Uh oh Paula. Bagels are yummy. I buy the mini ones when I must.
152 this morning. Down a pound from last week. I did have cake, but kept in my calories today!

Ah they got me! Dang yummy bagels. Up 1.5# @ 162. :sad:0

Graham crackers got me today. But I still was under. Barely, but I am good with that!0

Man, are my ears burning!! Mine downfall is peppermint...as you know. But I'm down to 137.2 this morning. I walked, biked, and did the gym w/our trainer it today. Friday will be the tell... I am dreading lunch w/friends Saturday, though. Must get some stuff wrapped so I can take it to lunch!!!

Paula I feel your pain. I'm not doing too well right now with food. Going to tennis practice tonight and will work on my food issues.0

All the unreal pounds are back. :sad: 163# - that's when the clothes get tight. :noway: Okay KCM - need you!
Chris, this must be an awful time for you. So many nasty little red-and-white striped sticks everywhere.

The striped goodies are everywhere!! I just have to keep the exercise going...
Still thinking about wrapping Christmas gifts...
I have a feeling my weight is going to be up tomorrow morning...

Chris I do not see them here. You would be safer if you came for a long visit.
You are doing great still though. 
Kathy step back whenever you see those nasties. Think about your goals. Turn and run. My hubby is my downfall. He brings home candy, chocolates. He is killing me! Stay busy, we can do this.
Well still down from last Friday, not much. 151.4. It is because I could not leave the junk my DH brought home alone! Argh!
Paula I am right there also. Where the clothes start getting snug!
Let's behave and workout harder!

TODAY IS A BRAND NEW DAY!
Shelley you are so right...I'm up 2.0 from last Friday. UGH!!!! I did it myself...no one to blame here except me.
Today is my REST DAY, but I may not rest the entire day...we'll see how I'm feeling after a Friday in 1st grade!!
Back later my friends...BE STRONG TODAY!!

My darling girlfriends,
This is hitting so close to home!!!!! Was in the store and all these justifications for cashews kept running through my head "C'mon just a small bag won't hurt" "You don't need to do this, y'know" "Just get some already" I may have even thought "You don't have to tell anyone about it" but if I did, I've forgotten.
I got out of the store without buying any. The fact that my demon is trying so hard to get me to eat it proves that I need to stay away from it. Otherwise it will be controlling me. It is such a head start to have not had any for (a week now?) awhile.
Today is a brand new day, Chris. But thanks, to you I don't need to start over.
Thank you all so much for being here for me!! All my love and appreciation! paula 0 -
Paula, my friend, I was at the same train wreck you were at this week...just replace cashews with peppermint. The bag has been in my trunk since Thursday. I need a far away trash can for it.
I am so glad you guys are here, too. I would be a fat mess if you weren't. I need the support.
I have the gym w/DDD this morning, lunch with two friends then walking w/DH if it's nice outside and then getting on the bike. It'll probably be dark, cold and rainy by the time I'm done, but I'll get it done!
I'll be back later on. Have a great Saturday!!

I am totally proud of myself!! I didn't eat the dessert at lunch. I had one bite...too sweet (which helped) and I pushed it away.
I got the gym done, got the bike done, and got the walking done! It's been a good Saturday!

Good job, Chris! I am doing pretty well, mostly because there's nothing to eat in the house. :ohwell:0

Good job, Chris! I am doing pretty well, mostly because there's nothing to eat in the house. :ohwell:
Muahaha, now that helps. Good job on not buying any more!
And Chris I wish I could get rid of that bag for you. I would!
Today I was happy that the scale went down. But I caught myself eating 3 pieces of fudge! There, I was actually hungry. So I had some toast and was done!
Shelley0 -
Thanks, Shelley. I know you would!!
I was down this morning too! Not to my most recent lowest weight but getting there. We had lunch with the kids today. I had Corn Chowder (only ate half of it) and a piece of sour dough toast!! Then we went to the bookstore...fun!
Chris0 -
Eating half meals is awesome Chris. They always give us enough for two!
I was up! Today I did better.
Shelley0 -
I hit 166 on Saturday and didn't even log my food on Sunday - it was so hopeless. I'm hoping some of them are not real pounds and will disappear as easily as they appeared. It would be worse if I was eating cashews too. Thank goodness for small miracles.
Chris, you're inspiring me. Half meals it is! (How many do we get. :laugh: )
Luv you guys,
Paula0 -
Strive for progress, not perfection.
Paula it is not hopeless. Honest. We've all been there. You have to keep trying. And you know the scale does just exactly what it wants to do when it wants to do it. I know mine does!! Were you exercising like a maniac this weekend?
I do not recommend eating half of a bowl of corn chowder...but you can't eat the whole thing...too expensive calorie-wise. I was so hungry by dinner time, I was almost crazy! I managed, but I'll have eggs next time we eat there.
I was the same weight as yesterday, but I weighed earlier. Got my fingers crossed for tomorrow. Walked w/DH and Bean this morning...sooooo cold!!...(total miles - 6.67 for 14,567 steps) then got on the recumbent for 12.78 miles in 45 mins then went to 1st grade then went shopping. I didn't get a DVD done today. Tomorrow should be better.
Chris0 -
I'm trying to think of something witty and amusing but got nothing. Kind of like my working out during the week. Can't wait for the sun to return!!!!
Chris, Good job!!!! Fingers crossed!
Paula0 -
I was down from yesterday. Which puts me back closer to my goal for this month!
Chris great going.
Paula find your spark again soon. We all have to search for it at times.
Shelley0 -
Paula, I miss the warm sun so much. We had sunshine today but I didn't even warm up until we were a quarter mile form home. I am a Summer Girl!!!
Shelley, CONGRATULATIONS!! Good job!
My weight was the same for the fourth straight day. Today hasn't been the best, but I worked out hard.
Chris0 -
Went bike riding yesterday. My boss has cracked down and told us not to combine breaks with lunch, so only a half hour now.
Got the wished-for sun, Chris, but did you know it can still be frigid? Brrrr.... It was 32 degrees yesterday. Yep, it's freezing! Brrrrr... Does it get white and frosty where you live? It's our winter wonderland.
Shelley, Good job on your downward trend! Sounds like you've got your mojo back. :bigsmile:
I think of you guys every time cashews call me. (It sounds like Snoopy's supper dish.) Then Chris and Shelley on my shoulder say, you can do it Paula. And it's probably a couple of pounds that did not get added.
Kathy, Hope your having fun!
Take care!
Paula0 -
Chris being the same is better by far than having more. Stayed home today with my mom. Today my weight was down. Not sure how it will do with me being home though. Harder.
Paula that is not your imagination, Chris and I are really sitting there saying no, Don't do it. Muahaha
Shelley0 -
Yeah, Paula...what Shelley said!!!!
Chris0 -
Walked w/DH and Bean early this morning (6.09 total miles for 13,298 steps) then got on the recumbent for 12.41 miles in 45 mins and an excellent episode of Grimm! Then worked out to KCM's Muscle Up #2 then...nothing!! Played w/Bean and just chilled! Well, I did wrap 28 books for our DDD's first graders. We give all her kids a book for Christmas. It was a good Thursday!
I didn't make it to the store or to the post office today. I will be doing both of those things tomorrow morning.
My weight was up .4 this morning...I'm hoping it was because we worked out at the gym yesterday. Tomorrow is my weigh in. Got my fingers crossed. My eating was good today.
Paula, Shelley and I are doing little shoulder happy dances because you are cashew-free today!! ...right???
Chris0 -
Eating was good yesterday and today. Got all my exercising done really early today...been reading in front of the fire! A fine Monday. DDD and I meet w/our trainer at 8:15 tomorrow morning. Don't know what will follow.

Good morning ladies. Sorry for being MIA but my mom has been sick this week...either stomach flu or food poisoning...doctors are not sure. It really hit her hard. She has been in bed for 3 days.
So now Christmas Eve & day are my sister's and my responsibility. I'm running around like crazy trying to get things done. Finished decorating yesterday and Ron and I had our Christmas last night as he leaves for home in the morning.
The scale is ugly 204.4 this morning. I'm just trying to hang in and maintain. The good news after tomorrow I'm off until Jan 5th. The week after Christmas will be my time to get refocused.
You all are doing great...proud of you.
Kathy0 -
Kathy that is awful! Either way it is debilitating. I sure hope she feels better soon.
Shelley0 -
I hope your mom is better soon, Kathy.
