how do I feel about my day? Well I've been stuck but I haven't been doing much about it. Got lazy after the babies birthday but seeing some yo yo-ing got me back on track. I promise to be better about posting! I want to get to my goals, I can't do that by just concentrating on food. My body LIKES to drop weight with the activity. Today was such a busy day and I'm mentally exhausted. I'm sure I've mentioned I'm a substance abuse therapist at a detox for kids. Sometimes the work can just drain you brain! Today was one of those days. I feel like I can't catch up! I will though, but it'll be tough with a 1/2 day tm. Hoping I can get everything done that I need to.0 -

how do I feel about my day? Well today is my bestie's 30th birthday and she is up from CT for a party!! All the babies got to be together and it was so much fun!!! Aside from my friend's daughter trying to choke out mine a couple times and being rough (they are both 1 and really don't know better) it was busy with 4 babies! Had some awesome Kibe for dinner that my bestie's dad made. soooooo good!! Also this morning was marked by me getting my early Christmas present. I finally got a pistol! I've had my LTC for quite a while but not my own gun. Got a Rugar LC9 and I love it. It's compact, easy to field strips, easy to conceal, just what I was looking for!!0 -

how do I feel about my day? uh....I was not a huge fan of this Monday at all. I didn't get to do everything I wanted to at work, which stresses me out, and I had some technical difficulties (phone and network wasn't work) until 11. On the other hand I had great food today, left overs from the pot roast I made yesterday and I had already put a corned beef meal in the crock this morning. God I love this time of year and using the crock with the cool weather, changing leaves, gorgeous temps, and cute babies (like mine) in pigtails and sweatshirts!! Overall I love life. I want to get a fire restarted under my butt to keep losing weight, I've been stagnant for 2 weeks, it's time to push through it.0 -

How do I feel about my day? Well today is Veterans Day, so at work I decided that I would educated the kids about what the holiday means since most of them had no idea (thank public school system). They actually were really happy to learn about it, why it's important, and learned talked about family who or vets or how they could honor current Vets. Our unit is pretty heavy on having boys right now too so they enjoyed talking about the armed forces (what teen boy doesn't?) I'm glad that I could be the person that taught them about our country, our relationship with other companies, and to learn an American value that has somehow lost it's meaning....0 -

Have you ever taken multi-vitamins before? I take a generic Women's One A Day. It kinda makes me feel nauseous if I take it in the morning or afternoon so I have to take mine at night. Just an FYI. Also when is the last time you got a physical? You can see if you have any vitamin deficiency through blood test. I live in Massachusetts and most people in New England are vitamin D deficient because most of the year we don't have strong sun. I'm actually severely deficient (cuz I'm lactose intolerant too) so the multi has 1000 IUs of vit D and then I take another 2000 IUs. Doing this actually helped me have more energy!!0

Julie I used to take the One A Day weight control for women. I had a lot of UTI problems on it (probably due to the caffeine in it). I have considered buying One A Day general this time instead.
I am VERY deficient in Iron, Calcium, and Vitamin C. I am VERY allergic to citric acid and so most of the healthy citrus foods I cannot eat. I am "supposed" to have 4 servings of bone in red meat a day for the Iron deficiency, but that is a LOT of meat to eat and its too expensive, so I just stay deficient. And I am also lactose intolerant so I rarely get my calcium. I really do need to invest in the multivitamin.0 -
man, wish I was iron deficient, I could eat meat all day! When I was pregnant with my daughter that was my number 1 craving too. There are iron pills you could take, surprised the doc didn't prescribe them with the amount of servings they want you to take. Def take the reg. women's one day day (I get the generic at Target) I'm pretty sure there is vit. C tabs too0

Abs: no
Challenge completed? nope
Did I take my vitamin? before bed as usual
How do I feel about my day? Well, the reason I wasn't such a good girl is my father in-law came today! We had pizza, and I just couldn't help myself, plus I went a little overboard on lunch. I will catch up though. I know I can be a good girl today, get on the stationary bike, walk, do the challenge, and be on track. So tough when you want to celebrate with family! Practice for the holidays I guess! With these past two "cheat" days I have realized something. I can't eat as much as I used to. When I went to Friendly's with my nieces I coulda downed my meal, had two sodas, and an icecream. I was FULL during my meal. I need to STOP eating when I'm full!!! But besides that, I'm WICKED excited about my father in law being here and his girlfriend! I'm pumped to hang out with them all week!!! (yah, I know, love my in laws, rarity in the world)0 -

How do I feel about my day? I had a nice day mostly hanging out with the baby :-) We went to Target to pick up a buncha stuff. Stopped at Kay Jeweler to get my earrings inspected (gotta have them done every 6 mos) Ended up buying my daughter one of the stuffed toys they have where proceeds go to St. Jude Hospital. We did that all in the morning. Then in the afternoon we went to the park! Now that my kiddo is more mobile and steady on her feet she had way more fun! She even went down some of the slides by herself! I took video..yah...I'm that mom. Then we had a yummy dinner with my father in law and his girl and then went to visit my bro in law which was nice :-) Now just watching some wrestling and waiting for the sleep bug to bite me so I can get some zzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZ.0 -

Did I follow my Diet? I did great on Cals and carbs- blew everything else.
Did I drink enough water? This is the closest I have come in a while to drinking enough. And if I had done water instead of milk for breakfast I would have made it too!
Cardio- 30 minutes of walking, and some food prep this morning.
Abs- Nadda.
Challenge complete? Tomorrow is supposed to be an off day, but I am going to make it my Day 2 of the challenge. I tried today, but the pets were just too much. Tomorrow the dog goes in the crate, the cats get closed up in their respective rooms and I will complete that challenge
How do I feel about my day? I feel pretty good about my day. I ate a bigger breakfast than I am used to, and it kept me fuller through the day. I also tried a few snacks. I need to find some less fatty, less salty snacks. My goal is to not feel hungry between meals as much so that when I eat I am ravenous. Being ravenous is never good.0
