Meme's skinny jeans journal

[lulu201]

You did it! Uh-huh, uh-huh, you did it! You made it through day one and you're on your way. Go, girl! Those first steps back on the path are often the most difficult, but you've taken them and you're going in the right direction again. That's all that matters.

Have a great Sunday, MeMe.

I'm on to day 3 and glad I'm at work and not home otherwise I'd probably be snacking.

yesterday I made it through and had delicious meals. I found the low carb tortillas and bagels at gnc. I am soooo happy yummy yummy yummy

I registered for the walk next january so I better get a move on it. I'm trading in my stationary bike for a treadmill, hopefully this weekend. Look out Erin here I come

You ladies are the best, time to change my bear. Thanks for the support!

 

[lulu201]

Hey, MeMe, you're looking good with that clippie bear. Did you read about my disastrous weekend? I'm trying hard to turn things around today.

I'm glad you're all signed up. Is your DH going to come down with you to the race or did you say you're going solo? Make sure you're on the WISH list so you can get emails about all the events and special room rates.

Hmmm, you're getting a treadie now, are you? Don't you be thinking that you're going to leave me in the dust, Miss Track Queen. I may be 42, but I'm one serious jock athlete!

Sorry, sometimes I just crack myself up! Serious jock athlete!!!! That's too funny.

OK, this is why I shouldn't have had that extra cup of coffee; I get just a little too wired!

Take care, MeMe--
Erin

MeMe, about the clippie bear. . .we kind of had a big talk about what the bear could mean, and what we seemed to decide is that the Cheat Free Star Challenge--you know where you try to go 100 days--that is for CONSECUTIVE cheat free days. The BEAR clippie, on the other hand is a little more flexible. You might have noticed that Doreen and I both have in our siggie a little line about "#__ of healthy living days in January" or something like that. That enables us to recognize the good days we've had without always having to be perfect. It all started with our Cheat Free January Challenge, which was easier said than done. Even people who were doing fantastic had plans for WDW or other events and knew it wasn't realistic that they'd be "cheat free" in those circumstances, yet they wanted to try to do their best on the days around that vacation. Others of us just wanted to do the best we could for the long haul, so we made up our own little bear rules. If you want it to be consecutive for your own usage, go for it. If not, you can make up your own rules, too!

So there you have it, girlie; the bear laws have been clarified.

Have a good night and good luck on Tuesday!
Erin

Well hello there! You made it through the day and you passed on those evil waffles, yay! I promised I'd check in with you today and here I am. Weigh in was just so so for me today, no loss for last week, but then again, no gain. So you've signed up the the half marathon, great! If I didn't live on the other side of the country I would actually consider it but unfortunately, circumstances don't allow right now. Maybe 2006?

Good night Meme, stay cheat free tomorrow, ok?

 

[Auntmeme]

Thanks for checking in. I made it through the wilderness who sings that song - ah Madonna! Well I agree with you Erin, we try to live a healthy life style which includes eating our favorite foods(many of them not so healthy) in moderation.

I had a great day yesterday though I ate at my desk and ate dinner after 7:30 but I was in bed by 9:30. But this am instead of exercising I had to watch the fashion review which I tivoed last night. I'm not a huge fan of joan or melissa but how I love to see those gowns

Any how today

b-coffeew/cr, 1 egg, 1 sl ch, 1 sl pr, 1 low carb bagel & lc ket. Deliciousssssssss

The drive to work was terrible and we may leave early, but I have a nail appt at lunch time, oh such worries. I started getting my nails done a few months back and it really makes me feel beautiful, like I'm always dressed up. So for a a few bucks a month I'm worth it.

Oh and i received a stunning flower arrangement from dh at work(he's been in the doghouse lately) so life is pretty grand right now

 

[lulu201]

Oh, man, you are SUCH the Bucks County woman, MeMe--manicures and flowers. . .you are leading the life! (That little green man is my jealous self!!)

Glad you made it to work safely; this afternoon is supposed to be nasty, so be careful. Have a great healthy eating day. . .it feels good to be back on track, doesn't it?

Have a good day,
Erin

 

[Auntmeme]

thanks Erin, too funny we were writing in each other journals at the same time

 

[marsh0013]

hey meme, this is my first time posting to your journal! i haven't had a chance to read through the whole thing, but i just wanted to stop by and say hi

looks like you're doing a great job! keep up the good work, and keep that clippie changing daily

 

[Castillo Mom]

Oooh, flowers, nice! I have to agree, it feels great to get your nails done, such a girlie pleasure. I'm about to fall asleep typing. Will check in tomorrow. Night!

 

[lulu201]

Just wanted to pop in, MeMe, and see how you're doing.
I hope you've made it through the week OK and are ready to jump into February!

I'm off to power walk with Doreen ; gotta get myself together.

Talk to you soon,
Erin

 

[Castillo Mom]

Meme, we miss you. I'll check in on you tomorrow, official weigh in day. Hope to hear from you then. Take care!

 

[lulu201]

Hey, MeMe! Hope you had a good weekend and are ready to start a new week. I raise my glass of water to you and offer a toast to your success!

Erin

 

[Auntmeme]

i can't belive how long it has been. believe it or not i have been so busy and just couldn't get here

hope all my friends are doing well, i'll check your journals soon. i feel terrible, i have noooo time and when i do someone needs me again. i should feel happy to be so needed

i have been going along ok, could do better. exercise is still lacking, 1x per week, definitely not enough. menu wise is ok, making 6 out of 7 days on course, though still afraid or apprehensive of that scale. my clothes fit well and i'm glad for that.

going to ac this weekend for a show and want to dressup so i'll really focus this week, today has been great. i do need some recipes, i'll check the board. and someone kick me in the butt to get up early and exercise. did not get the treadmill yet, priority was to find a shore house for a week. this cold weather makes me long for the sound of the ocean and the feel of sand between my toes.

i better shape up for that swimsuit

thanks for checking in

 

[Castillo Mom]

Hey woman, glad to see you're back! We've missed you! I can relate with how difficult it is sometimes to keep up with WISH. I've been in a similar situation the last couple of week, especially as we get closer to vacation.

Good to hear you're still hanging in there. Say, how about we give each other a kick in the butt to get up and get our bodies moving. Ok, me first, kick away!

 

[Auntmeme]

Thanks Lisa, I needed a kick! Unfortunately I got kicked by the system today. Downsized, ugly word if I wanted to be down it would be only in my clothes size! No money so someone had to go. I think it was the boss or me so she picked me

I haven't not had a job forever probably over 20 years. No what???? Well I was in the office at 8:30 and out by 10, unbelievable. The worst part is how they made me feel like I didn't do a good job for over 12 years ofcourse they said it had nothing to do with job performance, it stinks! I was scheduled next week for an annual work performance review 12 years and all I got was a kick in the as- and turn in your keys

I know I'll be fine. When a door closes lots of windows open. So I'll let the cool breeze liven up my life for awhile and then decide where my futures lies. I know something was to happen just not this way. My employees (3) want to meet for lunch tomorrow, yes or no. I think I'll go but stear clear about the company conversation, yes?

Anyway I hit the gym for the first time in months. 2 miles on treadmill and 30 min on bike. Trying to decide if I should concentrate on the distance or the time for walking.

I will be having margaritas tonight- probably more than one

 

[DoeWDW]

MeMe, so sorry to hear your news. As long as someone else is doing the driving, have a margarita for me! What a shock that must have been. I'm not very happy with my job and keep hoping they'd downsize me so I can try something different. Of course I have NO idea what I want to be when I grow up....LOL!

Here's a for you! I hope you got some kind of severance pay to tide you over for a while! You're right, though - when one door closes, another one opens, and often it's BETTER!

 

[lulu201]

Aww, geez, MeMe, what a stinky situation. I'm sorry that you're dealing with this. I do have to say, though, I was impressed with the part about going to the gym. I think I would've gone right to the margaritas myself.

Here's a for you. Better days are ahead, I'm sure.

Oh, and while kicking scales are my specialty, I could branch out into other things. . .or people. . .if you need me to. Just let me know, girlfriend.

Take care,
Erin

 

[Auntmeme]

I appreciate you words

My feelings range from high to medium, not low. I would say that is a great sign of things to come. I'm trying to take it easy and get settled in my life before I make any decisions.

Honestly I've had a couple of squares of dark chocolate with real peanu butter And I had 2 margaritas(BIG) and chips w/salsa. The rest of my menus are on target so I feel good about that.

My dh has been the best. His words and actions keep me strong. I'm focusing on enjoying my soon to be 3 ds. His spirit also makes me strong.

I believe there are plans for me and I'll wait to experience them. And in that time I will stay low carb and exercise until I can wear those skinny jeans with pride

 

[lulu201]

to you, MeMe. What a great attitude you have . Whatever you do, you'll find the situation that is right for you!

I hope you have a good weekend. Do you know what the weather is supposed to be like? Before long we'll all be out walking and biking again. I can't wait! All that exercise will make those skinny jeans happen!

Take care, MeMe,
Erin
