HEY! Y'all!

SO!
I did something odd today! (odder than normal)

I bought a pair of jeans a solid size too small.

That's not the odd part though. I HUNG them in my kitchen

WHUUUT? Because! At night, I have NO self control with the snacks! I usually want toast! I only buy healthy bread...but it's AFTER my day's calories are COMPLETE.

My other solution for that is I have lots of ready-to-eat mini-carrots/snap peas/ hummus, string cheese, low fat Yoplait etc. ready to go. If it's handy, in a moment of weakness, I'm more likely to reach for it.

Back to the jeans...this was "fun" shopping for something I cant yet wear! I'm kind of frugal, so it felt wasteful. Anyway, I grabbed several of the style of cut that flatters me best (trouser jeans) in several sizes. I wanted to find what fits me perfectly now and BUY a size smaller. But!!!! I kept fitting into what I had grabbed for the smaller size

With the help of the size 2, very-pierced and tattoo'd Gap fitting room lady, I finally had my jeans!

And promptly hung them in my kitchen to remind me that if I skip the toast, I can wear those gorgeous jeans!

I think buying the jeans was a great motivating idea. Have you tried to reassess why you are so hungry in the evening? Do you eat a full breakfast...I find that if I eat every 3 or 4 hours I am less likely to be very hungry in the evening. I know speaking for myself if I am eating in the evening it has more to do with boredom than the fact I am truly hungry. I find sometimes just chewing a stick of gum may help subside my cravings

I think I'm just bored. I eat frequently during the day and am never "starving" or deprived feeling. Head hunger? I DO workout in the early evenings because that's the only time of day available. I think after I work out I DO feel hungry and need to save a non-carb/bread snack for that time. I'm loaded with healthy things to reach for JUST IN CASE.

GUM is really a great idea that does work! Busy mouth?

Oooooh! I love Swedish fish (and all gummy candy). The sugar free kind isn't as good.

Totally go to the gym, girlfriend!
The scale will MOVE this week if you do! Which is what I'm telling myself too!

THIS is my week for a pretty number! ((I hope!!!))

Gum works for me especially when I quit smoking 2 years ago, it also helps when I want to mindless eat. Its def not a cure all but a distraction for sure. Orbit gum I find to be the best for flavor that lasts the longest.

the other thing that works for me is literally locking myself in the bedroom when i get the urge to eat at night, i think its called mindless eating you are not truly hungry but its just something to do while you watch tv. I find going on the computer is a good distraction for me, if you are busy typing on the dis you dont have your hands free to put food in my mouth

Thanks UM! We bought a Ford Freestyle, it's now named the Taurus X. I love it!


Ok I was talking to my Hubby yesterday about our 20th anniversary and that we are taking a trip of some sorts and it will be 2 weeks. I have been saving for the last year and we been going back and for where to go. Europe?? or Out East??

Well you have to know that hubby is not a huge Disney fan, he'll go just to please me. ( I blame his parents for not taking him as a child ) I also thought that when we went last August that would be it for Disney trips for a long time. Well he suggested yesterday that we hold off Europe until he retires ( he can retire at 48!) and then we could do 3 weeks and really see what we want to see and not feel rushed. Well he came to me yesterday and said well you know that Matt (our son) will be graduating high school and Allie (our daughter) will be getting confirmed and graduating 8th grade. We could take a family trip, to celebrate. What would you think about going to Disney again? I was speechless! (inside I was doing this ) Could this be true? He wants to go back to Disney???? He wants to go part of the time to Disney, (and check out the other parks out side of Disney ) and spend some time on the coast. This was his idea I made no suggestions on Florida or Disney what so ever!!

He also suggested taking a trip out east with the kids. We have been before and really like it there to. So now we need to decide where to go! I of course am leaning toward Disney but we shall see in time what we want to do. I am so freaking out about this! Now if we could just plan two weeks a Disney how awesome would that be!

Had a great "Peep Meet" with Lynda! We met near Yak & Yeti in AK. She & Josh are such a great couple and my DH & I had a good time. Here is a pic:

LMO, wishing you good weather.

I'm Dis'ing from the exercise bike again. I have to, because I ate terribly on our weekend retreat (like ridiculously bad), and a jar of jalapeno nacho sauce followed me home. I am measuring and counting the calories, but I still know it was not the best choice. It is just so salty good! So here I am, pedaling away. (couldn't find a bike, but the cheese could be causing an "exhaust" problem).

 

[punkin413]

it has been slow here but i'm still here....just lurking away! i'm just super busy with work right now so i don't have time to reply to everyone and i always feel guilty about that. plus i have family drama, but that's a norm for me. i think DH and i are the only normal ones in both our families!

if you're bored, go read my current TR......it's lots of fun!!!!! i just posted an update that includes hockeykat and the adventurer's club. FUN! FUN! FUN, I TELL YOU!!!

 

[dwheatl]

Came back to say, I dumped the rest of the nacho sauce down the garbage disposal. The calories weren't too awful, but 70% of them were fat, and there were 480 mg of sodium in 2 tablespoons. I'm drinking water like crazy to flush it out.

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

Goodness, am I the first one to post here today? Sure looks like it. It certainly has been a lot less chatty here than normal. Although, I shouldn't talk since I've never been one of the big contributors to the conversations. So let's see, what can I talk about?

My wife made one of the only things this weekend where I prefer her version over my mom's - lasagna. It was yummy, almost too yummy. I think I over indulged because I was up slightly this morning from last Friday. Nothing too drastic, and I'm still easily in the 150's; but still disappointing none-the-less.

Tomorrow night our little town is having their 2nd annual "Date Nite" (I think they intentionally spelled night "nite" for dramatic purposes); they'll be offering free carriage rides around town, pictures in the park, the local flower shop will be selling roses in the street, local restaurants will be having dinner specials, other businesses will have things like a chocolate fountain and free sweets. So I think I'll be weighing myself tomorrow morning just in case we decide to take advantage of one of the dinner specials or the yummy free treats tomorrow night. Of course, this will do nothing to get me to my Halloween goal. Speaking of which, here are last week's numbers...

Is anybody watching Biggest Loser this season? I'm pulling for the yellow team, because quite frankly this is a life or death situation for the dad; and I guess I'm a bit of a sucker for that type of story.

Gotta run. Have a great day everybody!
