I can't believe you behaved yourself with CHEESECAKE!!!!! I usually make a LF pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving but I think I am going to skip it this year because I know I can't control myself with the leftovers! Good for you!

I'm glad you talked yourself out of going off the deep end this weekend. If I could do that, I'd be in pretty good shape! Please some of that ability my way...

You are doing great, that scale will be moving again in no time!

 

[frogmommy]

Good for you for sticking with your plan! It will pay off!!!

Making a cheescake and only eating a tiny bit?!? WOW, great job.

Hi All!!!

Sorry I have not been around since Tuesday!!! Things once again have been totally crazy! Not to mention, I am having a tough time with my boss. Which I knew was going to happen, it was only a matter of time. It's really a long story, but my current boss used to be a supervisor over our A/R group and I am the supervisor over the A/P group. When our manager left, she was promoted to manger, and well she has to have her hand in everything. When my old boss was here he let me run my department and it was great. I loved that. Now that she is my boss, she wants me to run my department but she also wants to be involved. I have to have a discussion with my group and she "has" to be there. She wants to reem them. I told her no! So we will see how things go. Sorry for venting about work, I just get so frustrated with her

Anyways, the last few days have been okay. I didn't get out of bed yesterday to work out. I didn't have the energy. TOM is here and I have the worst headache. So I didn't work out at all. I didn't get up today either, but I have told myself that I MUST work out tonight. So I will do it after dinner sometime. My headache is not so bad today!

Eating has been pretty good. I have been craving some of those cookies that I am making DH each night. Last night, I made him 4 cookies and then he ate a huge piece of cheesecake. OMG....I just sat there thinking that one day, I did that!!! Never again!

I really need to go grocery shopping, I don't have any food. I had to wait until payday, today, so I am off to the store tonight after dinner and workout. Probably about 9 or 10. That is the best time to go out! I have been eating ramon soup for the last three days. Not the best, but that is all that I have for lunch. Dinner has been better, we have been BBQ'ing and fixing simple things like eggs! Again, not the best, but it works!

So the scale moved this morning, I am down a pound. It was a great feeling. I feel like I have broken that plateau again and I will start to lose again soon!!!!!

We are going to go for a motorcycle ride this weekend. DH met a guy that moved from Florida to Colorado and he wants to go to Estes Park. So we are going to do that tomorrow. The weather is suppose to be nice, about 75. That will be nice. Hard to believe that it snowed on Monday and now it is in the 70's!!!!

Well I better get back to work. I will post again later with what I eat!!!

Have a great Friday!

 

[lovinaz]

YAY! Congrats on the pound lost!

You are doing really good avoiding the cheesecake and cookies. You are way nicer than I am, I would tell DB "Too bad - if I can't have sweets, neither can you! If you want them, go get them somewhere and eat it all before you come home!"

You are doing awesome, have a blast on your ride!

 

[goldcupmom]

Sounds like a fun weekend, Jamie!
Congrats on the pound GONE!!!

Have fun and ride SAFE!!

Hope things are going well, I am sure you are making excellent food choices no matter what you are doing!

Hi Everyone!!! Thanks for stopping by.
I appreciate all the encouragement!!!!!

We had such a good time this weekend. The weather both days was wonderful. We went for about 159 miles this weekend. On our way home, it was a little windy. There is nothing worse that being on a bike in wind. I never would have thought how much the wind moves you around. Boy oh boy!!!! Had to take Baxter to the vet for his final check with her bum. Everything is all well. We just have to watch him. Since he had an infection, they told me that he could get it again. So we are watching to make sure that he is okay!

So I have been wanting a meeting with my boss about what is going on and she keeps putting me off. Finally we will meet tomorrow morning at Starbucks. Of all places....I hate Starbucks! So we will see how things go. I know that there was some issues while I was out, but she just does not understand that I need to know what happened before I can fix it! Hopefully tomorrow goes well.

Food the last few days has been pretty good. DH is away at school for two weeks and does not get home until 10 or after. So I am on my own for dinner. I have not really cooked anything!!!! I am just winging it. I was going to make some things, but it just has not happened. But it is only Tuesday. I have the rest of this week and next!

Monday
B at 5:30 1/3 cup cereal with 1/3 cup milk
S at 8:30 1 cup of Great Value yogurt
L at 12:00 1 baked potatoe with lf chese
S at 3:00 1 nature valley granola bar
D at 6:00 three slices of bacon, 1 srambled egg

I got in 120 oz of water Monday!!! yippie!!!!

Tuesday:
B at 5:30 1/3 cup cereal with 1/3 cup milk
S at 8:45 1 nature valley granola bar
L at 12:00 HC turkey and mashed potaotes with ceaser salad. YUM!
S skipped
D at 6:00 grilled cheese sandwich

I got in 96 oz of water. I am still working on that though!

I got in tons of exercise this weekend. So that is great news! I need to update my totals for the month.

TOM is gone, so hopefully the scale will move again this week. I weight in onThursday!

Hope everyone is having a great night. Tomorrow looks like it could be another busy one, I have interviews all day it seems, but I will try and get on later.

Thanks again everyone for your kind words. I could not do this without you!

 

[Mykelogan]

Glad you had a good weekend Jamie!! Sending you good vibes for your Starbucks meeting with the boss!!!

[toystoryduo]

Hi Jamie,

Thank you so much for your words of support and encouragement in my journal yesterday. I appreciate you!

I am sending some for your meeting with your boss. I hope everything works out and that you get the answers that you need.

Have a great day!

 

[keenercam]

Hi, Jamie! Hope your meeting went well. I am sure your boss will appreciate that you want to do a good job and are looking for some helpful feedback.

Even with all that stress and DH being at school, you are doing a great job on your food choices and getting in your water. That is great!

Congratulations on being almost done the cheat-free challenge. Can you believe you are in the home stretch? I am sure you are going to see a lot more movement on the scale soon, especially considering how great you are doing on your exercise challenge! Keep up the awesome work!

Have a great day!

 

[lovinaz]

How did your meeting go with your boss? Hopefully it cleared some things up. I bet that scale will move for you this week, you are doing great with your eating! I tend to eat more if there is not someone there to keep me in line...

Keep it up, you're doing great!

 

[eeyore25]

HI All!!! Whew I have been so busy it has not been funny. With DH being in school and such, I don't have to cook so I tend to stay at work a little longer. I would rather do that then bring stuff home!

So I had my meeting and what a bunch on nonense. I think. The things that happened, happened while I was on vacation, why it is just now coming to me is beyond me, but it was stuff that I already new about. I had already talked to m y group. So when she heard that she apologized. We moved desks this week so that made me more behind, which made me more crazy! We have no cubicles in our office. Only high up executives have offices, so the rest of us just have a desk and that is it. So I sit right across someone and right next to someone else with no walls. My manager wanted to have me move and so I did. It takes a miracle to get our IT dept to move us all and do it right. So I was very busy today!

My eating has been okay, not the greatest. I have this sweet tooth that I just can't make go away. I would give anything to have a butterfinger, but I have resisted! I don't know how long I can keep it up though.

I didn't weight in for this week yet. Usually I do it Thursday morning, but I got up late and didn't have time. I got up late again today and didn't have time to do it either. I may try and get it done tomorrow. We will see. I feel like I have lost something. My favorite work pants felt so much bigger today. I can tell that I have lost, because those pants have gotten too big and today they seemed really big.

I have been so thirsty lately, and I have been driniking about 96 oz of water each day,so I don't know what is going on.

I have three days of food to write out and don't want to do it! Today was a good day though. We ordered BBQ for lunch and I did great. I had chicken and potatoe salad and that was it. I know the potatoe salad was not so good, but it was yummy! I didn't over do it either.

Well I am really tired today, so I am going to head off to bed. Thanks to everyone that had posted. Ya'll are great. Not too sure if I will make it on this weekeend, but I will try. If not talk to everyone on Monday!

Have a great night and a wonderful weekend!
