A new beginning...

Hi guys!!! :) Just popping inr eal briefly to tell you that we arrived safely in Michigan and are having a blast! The shower was wonderful today! My sisters all got along. My in-laws came to the shower as a surprise!! My fiance and I had NO idea they were coming, they told us of course they werne't going to drive from VA to Michigan for a shower!! BUT they did and it was just so great!!! :)

I will fill you all in more later, and the diet is so/so, but I figure its my vacation.. I'll be BACK on tomorrow or Tuesday. :) Thank you for all you support and thinking of me while I'm away and I will check all your diaries hopefully Tuesday night or Wed morning!! ;)
 
hey NL glad you were able to pop in and that everything has gone well :D Can't wait to hear all about it! :D
 
Glad You Were Given That Surprise By Your In Laws That Was A Great One And I Think You Needed It!
 
No one has posted in your diary today? Well let me be the first! We miss ya and hope you are having a blast! Can't wait to hear from ya again.... :)
 
Ok ok!!! I'm back!!!!!!! :)

Boy I missed you girls... but uhm I didn't miss nitpicking over my food!!! lol! :) Sorry.. ! Nah I actually had some tummy issues two days I was gone, because of eating yucky food for dinner that my body just is not used to!! So that was an interestind discovery! :)

I had a great time, ate more than I should, spent TOO much time at the Ice Cream shop that my mom and sister own. It was a blast! I absolutely loved that my in-laws drove 12.5 hrs to come to our shower, it was really touching. When I expressed my shock to my future-mother-in-law that they drove ALL that way! ..she says "I told ya I love ya" They're so sweet!

It was so much fun. Our shower games consisted of one in which they asked 20 q uestions about Sid to see how well I knew him (i.e. favorite color, car etc.) And for everyone I answered incorrectly, I had to stick A MASSIVE piece of bubble gum in my mouth.. I tihnk I wound up with 7 or 8 pieces.. it was quite gross! :)

We got some more things finalized with the wedding plans so it was very productive I think.. Now back to the diet this week!!! And the gym! I miss the gym!! And of course.. I missed my weight-loss pals!! I don't know HOW I am going to catch up with all of your diaries!! But I'm gonna try!!
 
Thanks you guys!! :)

So I mentioned writing down my food (as I always do) and.. my emotions at the sametime.. So here is the start for today..
Wednesday...
Emotions/Thoughts: Tired, not looking forward to work. Have to pick up my dogs, then drop them off home and head to the office. The only thing that is exciting me right now is my splurge to Starbucks. One Venti Carmel Machiato and a lemon iced pound cake. I was pretty hungry, but these were not low-cal or low-fat items. Stressed about money strained, worried about Sid's stress coming back to work and money being a bit tight. Sigh!
Food: Iced Pound Cake & Venti Carmel Machiato
After thoughts: Splurge today... on track tomorrow!

Lunchtime thoughts: I'm looking forward to teh sweet taste of a regular coke. In my head its what gets me through the rest of the day. I'm also pondenrig all the cleaning I need to do before my in-laws come over tonight, the thank you notes I have to write still, and the guest room that needs cleaning for our friends that are coming Friday evening to stay. Eek!

I'll update this as I go along today.. so keep reading!

Ok.. so HERE goes (and lets hope NTL doesn't kick my butt for this!!! :D )
Lunch: sandwich, few slices of ham & fat-free cheese on wheat bread. bowl of grapes.

Post Lunch Time Snack: still craving that regular coke. And why not ice cream! Ok..can I blame TOM for eating or having sugar cravings? I dunno, but I went and got a small m&m mcflurry and large coke from McD's. Already thinking abotu what I can eat for dinner... My hip hurts, I'm tired and don't want to clean tonight. OMG Just realized I might have to make dinner for my in-laws. oy! No food in the house!

Tomorrow is a new day. That's all I can say.

Glad you had a great time and are determined again. You can do it! I was suggestion to Paula we make a commitment to post every bite we eat as writing it down is in the book.
 
Ok, ok, wait a minute... I 'm really glad to see you back, but you cannot go back to Starbucks for at least another week! Plus, you should save yourself some money and get some eggs (a couple of bucks for a DOZEN) instead of spending your money on Vinties! ;)

It sounds like you're going to be really busy this week. Don't let yourself get stressed out, and please, please don't take your stress out on food. I know how easy it is to do... But you're back from weight loss vacation, and you need to take this seriously. Find something else that relaxes you, other then food.

Have a good day and we're here for you!!!
