Good sunday afternoon everyone!!
I'm here to come clean and start fresh right now. Started my friday night eating a box of girl scout cookies, 1 sleeve of thin mints and 1 sleeve of shortbreads. 1240 calories total, actually I thought that would have been worse. I did track them, and started saturday off on the right foot, but ended up devouring more cookies after a healthy dinner and several glasses of wine with my sil and brother. Today we had a family mass for my uncle and wen to my other brothers for lunch after ward, where I didn't track, but did make some good choices, chile, 2 small meatballs 2 slices kielbasa, but then I had a brownie and 4 choc chip cookies. So eating was bad overall, but there were some good choices. I did get my walks in both days, and drank plenty of water. Healthy dinner last night. Fruit with breakfast. No alcohol today. Home now, and I made the chili, so I have a couple extra servings for lunches this week as well as extra fruit. I said no to chips and dip, cake and ice cream, and cupcakes. I plan to have fruit and yogurt for dinner, and will track starting now, and keep it up. I I am not going to wait til tomorrow I am starting right now. And I had lots of fun and laughs with the family, so it was a good weekend.
Fun with family is always important. And you did so many things RIGHT and said no to much of the junk. Today is a new day!
Don't you just hate when that happens. I loved your reply on the princess thread, Roz.
Just lucky you happened to be lurking there yesterday. I never got on here yesterday, the day just went by too quickly. We graduated from puppy class, and then went to the middle school play of Fiddler on the roof.
Busy.... but sounds like fun. I love the music from Fiddler.
I was thinking of
Dona and was it you also who was always involved in making the costumes for the school plays? We really enjoyed the play, and it was good for ds to see what a great opportunity he will have as he gets older. He said he could see himself as the milkman, the star of the show. Cute.
Yup....that's our Dona, doing costumes. I think you forget when you watch a good production just how much work goes into it behind the scenes. I hope the folks in Dona's town realize how lucky they are to have her!!
Hope dd had a good weekend swimming. I can imagine she needs the extra rest on these busy weekends, so it's nice you can be flexible, and take a day off from church now and again. Hope today was a good day for you both!!
She swam GREAT on Saturday, not as great on Sunday, but still okay. But she felt like she had given her ALL on Saturday and didn't have much left to give on Sunday, despite eating healthy and sleeping a full night. Y State meet at our home pool this coming Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Maybe the home pool advantage will get her some new best times.
My eating was MUCH IMPROVED yesterday! Ended the day one point UNDER my daily range, no fast-food, no random junk, and no eating after 9pm (although dinner ended about 8:50, since we got home so late). But also no "real" exercise, other than walking to/from the car, carrying laundry around the house (up and down the stairs), and such.
We all have these days, but today is a new day, and I'm sure you have picked yourself up and moved on in the inspiring fashion we all expect from you, Pamela. Thank for sharing your meal planning, I'll try to check it out later.
I use olive oil to cook with, and even when I bake, and I buy the 100 calorie packs of guacamole and have those many mornings with eggs for breakfast.
Well... I hope to be inspiring, which makes it hard to "come clean" when I have a bad day or when I fall into a bucket of movie popcorn. But if I'm not honest here, then that means I am not being honest with myself.... and that starts a slippery slope of bad eating and denial.
Creatively, I like photography, and scrapbooking, and in the fall had started knitting again, but haven't been doing that since we got the dog. I should try that again. Funny I started the knitting to help deter me from evening snacking by keeping my hands busy, but with the dog, I tend to be sitting with her on the couch patting her and I don't usually snack because if we do eat in the living room, she is all over us.
Poko has been such a blessing to you and Michael in so many ways!!
I am doing great not having artificial sweeteners. Just the occassional diet coke, also having breakfast with a good protein source is so helpful for me, and tracking my food.
Since Jan 1st, I think I've tracked all but 5 days.
THat is great!!
Hope you all had a healthy happy weekend!!
I LOVE the drawings, photo-manipulations, and wallpapers that you can find on livejournal. Some of those are breathtaking and wish I had that much talent!
When I started the 1st mile my entire body itched everywhere and it was so distracting and I felt heavy. This always happens when I don't exercise, but I figured it would take more than two days! After about 2 miles, it had went away though. I was sweating so bad I couldn't tell if I was crying. 
I certainly felt like it at times, but I pushed through and ran the last .6 miles straight. 
I read about the half-marathon course today and started to get really scared because it said there was some bad hills. I thought at one point that I might not be able to do it, but then I realized I still have almost 3 months of training left and I have come so far already, I CAN do it! 
Did my ab workout this morning and this afternoon, hope to do some band exercises. 
WHAT?? You are missing out! JK.... I'm not a big cocktail person myself, but I do love the occasional margarita.
). DS has his first (and possibly only) b.ball play-off game tonight. DD SHOULD go to Rainbow Girls, but would rather go to swim practice.... so she needs to decide.
