I ROCK! My laundry room looks like Martha Stewart herself came and cleaned and organized it! I have a plastic container for lightbulbs, batteries, first aid, haircutting supplies, kids' art supplies, shoe shine/ shoe laces, hats/gloves/scarves, etc.

THAT is what makes me happier than a pig in a candy store...or a kid in slop!

I feel accomplished! (the "accomplished" smilie)

Sorry, I know that has NOTHING to do with dieting and yet it does! Yesterday when I felt like EATING out of boredom, I took everything out of the laundry room and totally focused on it...instead of eating!

Today's task, the PANTRY!
I recieved my Jan. issue of Martha Stewart Magazine which is on organization. ...I also love the magazine called "Real Simple".

In leu of excercise, I'll get down on my hands and knees and scrub the kitchen floor, it needs it with 4-8 kids here at any given time, and two muddy pawed Golden Retrievers trapsing in and out!

I am also very mindful of every single thing I eat! I have to be!!!!!!

Carrot cake isn't bad as long as you ONLY eat the carrot part ~! Dont even HAVE on hand ANY thing that could tempt you (Dr. Phil...the environmet for success!) I'm at a weak point that I cant set myself up!

 

[monymony3471]

Utahmama: You are doing great. Weaknesses smeaknesses. You are keeping yourself busy and making great choices. I agree your caroling project was rockin! You have so many things in your life to feel good about. Focus on those.

PrincessV: 20 minutes is better than 0. You gave your body 20 minutes of moving and burning, heart pumping and circulation that it craves. Way to go.

honeymo: keep your water glass in site at all times as a reminder. It's so important to wash the bad out!

There's only 2 ways to get the bad out, elimination and exercising. What's it gonna be?

Hi everyone!! Just thinking about you today!!!!

 

[jeriber]

Just wanted to share what happened yesterday-I got on the scale in the morning before starting my day and WHAT-168 lbs-now that's not even close to my normal weight and probably much more than my size 5ish frame (it's in there somewhere waiting to get out) should be subjected too. So I get on again before going to bed and it says 101-YAw Hoo-67 lbs lost in one day. I'll keep the scale as long as it says 101 . Now if only my clothes were saying 101

What a laugh I got out of that!

 

[Poohbear77]

Just wanted to check in to say that I am still here with ya It's been kind of a rough week. The kids and my husband have all been sick with a lovely tummy virus. This is the second one to go around our house this winter so far!

Anyways, I haven't had much time to get on the computer to check what has been going on. I miss you guys, and hope everyone is sticking to their plans. I am still eating less, but have not been exercising at all

I will weigh in this Friday and let you all know!!!

You are all in my prayers. Stick with it!!!!

Hey, can I borrow your scale?

 

[mousehouselover]

I'm here and I'm dong so much better than I was last night. AF finally showed up, as we were prepping a patient for surgery..... good thing it wasn't my case. Thanks for all the and and y'all sent my way.

I can't stay long, DH still feels awful and I had to take him to the dr's. His back is such a mess and it's aggrivating his other problems. I have to take care of the kiddos and critters tonight. Dinner is going to be a Mom's Special... I do dream Dinners and there was one in the fridge thankfully so I only have to come up with sides and those are going to be healthy! Especially since I didn't cheat at all today. DH doesn't do the healthy thing so well and since he generally does most of the cooking, well you can see why I have problems with my weight.

I've got to run, I need to get some broccolli...

 

[UtahMama]

MHL- I dont think we have Dream Dinners here but we have "My Girlfriends Kitchen" which is the same idea. I'll have to get the Sponge to go with me one of these days. A freezer full of convenience is worth it to me!

Bee- LOVE your new tag! Great advertisement!

Jeriber- I want a Magic Scale! Mine lies to me and gets in my head too much! I call it the "Lying Beach" sometimes!


I want a new fancy refrigerator! It's by JennAir and the top is french doors and the bottom is the freezer and it's a drawer. I have a huge freezer in the garage so I dont need the freezer space. I guess my kids' case of "the Gimmies" was contageous. I also want a vacuum that sucks- pun intended! I have a dirt Devil that clogs fast. I keep buying these cheapo vacuums and that's what I get, I guess! Gimmee!!!! Gimmee!!!!

Hey, can I borrow your scale?

Idont know about fridgies but the Dyson Vac is the BOMB!!! I have 3 four legged children (some people call them dogs) and my carpet stays pretty hairy...when I vacuum I can feel the difference in my carpet...it is worth the cost

 

[harleygirl]

Just checking in after reading forever cause I missed a day - started on South Beach today , cause I really struggle with sugar cravings, and I figured it'd help me dump that ...so far so good...on my way to church Christmas gathering with "snacks" so hopefully I can find something that I can handle...check in later peeps!

 

[mousehouselover]

I'm baaaacccckkkkk!

I did fantatic with my dinner and I'm full! I minght have some popcorn later but I had plenty to eat and it was all good for me!

B- peach flavored oatmeal
S- a few grape tomatoes, maybe 1/3c and 1 liter of water
L- 1/2 ham sandwich (1 slice ham on 1 slice of bread, minimal mayo) annd 20 oz water
D- salad with mushrooms and tomatoe, small piece of chicken with crushed tomatoes and artichoke hearts, 1c pasta with hearty veggie sauce and steamed broccoli.

I'm at 3 liters for the day and should be able to finish the last one before bed. I haven't hit the TM yet, that's next on my list. The kid offered me a piece of cake tonight and I turned them down!

UM~ I have a french door fridge from Amana. I love it. It's huge, everything's at eye level and I can store a gallon of milk in the door so we only open one side when we need drinks. We also have a Dyson, the purple one, and love it. The kids fight over who gets to use it. I love my dinners. DH thinks it's a scam and we got into a couple of big fights over them ths month. I look at it as a way to cut down on cooking time and give us dinner options that we normally don't have plus, it's cheaper than going out.

harleygirl~ Good luck with the new eating plan. I have carb and sugar cravings too. It's hard to deny yourself something you want so badly.

Spongie~ It's great you're excited about exercising. Isn't it such a shame that we think so poorly of ourselves sometimes that our children pick up on it and start projecting our self-image onto themselves? I wish we could be happy with a healthy body and not beat ourselves up over our flaws.

Poohbear~ I hope everyone starts feeling better soon.

Pixie~ How did the contest turn out? I haven't been over there to look yet.

jeriber~ You're on to something with that scale. What a boost to see such a pretty number.

Princess~ Thanks for the encouragement. I had to put away all my jeans and bought new pants this year. I have an updated, cute new look but when those pants are getting tight.... I just can't stand the idea of anything bigger than an 18.

Oh, BTW, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror this afternoon and I have BACK FAT!!!!! It's ugly.... I was ready to cry when I saw it. That's my new motivation; get rid of the back fat. I refuse to have bbs on both sides!

I've been drinking while I was typing and I'm halfway done with my 4th liter for the day!! Go me!

 

[TwinkieMama]

Hi all!

Thanks to everyone to getting us back on track.... for the record I did NOT make the carrot cake.... cause then I would have eaten it most of it. I was thinking today about how we (ok, just me but maybe someone out there will KWIM) use food as a reward or because we "deserve it" or we think it will make us happy when in reality we eat junk because we don't think ENOUGH of ourselves to make healthy choices

Life is short. I want to go through it feeling fit and fabulous and happy to be me.


Thanks Peeps for helping me.

 

[harleygirl]

MH lover - you're gonna tinkle all night!!! 4 Liters! holy cow batman! you rock!!! and I thought I was doing good at 4 20oz bottles...sheesh

okay my checking on the day...REALLY good til I got home and made the "snack" tray for church of the homemade oatmeal raisen (yes they should be considered diet food esp if made with Splenda) - although mine were not- cookies that I made over the weekend ...AND I made the plate ful and didn't nibble BUT I dropped the &*^% thing getting into the car and had a moment where I cought most of them but 2-3 fell out and I caught them and next thing I knkow I was swallowing 1/2 of one !!!!OMG how did that happen??? it just JUMPED into my hand....and that blasted hand just drove it home baby...but i stopped myself and at the church I had a few snackies but nothing outrageous, mostly veggies...

no workout for two days as I had very sore knees yesterday from running and today we moved our offices at work for about 5 hours sraight and walked a good 3-4 miles and did about 40 flights of stairs...yep the hips are burning tonight!!! and my joints are a little tender still from my yoga class and I wonder if maybe I pushed myself a little to hard...

glad to hear everyone is still hanging and posting, no matter what phase we are on it helps to keep in touch and stay motivated...

ps I did have 1 Diet Coke, but no more than that...its acceptable...

 

[Bee]

Thanks for the compliments on my tag!

I have been busy shopping today... I went to several stores.. I even asked for management and asked them if they carried that MAGIC scale that makes you lose like 60 lbs a day.... The last one thought I was NUTS and threatened to have the guys in little white coats come to get me. I told them they would have to carry me out kicking and screaming. So, I heard them on the phone telling them that they better bring reinforcements. I then said... " If you had that Magic scale you wouldnt need so many people. to carry me out!!!

Anyway, love all y'all mean it!!
