Today is the day!!

Oh man what happened! These last 5 months I feel like I've spun out of control with my eating! Since Halloween I feel like I'm eating anything that sits still. And boy what a sweet tooth I have.

My pants sure are showing the signs as well. I turn 40 this year and have a Disney trip planned in June and I need to get back in control!!!

I threw out the tub of frosting in the fridge but only after I ate the Reese's peanut butter heart from the store (king size do less)

I have swim suits soming in the mail any day now and am dreading trying them on.

anyway I hope to get some support here. Seems to be several groups and contests going on..need to sift through and figure out the difference.

Wish me luck!!!

Good luck! I know how tough it is to get started. Just set goals and stick to them.

I see you've joined the BL challenge - welcome! It really is very motivating. I can say 100% for certain that I would've given up by now (started early Jan.) if not for everyone else's support! It's been a rougher couple months than normal for me, and sometimes my eating habits still stink, but thanks to my fellow Mickeys and Donalds, I am hanging in there, doing what I can, when I can. Still drinking my water and tracking my calories, even when they're off the charts...whereas on my own I would've just said 'screw it' and been back to my multi-soda, crazy sugar intake ways.

Hey there - thanks for the check-in

Well my first week was so awesome and had a 5 pound weight loss

Then life stressors started again Last week 1 kid ws home sick w/ strep and then the 2nd got it so I was stuck home all week w/ sick kids, then AF hit and my will power was down anyway w/ 2 battling gruppy kids so I ate the cookies and the chips and dip that I bought "for them" as a treat while they were home sick. Got stuck meeting someone at a fast food place w/ my kids. I did not order but ended up eating 1 chicken strip and a bunch of fries of my kids plate - another bad mommy habit

But I wrote it all down so that's good I guess. I'm doing so-so w/ the water and trying to drink more tea instead of soda.

The positives were that I did do my treadmill a bunch so I think I'm neutral as of today. I'm hoping to drop 1-2 pounds this week now that life seems back on track (for the moment ). kids are well and back in school so I can get caught up on the house work and errands etc.

I did have a 99.4 temp last night so I went straight to bed. I wanted so desperately to get back to my workouts today. I feel well so far today so my goal is stay on track today and get my workout in tonight.

Got my tea made and meals/snacks planned. Yes this helps so much to come on here and read about others going through the same stuff!

Good luck to you all and everyone else on here.

get moving
