Newbie, looking for a New Me

Kristi - thanks for the lift. I did do much better today than yesterday. Just got back from a walk.

Breakfast we my oatmeal, lunch was cottage cheese, radishes, cherries and 1/2 of a bagel.

Dinner was pasta, and a dove bar.

I took a good walk tonight after I washed the car, so my exercise was where it needed to be.

Tomorrow is ticker WI day, I'll probably be up a little, but I hope it's just a little.
 
Hi BDM!

I've had that happen to me before too, it's like once the first bite of the bad stuff is taken there is no stopping!

Don't worry too much about it, think about it this way-you did all that exercise so the effects of the naughty foods have been negated!

Glad to see you're back on track!
 
Hi All,

It's been a long weekend. Eating has been so-so.

Today, I ate emotionally and I knew exactly what I was doing. Tomorrow I need to get back on the stick.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Since Thursday I have been camping and was at a car show all day today so I will be back on track tomarrow as well!
 
Emotional eating - i think most of us here can emphasize with that. I hope you feel better and don't worry, you'll be back on today. New week, new start.
 
Hi BDM!

I hope everything is going ok. Any improvement over the previous day is a huge one! You'll be back in the swing of things in no time. I'm sorry things seem to be tough for you right now but have no fear. You'll get through anything, I know it!

~sending good vibes~

<3 Dawn
 
Limited - any improvement is good, but today, was definitely not an improvement. Tomorrow will be though.

Dawn - things are going better, DH and I had a chance to talk, so things are looking very up.

Tomorrow I begin......again. I don't think I will be eating out of nervousness or frustration or anger or anything, so that will really help.

Today we will just forget about.
 
I'm glad to hear things are looking up for you! A few bad days is just that, and its the right attitude to toss them away. They are no big deal and it'll take a lot more than that to undo all the good you've done!

I hope that things continue on the upward trend! Have a great day today. :)
 
yesterday was good food wise and I did get to the gym. Heavy WO day. Felt great. Ran like a chicken with my head cut off. Never got to the computer.

ok, damage for the week up 2.4. That's ok, it could be worse. just have to get it back off again.
 
So glad to hear you had a great work out day! And def don't sweat the weigh-in. You'll have those pounds off in no time. :)
 
Thanks Dawn.

Sorry to be MIA for so long. We've been working on our patio project and I haven't looked at the computer in a few days. Just crash in front of the olympics for about an hour each night.

Eating has been so-so. We will see what Friday brings.

Have a great one all.
 
I've been wondering where you were!

Keep us posted with your progress. I hope everything in RL has been going well. <3
 
Hi Guys,

This patio project and DD's band stuff has kept me moving. That does not include work and regular household chores as well.

Haven't been to the gym since last Thurs, but I've walked 3 different times and shoveled enough sand and gravel to make up.

We have had 12.5 tons of gravel delivered and I've shoveled a good portion of that. We also had 3 tons of sand delivered and I've moved about 1/2 of that.

My right back by my wing bone kills. I told DH, no gravel or sand for me. I need to heal.

The good news is, the patio is about 1/3 of the way complete. We are laying the pavers. Some still need cut as DH designed a curved space. We have to do the sidewalk to the steps (our yard is terraced). I found a fire pit yesterday, hard to do in August.

Hopefully we will be able to sit out there on Sat for my DD's BD party. That's the goal anyway.

Today DS and I are going to Kennywood (amusement park) We will have fun and then watch DD march in the parade with the HS band.

Never a dull moment and computer time has gotten lost in the shuffle.

Eating has been up and down, but getting better.

Today I clean before we go. I also made bread and I'm on my second load of laundry.

Have a great day all and I'll be back and better than ever.
 
Hi Danny, good to see you.

Wow this patio project is really keeping me busy. I haven't had time to do much of anything else. Haven't been to the gym in close to 2 weeks.

Bed time, so I can get up and do it again.
 
Wow, i've missed a couple of days again. Things should simmer down next week when my DD is back in school and my DS heads back to college.

The patio project, other than the landscaping is nearly done. That will be a huge relief.

Yesterday was DD's BD. We are having the family party on Sat, but we did a little celebration with just the 4 of us last night. She wanted Wii Fit, which I was finally lucky enough to find, just in the nick of time. That thing is awesome. I plan to use it on my off gym days. I think it will be a great motivator.

My eating has been horrible and it shows. Today I begin again.

The thing is, it's now public. You weigh in on the Wii. It shows your BMI, it can show your weight as well. It also makes your Mii look like you, in my case that's plump. DD looks like a toothpick. The contrast is stark, consdiering she is almost exaclty my same height. Then you set a goal. I have a goal to be down 15 lbs in 3 months.

ok, gotta get off to work.
 
ok, so I was back to the gym today, lost a little at WI and the patio is finally done!

All we need to do is the landscaping. We even got to use the patio for DD's BD party on Sat. That was nice, it was beautiful out too.

I'll chat more later, off to yoga.
 
Hey bigdogmom, I was looking back over the freezer cooking thread and it reminded me I should come by and say hi. I've been hit and miss the last month too with moving. Gratz on finishing your patio, thats awesome that you'll get to enjoy it before the weather changes. Oh and I found those debbie meyer bags. I was getting some wireless light switches from an 'as seen on tv" site and those were there too. Haven't tired them yet but I'm sure with so many people here saying they work I'll have no problem. I'm excited that I won't have to be running to the grocery store for mini trips every 3 days and I can buy stuff I want without having to go "but what if we don't eat it". Anyway how's stuff on your end?
