Lol if you had fun that is what counts.....I can't have too much fun since my little ones will be up at like 6-7 am the next morning and I gotta be able to be around food to cook breakfast lol!

My week is going ok, just not in the food department, it seems I have lots to do and not enought time to do it, so I haven't planned my meal all that well I am hoping not to have gained anything by the end of this week!
 
August 5 2010!!!

Good Morning!!! Wow tommorow is my last day here....I think I am getting a bit emotional lol! I still have not hit me that next monday I am not gonna be here and this time is not like when I left for Mat leave , I never knew a 100% that I was comming back, I was always thinking if something comes along then I will take it if not I have this place to come back to, you know a back up plan,,,,this time around there are not back up! The first 3 months will be stressful cause I really gotta learn every thing and I am hoping my kids don't come down with anything cause I can't miss work....and I am hoping my new state of mind stays cause I don't want to feel depressed anymore. I know I can do the job I have done customer service before but still those first 3 month of probabtion is a bit stressful but I know I can do it! Yesterday I ended up having a greek salad with chicken for lunch I found the nutrional value and it was worth 7pts and then diner I had chicken with a cup of white rice about 5 pts so I was at about 18 pts and then decided to have a grilled cheese sandwich I still had 5 pts left but really I could have used better judgment and eaten something healthier with less fat in it! At least I stayed with in my points but next time gotta make a better choice!

Breakfast
bagel 6pts
coffee 2pts

Lunch
going to Lone Start Texas Grill with my co workers to celebrate my new job!!! Grateful the boss is on holiday we can actually have a great time!

Diner
I will have to stick to tuna salad today I think cause Lunch will probably take most of my pts!

I will update later I will go check out the menu before I actually go in order to choose something that won't be too bad!

I am hoping people will notice but I am hoping more that I learn to accept my body strech mark and c section scare and all, if people treat me better cool but if not at least I am treating myself better.

YES!!! That's what I like to hear!

When you love yourself and take care of yourself and your body it shows in the way you carry yourself and the confidence you have in your day to day life. You're an amazing woman and the way you are taking care of yourself now is nothing short of awesome! Keep loving you! That's what will get you to your goals and beyond!
 
Hey lady! I REALLY hope your weekend before you start the new job is just an amazing one. I get to work allllll weekend long,so there won't be any enjoyment on my part. You gotta do it for me :D

I have been absent from the site for a few days now and I got a say that I went off the wagon big time. Last thursday was the faitas lunch and then I can't remember what I ate for diner Friday was very emotional for me leaving the people behind not the boss or job.....I had promised myself no crying but I started the min I said goodbye to the first person...and just thinking about wow eyes get all watery....Weekend I spent on my own with the kids I just did my regular house work and tried to get the kids out of the house a little with out going to far cause I just wanted to rest up before today. I have been eating really bad stuff non stop until about 10 min ago when I told myself to get my butt in gear and log on to here so that I stop eating, I am not even hungry....my safetynet is gone and I feel really alone...my new co workers are great bunch they made me feel very welcom and they already invited me to join them on a few activity they are gonna be doing for the festival the company is throwing...of course the hubby willl refuse staying home with the kids so I will not get to go but it's nice that they want to includ me,The day went well very fast and I have so much to learn but I am very confident that I will learn and be able to do the job well! Tommorow I am back on the wagon....well I am back right now but the day is over so I am really back tommorow...hopefully the cheese snacking thing at work is not everyday....that is gonna be the downside of working for a cheese factory,,,,the free cheese! I am back I am gonna try to work out some of the crap I ate and then I am off to bed to watch a Buffy DVD!!! then sleep time!
 
If you're back on the wagon NOW, you can forgive yourself the past few days. Just walk a little faster tomorrow (or tonight, whatevv :) ) and get those extra cals burned off. I had a few bad days also, but I'm back and on top, and feeling pretty good. You can do it lady! :)
 
OMG! I have missed so much! Congrats on the new job! This is so exciting! I haven't been here since my surgery and when I saw your diary I was like on man! I'm so jealous that I couldn't be apart of your anticipation and excitement! Oh, I'm so happy for you![/COLOR]

I know you aren't worried about falling off? Well, of course we all worry, but you do so well at getting back on the wagon. You have had alot of excitement going on, and starting your new job; still can't believe I've been stagnant for 3 weeks and missed that, you are what? 21 pounds down? You should stand in the mirror and admire your hard work. That is motivating enough to get back on board. Lots of Love!!!!

Don't worry about a few days of eating bad. In the long run, that just means a few days (or a week or two, if you gained) more until you reach your goal. It's a bummer, but it's not the end of the world. In any case, it's too late now to do anything about it, so just give yourself a good shake, promise not to do it again, and get back to it.
 
The important thing is that you've not thrown all your good work out the window by letting the little setback derail you completely. You're here and that's important. :)

Oh and kudos for being a Buffy fan! I have all seven seasons on DVD and LOVE EM!! :D
 
Just jump right back into it! You can do it!! Everyone is entitled to a few "off" days once and awhile :) Just as long as you get back on track!!

Hello forum friends

I miss being on here everyday!!!!! but I just bought a note book so that I can start tracking my pts again and it will be easier for me to update on here in the evening....cause I don't know that I will be able to log in during the day from my new job I am so busy (not complaining I am loving it) and on my 30 min break I just go sit outside the girls!!! Enjoy the sun and no phones lol!
I am really feeling like a part of the group and once I get a regular desk and my very own pc then I will feel even more at home I will be able to store away some healthy snacks. One of my new co worker is actually at the weight watcher meeting tonight so I will have a buddy ( I feel that I have a few on here but having someone at work will help keep my butt on the wagon when I can't be online lol)!! In the winter if I can make arangement with my mother in law for thurday night I may start going to the meetings again I will have a buddy this time!!!! My emotional health is doing much better already.....I don't feel exausted and I have no problem getting out of bed ...in fact I usually wake up before the alarm goes off and if my kids can stop waking up at the same time as me mabe I will get a work out in lol!


I made the best diner ever tonight

I started with a bit of olive oil...and I cooked a Jalepeno and a small oignion, in a woke for about 5 min then I took them out leaving the juices behind I cooked 3 chicken breast so about 12 oz of chicken in there ...once the chicken was no longer pink I put the oignion and jalepeno in there along with a red pepper and a bit of chilli powder a touch of salt and pepper....when it was fully cooked I add a can of corn and one of black beans .....Yummy I haven't figured out the point value but no fat was added so it can't be too hight it had just the right amount of hot in it lol!! I loved it so much that I had to share it with you!!! Once I settle into my new routine I will log on here everyday!
 
I'm so glad you're loving the new job! :D And yeah, keeping a notebook helps a lot.

Thanks for sharing the recipe! It sounds like you like it HOT like me! lol It sounds awesome, I'll have to try it! :)

I am new and you seem really in the loop on here so I thought you maybe able to help! Has anyone here heard about a company called whey gourmet with a contest for a $50,000 prize for the biggest body transformation? If you go to their website you get a tons of free samples but they told me to stay tuned for contest details? Does anyone in your circle know about this? If I'm going to suffer loosing it (lol) I might as well try for some cash! The shakes taste awesome.

Hi I can't say that I have heard of such a company, but I am not really into protein shakes myself I love eating too much!!! Good Luck on your Journey!!!

Oh my gosh, I feel the same way! I lovelovelove this website, it keeps me on track better than writing stuff down(tho I still do that, I've got this great app on my phone where I type in EVERY calorie I stick in my mouth, lol), but it's really terrific to have someone that you talk about stuff with. I have a coworker who has just started doing cal counting and going to the gym, and I feel like we've both become just a tad obsessed with passing information back and forth, hahaaa!
Glad you're liking your new job, have a super day tomorrow!
