grandparents in 1974 and was officially HOOKED! It was truly a magical trip (for kids who had never been out of New England.... never farther from home than a 2 hour drive, it was unbelievable!). It was just the MK and it was absolutely unforgettable. I am fortunate enough to have HOME MOVIES from that trip!!
Sadly, we didn't return until 1983.... took a short trip to see the new EPCOT Center when we went to FL for spring break to visit family friends. It POURED the entire day at Epcot, but it was an amazing thing to see. And our day at MK was nice, but was missing the magic from our childhood (I was in college at this point).
Next visit.... My Disney Honeymoon... it was fun and fabulous and everything.... but I didn't crave a quick return.
Fastforward to late 2001.... the tragedy of 9/11 dropped tourism to record lows and hotel prices to a rock bottom. Combine that with some frequent flier miles that needed to be used and we planned our first family trip with the kids for January 2002. It was SO MUCH FUN, but sadly DS was afraid of many, many things. It was great fun, but wasn't quite as magical as I had hoped. But the memories from that trip are priceless.
Returned in 2004 and it was absolutely a fabulous trip..... as was DL in 2005 and WDW in 2008 again! We are hooked (the kids and I... not so much DH). We talk Disney, dream Disney, think Disney.... you name it!
Want to share something sweet AK did. I had told her that money was extremely tight. (I was having one of those moments, and was a horrible mommy and actually told her that making the house payment was going to be hard this month. Yes, it's going to be hard, but I shouldn't have burdened her with that). Anyway, she has an overnight, charter bus field trip to Jamestown and Williamsburg in November. Its' $150. I thought the next payment was due tomorrow, but it was Friday. She told me after school that her payment had been due that day, and she used her birthday money and paid it herself. I was so proud... I will repay her. I had told her to hang onto her birthday money for spending money for the trip, so I'll make sure she gets it back before then..
Taryn
OMG! This story is so touching. You should be SO PROUD of your mature, responsible, caring little lady!! You are raising her RIGHT!!
Dh and I went to WDW on our Honeymoon in 1992. We had a nice time, but that was not the catalyst for our love of Disney. We stayed in a tent in 100 degree weather. It was so hot and we had no where to go to get out of it. Top that off with sleeping on a plastic blow up mattress...well you get the idea.
We flew down with all of our gear [2 bags each] and used Mears transportation to get us to and from the airport. We relied on WDW transportation otherwise. There were only 3 parks and MGM was brand new, very small. River Country was open, but also small. We had plenty of time in a week to do everything we wanted to, but with the heat I can honestly say that we were ready to come home.
Our next trip was in 1998 when DS1 was 2 1/2 and DS2 was 6 months. It was so very different seeing it through the eyes of my children. That is when our love of Disney truly began. We've been in the summer many times since, but the heat isn't nearly as bad when you have air conditioning while sleeping

Since then we've made a dozen trips and bought DVC. We're always trying to fit in the next trip, but also try to plan trips elsewhere every third year or so as we want our kids to experience different parts of America and different parts of the world.
When were you there in 1992? We were there May 18 - 22. STayed at Carribean Beach Resort. Beautiful week.
Morning Everyone!
I will come back on later and reply to some of the posts but I am going to do a quick post now and then come back later and reply.
Yesterday we drove up (early in the morning) to our cabin and finished closing it up for the winter. The boat is now winterized and covered and the cabin is cleaned and closed up. It was a really long day and then we drove back home.
My mom and her boyfriend came to our house to have a late dinner and spend the night. We ordered pizza and she had brought a cake for my birthday. Overall it was not that bad of an eating day (normally my weekends are horrible). I did have some pizza and a small piece of cake but I had eaten light the rest of the day so it was fine.
Today we have had a lazy morning since my mom was here. We cut the coupons (good coupons so we bought 4 papers this week) and watched "Elf" (yes, it is only October but we love this moving). Mom and her boyfriend have left now though so we are going to have some light toast and then go running. It is only about 40° here this morning so I need to pull out some warmer running gear. DH and I are going to run to our favorite park and run around the lake a few times. We have not run all week so we have decided that we will do slow running and walk when needed but at least we will get out and enjoy the day.
Taryn & CC (and anyone else who is trying to watch finances)...I am totally into saving money with coupons and have huge amounts that I am trading with some other people. Even with that...I do have some to share if you are at all interested. Send me a PM or post and we can chat about what coupons would help your family!
Be back later....
Jen
I hope it was a very happy birthday!
I'd love to talk about sharing coupons too!
I officially have sinus infection #2 of the year I feel like someone punched me in both eyes, my teeth hurt and the motion of walking hurts my head. I started antibiotics this morning so hopefully I'll start feeling better soon.
Weren't you already on a Z-pack recently for a sinus infection? Are you sure that it is a NEW infection? Maybe the first one never cleared completely. Whatever the case.... hope you are better verysoon.
BRAD JUST LEFT FOR HIS LAST SUNDAY NIGHT ON 3rd SHIFT!!! I hope I'm not hinging too much on life being wonderful once he's back on 1st! We've kinda gotten used to not having each other around, hope we can transition to co-existing again well. Does that make sense?
Have a great evening. I'm sure I'll be back later!
Taryn
I KNOW it means a LOT to you to have Brad back on first shift! Glad his 3rd shift time is coming to an end!
I just got home from work and have to post what happened. I can't believe it!
This morning when I left for work, I left a steak in the kitchen sink to thaw for my husband's dinner. I had a piece of salmon in the fridge for myself. When we got home, I looked in the sink and it was gone! After searching the house, I found the empty, bloody bag on the floor of the dining room. A short distance away was about half of the thawed, chewed up steak. We came to the conclusion that the cat dragged it out of the sink and into the dining room, then she and the dog worked together to get the bag open. And then I guess the dog took it from there. (I have caught them working together before to get into a closed garbage bag). My poor husband decided to go get himself take out instead of waiting for me to go buy him another steak. I learned my lesson, no food is safe in this house anymore! That cat is an instigator. These things never happened when it was just the dog! But we love her anyway.
They always are....
As you were laughing at my post, I was finding yours hilarious! Today was the first Sunday since football started that my husband didn't lose on his fantasy football. And the Browns won! I'm sure everyone knows how rare that is! Every Sunday up until now I couldn't wait to leave the house to go do my exercise!
I have a small (or big) milestone to report! I haven't been able to wear my wedding rings for about two and a half years now, they weren't sized properly when we got them, but I had been able to squeeze them on at first. On a whim, I just went to try them on. They fit better than when I first got them! (still a tiny bit tight, but wearable) I am so excited! My coworkers don't even know what they look like, lol. The funny thing is, just about three months ago I tried to put them on and couldn't even come close!
Nice NSV!! If you are losing weight in your fingers, you are DEFINITELY losing all over!!
woo hoo - had to share some great news I just got! I got a job I really wanted...it's a 6 month scoring project that runs Jan - June next year, at home with decent pay. The start of a series of good things!
Definitely the start of MANY good things!!
Our brother-in-law fell down the stairs at his house and broke his shoulder -- had emergency surgery today and ended up with a joint replacement. Still waiting to hear what kind of recovery he will be looking at.
MIL was in Iowa moving her sister's things out of assisted living because the sister has been in a nursing home due to a broken leg for four months and is probably not going back to assisted living. They managed to prove that even at 82 and 89 you are never too old to fight with your sister! She is frantic to get back home to help with the patient.
But the good news is that I worked out with my trainer today and I survived! Tomorrow I will try a Nia class -- a more ethnic version of Zumba as I understand it. Last Chance Workout on Wednesday and 50 minutes on the TM Thursday takes me through the calorie burn I need this week even before counting my steps at DL!
And my trainer -- I knew that she was rough, tough, stuff -- is going to Boise for the State Roller Derby Championships -- she is a roller derby queen!
Have a great evening all!
Prayers for your BIL and MIL.... it seems that everything happens at once, doesn't it??
Good luck with your "roller derby queen" trainer!!
Good morning all!
The days are getting shorter, school activities are in full swing, there are so many things going on in our lives that are pulling us away from our goals. Maybe you've had a bad week or two. Maybe you are just tired of this whole healthy lifestyle thing. Maybe your inner brat is crying "I don't wanna!" Whatever it is, take a deep breath (maybe a few more). Let your mind calm a bit and ask yourself how giving up on yourself is going to make anything else that is going on in your life any easier? The answer probably is that it won't. So even if it is only one thing today, do something nice for yourself, anything that helps you take one little baby step toward your goals, and pat yourself on the back for a job well done. We are all winners when we stick things out through the good times and the bad! Remember last week how everyone said that they would never give up?
How did you get so smart??
Hello!
I am back from my girls weekend in CA and I am even further behind on this thread! I went to DL on Sunday and did my first 8am to midnight day. It was so much fun! I did have my mickey ice cream bar (330 calories for anyone looking to plan for one on a future trip) but I planned for it and actually lost a half a pound this weekend! I'm so happy I didn't gain! The Halloween decorations were cute and it was very warm. Living in Colorado, it didn't feel very fall like but it was a nice change. I'll try to at least skim through here so I can see how everyone is doing. Have a great day!
You LOST weight on a vacation? I think I have to hate you!
Hello everyone
My name is Crystal and I'm joining you all!
I'm 25yrs old, mom of two (ds will be 4 in Jan, and dd is 7 weeks tomorrow). I live in BC, Canada.
I still have "baby weight" and would like to lose it. I also have some "non-baby" weight that I need to get rid of as well. I'm thinking I NEED to lose about 50lbs to be in my goal weight range according to my BMI.
We are keeping all pop/soda out of the house, and other than a few treats for my ds and hubby I won't be replenishing any junk food from now on, because it's too easy to grab an unhealthy snack when it's laying around!
Last night I did about 30 mins of the Zumba workout. Tonight I will either use the treadmill for awhile or do some of the 30 Day Shred workout.
I hope everyone is doing well today and staying on track.
Thanks for letting me join
Glad to have you aboard!!!

To all my BL friends, this sweet young lady could use all our prayers today. She is a friend of my oldest.
Short story long- she went to Barcelona for a quick two week vacation with a girlfriend and after 4 days was in a coma and on Dialysis. Her parents flew over and have been there ever since. We have known them since ds was in 6th grade. Makes me thankful for my boring little life every day and how fast it can change.
Thanks!!
Sad, sad story. Definitely adding her to my prayer list for today.
Hi Taryn. I was actually writing up a post at the time you posted this, but I lost the stupid thing!
Hey everybody.
I'm sorry that I haven't been around much. I just haven't had much to say.
I've been struggling with *excessive* junk eating. Like I'm only happy if I'm actively shoving some sugary/salty/greasy food into my mouth. Not that it really makes me happy, but it's the only time that I'm not obsessed with what to eat next. It's not a particularly "hormonal" time for me. No major stressors or changes. Just "Katy, bar the door" binge eating. It was so bad last night, that when I ran out of food options that interested me, I got in the car and went to the convenience store for ice cream.
I didn't even weigh-in this week. I just really didn't want to know.
And that's why I haven't been posting. Anything I had to say was just going to be whining and, did anyone really need to hear that from me - AGAIN!? I've been too whiny in my own head. I can't stand me and, for that reason, I didn't think y'all needed to be subjected to me either. And, while I love the support that we offer each other here,
I really just couldn't have handled it if someone said that "it's okay" because the way I've been abusing myself is, most definitely, NOT okay. I hope you understand what I mean.
As nutty as this sounds, I have come to the conclusion that I know EXACTLY what I need to do to acquire and maintain the healthy body that I want. And now that I can see where I'm going and how to get there, it's like I'm stuck in a perpetual "I'll start tomorrow" phase.
I told my mom over lunch today that I'm going to put myself back "on the wagon" - at gunpoint, if necessary.

(AFTER lunch, of course) I'm to the point where, if I'm ever going to get out of this *junk funk* it's going to take pure, hard-core, mind-over-matter, conscious will-power and it's time to give up the whiny, wimpy, I'll-start-tomorrow BULL. If I keep waiting until I "feel like it", I'm gonna gain 30 pounds before I get my act together and NOBODY wants that.
And, with that, I just wanted to say "I'm back". I still may not get to reply to as many people as I'd like or post as often as I'd like because I've got a couple of work projects that will be occupying all of my work time each day and some of my personal time most evenings between now and the end of January. But, I'm back.
Two victories amidst the insanity...
1) Although I did have a couple of regular sodas (all natural Blue Sky brand) and tea sweetened with a little stevia/Truvia over the past week,
I have managed to stay away from the Diet Cokes, etc, since... whenever it was that I said I had my last one. (I posted it here, but I don't really remember when it was... 4 or 5 weeks ago, I guess.??)
2) And, although, I've been blowing off all of my non-running workouts,
I have been getting in two good runs each week - a regular (approx 5 mile) run every Tuesday and a long run each Saturday. Last weekend I did 9.33 miles in 1hr 40mins. I'm extremely pleased with that and looking forward to crossing the 10-mile mark this weekend. However, I'm also signed up to walk the AHA Heart Walk this Saturday morning, so I'm not sure how I'm going to get it all in. I'm afraid it may require getting out of bed around 4:30.

Surely, the only thing crazier than willingly running 10 miles would have to be willingly getting out of bed at 4:30am to run 10 miles.

And I'm not worried about dragging my tired self around the Heart Walk after a 10-mile run - I'll be walking with my 3yo, so I won't be in any hurry at all.
This is a big issue for me. I am the type that, if I could be invisible, I would be. I've mentioned before how, rather than comment on my weight loss, I'd rather someone just say "you look great" or keep their mouth shut. Unless I choose to discuss my personal stuff with someone, my current size, my previous size(s) and what I eat (or don't eat) are NOBODY'S BUSINESS. I do my best just to let it pass when someone comments, but the truth is that it just galls me. I usually end up just sitting there being annoyed. And that's whether the comment is "you must be on a diet" or "not on a diet today, huh?". And what I DON'T say (outloud) is "That's really none of your business, so why don't you take your donut/cake/cookie and shove it up your". Like I said... this one really bugs me.
Through all of this you managed to highlight not one, but TWO victories! That is the kind of positive thinking that will get you through this tough time! And YOU ARE RIGHT.... it isn't okay!!! You AREN'T taking care of yourself.... and friends want the best for each other and we want the best for you! And if you aren't taking care of yourself, you aren't making us happy!!
Looks like I struck a nerve with the QOTD!!
I am hooked on Vitatops after reading the boards last week and they are only 1 point on the WW. I ordered the chocolate variety pack of Vitatops on-line last week since my local stores didn't have enough of a variety and they asked me what flavor I would like to see, so I said Pumpkin.
Thanks!! Maybe they will come through with a pumpkin Vitatop.... wouldn't that be delicious!!??
Hello fellow BL challengers! I am soo excited to be on the top ten list this week. I thought it might be time to say hello. I wanted to tell you all how VERY motivating this board has been for me. Many of your stories have brought me to tears. You never know who may be reading this board and I wanted you to know that you are touching lives. When I think about not exercising or wanting to pig out I think about my online "friends" and what would they say??? (Yes, I do have a whole imaginary world going on in my head)
A little about me....I am a homesick American who followed my husband's job to Germany. We are not military; hubby has just been asked to work for his parent company for 3 years. We have completed 1 year and we have 2 years to go. 21 months to be exact.
I participated in a Dis thread for my August cruise and it was so much fun to meet other families before we sailed. Then, I found this thread and again I am getting a lot out of it!
I have a milestone birthday coming up in February and decided last February to lose 50 lbs to match my birthday the next year. Well, up until I found this board I had only lost 11 lbs but I have lost 6 more since joining here!!!
I have quit drinking diet soda and started journalling my food. I try to walk or "wog" every day, do 25 minutes on my elliptical and I take a Yoga class twice a week. When you get older, it gets MUCH, MUCH harder to move the scale. I am not sure if I will make it to 50 lbs but I am going to keep trying.
Good luck to everyone here, keep the good advice and tips coming.
Shawn
OH YES......I do have 2 questions:
1. Is it OK to use a "15 lbs lost" clippie in my sig even if I didn't lose them on this challenge? (lost some before)
2. Is there a shortcut way to get to this thread?
Thanks
First of all.... thanks for sharing a bit more about yourself!
And for your questions.... I say go ahead with the clippie! You lost it, you earned it! And as for a short cut.... I set my homepage to the Disboards. Then it is quick enough to scroll down to the WISH boards and then click on this thread.... but I think you could set your homepage to bring you directly to the WISH boards.
"If it was easy, everyone could do it. You are the one who will make it. And don't forget the finish line pose!"
Here's to all of us doing the finish line pose!
We ALL really need this today!! Thanks.
Good morning from a real "loser" (and not the good kind!)
I went on vacation 2 weeks ago and have come back and have been terrible! I can't seem to get my eating under control and am gaining instead of losing. I am not only frustrated but am getting discouraged. However, the first step is admitting it and moving on...so here I am!
I am jumping back in with 2 feet and hope to see a loss this week. I haven' sent in my updated weight as I am embarrassed, but will this week.
Thanks for being here...I'll catch up on posts tonight after work!
You are back... you posting, and you are ready to get back on plan! You are doing it! The control will return!
I'm journalling my food, but last night for dinner, I didn't feel like grilling in the rain, so we had bacon and eggs for supper, which was sooooo good. I haven't had bacon in a long time. I did over indulge, and thought the scale would be up this morning, but is wasn't, so I'm happy. I have to take michael for a flu shot and then to the dentist after school, so after I thought I'd treat him to something fun, either indoor mini-golf or a movie. Don't know what's out for kids movies right now.
I didn't exercise yesterday, so need to do something after work. I'm ready for the rain to be done now so we can get out.
Have a good day.
My Mom used to make bacon and fried eggs for dinner a few times a year when we were kids.... it was an ENORMOUS treat!! (Remember, my Mom was healthy before it was fashionable to be healthy!!). Glad you had a good dinner, despite the rain!
Okay.....I've made it through the marathon of pages I had missed!! I actually only missed 11 pages.... not 15.
Sorry if I missed anything really vital. I did the best I could to read everything. I was all set to hit the TM now, but the satellite dish guys are here now, so it will have to wait until after lunch. I've been sitting here reading and replying since about 8:30 am!! My legs are asleep and I need to pee!!
Another somewhat busy day here.... but we were also supposed to be painting the house but it is raining, so that gave us a bit of a break. I'll do the usual laundry, dishes, cooking, vacuuming and then I need to do the usual kid-taxiing this afternoon.
I'm off to chat about last night's BL show...................P
