I'm sick. Low grade temp, chills, body aches and head ache. I didn't eat my planned for lunch or snack (salad and yogurt) because I wanted something hot. Not much calorie damage though as it was a pretty even swap.

I only managed some body weight only exercise.

I'm better medicated this morning but still feeling cr*ppy.

Not really worrying about food today....

That is where I am right now in reqards to our finances. .

Judy-way to go-so glad to hear the good news and I agree w/Iz, what a great way to honor such a special occasion.

As for me-I am so far off the wagon, I don't even know where the wagon is. I have been so busy, have not planned well, have eaten way too much take-out, no gym time. I feel overwhelmed right now, not to mention very fat and bloated. Have you ever gotten to the point where you feel like you'll never turn around and find your way back? That is where I am right now

I had a good Wednesday- it sure feels good to be on plan.

Judy, big hugs and congrats from me too.

Ditto from me too.

I had a good day Tuesday.
I had my once yearly check up with my oncologist. He says I am doing fine. He was impressed with my weight loss. He said, "You've lost 20 lbs since last year. I assume it was intentional." (unintentional weight loss is a cancer red flag).
I assured him it was and told him all I had been doing in the past year since I last saw him and he said keep it up.

DH died 28 years ago Monday. Tuesday would have been our 30th wedding anniversary. We had a double elopement . Dena and I went out to eat with the other couple and had a good time. Another couple (and their son) from our mutual square dancing past joined us.

Good job girlies!

I had a great Tuesday and I plan for wednesday to be great also. I can feel the pants getting looser.

I'm down two pounds from the weekend and am feeling much less bloated.

I was down a 1/2 lb. this AM, have pulled out all the old beck stuff, and am nearly caught up on homework!!!

I'm doing great on food, and if I can shake this stupid cold, I'll be doing great, not just good. I even took myself out for a run hoping to dislodge the gunk in my sinuses. I'll know if I accomplished anything or not around 10:30pm when my decongestant wears off.

Tuesday was iffy---- I ate more rice at dinner than planned. Total stress eating that did not help the stress at all-

Here's my plan for tomorrow-
E: gym workout
B: berries with ff yogurt, oats and flax
L: salad, leftover rice and veggies
S: skim milk tea
D: 4 small veggie meatballs and salad.

Gotta stick to the plan tomorrow...

Hang in there Jill.

And wow and cool to Denise!

My goal is to try and eat some fruits and veggies this week AND get to the gym hopefully once or twice. I am not enjoying my life right now-it is way too busy. I really need down time and I feel like I haven't been getting it.

Jill

PS: Good luck tonight Denise!

Just a goal for the DAY!

I'm really stressed out today, with TV tonight. Joint assembly with the Jr. High at 8am tomorrow. and then our ginormous district concert next Monday.

My immediate thought this morning was, "Maybe I should have Taco Bell for lunch?".

HOWEVER, I'm also 2 lbs over my redline weight. AND I have food at home.

I'm actually sort of hoping that weighing 3-4 lbs more than usual, might help the wrinkles in my face tonight... but I also don't want to add to them. Nelson thinks they look good. I'm undecided. But neither of us thinks that I should gain more.

So plan today:

8am 1 slice of toast, smart bal

10am oatmeal and milk

noon br rice and giant pile of vegs and some kind of Asian sauce

2ishpm banana and peanut butter

5pm couple of cups of Cherios and milk slurped down

There is going to be Mexican Food at the studio, but from past experience, I'll be too busy to want or have any.

sunday was good. monday was very good. so far, this week is going well. i have court on friday and will have to miss the gym so i have to focus on staying on track this week.

i start with a new personal training client on saturday and i am excited to do that work again.

Monday - check.
Good day, on plan. A bit of white knuckling towards the end but not too bad.

I'm on track for a good day today, and this week I'm just trying to keep the scale from bouncing around. I stayed on track yesterday, but paid in water retention this AM, but it was worth every bite.

There are no major upheavals in the schedule this week, and if I got lucky, I should have a really good grade on my test from Friday.

I am hoping things get back to normal around here.

My weight is still the same as it was at the end of the Team Lean challenge but my schedule and my eating has been eratic for the last 3 weeks due to being sick and then having jury duty.

My eating has not been "out of control" but definately different than what I usually eat and it seems like it has been forever since I went to the Y.

I didn't do well this weekend. Ate out at a restaurant twice and had a party. I'm at the upper end of my weight range this morning.

Back to the usual food plan today.

I did really well all weekend. I think most of the food sensitivity drama is under control now. I think I'm on track for a really good week.

Sheri, I totally understand how you feel. Just focus on enjoying your trip and friends. You'll do fine.
