I can do this...Karyn's journal to lose 20!

[J4Dis]

So, is a pineapple and cream cheese sandwich good? I guess it must be cause you keep eating them! I've never heard of it.

Congrats on the 5 lbs!!!

 

[karynnix]

I did it again. I said that I wouldn't get on the scale this morning...and I did. I didn't do too much damage with the pretzels. I was up .4 pounds this morning. I got rid of the rest of the pretzels. Don't need that temptation. I haven't had a chance to eat this morning, but I'm thinking cereal. I have a meeting with Jack's principal this afternoon, so that will cut out my afternoon snacking. SCHOOL STARTS MONDAY!!! EVERYBODY DANCE!!

 

[Cruise04]

School starts Monday for my dd as well but it's hard to dance - the carpool situation is gonna be the death of me!!! But I'll dance for you because I know how you are looking forward to it!!!!



Keep on
Chris

Ah yes, the school starting days. My kiddos are married adults now, but it seems just like yesterday.

Good for you getting rid of the temptation. Its hard enough without those dastardly temptations. Give yourself a hand!!

Thanks for you kind words this morning. I needed it! (((hugs)))

School year is WAY busier for me with sports, activities, etc. I really have a tough time scheduling enough workout time! But it will be the opposite for you Karyn, so take advantage of your few free hours and hit the Y! BTW I love yogurt pretzels. And they aren't as bad a chocolate-covered ones, right?!? Hang in there, you are still doing great.

Hi Karyn,

I don't have children, but I will dance with you anyways!

Good job on getting rid of the temptation......

Hope you are having a great day!

Keep up the good work

What a long day!! Is is over yet?? Not even close...

I met with Jack's principal about what they are going to do with him this year, and I was very impressed. Iowa schools are great!! He will start occupational therapy and speech therapy when school begins. I know that it will help him, and I am so excited!! DH will be home tomorrow, and I get the day off on Saturday. I don't even know what all I am going to do with myself!!

Breakfast this morning wasn't until 10:30, so I decided to go ahead and eat lunch! I had 2 chicken medallions (4 pts) and some Rice-a-Roni (5 pts). I wanted spinich and mashed potatoes, but the spinich didn't smell fresh, so I threw it out and settled for rice.

Snack-100 Calorie Oreo crisps (2 pts)

Dinner-I really, REALLY wanted to order pizza, but I talked myself out of it. I ended up "treating" myself to toast. I try not to eat it very often, because I love it so much!! I didn't skimp on the jelly, so I'll count 10 pts for it.

Total-21 pts...probably lower than that, because I really don't think I used 4 pts worth of jelly!!

 

[lovinaz]

That is great news about your DS!!! I bet he will do great in school this year.

And good for you talking yourself out of pizza! Doesn't it feel great? You still had a treat but it was MUCH better for you than pizza (plus no tempting leftovers to deal with!)

Spend some "you" time when your DH gets back. Do (or don't do) whatever YOU want! Spoil yourself for doing such a great job lately!!

 

[need_a_Disney_fix]

Karyn, Iowa schools are great! Is it toasty on your side of the state today? Man oh man, its 93 with a RF of 101. ACK! I want to thank you again for the support you are giving me!

It's in the high 90's here, too. I was expecting COLD when we moved to Iowa!! At least the summer isn't 10 months long like it is in SC. You are only guaranteed cold weather for January and February there.

 

[karynnix]

I haven't had breakfast yet, but I can tell that TOM is looming in the horizon. I gained 1.4 pounds OVERNIGHT!! What we women go through...men should be soooo much nicer to us!!

Absolutely NO plans for today. DH gets home tonight, so I feel sure that Jack will be hovering around the front door all day. I wouldn't be able to get him in the car today if I tried!! Oh well...it will keep him occupied!!

I haven't made plans on what I am going to eat today. I will keep it light, because tomorrow I will be eating CHINESE!! I don't get to eat Chinese food very often, so this is a HUGE treat for me. Yes, I will probably go overboard, but I soooo deserve it!!

 

[lajones81]

Dancin' ya! Dancin' ya!

 

[J4Dis]

I agree you deserve it! I think it's OK to splurge once in a while and you're planning ahead so you can accommodate the Chinese food - enjoy!

Glad your husband is coming home. Hope that makes things a bit easier for you.

 

[crusin'minnie]

Enjoy your "you" day tomorrow. You certainly do deserve it!! Tell DH we missed him while he was away.

Hope you have a great weekend.

And may your fortune cookie read:

Confusious say- mother of 2 work hard- chinese food no cost points for her.

 

[lovinaz]

Yes, you DO deserve that Chinese food! Eat it and DON'T FEEL GUILTY! I bet you will be surprised at how full you get and you probably won't do as bad as you think! Sorry about the TOM, I am in the same boat right now... Don't worry, it's water weight and will go away on its own!

 

[karynnix]

I don't have a whole lot of time to write, but I want to get down what I ate today. Will catch up on reading journals tomorrow night!!

Breakfast-Meatball and motz Lean Pocket (6 pts)

Lunch-LC potatoes and broccoli with cheese (5 pts)...didn't finish eating it

Snack-100 Calorie Oreos (2 pts)

Dinner-cereal and milk...didn't measure (6 pts)

TOTAL...19 pts...may be a little more than that, but not much

 

[goldcupmom]

Hope you have a GREAT weekend! One thing about Iowa (I grew up there) is that it is totally unpredictable weather! But, they have GREAT CORN!!! Enjoy some for me!!

 

[need_a_Disney_fix]

Karyn, just wanted to let you know Dh and I will be coming your direction tomorrow...Iowa State Fair. I will wave your direction.

 

[karynnix]

Hey Laurie!! Have fun!!

Well, my "ME" day is over. Yes, it is noon, and it's already over. I came home for a break, and DH decided to go out and cut the grass. That will take him about an hour, and by then I probably won't want to go back out! I had a good morning, and I tried not to overeat, but I think I did.

Breakfast-didn't eat, morning started out crazy, and I didn't get a chance

Lunch-went to Long John Silver's and got a fish and chicken combo plate. I ate 2 pieces of chicken and 1 piece of fish, 2 hushpuppies, about 10 fries and the cole slaw. It was so nice...I got it to go and ate it at the park by the lake. SOOOOOO QUIET!! I also treated myself to a Kit Kat. I haven't had one of those in so long! I had forgotten how good it tasted! Now I am really full and I hate feeling this full. Dinner may be a bowl of cereal. Something light.

I want to try to get to journals tonight. If not, SCHOOL STARTS MONDAY!!! and I will get to them then.

 

[daisy_77]

H, Karyn!! Sounds like you had an enjoyable time eating lunch! I love eating outside! I hope that you have a great weekend and congrats on school starting on Monday!! (Just teasing!! )
