    Well first day of the first week until Easter. We had dinner last night with friends and ended up
    eating Mexican so I was not surprised at the scale this morning. I will do better next week and am hopeful for a loss.
    My weigh in day will be Friday's.

    Good luck everyone!

    Had a good eating day today but no exercise :( had plenty of time to go out for a run but couldn't get my but off the sofa.
    This is my last post for this week as I'm going on a ski holiday early tomorrow so will get plenty of exercise while I'm away but will have little control over what is in my meals as we're staying in a catered chalet so will have to eat what's on offer, I'll just be happy if I don't put weight on.
    Hope you all have a good week and look forward to reading all your posts when I get back.
    Linda.

    Thank you CalieCat. It has taken me since my youngest was born to get this far though, due to stopping and starting all the time. He turns 4 in July so its taken a long time. This time I am very determined though and want to get this weight off!

    I think I am going to get the wii out later as I have a couple of work out games - I have the wii fit game and a biggest loser game which get me moving when I cant go out walking. A few months ago though I slipped off the wii fit board and tore the ligaments in my ankle and I hav'nt used the wii since :open_mouth: so I'll have to be careful so I don't slip off again!

    MummyKate85 - the Wii is great! I weight train 3x/week and didn't think the Wii would do a lot, but the tennis game really gives me a workout - no fit board needed. Good luck!
    I don't have a tennis game on mine, or at least I dont think I do? Is it on the wii fit game, or on the sports one? I might have to get the sports one if it is on there.

    I did get some walk in today. Did not get a motorize Chair to shopped in . then had to go to Walmart to pick up some medication so since I did so good at Kroger I would not get a motorize shopping cart at Walmart. made it just fine. tired but I made it. Would love to have my fitbit so I would know how many steps I took. I can do it.

    Just want to put out there that my new Fitbit is really useful! I've had and lost pedometers in the past as they just pop off your trousers. The Fitbit is so convenient you can forget you have it on. Personally I'm doing my 10 000 steps but I'm not eating the extra calories. If anyone is thinking of getting one I think they are worth the money. Walking 10 000 a day is totally 'doable'.

    And I managed to get out and ride my horse today for over an hour. A rare blue sky jan morning- good exercise and good for the soul!

    Hope you all are having a good diet day too.

    Hi! Yes, it's on Wii Sports. It also has bowling and some other things. They all give you a great workout. Good luck!

    :D On Fridays I teach a line dance class in the morning and come home at lunch time starving. Today I fixed Morningstar Farms basil pizza burgers with a frozen vegetable and sliced tomatoes....it was easy to fix, a good balance of protein and carbs, and not too many calories.

    :D Sunnyfarm, getting past a sweet craving takes some time....a first I had to drink a lot of water and then just get out of the kitchen. The longer I stay away from sweet and salty snacks, the less I crave them. Many people have a piece of fruit for dessert after a meal as a sweet finish.

    :D Marie that's great that you went shopping without the motorized cart.

    I have to agree with Marie, Sunny...I don't crave sweets either.
    We are eating 1 carb, 1 protein, and 1 fat for each meal (5). Whatever you choose to eat that is sweet, would be your 1 carb that meal.

    When I crave sweets I eat one piece of candy or chew gum and drink lots and lots of water. It helps sooth the craving.
