I used to have "episode" weekly when I first had it out, then monthly, now maybe once or twice year. I was told it was my gall bladder, maybe it's just me...lol!

I'm feeling a little bit sunnier but the clouds are hanging...I'm getting there!
Had an awesome time at the school this morning, it was green day in honor of St. Patricks day (they miss it due to March break). My idea too!!
Had so much fun, took some photos. I took in green apples with whipped topping/cream cheese/yogurt dip, tinted green and crackers with cheez whiz tinted green. It was a big hit with my son's class (Gr. 5). Def. put a smile on my face.

I did do my treadmill before I left, felt good to get it done and not drag it til this afternoon.

THANK YOU so much, coming on here and reading everyones comment helps me so much, really..it does!

Woohoo treadmill!! I love mine and get a lot of use out of it when I don't feel like going to the gym which has been a lot lately.
I always get gassy and bloated at first when I bring back the healthy eating too - make sure you get lots of water and it will help flush things out. The bloated feeling from veggies is way better than feeling bloated off grease :puke:
Keep it up and I look forward to seeing your progress when I return! :seeya:

I love my treadmill too. Don't know what I'd do without it!! It's been so cool and windy here, raining today and giving that until Sunday...

I always drink 2L of water a day, love my water!!

Thanks, here's hoping I don't disappoint you!
 
B-yogurt..and I think a kiwi, was so preoccupied with getting Olivia "green" for green day that I don't remember

D-sweet potato, veggies, lean turkey
s-2 clementines, green tea
S-spicy chicken....wasn't hungry enough to eat any more..should have had my veggies but......

E-treadmill 30min./walk with Danny and he kids..quite a leisurely walk though, over an hour! Did get a bit of a work out crawling down and then up snow banks in and out of the ditch (collecting cans, the kids are doing it to save money). It was fun though.

Well done you!

Multi quote:
Instead of cliking on quote you should click on the icon next to eat its a piece of paper with + sign as well as " sign.
So select as many posts you wanna quote and then you click on quote - then it copies all quotes in one response window.
Hope it makes sense.
Your food sounds healthy!!

I m happy that you feel sunnier!!!

Feeling sunnier today even thought it's raining out!
Finally down the 2lbs I put on Wed. night eating chips.....it was driving me crazy!
Need to up my exercise but don't want it to "become my job"...I was told to do what you could fit into your daily life and I am.
Not sure what to do though.

Going grocery shopping today, then home to paint my oldests room, she wants to do it over March break but we're busy most of the days so, we gotta get to it today!
 
Hey busy but sunnier lady!! :D You are doing really good with food today! i m so proud of you!

Well done on those 2 lbs!!! :hurray: i know chips/potato/fries always gets you (me anyway) anything potato related and i put on weight...

Have a nice afternoon! :grouphug:
 
Went grocery shopping..ran into a taste tester, that I avoided, took my lunch to avoid something "bad" and didn't buy the dagwood sandwich I was going to for dh because I KNEW I'd eat some...so 3 hurdles avoided that a cpl of weeks ago..I woudn't have..

Went for our walk tonight, even carried my youngest on my back for a few telephone pole lengths.

Trying to feel "into" this but it has NOT come yet!...........
 
You can do this! 3 hurdles means somethings changing :) It takes a long time to change a lifetime full of habits. Improvements are always a step in the right direction.
 
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Amanda what s wrong?
Dont give up!!
You can do it - you ve been doing so great!!!!!!
give us a shout - if you are feeling down - thats why we are here for
:grouphug:
 
What's wrong? The first day ever that I didn't even have a small pc. of dark choc. that I had my snack and water done by 7pm, so that I'd have a good weigh in..like no half pound because I ate something bad.
I avoided a food sampler, took my own lunch, didn't buy the white bread sandwich I was going to for supper (Dagwood) exercised before I left, my dd bought a box of Easter cream egg cakes *that she ended up not liking (haven't even had a smell of them) and went up a lb. No, it wasn't muscle either.
I was devastated.
Stayed to bed half the day, spent the second half helping my oldest to finish painting her room..didn't even go for a family walk.....
I ate fine yesterday, forgot my carb at dinner so I had a sandwich for supper. Then had some boxed pizza for snack last night and 2, yes 2 choc. bars just to be defiant...only up 0.6........go figure.

This isn't "new" to me, it's the same system I followed in 2008/9 and I've been "roughly" following it since.

I'm just tired of the good day~down 0.5, bad day~up 2lbs.
I put on 2lbs eating chips Wed. night and have not been able to relose it!!

I have NO motivation. I exercise because I know I have to. I used to love exercising.

My niece is supposed to be rejoining SFL (we joined together in 2008) but having her doing it with me, doesn't motivate me, I motivate her because she's competitive, I'm not.

I just feel like I'm going in circles right now. I come on here read in journals..how people have over eaten, had something greasy, cake etc...but weigh in comes and they're down........WTF?..I STRUGGLE all week to avoid EVERYTHING and still gain...........I just don't get it. They just have a bad day, move on and it comes right back off......mentally I just can't handle it!

My kids had a sleepover last night to my parents house and are baking today........so avoid that how? Half of it will be coming home.

If what I did showed on the scale (good and bad) I'd be fine but it seems only the bad shows.

Just not sure I'm back into this yet..........I'm sitting here alone debating on going back to bed or exercising....and the bed just may win!
Just feeling like SUCH a failure...

Amanda!!! You arent a failure you can do it. You coming back this website and replying means that you still do care.
I read it in one of your posts - maybe you were replying to someone esles post - that you want to be healthy for you and your family. You wanna be there for your husband and your 3 kids - thats your motivation.
You are so lucky to have such a nice family!! Really you are! Take care of you for them. I d swap with you any day!
It s all about a state of mind. Either you think you can or you cant you are always right.
So decide that you can - nobody will force feed you. I have temptation here too. I have my friend here with me - she s drinking beer eating cake - i just learned to say no.
Come on YOU CAN DO IT!!! :party:
We are here for you.
So be strong - just say NO to temptation! Besides its ok to slip once in a while - just be prepared for it - dont give up!!!!

Big HUG :grouphug:
 
I really do wonder if I can sometimes...guess I'm the glass half empty type of person.
I do try..but it never sticks, darn it!!

I want that to be my motivation but when "We love just the way you are" comes out, it makes it easy. Yes, I'm glad he feels that way and isn't verbally abusive, making me self concious but it's easy to "fall of the wagon" too.

Just decide I can do it.....that doesn't come easy but I can try....I didn't go to bed but I'm sitting here freezing and although exercise would warm me up, I'm slow to start..

I'm trying to prepare myself for "mistakes" but I'm always thrown for a loop somewhere it seems.

O.k. I'm back but it's not sunny yet!!

Thank you Justina..what would I do without you?
