MoonGoddess's Path

I don't even want to step on that scale tomorrow. I piled it on the plate, but didn't go of seconds... had pie, cake, & WAY TOO much Chex Mix!! Ug. I'm glad I am back home & can control what I have access to a bit better now. No more gravy, no more BUTTER in frickin everything. I purposefully tried to leave it out & my mom b*tched up a storm & added it... um... If I was the one cooking don't you get it MY way. Jeez. extra calories we didn't need. Oh well. Had a great time & enjoyed some talks, a movie or two (if you count the ones we just happened to flip to on tv even more!)

Hope everyone had a wonderful time & are able to get back on track soon.
 
Nice to hear you had a good Thanksgiving. Mine was pretty decent too. I ended up going to my dad's with my little bro and eating with him, my stepmom, and her kids. I'm glad alcohol was served. but, all in all I enjoyed myself.

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

I don't even know how its possible other than my mother & her dang sabotaging massive amounts of butter :reddevil: in everything, but the scale certainly went up this morning. Like 3 frickin pounds. :banghead:

Just got to get back in the game plan & lose those 3 again.
 
I am so glad I am in this challenge to keep my butt focused!

Today is going good & I dropped a pound last night, so hopefully some of its water weight... that sodium in that chex mix wasn't helping matters! Good thing I shared it so its gone now. Made people smile & I didn't have the chance to finish it off myself! I do miss it though.. what is with that stuff? Its like crack...just need it sometimes when you smell it. Ah well the addiction is broken & time to get on the good stuff.

Had pizza with the man last night & was really shocked to see I didn't do too badly. Had the crunchy thin crust with green peppers. So good but was much better than I thought it was going to be calorie wise. Not that I will be eating it every night or anything! Still its nice to have a healthier option when the man wants something greasy & delivered.

I miss being off work already. Its going to be a pain to fit in anything physical today. Working all day, then a board meeting & some friends want me to go to their place afterward to hang out & help decorate their tree. I have really been a deadbeat friend lately since I don't go out drinking anymore so I kinda feel like I need to go spend some time with them & heck I want to ... but I know I NEED to workout too.. ug decisions. Wish it was safe enough to walk to their house from mine. That would work... but alas I would rather not be shot or mugged & the area I would need to go through has a really bad reputation lately for both happening. Stupid.

& its RAINING!!! Which is so nice for a change.
Oh well. Maybe I can get in some treadmill time at some point before I get some sleep.
 
ah sometimes spending time with friends is good for your soul and laughter does burn some calories :)

Just do some Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree :)
 
Hey Moon. I hear what you are saying about "being the deadbeat friend" because you keep declining your other friend's invitations to come out and drink. I am in the same boat. I haven't been out in awhile, and feel semi-gulity about it. They all know what i am trying to do tho and should understand that binge drinking doesn't really fit into the equation. It's still hard. I have a few friends who I am sure have me on their shit lists but, whatever. I'm not saying I won't ever go out and drink again but, for now I have enough crazy stories and good times that involve alcohol....

Keep up the good work. Don't sweat the Thanksgiving lbs. I'm about to kick it back into hi gear for Christmas and New Years. You can too.

Ok so I went to the friend's place instead of the treadmill last night... which means I need to make up the time today. No problem there. My boss has me so pissed I would LOVE a bit of tread time right now. I can't wait to burn off some of this heat. Ug.. but anyway... I ended up being very good at the party since I passed on the beer & cider, didn't drink anything & just had one sugar cookie that the hostess popped in my mouth when I had two dogs on my lap! Sucker punch! Like I was able to say no... the rest of the food was bacon or sausage loaded & since I don't eat pork (just a personal preference, not passing judgment) I wasn't even tempted. They apologized saying they weren't thinking about it, but I thanked them saying it was perfect since I wasn't tempted! Things work out.

..now off to dream over wanted ads...
 
a little sugar cookie never killed anyone :)

I wish I could pass up sausage and bacon... properly cooked bacon is such an Achilles heel for me... :D mmmm bacon...

well done :D
 
I was pretty happy... but what sucks is the cookie didn't even taste that good. It was all dark green & you could kinda taste the food coloring & greasy fat more than that good sweet sugar cookie taste. Don't you hate it when you splurge & it just isn't worth it after all? Oh well.
 
ayup - if i'm gonna splurge it better be worth the calories :)

Now the pumpkin cheesecake I made for thanksgiving - with the pecan praline crust - was totally worth the splurge :)

Unless the sugar cookie is really good - eh - not so much :(

but it's a positive moment that you're able to taste the food and realize it - and not just eat them because they're there...
 
Pumpkin cheesecake with the pecan praline crust!!!! That sounds like a very worthwhile treat to me. mmmmmm. cheesecake.

At least you now realize that the cheat wasn't worth it, and you can take that away from the whole experience. I know I have done the exact same thing before.

This past Thanksgiving, the most sinful, delicious, worthwhile food I consumed was this Macaroni and cheese that was made with like 5 or 6 different cheeses. Oh my god, it was to die for. It's now a fond memory I think of at least 3 times a day, lol.

Sorry your boss is being an asshole. Mine pissed me off today too. He is pretty much worthless imo. He works in a different state than I do and that makes it all the more frustrating. I told him this year that if I am going to be working Christmas and New Year's Days (like I always do, and have for the past 4 years) that I want some compensation (i.e. holiday pay, or comp time). I even asked about the possibility of them hiring someone else on to help dissapate all the extra hours that I have to work, etc. I keep getting the same answer, same bag of bullshit. They say there is a hiring freeze and there is nothing they can do, etc.... yada yada yada. It's like a ridiculous dance I have to do, and I always end up in the same spot. I can't wait until I am a nurse and work in a career field I want to actually work in. For now this job pays my bills, etc. and I can't afford to leave right yet. My boss will probably change in a year anyways (like it always does), so perhaps I will ask again then, lol :rolleyes:

Sorry to hijack your diary for my rant. I just want to let you know that you aren't alone.

Your doing a gr8 job MOON and :cuss: too the BOSS!!Tammy:seeya:
 
ok I don't know about my discipline.

My calories have been way up lately. I know its the stress from trying to figure out what to do with my life & my bills.... I want to quit my job, but can't afford to take a pay cut or lose insurance at the moment. & really I just want a boss that isn't so condescending or manipulative. Seriously she is insane. I wouldn't mind if she did her job, but she just talks shit about other employees & doesn't keep it work focused either. I have been trying to figure out how to deal & it isn't working.... which leads me to eat high cal stuff like lots of chinese food & take out way more than I want to because I don't feel like cooking when I get home.

ug... 'tis the season.
 
Hey Moon! Sorry to hear you boss is such a loser. That must be really tough. Can you wear earphones at work? lol JK

I hope the season gets better for you, there is still time!!!

mmm chinese food, me so hungry
