[DoeWDW]

Meme, I'm just here to drop off a and some extra !

So, what do you want to be when you grow up?? I'm still asking myself that question and I'm 40 now..... . Any ideas where life will take you or are you just recharging your batteries for the journey?

Glad to hear you're staying on plan!

 

[Castillo Mom]

Hi Meme, sorry to hear about your job. You seem to be taking things in stride though. Maybe this is a chance for you to take a breather and spend some extra time with your son.

You're doing well with staying on plan, keep it up. Do you still weigh in on Monday? If so, I'll meet you at the scale day after tomorrow. Good night!

Well today is my son's 3rd birthday and I already shared a milkshake and a sundae (wow what a lunch ) Plan is to have cake after dinner boy I'm glad I did watp this am.

Thanks for checking in girls, you make life much happier

My plans now after 1 week of confusion are to stay home and be a mom and a wife, the new term is a domestic goddess
I registered with unemployment today and will sign over my rights so I can get a severance package. I can afford to sit back and enjoy for a while however my husband wants my assistance with his business - we are still in negotiations So my future will hopefully include another child(now I have time for sex) and a new business relationship with my dh. I still feel strange, many mixed emotions. But I know time is on my side and everything happens for a reason.

I promise to be back on the plan soon and there will not be any excuse about exercise!

 

[DoeWDW]

MeMe, I LOVE your current plan! Being a wife and mom is such an important job and helping your DH with his business may make things better for all of you.

You're right - time is on your side! Take your time and see what life brings. I wish you many days of and smiles!

Hi Meme! Hey, thanks for stopping by my journal. I wanted to anwswer your question about the diet orange cream soda. It's called Stewart's and it's only sold in bottles. Don't know what grocery stores you have in your neck of the woods and I actually don't even know where they sell them near my home either since I get them at work. They're really good though, and they have other flavors. You'd almost swear they're not diet.

You're doing very well staying on plan Meme. In answer to your scale question, no I don't see any relief in sight with the obsession. It's like I just have to know! Oh well, I guess there are worse things to be addicted to. Have a good evening!

 

[marsh0013]

hey meme, i'm so glad that you have come to a decision about where you are right now in your life, and that you are content with it. being a mommy is a very important job! oh excuse me, i see that "domestic goddess" is the correct term for what you are . the food and exercise will fall into place for you as well. have a great day

Hi, MeMe. Just stopping by to wish you a good week. I hope that
you're able to get out with Parker and enjoy the sunshine. It really feels like we're into Spring, doesn't it?

Keep walking down that healthy living road, girlfriend--
Erin

Hi MeMe!

It's March 1st and it's warm & sunny today! YAY! I hope you and your little one enjoy a stroll outside sometime today - even if it's a short one!

Oh, and TOM & chocolate go together, don't they?? I don't think you can have one without the other!

 

[Auntmeme]

Monday was on target and yes girls I did go for a walk with my boy. What wonderful weather

Today is on target no exercise yet but it's only 3. Being unemployed leaves lots of time yet I still don't know why everything on my list isn't crossed off yet

And I love stewarts though I haven't found the diet orange cream, I'll need to search all my stores now.

I'm following Doe with a list of March goals and will look to al of you for inspiration.

1. Stay between 25-30 carbs each day
2. Cardio exercise 5 days per week
3. Stretch & abs 6 days per week
4. Max. 3 cups coffee per day
5. Water water water
6. Vitamins each day

Need to go take my vits and exercise

Thanks all for stopping by

 

[DoeWDW]

MeMe, your post yesterday sounded so bright and sunny! Amanda started the monthly goal craze and it has really caught on with many of us around here. I hope you find it helpful to you!

Sometimes I think being home all day makes it HARDER to get things done. I see that whole day stretched out in front of me and then before I know it, it's gone! I'm sure you'll get into a routine that will make it easier for you.

How did you do with your March goals yesterday?

 

[lulu201]

Hi, MeMe. Just stopping by to say hi. How are things going? Are you adjusting to your new life style? I have to admit, that if I were thrust into a new situation like you, it would take me a while to carve out a routine and schedule. What will you and Parker do today in all this rain? I'm sure, whatever it is, you'll be smiling together.

Take care and be good to yourself,
Erin

 

[Auntmeme]

Can't believe it has been 3 weeks since I lasted posted. How did I let that happen. I have not been faithful to my goals and have yet to get back on a scale. Too afraid

I've still not adjusted to my new unemployed status. I need to nail down a concrete schedule but each day I wake up and I don't have really anything that I have to do, it is an odd feeling. Well I do take care of my son and have realized how much I was truely missing being at work.

I am doing the WATP a couple of times per week but need to increase that if these thighs are going to be exposed Went to the park today and we walked a bit, every little thing counts.

Being home with cookies, icecream, candy has been all too tempting. So I have not made it through one week without cheating. I keep telling myself to stop but I don't listen very well, ahh I'm turning into my dh. Help!

Well if I could make myself stay true to this journal I know I would be losing the weight and fitting into those skinny jeans. And now with the swimsuit season upon us, yikes I better get moving.

Thanks for checking in Doreen & Erin, I hope to see you soon for one of those walks

Hi MeMe!

You asked on my journal what is different about SB and Atkins. Well, for ME I must have been eating foods way too high in calories doing Atkins. I think the cheese and full fat dressings especially were getting out of control for me. I didn't overdo it by Atkins standards but it must have been too many calories for my sedetary life. I am still on phase one of SB which is basically Atkins. You don't count carbs BUT you only eat foods on the acceptable list which are low carb foods. The other exception is eating lower fat meats only. Like lean cuts of beef, chicken breast, and fish, etc. SB allows LF or FF milk in this phase. But only lite dressings or Olive Oil and Vinegar. And LF cheese is also acceptable. I've also switched from butter to the I can't believe it's not butter spray. A couple pages back on my Journal I have listed all of the acceptable foods for Phase One.

I've also started to Journal EVERYTHING in to Fitday. It has been quite an eye opener. I'm finding myself right now averaging around 1,000 calories a day. It seems to be working for me. I've had excellent results for my first 10 days on the program!

If you have any more questions PLEASE just ask!

 

[Desiree]

Hi Meme! I just wanted to stop by and say and wish you the best today. Today is a new day! Journalling I find, helps me stay on track of everything. I know exactly what is going into my system, and what I need to do to change things around. Best of luck to you to getting into those skinny jeans! I hope to be joining you one of these days!

 

[Auntmeme]
