Cannon's Journal

Berries never last in my house either!

I love fruit.
Vegies on the other hand........

;)
 
Wow! You guys have made my journal a happenning even without me in it :) It was damp and rainy and wonderful today. I am really enjoying it. Tomorrow I will catch up on all the diaries. I really haven't been eating poorly and I think I've actually been eating well most of the time. Tomorrow I will have a very busy journal day.
 
Hey Cannon,

Glad to hear things are going good. I've been MIA too lately, but it's great that we'er both going to be hitting the diaries hard tomorrow eh!

Go Raider's!
 
Well I have returned and I'm down exactly 5 pounds for the week. For some reason my body likes nice round numbers. Maybe cause I'm nice and round :) I still believe that the calories I leave behind are more important than the calories we take in. Yesterday, my sister and I went to visit an aunt of ours. She's not really an aunt, but she was a close friend of our parents growing up. She's a heavy drinker and smoker and she lives a very active and independent lifestyle at 87. She's the kind of spunky broad that got me ready for you lot ;-). She also got on the floor and played with us when we were kids instead of hanging with the adults all the time--a great unreleated relative. Anyway, she used to live by us and now she's an hour away so my sister was nice and brought her a cake, some doughnuts, and some bread from the local bakery. When I got in my sister's car she had just been to the bakery and she also had 2 chocolate doughnuts and a long john. I had 3 choices 1. Tell my sister thanks, but I'm on a diet 2. Eat 2 of the 3 doughnuts 3. Have one doughnut and pass on the rest. I chose choice number 3 and I stayed in my calorie goal for the day. I could have done better, I could have done worse, but I didn't feel deprived and hey--I'm down 5 pounds with more to come :)
 
Another 5 lbs .... great going Cannon. And way to exercise that self control. I bet that car smelt sooooo good with all the bakery items in it. That would have killed me ..... I don't eat wheat so bakeries are torture for me. It always smells so good :p
 
wow those everyday challenges are the worst ones. As long as were home on our diets everything is fine. Its when we get out there in the real world in the mist of the sugar eating masses we really have to find that storage of willpower. Good job.......
 
Mmm, I made two lamb chops for dinner. I love lamb. I was hoping I had a small potato, but no such luck. Still it was a good meal and for starch I had a piece of sour dough bread with butter.
 
Welcome home Cannon, and CONGRATULATIONS on the 5 pounds!! That is VERY cool!

I absolutely agree with you, every time I'm in a situation where I know what I *would* have eaten in the past, compared to whatever choice I now make, I am blown away by how many calories I must have consumed without giving it a second thought. Two doughnuts - NO PROBLEM...

Good for you for sticking with option #3! Feeling deprived is no way to live!
 
Welcome back home Cannon. :)
And yay for your 5 pounds. :) Congrats. Bet losing those 5 pounds is sweeter than eating those 2 other doughnuts eh? ;)
 
Hey Cannon

Good work with the 5 pounds and passing on those dounuts... For people on a diet its a victory just too not indulge, I know had a close incouter with my friend yesterday:) Well, good on you and welcome back to better temperatures:)
 
Congrats on the five pounds!!!!! That is awesome!!!! You're only 12 pounds away from your summer goal!!! So happy for you!!

Hope you have a nice and cool weekend!!!
 
Tomorrow I will be eating cake. It is my mother's 75th birthday party and we're having a big party at the local hotel. I'm not worried about the food calories, but I will probably be drinking too. I know what we'll be having since my sister's and I ordered it and it's stuff that I will eat, but nothing I'll be tempted to overindulge on at least.
 
Cannon,
It sounds like you've got a good plan for tomorrow - I sure know how drinking lowers my resolve though ;)

Enjoy the birthday party!!
 
I still believe that the calories I leave behind are more important than the calories we take in.

Isn't that the truth. I'm with M....if I start drinking my self control goes out the window right with it. You can probably do a better job than us party girls. Congrats on the weight loss this week. You are doing fantastic! Say Happy Birthday to Mom for me!
 
Party Girls...US?

;)

:::m2m ducks under the table with piney to hide:::

Cannon, how was the birthday bash?
 
Hey the Birthday Bash went real well. I did overdo it on the cake a little, but I'll live. I need to get back in the routine starting tomorrow, but my mom was overjoyed with it. She really is such a late bloomer. I don't think she made such a great choice when she married my dad, but she got it right with her second marriage at age 72. Now, I'm cleaning cleaning cleaning!
 
as a neat freak may I just say... WOOT to cleaning! heh. ^__^;

okay, with that outta way I just wanna say way to go on the birthday thing. Tomorrow I'll be attending a small BBQ for my own birthday actually. I just KNOW I'll be overdoing EVERYTHING... cake and all. I just hope I can show as much restraint as you. :)
