Is it Day 14 already?
How are you all doing?
Need to make adjustments or continue on course?

I copied this quote as it really speaks to me:
Today's Thought of the Day (thanks Sheri!):Impatience comes from focusing on negative thoughts. Results come from focusing on being happy and constantly renewing your commitment to change and to improve the things that you can, one small step at a time.-Bob Greene

14 days already? This is making my summer fly by even fasterFrowner The weather has been fabulous...too hot for the baseball game yesterday and we ended up leaving early (Mariners were losing anyway). We had lots of fun people watching and my dh loved eating all the food! I shared some fries, but it was too hot for me to eat so I had a frozen lemonade..yummy!

Didn't exercise yesterday...walked a lot at the stadium. Haven't exercised today...still could...or I will try on some fall clothes to see if they fit???

Need to be more focused this weekSmiler


Kat

Goal:
Exercise at least 3 times per week.

Remember the positives.

Get the munchies under control!

I'm very pleased to report that I got right back on that treadmill yesterday and did my 60 minutes. Although I agree with you all about the all-or-nothing mentality not being the best idea, the "day off" has almost always been the beginning of the end for me. I knew that this time I was not going to let it get me.

I had planned to get to the gym in the late afternoon yesterday, but because I was spending so much time worrying about not doing it, I finally just gave up the project I was working on and went to the gym.

The blood sugars went well, I think. I say this because I fell asleep with a book on my nose again and forgot to do my bedtime blood sugar reading. And the two-hour after meal reading simply slipped my mind. I'm going to try to set a timer after dinner tonight. This morning's reading was the best so far! I'm very excited.

I've also already completed my 60-minute walk for today so the rest of the afternoon is mine--well, that is, of course, after checking with DW (laughing).

My best to you all!

Bill

Well, looking at my two baby steps so far:

I closed the kitchen before 8 p.m. 12 out of 14 days. And I took my lunch to work on Monday and Tuesday (worked at home on Wed., went to a department outing on Thurs., and ate fruit from the farmers' market on Friday).

I haven't decided on my baby step for week #3; I'll post it by tomorrow.

Already took the dogs for their walk, got that in early. It's not as easy as swimming, but we all like it.

Journaling is going well, I need to figure out a way to make sure that I get all my points in before 8:00. But then I find if I don't eat something small before i go to bed....at 12:00, I am waking up at night with a low blood sugar.
Cereal seems to work and isn't so heavy that I can't sleep. I'll do some experiementing.

Weigh in tomorrow at the clinic...last one for awhile, as I will be weighing in at WW. That will start on Tuesday. Still very nervous and afraid. But I will keep at it this time, I can't help but loose weight, always have on WW.
I guess I need the face to face contact. Last week I mentioned it at school, one of the secy's daughters is the leader and I dearly love her, there were about five that said they were starting before school gets underway too....so I will have company.

Got the first part of my "mothers and daughters" book off to the publisher this weekend. I hope she likes it. I am excited to share it with her.

Have a great day!
cathy


It's never too late to get it right.

Thanks Sandy!

I need to get my core work in but it'll have to be tonight. I've already met my minutes goal but will still try to get at least a short walk in too.

I'm heading to my parents to get my sister, then we go pick up here new bed, then move her old bed to my guest room Roll Eyes guess exercise is covered today. We'll go out for lunch as well, but I'm planning on something light because its just so darn hot. I'll check back in later.

I did 30 minutes of yoga and my upper back work. I also did 30 minutes of raking acorns in lieu of a walk as the yard work needed to be done.

Still need to do core work today. I will post here when that is complete. Then my weekly goal will have been met.
