Good morning... not much to say this morning...

I know I need to cut down or out my drinkin... just can't give up both of my "feel good" things all at once... I wonder if there are any good low calorie wines out there that are any good?

Feel kinda poopy... Am soooo sick of these gray cold dismal mornings! Where is summer???

with pita crisp - 400

??? If I don't write it maybe it won't count ??? Blech!

Hello all... Kinda feeling sluggish this morn... Don't have a clue about the calorie content of my dinner last night... It was late, I hadn't eaten since my mid-morning soup, My bf said he would make something, but it probably wouldn't be on my diet, and I was tired and didn't care... So I ate it... and it was GOOD... so I am sure it had a bazillion calories.... *sigh* But i haven't splurged in over a week so I refuse to beat myself up about it... I will take my new purple ipod and go for a good walk this afternoon...

Have an excellent day Forum Friends!

Mood... not too good...

I know I haven't been too awfully great on my calorie intake, but it is still under my limit.. only a couple hundred higher than it should be... BUT... why have I gained 4+ lbs in 3 days? Maybe my batteries are low and my wii is crazy and I am reading it wrong... *sigh* I am sure it is just a water thing, and it will all be ok soon...

My walk yesterday was nice.. and my ipod totally helped me step it up and not loiter about like I sometimes do...
Look forward to doing it again today...

Have a Calafragalistic Day Forum Friends!

Well... I changed the batteries and that didn't fix it, so I guess I am just gonna have to get tougher on myself... Boo!

As long you're under the limit I'm sure you're doing fine! And about your sudden weight gain, remember that sometimes it's just your body storing some water. No big deal. Good luck! :)
 
Thanks Melissa! :)

I am sure it is water... I know it... but when the scale controls all emotion... Ha ha! I go :willy_nilly: for a while after I see it regardless of the whys... It DID however, inspire me to go on my walk yesterday, even tho I was pouting and didn't feel like it...

Dropped a tad over the last couple days... not enough to get excited about, but at least the graph is going in the right direction... that thing has looked like a pinball machine lately...

Didn't walk yesterday as I was making a pen for my new rescue adoption... A cute baby pygmy goat! It was hot and I definitely broke a sweat doing that! Going to finish it today and then mow...

Good morning! Gotta jet... goin to the city, and its gonna be HOT! Good mood via my scales are back where my ticker is... *phew* The walking and sweating is helping...
Have a Grrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeat Monday! (even tho it's Monday...) :)
 
Well... fell back for a couple days... I lost my beloved dog of 14+ years... my heart is broken, and I just can't worry about my calories and things like that for a bit.. solace in wine and spaghetti... every time I get back on track life throws me an emotional screwball that sends me reeling and it takes longer to recover each time...letting him go is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do... I will get back on it, but I have to piece myself back together before I can become positive about anything else again~ Hug your pets today Forum Friends, and tell them how much you love them...
 
Well.. kind of in a stall.... Wii has a straight flat line ---------------- which means... I haven't lost a dern thing.... BUT... I haven't gained any either.... so, lose 10... maintain for a while, and really go after it again might be the trick for ms. yoyo over here.. and to be honest, I haven't been trying to hard... But as much as I am stuck in front of my computer, I will take all I can get... Been researching learning how to start my OWN business.. screw working for other people who just end up not listening to you, blaming you, then screwing YOU! Not doin it anymore! All those years of sacrifice... commitment.. loyalty.... I am going to sacrifice, commit and be loyal to myself from now on! end rant.. lol!

Have an amazing day Forum Friends!
 
Hello forum friends... long time no post.. got a little off track due to a lot of things, but didn't gain much back and am now taking more off... was stuck at 232, but I really changed things up 3 weeks ago and have taken off about 6 lbs since... I was awake at like 2 in the morning last night, and I thought... Why the hell haven't I been posting since re-committing (ya ya ya... ok re-committing for the 100th time!:ack2:) Anyway....

Looong night... so much on my mind, and now cutting out a lot of the booze and sick of relying on sleeping pills.... aaach! The scanner was sure entertaining though.. off the hook! You would have thought it was a full moon or something!

Dinner was at 6:30, so by 2am I am dying freaking out hungry... Thank goodness for Laughing Cow light! Those little triangles have kept me sane over the last few weeks, thats for sure! Only had 1 of the blue cheese ones, so feel good about exerting a modicum of will power...

Coffee and soy milk only so far... sooo tired!
But craving totally craving Banh Mi at this moment :drool5: good thing there is nowhere within 100 miles that makes it... Making some weekly staple foods today... pot of vegie vegie soup and a batch of tabbouleh... good, good for ya, and cheap...

Raining and icky today so maybe I will try that Yoga dvd I have been avoiding...

Have a great day forum friends!

Good Morning Forum Friends..

Had some not so good things yesterday for early heart day treat... not horrible, but not great... At least I was active too, so not gonna worry about it too much... Was good, and I needed a respite from calorie counting.. this last 6 lbs took a long time... Back on the program today..

Happy Heart Day!

Been ICKY the last couple days... Worked really late the other night with only some veggie soup & tabbouleh... On the way home we pass Angelina's.. one of the BEST pizza places around.. been doing well and damn it, I deserve a treat... got Margherita pizza.. a small one.. NOT the meat covered thing my guy gets... had a bit.. blah blah blah and went to bed.. OH LORDY! Have not eaten anything made with white flour in a long time and boy did I pay! Gas bubble central had me cryin' at 5 in the morning... you know.. the kind where you can't move, walk, turn... WHAT? I was good... just a had a little... I deserved it... WHATTHEHELL! Took me 2 days to get over it.. SHEESH! Soooo.. Back to the vegetable soupie!

Gads! Be careful out there forum friends!
 
Thanks Tally! Better now... but funny how it prolly won't stop me from doing the same thing again at some point... *sigh* What's a carb addict to do?

So... flat-lined at 223.. but as long as my Wii graph doesn't start to head North, I'm ok... Just want it to quit saying "that's obese" in that cutsie voice when I weigh in... (I think I've mentioned this before..) I'm still like "I know you b*%#^! I am very aware!!! Give me some credit for being in the middle of that section instead of at the top, OK?!?!"

Just want to get out of there and into the overweight section before this summer... Like they say on Biggest Loser... want to get to Onederland!

Yesterday's intake...
1 cup oatmeal-170
1/4 cup soy milk-30
1 tsp br sugar-20
1.5 cup curry split pea soup-240
Laughing cow wedge-35
Thai food-
1 pc chix-270
1/2 cup pad thai-300
Green papaya salad-100
=1165

and walked 2 miles on the beach with my silly pygmy goat who kept trying to butt me in the behind.. Pest!

Have a wonderful day Forum Friends!

I finally gave up my favorite fast food restaurant and moved to another one just recently. It had made me sick numerous times and they got my order wrong a lot LOL but then they raised their prices by quite a bit and THEN i was done lol so I know how it goes.

Food looks awesome and I love pygmy goats!! I've only seen them at petting zoo's. Do you have a leash or does it just follow you?
 
Hi Tally! Which places get to you the most? I try to divert to Subway as much as possible... I really like Taco Time Veggie Burritos (besides, they sound like the "healthy choice, right? Mmmm... not so much I found out... Waaah!) There is a Burger joint about 10 miles away called Dairy Maid that I can't resist from time to time.. Live in a small town, so not as many Fast Foods as the city...

Those cravings are sooo hard to control, especially when every other ad on tv is for hamburgers, followed by one for something like hydroxycut or slimfast, followed by pizza.. For Pete's sake... enough already! I just saw one earlier today by General Mills saying how great Lucky Charms and Trix are for your kids... so packed with nutrition... WHAT? Really?!?!

The silly goat is really cool.. I take him on a leash, and then let him off and he runs around, but follows pretty close... He thinks he's a dog!

So I have been off a couple days.. Been working a lot, but thats ok....
no gain.. no loss.. flatlined.. Not complaining, though... Looking at a whole week of rainstorms and wind so no more walks on the beach for a while...

Yesterday's Intake
2 cups veggie veggie soup-250
1 tbsp sunflower seeds-100
1 cup rice-200
1 cup black beans-250
10 olives-50 (without the martini...)
2 wedges Laughing Cow-70
3 glasses wine-255 (wanted more!!!)
=1175

Have a safe Sunday Forum Friends!
