Morning UM! IS Twinkie back yet? Did you hear from her?
Two things, Heather....they serve English Toffee Cappucino AT YOUR CHURCH??? Wow! Gotta talk to the folks at church! Just bad coffee and doughnuts at my church.
Don't feel bad about what you ate...it's a new week! I drank NO water this weekend at all and I do better at work too. Let's make it a good one!
No school here today so I'll be around some...maybe..
I start back to work next Monday! I am so depressed cause I have no self control! Dan has been gone for 3 weeks this week and I have eaten BADLY! I have not lost any weight.. I had to buy clothes to start my new job. FAT clothes. My fat clothes are tooo tight.. I need to be more disciplined.spelling)
Dan and I are gonna start selling Tupperware. (hopefully we will do well)
I need to Lose weight!! I thinkI am gonna go and drink Slim fast twice a day for meals and eat once a day. to get a jump start.. (please dont flame me)
I am your biggest cheerleader.. and I am so proud of all of you. I am just not good to myself.
I just keep getting bigger and bigger.
Dan and I are planning on coming to the 5k next Jan. That is my goal!!!!
Morning Peeps! I'll just apologize now because, while I was able to skim through and get somewhat caught up, I know I won't have to time to comment and respond as I'd like. And I'm afraid it'll be like this for some time: school is taking a LOT more of my time this semester and my DISing will have to take a backseat. So please know that I am reading, and I am thinking of each of you and wishing you all the best in every challenge and joy you face, even if I can't type all that out!![]()
I will offer this thought for the week...
I'm so frustrated with my current state of choosing between foods that I enjoy and make me happy vs. achieving a weight it's almost impossible for me to maintain. For some background, I come from the world of the Ballet and spent most of my impressionable years in it. No, I'm not anorexic and never had an eating disorder, but I do have a ridiculous self-image of my body as being "round" if I carry any body fat at all. The only time in my adult life I was satisfied with my body was the year following my divorce, when, thanks to stress, I'd gotten down to 102 pounds. Remember, I am 5' tall, so this wasn't dangerously thin at all, and I did look good. But I couldn't eat well and maintain that, which is why I'm up 10 pounds now.
Anyway, my new resolve is to stop thinking about weight altogether. To stop trying to whip my body into a shape it ain't ever gonna be. To accept that I'll never wear skinny jeans and that no one other than Kate Moss or Heidi Klum should be wearing them, either. As of today, I'm working on just getting healthy for the sake of being healthy. I'll limit my intake of empty calories, but I will not eliminate them. I'll make exercise and sleep priorities. I'll stop worrying about calories and eat when I'm hungry, do something else when I'm not. And I'll just buy clothing that flatters my body, pear-ish shape and all.
I'll still be here, if you'll have me! But I may opt out of the weigh-ins in favor of Health Check-Ins to keep me accountable. LY/MI guys! We can all meet our goals if we just find what works for us and keep supporting one another through it all. I'm so proud of you all!

Good morning Peeps!
First of all -This is my 200th post!
Woo-hooty! Not a lot I know but still a milestone for me!
Secondly, I recovered nicely from my little slip up saturday night. The cereal bars are no longer around and I stayed right on track yesterday making good choices. I know that we can all do this. I'm guilty myself of knowing exactly what needs to be done but in those "moments" there is nothing that I say that makes me stop. I will have to try harder to tell myself that it isn't worth it because it's not!
Thirdly, I'm getting sick. I think. I woke up yesterday with a sort of stuffed nose and scratchy throat that feels like it doubled in size. But it went away and I felt better. Well this morning when I woke up the throat didn't hurt as bad but my nose is stuffy and running. I keep fighting this stupid cold that I thought I was getting a week ago! I wish I could either get it and get it over with or have nothing at all. I think a lot of it is stress from school. The paperwork is neverending and I am never home it feels like. I hate it. But I'm almost done - sort of.
Fourthly, I spent a lot of last night building a website for my cookie company. I'd like to be able to sell them to family friends and friends of friends, etc. since I can't really market myself to the public. All of my baking is done at home so I can't get a health license from the state so I'm relying on word of mouth people that I know trust me. But anyway, that website thing is hard and I'm even using templates.
Well there was probably someone that I wanted to quote and respond to but I didn't. Sorry. I hope everyone has a great week! I hope everyone is satisfied with their how they are reaching their goals this week! I hope everyone gets healthy (if you already aren't) and stays as stress free as possible!![]()
