Thanks, I think I will try not weighing myself except for on Mondays and see how that goes. However, this week I will probably weigh myself on Friday and then Tuesday. Going to the lake with friends for Labor Day weekend. Please give me the strength and willpower to not mess this up over the holiday weekend.

I was ok on all my totals for yesterday on SP, but I still could've made better food choices for dinner.

Lunch was ok, 'cuz I ate mostly sushi and just a bite of other stuff. Dinner was McD's, which is probably my least favorite fast food place (no offense to those of you that have loved ones employed there). I promised Malachi that if he ran the entire time they did laps & sprints at football last night that he could have whatever he wanted from McD's. He must've really wanted it because he gave 110% - he finished 5th in the laps and he is usually 3rd or 4th from the last out of about 45 kids. He first said he wanted a double QP w/ cheese, but then settled on a QP w/ apple dippers.

I was also having one of those "I can't get enough to eat" days yesterday. I ended up with 2 - yes 2 - of the new angus snack wraps (I did hold the cheese & mayo). Then I ordered a side salad to try and sneak my veggies in for the day

I'll do better today - I promise!

Tracking for yesterday...

Tuesday, August 31st...
Bfast: Jello Chocolate Sugar Free FF Pudding, Kashi TLC Honey Almond Flax Bar (200)

Is **** a bad word now? Just curious. Frankly, I think it's hilarious! What's wrong with k i n n?

For whomever it was that asked...I do WW online and when I go over my daily points, the website automatically deducts the extra points from my flex points first and then when the full 35 has been accounted for, it then takes the extra points from my exercise points. Was that clear enough? HTH

I have recovered from Monday's disappointment. Weighing in yesterday and being back down again sure helped.

I must confess that both Monday night AND last night I had the urge to throw caution to the wind and snack without measuring or tracking. But before I could get my behind up off of the couch to dig in to the treat of choice, I thought better of it. I knew I just wouldn't be able to face you guys if I had to reveal such behaviour. Not that you would have been judgmental but I just didn't want to have to admit that I had been careless...not after having worked so hard to get this far.

So, I would like to send out a big THANK YOU to Aimee for first introducing me to this thread...

and another big THANKS and I LOVE YOU GUYS to everyone for all of your love and support.

Apparently, I really need the accountability to other people after all. And if it weren't for the people on this thread, I would have slipped up countless times so you guys need to take partial credit for my weight loss success thus far. No, no! I insist!! I really wouldn't have made it this far if it wasn't for you. And because of you, I KNOW I will make my weight loss goals eventually.

Since we have another Disney trip coming up in January, I've been looking through our April pics and I had a sudden realization. I already weigh about 20 pounds less now than I did in those pictures and there's a good chance I'll lose 20 or 30 more between now and the next trip. So I could be 40 to 50 pounds lighter when I next pose with characters.

How exciting is THAT?? I've decided that I'll have to pose with my boyfriend again (the Norway troll for those who don't know) and then post both pics side by side for a before and after comparison.

So, look for that.....


in four month's time.

Happy Wednesday, hope everyone is having a good week!

My grandma's nurse (who comes to visit her once a week usually) asked me if I had lost weight today and said I was looking thinner Love it when that happens! It's hard to see for myself since I look at myself in the mirror everyday, but it's good to get that affirmation that you're doing something right!

Oh, I forgot to post about this, but I am seriously annoyed...the store where I found the salt + lime popcorn is not carrying it anymore! I just discovered that stuff and now it's gone?!

Now for my rant... I am slowly getting my pantry & freezer cleaned out of all the junk. (I have 4 Twinkies left that have been there for 6+ weeks!)I haven't been offering the junk as treats. If the kids ask for it, they can have it as long as it is with something healthy AND it's not right before dinner or at bedtime. What does DH do yesterday? He goes to the store and buys 2 boxes of Zingers! The bag is still sitting on the kitchen table. I was too angry to put them away. I know that when DS calls me today to let me know he's home from school that he will ask if he can have one of these. Ugh! I guess I will offer them as dessert if the kids eat all of their veggies & meat. I hate it that he does this. Calm down Jess... the world is not coming to an end.

 

[lizzyb5280]

Thanks so much to all of you for your kind words. I know that most of these issues are totally beyond my control, we're just trying to keep the stress about them (esp. DH's grandma) from driving us nuts. We've both been a bit more snippy - him particularly - which I know is from the stress, and I'm trying hard not to engage in a bunch of stress induced eating.

They were able to place a stent yesterday in his g-ma's bile duct to open it back up and allow the bile to flow again. This should help her jaundice and it's associated symptoms. They also did a biopsy, which hopefully we'll get results of tomorrow, but at this point they're giving her about 2 months w/o treatment and 6-8 months w/ chemo and radiation. That 2 month mark will hit really close to our WDW trip, which we CANNOT cancel, so my biggest fear is her passing either right before (and us missing the funeral) or while we're gone (and missing the chance to say goodbye). But like I said, between the money and the fact that DD can tell you "I'll be three years old on November 9 and we're going to Disney World for my birthday" there is no way we would cancel or reschedule. (We actually talked about this last night.) It's going to be hard enough on all of us when the time comes without taking away something we've looked forward to for months.

I'm going to put my private tracking on hold until Tuesday, and just do the best I can. That's when DD starts preschool, so as I'm developing my new routine I plan on making tracking a part of it. I do think I'm slowly losing though; my cheek bones seem more prominent, as does the medication pump implanted in my abdomen. Back pain permitting, when DD starts preschool I hope to get into a routine of going to "walk" the neighborhood, then coming back and doing Biggest Loser on the Wii.

I know it is hard and the stress will eat you alive but you have come so far please keep trying the best you can to keep up with your new healthy lifestyle. With this much stress around you and your family, you need to take care of you! I know this sounds selfish when everyone else is suffering but you will be no good to anyone or your family if you get sick. I am speaking from experience of what stress can do to you and it isn't pretty. Please be selfish and keep doing this for you and your family. Hugs

My hubby has done that to me before as well. Just like my MIL buying me a tub of ice cream for my birthday but we won't go there again!

Amanda – I’ll bet the people at the Drs office notice the difference (even if they don’t say anything). I’ll have to try those veggie ribs. They sound yummy right now. I think its hilarious that Piper didn’t notice the difference.

JoyfulTears (sorry, on a new computer and I haven’t transferred my files to be able to pull up my cheat sheet). I hate it when I find something that I like and then can’t find it anywhere (this happens to me all the time at Sam’s Club). Check the internet. I’ve actually bought stuff from Amazon when I couldn’t find it anywhere locally. It was actually cheaper than I had ever found it in the stores (except when it was on sale).

Elizabeth – Sending you big hugs that things work out for you and your family. Sometimes you have to pick and choose what stressful things you can handle and if tracking will add more pressure to your life, then just do the best you can to make healthy choices.

Food log
Breakfast: raisin bran w/ff milk
Lunch: subway 6” turkey sub with baked lays
Dinner: roast beef sandwich with Orzo pasta salad
Dessert: banana bread, peach tart slice, 6 dried apricots

I was doing really well with calories until Brendan brought home the peach tart from his culinary class. My only saving grace was that I did take a walk tonight even though it was over 90.

So is Skinny censored still or no?

I saw it back in the title but some of the most recent posts still have it ******?

It's weird cus I can't add a Magical Kingdoms ticker. It tells me there's a censored word contained within the code.

Think it's the K i n in there too?


Weird.


Another day tracking for me! That's 3 days in a row!

If only WW wasn't down for maintenance AGAIN.


GRRRRR!!



Julie!! You are most welcome! So glad I mentioned this place to you! Love having you on this journey with us!


Lizzy - big I know the feeling about not being able to cancel a Disney trip with the threat of a family illness looming over you. You have to do what's right for your family. Life goes on. I can't imagine the stress you guys are going through. You are one step ahead of the game by recognizing that the situation with his grandmother is what is making your DH snippy. Hopefully getting into a routine next week will help you out! I know it's helped me, now that schools back in session. Hang in there. We're here for you!!

Pixieplanner - You sound just like me!! I got soooooooooo mad at DH when he brought home a pizza on Father's Day. Here I was, trying really hard and he brings home a pizza!!!! So I feel your pain. Did he notice you were angry and that you didn't even put them away?


When I was looking through all the posts for trackers, I realized I never answered all y'all's questions about my hair.




Sorry guys!!

It's much better. I cut some off the sides, and played with it with some putty and a flat iron and I actually like it now.

Now the trick is gonna be getting a similar cut again the next time. I need to break down and find a stylist so I'd have a better chance at consistent cuts each time now that I'm gonna try to keep it short.

Oh sweetie This is such a difficult time for you. I understand you not wanting to cancel your trip, and I don't think you should. Life goes on, and you need to keep living it. For now, just do the best you can. Your plan sounds like a good one. Routines are really a blessing!

As for our routine, I'm wondering when it's going to start. This is the second week of school and most days I feel like I"m running around like the proverbial headless chicken. Every night this week we have had something going on, be it meet the teacher night or Scouts or whatever. It has made dinners very challenging and we've had to resort to fast food, leftovers, sandwiches, or whatever else I could throw together fast.

I had a funny little incident the other night. I was at parent night at the school. I was sitting next to a friend of mine that I haven't seen in a few months. At one point she mentioned that she noticed I had lost weight. Then she looked at me all serious like and said, "Are you OK?" I was puzzled and said, "Um.... yes?" Then it dawned on me what she meant was whether I was losing it because I was sick. I laughed and assured her that this was all very much on purpose. She laughed and said, "Oh good! Then I'm very happy for you!" It was really sweet and funny all at the same time.

[stayhomemom77]

Whew!!

It's been a busy (and slightly stressful) couple of days.

We had two of my nieces (aged 3 and 5) over for a bit of a stay the last couple of days and it's been rather LOUD and chaotic at my house with twice as many kids as usual.

Not that there was an misbehaviour (other than a little too much energy after lights out) but it's been interesting, to say the least.

The 3 year old only made it one night, so DH had to drive her home last evening (it's 2 hours round trip) and I'm bringing the 5 year old home in an hour. When I called my sister to let her know, she was upset that it was such a bother to us to make an extra trip. She thought we should just make the little one tough it out.

But she was CRYING for her mom! What could we do? And when we told the 5 year old that we were bringing them both home she started crying AND OUR TWO JOINED IN!! She loves sleep overs and had been ecstatic to learn that she was staying two nights in a row!! And the kids have been looking forward to this all summer long so it was quite a blow to them to learn it was going to be called off.

Anyway, Randy offered to make the trip last night if I would make the one this morning. As I was doing this in the first place, it made no difference to me. We told the kids and there were smiles all around but the little one had her shoes on and was practically out the door within five seconds. Too funny!! Good thing I didn't take it personally.

Consequently, I used up most of my remaining flex points last night on popcorn and leftover pizza but called it quits with about three points to spare. Close one. And yet, I know something has changed since I began this thread because:

A) I don't feel guilty at all for using up my flex points and I always used to hate myself for doing it at the beginning.

B) I stopped before they were truly ALL gone and didn't just throw caution to the wind and pig out as I felt the urge to do.

C) I didn't feel the same emotional connection between the stress and the stress eating as I've done in the past. I still ate in response to the feeling, but if was more out of habit than out of feeling the "need" for it, if that makes any sense.

So, I'm totally fine with last night, although slightly nervous that I'm up the creek without a paddle if I feel stressed again this week. I don't have many exercise points to use up so I'll have to either resist or go over and going over is NOT an option so I guess I'd better only engage in zen activities until Monday.

 

[pipersmom]

Good morning, all!

Dawn- I tried the creme brulee quakes...there was only one bag left on the shelf!! They ARE yummy! Thanks for the heads up

Aimee- I love your haircut, very cute!

Julie- Very cool that you're seeing the emotional benefits of what you're doing!

Barb- I feel exactly that way when I notice someone losing weight, wondering if they're sick or purposely trying to lose. Piper's home health nurse had been steadily losing, and it took me 3 visits before I commented because I didn't want to put my foot in my mouth!

Okay day here yesterday. Piper's lung function is down to 48%, we're going to give it a couple weeks on a different inhaled antibiotic and see what happens. Dr Froh did say that her lungs didn't SOUND horrible, so that's a positive. She & the Nutritionist were both on board with cutting Piper's cals and continuing the exercise to try and get some of the extra weight off. I had been concerned with giving her things with artificial sweeteners (ie, yoplait lite, weight watchers ice cream) but Dan (nutritionist) said right now the benefits are worth more than the risks. So no more Danimals for her! LOL. On the upside, she loves the yoplait lite anyway, I just limited it to once a week because of the sweeteners.

Tracking-
Breakfast- Eggbeaters & cheese on fat free tortilla.
Lunch- 2 96% fat free hot dogs on thin buns.
Dinner- Subway turkey breast on wheat w/ provolone, honey dijon, and a garden on top!
Snacks- RF oreos (can't wait til these are gone! won't buy them again..too tempting.), yogurt w/ .25 c granola, grapes.

Cals- 1425 (1700-2050) I was way low, but was done eating. I need to plan better on busy days!

Exercise- Walked 4 miles.

 

[PixiePlanner]

My hubby has done that to me before as well. Just like my MIL buying me a tub of ice cream for my birthday but we won't go there again!

It is so disturbing.

Pixieplanner - You sound just like me!! I got soooooooooo mad at DH when he brought home a pizza on Father's Day. Here I was, trying really hard and he brings home a pizza!!!! So I feel your pain. Did he notice you were angry and that you didn't even put them away?

He noticed they weren't put away because when I left they were still in the bag. When I got home, they were sitting on the table. Did he realize I was angry? I'm sure he didn't... noticing emotions is not his forte. However, I do stand corrected. There was only one box of Zingers; the other was a box of Scooby Snacks... still junk but atleast they're more along the size of a Teddy Grahm.

A mild celebration here... neither child asked for a Zinger or Twinkie! I considered this my victory of the day. Yes, I put the junk away but more to get it out of eyesight than anything else. Someday my pantry will be cleaned out of all junk.




Tracking for yesterday:

B-fast: None
Lunch: Taco Salad w/ grilled chicken breast. I didn't eat the chips!
Dinner: Hamburger, Doritos & grapes
Snack: Gardettos
Drinks: 3 Diet cokes, 16oz of water & 8oz of 1% milk

Bad, Bad day yesterday No one to blame but myself. I had to run over an hour away to get supplies for my business and took my Mom which is fine but we always go out for lunch. Anyways I figured we would go to McD's (as it is really the only thing around where we go) and if you remember my comment from the other day I love thier salads. Well Mom is a health nut and I figured I would be safe with her. Well didn't she say, you know I feel like some fries and a hamburger. I could have easily said fine and gotten myself a salad but I didn't, I caved, I got a double hamburger, small fries and a coke zero. As I was standing waiting I looked at the nutritional info. Big mistake...almost 600 cals total. I caved in... then later she wanted an ice cream also from McD's so I had an ice cream...then when I got home hubby didn't want the pork chops that he had pulled out for dinner so off we went for Mexican I think if people were trying to test me yesterday I failed badly. It is healthy for the rest of the week. It is my nephew's b-day on the weekend so I will have a small piece of cake but that is it. Why is it you think, okay I can have this for lunch and then have a lighter dinner and I will be okay and then whamo things don't work out as planned? AAAGGGHHHH! Okay I feel better now and I better get back to work.

Can't wait until this yard sale is over. So NOT worth the effort and time it is taking. I'll have to keep reminding myself of the space I have reclaimed in my own home...
I think that was the last of the green beans this year. Managed to can over 50qt. Not bad! That's a qt. a week through next fall.

9/1/10 DONE
VEG DONE

I'm just curious - does your family eat a lot of green beans? Don't take this the wrong way - it seems like a quart a week is a lot. Of course, I only like green beans fresh out of the garden and raw, so what do I know? Do you can other veggies too?

How did you prepare the zuchini w/ parmesan? I just acquired 4 small ones and would love to try them in a different way. Most of the time I just make zuchinni bread.
