So the 20 day streak comes to an end. I ate like crap yesterday, between football and a party we had for my daughter, just overwhelmed by gremlins. Time to reset the streak counter and crank it up again!0 -
Me too. I ate so badly all weekend that I have a 2 day streak of no points for me, and all of them for the gremlins. I ate like I just got rescued from a lifeboat that had been drifting at sea for a month and was dropped off at an all you can eat buffet. And I knew I was being "bad" and didn't even care. It was truly the lowest point and most miserable state of mind since I started this journey. Today is a beautiful day. Not hot or humid. It feels like fall. Anyway, after I drop my nephew off at his friend's I am going for a serious walk. He is off for the Jewish holidays so between last week, this week and next week he only has 3 day school weeks for the first 3 weeks of school. He thinks this should be the way it is always. Kids.0

LOL - yea, I felt guilty enough yesterday afternoon that I went to a local park and did a 3.5 mile hike on one of the trails around the lake. It was a perfect day for it, but still barely put a dent in the bad choices I'd made.0 -
The horror continued today. At least the crap is out of the house. It's in my tummy but at least it's finished. It proves what I have always feared. I have no self control if I know stuff is there. I can not let this stuff back in the house. It's just not worth the risk. I have learned my lesson finally. I am a crappy food addict. Just as I would not have booze in the house if I were a recovering alcoholic I can't have certain foods in the house, period. Single serve possibly but not whole containers. And I am likely better off not doing that. Tomorrow is another day and I don't feel so good eating as much as I did. Lesson learned all right.

New streak under way. We had a baby shower for my eldest daughter on Sunday, so there is all kinds of leftover goodies around calling my name. I resisted last night by just building in a dessert of a couple of cookies and stayed under goal. May the force be with me this week, we're in for a bumpy ride!0 -
Do you have more festive occasions this week, BRaye? This is what I hate about hosting stuff at home, all those delicious leftovers that cannot go to waste! But heaven help us from letting them go to WAIST!0

No, but I do have an 18 yr old son at home, so he is kind of like a 'festive occasion' on his own!0 -

For some reason, they got me last night. Dealing with some stress and I guess I just caved. My bike ride got rained out and then we had pizza for dinner, just couldn't seem to stop myself. I felt like crap all night. Reboot today and start fresh.0 -
We're doing great !0

Because this is what I did. I did not go grocery shopping as intended. Nope. I instead had dinner with the nephew. Why, on God's green earth, and by all the is holy, did I say "Sure, I'll have a personal sized pizza?" Why? Because I am an idiot. I let myself get hungry, then hangry and I ate like a fool. I am really losing my grip! Thank heavens I am alone most of tomorrow and can go to the store, get some fruit and stuff and quietly eat like the sane person I proport, on these very pages, to be. The less time I spend away from home the better off I am. It's as simple as that. Now I am mad. Does being pissed off burn extra calories?0 -

I wish it did. My weekend has been awful. I'm dealing with 3 different plumbing issues and then yesterday my son hit a fire hydrant with my wife's car. So instead of going to the zoo with my grandsons today. I'm working on a water heater and a washing machine. Then figure out how to get the car in for repair.
