Yesterday was a bomb, totally didn't drink enough water, munched much more than I should of. And my back has been in pain and stiffening all weekend!! Today its equally as bad, no matter what I do to stretch it. We did get quite a bit of snow.. so I don't think I'll make it to the gym either. Although if it clears up, the gym doesnt' open until 1 so I may make it! We'll see.. Just hope I can fight the munchies..

Just hope I can fight the munchies..hey dana, how are ya!?!?!! dont fret too much on the munchies...try for some healthy ones (is that possible?). no, just kidding...fruit/veggies/nuts...may curve some of that desire. the weekends are always harder for me as well. we have the snow DUMPING here and it is crazy. i probably won't go outside today except with my dogs. Luckily, i am housesitting and there is a treadmill here i can jump on later. But, for now, I'm with you, my dogs woke me early and i cant sleep , so here i am...i'm sure that 1 lb is water weight as well considering everything you said and be careful exercising if you are so sore...you dont want to aggravate anything and make it longer before you can get back in. thanks for that oprah link. that is interesting as i did not see it.
have a great sunday!

oh oh, how did i not post in here in so long? shame on me!
i tried reading back some to catch what challenge you are doing, and cant find it. so what are you doing? Im thinking of making some sort of exercise goal for myself. I also have to lower my cals here and there to make up for Friday night. went WAY over. But want to really buckle down for the week.
Im avoiding the scale completely till after my TOM because hey I know better!
dont sweat the ups and downs, we all know its gonna happen! and thanks from me too, for the oprah link! i love boosts like that to keep me motivated!
heres my favorite quote from the oprah link:
"That little gnawing feeling you get in your stomach late at night means that your body is ready to "eat the fat." When you give in to the craving, he says, you are eating your results. "If you go into a calorie deficit, you're going to be a little bit hungry. People need to learn how to accept that, be okay with that slight discomfort."

Ouch a sore back is the pits! If your FH is good at it, you should get him to give you a good back massage! Just make sure that if you have any big muscle knots, he isn't too scared to *really* rub them hard! It hurts like heck when he's doing it, but once he's done, the knot is all gone and you can continue on with your day!

Thanks guys!!
Kate: that's my exact favorite quote and how I feel about weight loss from that episode!!! Oh and the challenge I am doing, is in the "The Club" section of this forum. Its another two week challenge with teams etc Chk it out I think you can stil join if you want.
Skyler: hey there!! I'm hanging in. Glad you are still doing well!! Just trying to avoid the vanilla wafers.
Beagle: Thanks..I did have FH rub my back out, and I can get him to be "tough" on me. I do whine that it hurts, so he's hesitant, but it helps so much more later. And a hot soak in the tub did wonders too.. of course the advil couldn't of hurt either!!
Ok.. somebody HIDE the vanilla wafers from me. I am being SO bad. At least I am drinking my 2nd glass of water right now. I am just unfortunately feeding into the fact that I am DREADING work tomorrow. I'm a selfish bratt I realize..but.. ooh I think I'd rather take up Kate's job!

That's funny about the vanilla wafers. If those things are not in the house, I don't ever even think about getting any or wanting any. If we do have some in the house, I just keep eating them for some reason. Hmmmm... maybe that means I shouldn't ever buy them! Lol!

HH: lol.. I think the same goes for me. I haven't stayed away completely I confess. but at least I only take a couple from the box and I don't carry it around with me!! tempting as it is! Oh well I bought them for a friend of our's his son, who visit frequently and he LOVES them. Bad excuse to keep em in the house! lol... I think tomorrwo they may hit the trash or somethin!
Cassie: OK!! OK! I'm steppin back!!! hehe

I know what you mean though New Leaf. My personal weakness is Teddy Grahams. I love the little honey covered things. I used to always keep them in the house for the kids to snack on from time to time, but I kept snacking on them too! I haven't bought them in a month. I feel a bit bad about it. I have been buying Goldfish instead (which they like but I dont care for). Maybe someday I can let the little Teddy Grahams back into the house...or maybe not! lol.
Hang in there and keep up the great work this week!

Sunday Confession,
Ok..so I've been horrible this weekend. I can't seem to stop myself. Even my FH yelled at me when he discovered I had two snacks for dessert.! Just awful.. I am so down about going to work tomorrow. Sundays are horrible, and I know this week is going to drag. I"m not really tryin to throw myself a pity party.. or be such a freaking whiner. Most people would love to get paid for a job, in which they don't have an immense amount of work to do. But I however NEED to be kept busy. I need to feel like I am makin gsome progress in some direction, not idly sitting there to keep some organization with in the office.
Luckily.. I am trying to divert my food away for the rest of this evening. I also ordered a couple of textbooks regarding childhood development and early elementary teaching. At the moment we can't afford me to go back to school and grab my masters in anything. So for now.. I'm researching a few fields, and things I may possibly want proceed with career wise. Ahh yes, so much for that marketing degree, that I've never found to be that wonderful! Alas... At least I'll have somethin to busy me at work once the books arrive!

Hey Dana, I'm sorry I haven't replied in your journal much the past couple of days, I haven't been wanting to bring you down with my bad case of the Study Whines
I'm going to assume you've put the wafers away/out of the house, and say Good Job! Also, have fun shovelling all the snow if you haven't already - now that's a workout if there ever was one!
Edit: heh, I must have been writing my post as you were finishing up yours. Two desserts?! Tsk, tsk, tsk. Just don't do it again, eh?

Good morning NewLeaf I am sorry your weekend was so rough. A pity party isn't such a bad thing IF it doesnt' last more than a day I, like you, need to be busy and feel useful. It just makes the days go so much faster when you can't take time to peek at the ol' tick tock. Hopefully those books will come soon and you can occupy your time Heres hoping for a good day & week for you. I know you will stay on track
