    Hi Everyone! Very quiet....hope you are all still around! What a weekend. I had to get back to it yesterday after having too much fun with the food and drink. I really do try to take one day at a time with this stuff and try hard not to beat myself up if I fall off the wagon. Did everyone have a nice weekend? I am going to dry a few new recipes this week to shake things up a bit. Still looking for something low carb and crunchy. Have a great Monday!

    Just checking in.

    Going food shopping today so I was wondering if anyone wanted to share yummy Low Carb ideas with me. I have a few in mind already but variety is always good.

    BTW, I had a meeting yesterday with my hubby and kids. Told them that I can't do this journey alone. Told them that in order for mommy to get healthy I need their help. Which means instead of cookies and cakes around the house, we need fruits and veggies. Instead of watching tv all day, WE as a family need to get up and walk the dog together, etc. Everyone is willing to help. my little is so precious. He is excited...Awwww

    I look forward to this journey!!!

    sincereme thats awesome getting the family involved!

    I turned 50 yesterday...this bothered me more than I expected it to. Kinda depressing at first, BUT I recalled the work I did Sunday (and many other days) and am quite proud that this 50 yr old body can still do so many things! I ride horses (trail ride) and due to the heat I haven't been riding the trails that are close to my house. It has finally cooled off enough for riding but I knew the trails would be grown up so I took the 4 wheeler, a chopping ax and pruning shears and did some trail clearing! I was sore yesterday! All this to say the yrs of consistant exercise is keeping my body fit (of course the loaded dinner plates are keeping me too heavy! lol)
    Anyway all summer I"ve been doing mostly circuit training to save time, like most people summer is very busy with so many things going on, but decided yesterday to start a 3 month rotation of Cathe Friedrichs STS http://cathe.com/fitness-programs/sts-series I did one rotation a yr ago during the fall/winter months. Its a great program and I need to kick things up a notch. I've decided to embrace my 50's with some kick *kitten* workouts (modifying when needed of course)

    Diet I"m still working on making slow, steady improvements instead of trying the "quick" results fads. For me they back fire. So slow and steady I'll go. I"m not losing a lot of lbs put I took measurements this AM and I"m losing inches. A few people have told me I look like I"ve lost weight.

    Hope everyone is having a great week!

    Awww thanks mcjabber!!! I made sure I told them that as well. That mommy wanted a healthy family so we can all enjoy life together!!! I was honest with them and told them that Mom is not healthy and it can get worse if no change is made NOW!!! They are happy to get a healthier mommy!

    Happy Birthday Connie! I hope the celebration continues all week, all month, all year!
    Sincereme, its great that the family is involved. I think it helps. Every bit helps. Especially from the kids!
    Yikes! Hit and run Mcjabber....I hope you are feeling better these days.
    All those things in our lives turn us to food. Why is that? Hope everyone is well and having a good day!

    Thanks for the BD wishes everyone! Life is good! I"m back on track today as far as eating goes. Gained a few lbs (I do the weigh in Wednesdays) but I expected the wt gain. Too many diet sodas and not enough water and a few days of "loose" eating. My workouts are good though. Too bad I"m not as consistant with eating as I am with exercise! lol

    Just checking in. Day 2 back on track. I did slip up yesterday at dinner but it was because I went food shopping after work and was too tired to do anything else. I now know that I have to prepare better for tuesdays and days similar. I am still excited to see my weight come off!
