Did I follow my diet today? way over

Challenge completed? No
Did I take my vitamin? Yes
How do I feel about my day? I went to my mom's church for the christmas choral concert. It was fun. I ate too many desserts and sandwich foods there. I was going to try for a light dinner, but I feel like I am starving. I am trying to recover from a recent injury to my knee, so I have decided food is probably a good thing (energy for healing and all that). So I went WAY over my calories today. I am so frustrated by my knees because I am used to my restrictions on my arms (past surgeries) but problems in my legs are not usual. I go to the doctor tomorrow to find out what damage was done. My right knee looks like it has a ping pong ball in it. My left is marginally better, but both are still so swollen! I cant wait to get back into my routine soon!0 -
Restrictions can be so annoying. When my back acts up I'm pretty much incapacitated except for walking and that's.....pushing it. And I have problems with both wrists (surgeries, tendonitis) so I do anything on my elbows since I can't really do my wrists having pressure. Finding alternatives and adjusting calories is really the only way to do it.0

How do I feel about my day? I'm getting really aggravated with my back. It's still not great and I'm scared to make it flare up. I'm feeling really bloated, gassy, and I feel I've put water weight on. I just want to be able to do the challenge! Argh!! I want to reach my goal so badly but I don't know if it'll happen. But I'm going to keep trying. But this yo yo-ing with my weight is getting me so mad when I'm tracking so well! But then at the end of the week I tend to lose at least 1. Maybe I am under estimating what I'm eating. I'm contemplating getting a scale.0 -

How do I feel about my day? I got a bed room closet organized and cleaned. I also went to the doctor over my knee. I have bursitis. I means I get to rest the joint for another 2 weeks. Joy joy joy >.< I went out to dinner tonight though and enjoyed a nice pizza and drink with out going over my cals. There was a jazz band that started playing right when we had to leave though, and Jazz is my favorite! So boyfriend has promised we will go back if I lose another pound. (He knows pizza is my weakness!)0 -

I've notice some water weight come on me, I don't know what's up with that, but I was feeling kind of discouraged (but today I wake up 2 lbs lighter than the day b/4, wtf?) I'm hoping to get on the stationary bike again tonight because I can't do much of anything else without hurting really bad....damn getting old (although, seriously 30 is not old).

How do I feel about my day? Today was super fun. My boyfriend and I went to a place called MAGIQUEST where we ran around and completed live fantasy missions (its like dungeons and dragons live action). We then went to a mirror maze. Then played minigolf. We ate out for dinner. Then went to a mall to wrap up our christmas shopping. But we just ended up at Victoria's secret. Today I learned that I have gone up a cup size even though I have lost weight. I wont complain about that! We ended today on the couch enjoying a movie. It was a great day off for both of us

How do I feel about my day? Great! I got back pay for our raise because our union contract was finally completed and they always start in "october" so I got a $68 check, thus the Chinese food! I thought I'd treat us since both my husband and I have been so crazy busy with work and being parents. Plus then I don't have to cook! Wooooo!!

How do I feel about my day? I'm just so happy it's the weekend. I'm going to finish my Christmas shopping and take the baby to her picture with Santa! Even though I've been in pain all week I've been staying focused and make sure to at least do some light/moderate activity around the house (you don't stop being a wife or mother b/c you're in pain). I'm getting really excited for Christmas but it doesn't seem like anyone else in my family is, except for maybe my husband. I've been feeling very fortunate and grateful for my life and the things that we can do for ourselves and our daughter that many families can't do. I never want to turn into one of "those" people that doesn't remember the hard work I've done and that my husband has done to have the life we have. The year is coming to a close and I'm looking forward to 2014!!0 -

How do I feel about my day? welp I stayed home today because my mother has been really sick. I went in yesterday because my husband was home. looks like tomorrow I will probably be home too. I've decided that if I were a house wife my house would be immaculate! I wrapped presents, took out the trash, vacuumed the whole house, put dishes away, washed pans bottles in the sink, went shopping for things we need, did a bit of Christmas shopping, cooking a delicious beef stew, general organizing, just a bunch! And there was still some things that I didn't get to do, but I will tomorrow. I don't think my mom is getting better by tomorrow so I will probably be home again. I have so much sick time so I'd rather she get better and take the days off. I only have 2 days of work next week before I have my schedule vacation anyways...0 -

How do I feel about my day? Welp, since I was home for two days while my mom was sick I did so much that I really just wanted to relax today, so, I did! Just hung out with my kiddo and husband. I ended up falling asleep on the couch with the baby early (like 9) and didn't get up until 10:30, put her down, and was up for a bit. Hate when that happens. But overall it was a nice day. This heat wave is bumming me out though, I want the snow to stay and it's melting :-(

How do I feel about my day? Welp, back to work today for me! It was nice to get back there and do what I love. Although I missed the baby. It's such a hard thing. I'm very passionate about the work I do with adolescents but there's always a piece of me that wishes I could be a stay at home mom. It's just not DOABLE. Maybe someday I can. Only one day left to work and then I'm on vacation until the 30th. Won't be going much of anywhere, but I'm certainly going to busy! I can't wait to see family and friends :-) I also can't wait for Claire to open her presents! Last year she was only 2 3/4 mos old for Christmas, so this year will be so much more fun.0 -

I've been skipping my crunches, but plenty of low cardio from general stuff I usually do, so I'm going to keep that up through the holiday! I just gotta remember to not over eat. Stop when I'm FULL0 -
Okay, time to get back on track, and back on the wagon of challenges, gotta check in tonight :-)0

How do I feel about my day? Just enjoying being home, a lot of things I want to get done before going back to work. Particularly I'm going through my clothes because hubby got me a gift card to Old Navy for Christmas and I want room for NEW stuff that looks good! I'm getting rid of "bigger" clothes in hopes that I will NEVER go back (I did this with my size 22s a couple years back). I also sifted out my clothes from when I was pregnant to hold on to for a future pregnancy. I still have more to go through, but not much! There are things in the laundry I'm parting with as well. Never looking back, NEW YEAR, NEW ME!0
