    Hello everyone! I haven't logged in here for a bit. I have been doing okay until this last few days and I when I asked myself what has changed, I realized... I was missing this accountability!!! I ate over on Saturday, I ate over last night, I am going to have a difficult time tomorrow when I go out for a "ladies appreciation" dinner with my mother in law, my aunt, and my daughter. Exercise has been mostly non existent. On top of all this, I live in Canada.... which means this weekend is Thanksgiving. I am terrified! If I am having this many issues this early in the season, what am I going to do when Christmas comes? /sigh

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? No, hubby and I went out for dinner last night and while I ate well, I only went over by 65.
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? No
    What did I do today that I am proud of? Nothing
    What would I have done differently? I really should have worked out
    What are tomorrow's personal goals? stay under in calories & exercise

    GW at the end of the Fall 2013 check in Dec. 21st? 210

    jsandie - If you can, look up the restaurant menu online and plan ahead for tomorrow. That always helps me. Some places even list the calories online :)

    Thanks for the idea sunshyncatra, but unfortunately it is a special dinner at a yacht club, with a specific menu planned (I don't know what is being offered) I do tend to look up the menus before I go out for meals but even last night I went to Applebee's and couldn't find the nutritional info on what I order. I was able to approximate what the cals should have been but I don't know how accurate it was. The big pain was that my hubby was so full from dinner he couldn't split dessert with me, so instead I ordered their bite size brownie, thinking that it being so small it wouldn't be THAT bad in cals. OMG!!! 350 cals for a TINY brownie and a TINY scoop of vanilla ice cream.

    What would I have done differently? get a salad for dinner and not the buffalo chicken pizza - UGH!! When will I learn :noway:

    GoldK -- I keep asking myself the same things!

    Oh lordie! I don't know if I'm sad or glad that at least I'm not the only one struggling!

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? No - Over 200+
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Didn't set any
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? went back to the neurologist - My MRI looked ok. The doctor says I have a inflamed nerve in my arm/neck and schedule physical therapy - Whew! Consider myself lucky!!! So here comes the rant - I asked my mother to join me because well... she is retired and a nurse and loves this stuff. So we're in the room and the nurse asked me how much I weighed - I said 205. My mom looks at me and says - WOW I didn't think you weighed that much. I weigh less than you? Now after 44 years I should be used to this but once again it is leaving a mark. I know I have to suck it up and not let it bother me but it does and has... forever... I guess she is right but I guess after 44 years I expect her to say something nice... maybe words of encouragement. Feeling hurt but not discouraged :ohwell: Okay - rant over!!! :sad:
    What would I have done differently? got home at 8 from a PTO meeting and should have had a bowl of cereal or something. Instead I had a 60 calorie wrap with hummus, tabouli and some chips. I guess it wasn't too bad but could have left out the chips (which put me over my calories for the day) UGH!!!

    GoldK - I'm glad that your problem turned out to be easily handled and doesn't need surgery or anything so serious. About your mother... Is there ANY chance that she meant it as a compliment... such as... WOW you look like you weigh so much less. I feel like I look much larger than you appear. I don't know your mother, so I might be off, but sometimes we expect to get the backhanded compliments so we look for the negative. If that is not the case, /hugs. Trust me... I have a very similar relationship with my mother. I know its very difficult
