Hi Cam,

You are back on track. You absolutely can have that treat. You planned it into your day. for the Minnie, and for WI.

Take care,
Beth

 

[keenercam]

Thank you, Beth. I should know by the end of today whether I am going to the Minnie. I am keeping my fingers crossed!

WI today wasn't what I wanted, but was better than I should have expected. I was up .8. Heck, I should have hit the ladies room before I weighed in!

Not sure of the food plan today since I'll be away from my office. So far, I've only had coffee w/skim milk. I'd better pack gum, and a whole lot of it.

Back tonight to update.

Cam,

I'm sorry to hear that you don't have a definitive answer about the Minnie yet. We'll just keep sending our prayers, , and good thoughts your way.

Hope you have a great day today and a wonderful weekend ahead!

 

[traceycooper]

Hi Cam
you must be fed up of waiting to find out about the Minnie!!!
hope you find out soon!
Have a great weekend

 

[keenercam]

Tracey - Actually, I am really frazzled about it because it's not just about the race, but also about seeing some friends that I won't see again until January if I don't get to Orlando for Minnie weekend. AND it is so hard to get motivated and train without the motivation of the race. I also have a TON of stuff I want to take down for the vow renewal and put in the owner's locker, and it would be great to take care of that over Minnie weekend, too.

Thanks Tracy & Stacie, again, for your support!

Any news yet Cam?

No, Tracey. Sadly, still no news , but I am NOT cancelling my airfare, etc. until absolutely the last possible minute.

 

[toystoryduo]

Sending more and a gentle your way.

Hope you have a great day today!

 

[keenercam]

Geez, I absolutely cannot believe how many points I ate yesterday! It didn't feel like I was eating that much at all. The overeating last night really was the result of hunger and didn't feel out of control at all. I just have to get a handle on that and use some smarter choices to address late day hunger. Of course, it didn't help that I didn't get to make dinner until after 9pm. I am learning some important concepts at my weekly WW meetings and am looking forward to continuing to implement new thought processes and behaviors with more success, hopefully getting better each day.

I was at the gym by 6:30 again this morning. I only used the elliptical and the bike, since I am still sore from my 8 miles Sunday night and the strength training yesterday morning.

Food today:
B: coffee w/skim milk (.5); apple (1)
L: grilled chicken on whole wheat wrap w/lettuce, tomato & mustard (7); diet soda
S: popcorn (2)
D: green beans (0); LC pot roast (4); lite MG english muffin (1); 2 fat free hot dogs (2)
dessert: pretzels (2); WW choc raspberry bar (1)

Activity today:
elliptical -- 1 mile -- 11:55
recumbent bike -- 7.88 miles -- 48 minutes

ETA: Thank you, Tracy!
