Ok, I know I'm a few day overdue for a check in. I was such a laxy bum yeterday, I didn't get off the sofa all day. I didn't get dressed or take a shower either. It was kind of nice being a bum but I felt so bad by the end of the night. I really felt like a sloth. It did help me get motivated for the week though and I did really good today.
I think I set a new record for water today: 4 liters!!!
I'm going to be in the bathroom every 2 hours all night long. (It should also help with my 'big potty' issue I've been having; um rather not having a 'big potty'.....)
I also was good with my food. I had 1.5 boiled eggs and a slice of toast for breakfast, a packet of grits for a snack, 1/3c peach slices in lite juice and 1/2 c fat free cottage cheese for lunch. I had about 1/2c mixed nuts for an afternoon snack though. Dinner was a salad w/ low cal french dressing, 3 roma tomatoes, a piece of lasagna and 3
pieces of garlic bread. (Homemade from sliced white bread and chopped garlic spread.)
I did 40 mins on the tread mill today too!! I have to make up for lost time though since I didn't do any on Fri, Sat or Sun and didn't keep track of the walking I did while shopping. If I do 20 more mins, I'm caught up to where I need to be to meet my minimium for the month.
harleygirl Great job with the DC. Givign up soda can be tough. I read a study a while back that showed people who drank diet soda gained more weight than people who had regular. I personally think it's due to the artificial sweetner.
Kat{{{{HUGS}}}} I'm sorry your going through such an emotional time. I get really attached to my houses too. We lived in a house for about a yr and a half and couldn't afford to stay there any more and I still feel protective of it. It's spent a lot of time vacant since we moved out and it seems that no one can live there for more than a yr. It's sad since it's such a neat house.
I know I'm not getting personals to everyone, but I do really hope y'all are hanging in here and taking care of yourself. That's what this is all about, taking care of ourelves so we can life full lives, love ourselves and keep up with our babes.
Welcome to the newbies~ I've only been here about a week and it's been great. I get to shout about my accomplishments and be propped up when I'm having a weak moment. I'm not afraid to say I didn't do so well because there's no platitudes or ccrappy advice. We've all been there and know how hard it is to grab onto the wagon and stay on. Why do we call it a wagon anyway, it's more like a bucking bronco or a steer.... hang on for dear life and hope you don't get trampled if you fall off.... LOL
Oh, I had a staff Christmas party on Sat, I was good, mostly veggies on my plate. I sent DH for a dessert though as i wasn't sure if I could trust myself and he brought me a whole piece of cheesecake
I asked for a very small one.... I did have raspberries on the side (no syrup) so it wasn't a total loss.
I know I'm going to have a good week; gain, plateau or loss, I'm paying attention to what I'm eating and I'm taking care of my body so I know I'm doing ++ things for myself.
I!!! phhhht
-giving up pop is sooo hard to do
.... I told my kids the singers just like candy a lot) ... .no one can be blah after a good air drum solo 
week one of this thread I was being really good about the pushups but they have fallen to the wayside... back on the batwing free wagon I go!
and call for backup. We're with you all the way!
on the batwings and the junk food justification and 
to those of you who are blah and sad...especially you, Kat. Why do 3-year olds have a magnetic attraction to heavy swinging things? And so sorry about the house. Things can only get better.
