Gail's Journal (comments welcome)

Hi Gail!

Thank you for your words of encouragement in my journal! I really appreciate your support! :grouphug:

Today is a holiday. Enjoy your treats! Tomorrow is a new day and a new chance to get back OP! You have done such a fabulous job so far Gail and I just know that you will get back OP! You can do it! :cheer2:

Have a great evening! :wave:
 
Gail,
Your Curves results are fantastic!!!! Don't beat yourself up over Valentine's Day :love: As long as you are careful the following days a little splurge shouldn't derail you :)

Enjoy your dinner :flower:

Don't feel too bad, Gail! Holidays are the hardest days to stay OP. I am sure tomorrow will be better for you. I am sooo jealous that you got to eat at Olive Garden. I just finished posting in my journal about our experience trying to eat at the Olive Garden that just opened up by us. It was not a good experience and we didn't get to eat there afterall. I am hoping we get to eat there for my b-day in 2 weeks!
 

Thanks for all the support and encouragement! But I know I've done bad. I had a great day yesterday...until a binge occured at 9 p.m!!! It was awful. What's worse is that this morning I feel sick! I'm light headed and feel like I want to throw up! Not sure if I'm really getting sick or the influx of sugar!!! Of course I can't go exercise because I don't want to pass out...my husband told me to drink some water...well, I don't even want to put anything in my mouth. I know I have to drink the water...but I will wait until I run the kids to school. Then I'm going to lay down and get some sleep. I'll see how I feel later. Sorry for the bum post...the feel sorry for myself post :sad2: I'll post later to let you know about my stresses the last few days.
 
Hi Gail!

I've had a few "junk food" binges myself the past few days. I've also woken up not feeling well and had the feelings last throughout the day. I'm not sure if I have a "bug" (my DDs just got over being sick) or if I have the "carby yuckies". In any event, I pray that you start feeling better soon. Sending :sunny: :wizard: and gentle :grouphug: your way. Take good care of you!
 
Thanks so much Tracy! You always have something kind to say :goodvibes

After taking the kids to school...I came home and slept from 8:30 to 11...got up..felt a little better...ate a bowl of RaisinBran, then decided I was going to Curves. Didn't feel great..but I went. Kids got out early today, so went to pick up oldest DS and ran him around, then picked up my other two children, ran to the grocery store for a few things..made a salad at the salad bar and just finished eating it! Actually starting to feel more normal. :rotfl:

This next part is about my stresses...I'll try to be brief, but who knows.

1. Of course, looking for a lot to build this house is making me crazy!

2. This is the winded part...last week I'm online and see an ad for flowers and I decided to order flowers for my mom for V.D. Then 2 days later I decide to order flowers for grandma too. I end up having to pay $5 extra since it was Friday by this time. Okay...V.D.comes and Grandma gets her flowers around 10 a.m. Had mom's delivered to work...so when I track them around 3:30, says they are out for delivery..okay...but mom gets off work at 4..so I call the flower people...get a nice guy who contacts the flower delivery to let them know to deliver them at home. I tell him that grandma got her flowers at 10 and it's the same zip code etc. He's having a time w/ the company because it is V.D. I understand completely. So he tells me to call back at 7 if they are not delivered because they will probably be the next day if so. Of course I am upset because I could have had them delivered the sat. before for a lesser cost. Anyway...he seems very understanding. And I now have to tell mom I sent her flowers...ruin the surprise...but this is when I find out that grandma called her at work to tell her about the flowers I sent to her. Call back at 7 and get a guy who sounds like he's reading a script...I told him I understand that they won't delivered until the next day...he assures me that they will be delivered no matter what time on V.D. I had serious doubts. Then he offers me 20% in a gift cert for my troubles! The nerve...I spent from 3:30 to 8 p.m. dealing w/ looking for these flowers! See what happens when I'm being lazy and ordering online!

Okay...next day...still NO flowers...I'm getting upset...call the company again..on the phone another 30 minutes and get a nice girl who is having them redelivered talked to florist and they would be right out! Called mom to tell her...as of 6 p.m. NO flowers!! So, I call back again...get a man who reads all the notes on the order and can't believe what I'm going through...tells me I'm being a very good sport about it, etc. He says he's going to take care of me, that it should not have gone this far. He cancels the first order, places a new order w/ a new florist, gives me my money back, gives me a $30 gift certificate and sends flowers to my mom for free. Then he calls my mom to tell her about it all and apologizes to her. I thought that was awesome of him to do. But it was still a stressor for me! I did spend a lot of time on terminal hold and trying to get through...talked to 4 different people...but it was handled. I told them that the only reason I would use their business again is because my grandma loved her flowers and I understood it was V.D.

Whew...sorry that was so long! But it's out there...and it was so simple...but still a stressor!

Have a great day!

Oops...I forgot to add...mom got the flowers at work at 11 this morning and said they were beautiful!

When will this madness ever stop!!! I had such a good day yesterday..eating wise...then we had bowling..and DH and I decided at 10 last night to eat chinese food!!! That is so horrible! So, I am re-re-re-dedicating myself...but this time I am going to give myself until April 1st to stay on-plan..then I will go off for that weekend. Good thing is that I've still been exercising. I stuck a turkey breast in the oven early today...we'll just heat it up at dinnertime! So, dinner is taken care of. I shouldn't have a problem today. Went to curves and then a 55 minute walk! It was great.

So, let the focus begin...again. :blush:
 
Hi Gail :flower:

Don't beat yourself up over the late night chinese food. Your right back here posting and moving forward-- that's what counts! Keeping up with the exercise even if the food is off is key to quickly getting back on track. Good job!!!!

I'm so sorry to hear of your flower fiasco. At least your Mom finally got them and they were beautiful!!!!

Sunny
 
Keep looking forward!!!! You can and will do this! Set a time for yourself, that you will not eat after... and then stick to it... I know that when I feel like eating something and look at the clock and it was past 7:30 it stops me dead in my tracks..... Don't know why... Just does!

Happy Friday! :cool1:
 
I think not eating after a certain time is great advice as well. Do you mind if I take it too as I have fallen off the wagon regarding this! :confused3 Why, I don't know.....


Hope you have a nice weekend. :flower:
 
Well..for having such an awful eating week...I lost 1 lb!!! I am excited. I had myself set that as long as I didn't gain more than 1 I would be okay...but this is much better. We did go out for dinner again tonight for seafood...but I skipped the AUCE crablegs and shrimp...and stuck to the lightfare menu of a small crabcake..half a baked potato w/ sourcream..a few hush puppies...a salad...and some beer... :confused3 But that was my day...for breakfast..half a cup of fiber one cerealw/ skim milk and then a bran bar midday.

Have a good weekend...can't believe Feb is almost over. I have to get a move on trying to lose weight. I'm not really as concerned w/ the number since my clothes are fitting much better...but I still need to get smaller in the clothes...would still love that 180 by June 18th! 33 lbs in 4 months! I don't know...well...I guess that is about 2 a week...but w/ curves..I'm slowing up..and of course this last week...but it can be done!! Maybe next week I can claim that 15 lb clippee...not sure because TOM will be visiting...but I sure will try! I've rambled enough..I'm gonna go see how everyone else is doing :3dglasses
 
YAY for your loss!!! :cheer2: I completely understand about clothes fitting better! That is a great feeling isn't it?! :cool1:
 
Hey Gail - Congratulations on the 1 pound loss!!!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana: Isn't it great when you think that you've blown it for the week, you still lose weight! I love weeks like that :teeth: Keep it up and I'm sure you'll be at your goal of 180 by June with no problems. Can't wait to see your new clippie :sunny:
 
Thanks! You are all so wonderful! Today has been rather uneventful...I've been Disney trip planning all day...A group of 13 going for a week. With these MYW tickets...I'm going crazy trying to decide which to get.

Anyway...I posted a question on the WISH board about Curves..wondering if anyone thinks I should be doing more than Curves and walking. Jen..I know you've been going to Curves a while...I'm just trying to get some feedback. I'm sticking with Curves...but I just wasn't sure if I should add more.

I did get on my Gazelle today for 30 minutes. Food has been good! Water good. Here's to another week of WISHing! It will be a full 8 weeks at the end of this week! Hoping I get that clippee this weekend!
 
I know today is not an "official" weigh in day...but I've lost another pound and I claimed my 15 lb clippee!! I needed to do that for me...it's helping keep me focused and I know that since TOM will be here by Saturday...I don't want to see a gain...I just wanted that clippee so bad...it was a personal goal! And to me...as long as that scale says it...it's "official" enough for me!!

Kids are out of school. Went to Curves this morning...then grocery shopping to get me some more healthy foods!
