THanks guys. I finished up in maintenance yesterday, but not today. Had a bad show, which 'encouraged' me to have a bad eating day but certainly wasn't the cause of it. I had bad cravings all day. Still trying to get myself back on track! Not finished fighting to get back! I don't mind staying at this same weight for a month or 2 before losing again, but I refuse to gain! I'm showing a big gain right now due to all the sodium and probably a little of a gain, so I gotta get right back at it.
 
That's a great attitude! You've come so far and your very close to your goal. 3/4 of the way there! Take all the time you need just don't go back <3
 
Thank you.
My show ended terribly unfortunately and I had to go to my parents for supper due to my grandparents being down, and today just overall wasn't a good day. I feel optimistic for tomorrow and really want to get back on it!
 
Finally! Not only did I finish below maintenance, I finished below 1500 cals which is my normal 'losing weight' calorie count during the week!! I did so well today! I still gotta get back to my exercising but as long as I'm eating well I'm ok with myself right now!
 
Yea! a good day! Find yourself a positive groove my friend and then ride that pony a while (why am I always tempted to use horse references on your thread?)
 
THanks guys! I'm alright with horse references, haha.
Another great day!!! Under 1500 cals again! Went to the chiro cause I was not sitting straight on my horse. Turns out it'd been 4 years since I was last there and the comment beside my last appointment said 'not sitting straight on horse'. A bit of a trend there. As I figured, I was out totally opposite of the way I tend to be out. I knew this because I usually sit off to the left on my horse when I am crooked, but I had been sitting off to the right this time.
 
Aww, sorry your show ended terribly! I know it's hard eating healthy at home but looks like you're on track again. Urgh isn't it awful how one bad day can cause so many cravings? Doin well, keep at it!
 
Great job on the eating, mystic! :)

So, are you sitting on the horse improperly because of your back, or is your back having issues because of the way you sit?
 
Last time I was not sitting straight on my horse it was due to a six pack of coors light!

Haha, awesome.

Did great again with my eating. Under 1500 cals. So the next several days will be interesting. Tomorrow I will probably be going to the Stampede in the evening if I can get done work and riding in time for it to make sense to go. Then I am going with my friend to Idaho for the weekend after work on Friday so I'm sure my eating will not be terribly good.
Gonna try to not eat much at Stampede. Since I'll be going late I'll try to eat a bit of supper beforehand and leave some cals for a snack or 2. On the weekend I'll just try not to go crazy.
 
Sorry it's been a couple days since I've been on.
Stampede is a 10 day long fair/rodeo/concert. It's world renowned and known as 'the greatest outdoor show on earth' (or something like that) and is held every year in calgary.
I went to Idaho this weekend with a friend for a wedding. It was a lot of driving for a very short stay (only stayed in Idaho for half a day and a night pretty much and it was an 8 hour drive. Didn't eat great as expected but it could have been worse too.
Had some horrendous news come to me just before leaving on the trip about my father. It's a very long story but this weekend my family and I have pretty much decided to cut ties with him completely as he's chosen another life over us. If he is ever to come back to our family it's gonna take months or years to accept him back. This is obviously an incredibly hard period of time for our family and I'm finding out things from the last 4 or so years that have happened that are incredibly devastating that I never knew about and I have no idea how my mom has remained as strong as she has. This is something that 7-8 years ago I NEVER could have imagined my family would go through in the slightest. If someone had said this would be our life 7 years ago, I would have laughed in their face and probably punched them out for thinking some absurd things. I feel very bad for me and my siblings and their wives, but I feel horrendous for my mother and my nieces and nephews. Thankfully they are young enough to not understand what's going on but they are gonna grow up without one of their grandfathers and to me that's devastating to think about.
It's gonna be hard to really get on track and eating well with such news and things that are happening but I can't slip back into old ways or I will feel even worse.
 
I'm so sorry to hear about your family situation :( That's an impossibly hard thing to have to go through. My thoughts and prayers are with you hun.

...I know a few people who went to the Stampede this year. Jealous! I've never been, heard its really fun.
 
THanks guys. THese last couple days certainly haven't been good eating days. Gonna try to make sure I make my lunch up for tomorrow and be more prepared.
