hi everyone! yesterday was busy...went to get some groceries and run errands, then had football bus trip, 1 hr 40 min drive, one way! didn't get home til after midnight, then could not sleep, very tired this am. dh is working and will be watching football with my youngest ds, picking up and cleaning and laundry. not sure how intense my workout will be, but will be something for at least an hour!
NOW... looking at my month stats...many blanks on my chart for "did I get it right, hrs of sleep, daily calories", etc. Just not a good report. As for my exercise...really slacked there. have not planned....did not happen. Fall is my favorite time of year, and with it comes some challenges...cooler temps, upcoming holidays...and well, the beginning of many seasonal indulgences. So, time for me to buckle down go after what it is that I truly want. I want to start 2011 happier about me and my health. Back to the daily goals!
1. Log food & exercise. **Plan & Prioritize**
2. 8+ water
3. 7-8 hrs sleep
4. Think positive!
5. Support my pepper friends!

Went to a friend's party. Havent' seen this guy since his high school graduation, 1988.
His husband was saying to me off/on throughout the party... "1988, you havent seen Rich since 1988." Yup, true statement.
I drank some sweet tea, had a beer, had a hard lemonade, had cake, enjoyed the company, enjoyed the party games, and had a great time.
Sunday is a car show... thus, it's a fun filled weekend!0 -
good morning peppers,
well went over the last two days, no real exercise. Today going to rake yard and do some laundry.
Have a great day. check back later0 -
evenin' ladies....haven't been eating so great this weekend...too many carbs, sugars, salt, and fat. went to inlaws today for breakfast. have been snacking on crap ever since. UGH. gonna be a dry week here! NO RAIN! yay! so much yard work I don't know where to start. will put out my fall decor tomorrow. gonna plan my food and exercise for the week...right NOW! take care and let's rock the scale this Friday!!0
-
Ok, did a 30 min walk at the car show. This location had a nice winding path around the soccer & baseball fields. Also a nice skateboard board park. Next year, my son will bring his skateboard.
I am thankful I wore my skeecers shape ups so I able to walk peacefully.
And later in evening, Hubby wanted to take his Trans Am out for another spin - to the ice cream shop.
To compensate, I did a 35 min walk in my development.
Good night all.0 -
Well, it's Monday.. it's gray & rainy.0
-
Morning Pepper's,
Well never got to raking too windy. I totally blew it this week end yesterday I just kept eating chocolate all day long and was feeling very sick last night from it and this morning. Not bothering to log it, what is done is done. Dont know why I started eating it but could not stop totally out of control. Feel horrible this morning about it. Today I am fighting the candy bowl and snack basket, so far staying away. It is raining so no walk today and it is going to rain all week. Will try to do some other exercise but I will stick to calories and not eat exercise calories, hope that fixes the damage. :sad:
So mad at myself.
I will check back later.0 -
hey SHGP's..feeling down today, kinda tired. not sure if it is food related....or many *other things* related.....
Cindy....I have seen so many others (MFP ppl) doing what you and I have done. suppose it has anything to do with the seasons/weather changing? I know it was commented on here... can we blame it on that? ya know, getting ready to *winter*...like the bears..lol, needing that extra padding for winter...so we crave all the comfort foods and increase our calories without even caring??
wouldn't it be grand if our favorite foods.....salty/crunchy, sweet/sugary were actually *healthy* foods? can you imagine that? all the happiness we feel, the love hear and there, comfort, warmth, smiles....WHY NOT? isn't that what this life is all about...feel the love?? ok, not sure where this is going...but I guess I am just trying to make myself feel better about eating my favorite foods, um too MUCH of my lovely's....even tho I KNOW the difference and well, all the real reasons why not to.
so I tried. ho hum, today is a new day.....gonna be like Barb...sigh....................0 -
We all have those "fall off the wagon" days. And we all have those days where we just don't want to log in everything because we know how badly we've gone over.
How do we get past this -- unsure.... take one step at a time -- think new beginnings.
Why does this weight loss venture need to be such a struggle?
Been tempted today w/pumpkin spice Hershey's kisses -- said no. Been tempted w/some other Halloween treat. Walked past it.
Perhaps today will be a good day. After my 5lb weight gain.... what goes up must come down. But since doing MFP, I have not had a 5lb weight gain in one week.
Let's move forward.....0 -
Thanks ladies, needed to hear that. I cant even look at chocolate right now it is making me feel ill. I polished off a bag of snickers mini's and a chocolate shake, yeah that is about 2600 and at that point I only had about 800 left over, so I went over my 1200 by about 1754. I could not believe though out yesterday I consumed that much junk. I think it was because I had a down day yesterday. Ok letting it go.
New start. I will not be logging exercise, not getting too much and strickly staying with in calories. Hope no damage was done when I get on the scale friday. I know why it is a struggle Barb, because we love food and sweets. When I was younger I did not have to watch what I ate because I was running all over the place and worked it off.
Well doing good today, maybe I just needed a day to indulge. Its over and starting fresh. Will check back in later.0 -
Cindy -- yup, I was the skinny kid............weighed apprx 115 when I graduated high school.
Heck, I'll even take my post pregnancy weight after child 3.....that was 142/
And if we adapt the mindset -- food is bad, sweets are evil.... bad bad ... now, we're bordering on eating disorders.
I just read an article about the various food disorders for women over 40....
Women, attempting to better themselves but takes it too far.....example... only eats strictly on diet, exercises for hours, shuns events where there is food she can't have... women who binge.... etc etc...
It was quite depressing.

The funny thing is I look up all the healthy things and it does not matter how much I know it is learning to eat the sweets and bad stuff in moderation. I just cant do it I end up binging and feeling bad and sick. I will keep trying but wont beat myself up that makes it worse.:grumble:
Kelly you got it right sometimes I just dont care I want what I want. It is almost 3 years but it can be 100 and I will keep trying :laugh:
Well went over again last night did not think the turkey sub was as bad as it was. :bigsmile: Well here is to a new day :drinker: , maybe if the rain holds off I will get a walk in.
Check back later.0 -

OMG -- it's the same for me. I know sweets & bad stuff in moderation; however, when I crave it I binge. Or I have a mindset, just one serving -- well, that one serving leads to a whole package of cookies or candy.
Do I overindulge in private w/o family knowing -- YES, I do. And once I realize what I truly have eaten in calorie content, I feel horrible emotionally.0 -
food was planned and logged for yesterday...got brkfst, 1 snack and 1/2 of lunch right.....blew it all afternoon. went w/dh to dr appt. his FIRST scheduled complete physical since we have been married! gets to have a colonoscopy next Tues. lots of stomach and colon cancer on both sides of his family. seems we always have talked about MY wt over the years....well, I was kinda surprised when he got on the scale...he has gained 80 lbs since graduation. and just like me, he was always fit and trim back in the day...and was a 6 yr wrestler. been thinking now that maybe after his scope next week, we can have a visit about eating healthier. I know if I don't buy it, he won't eat it ( here at home ), but who knows about work. they have vending machines and he works where fast food is everywhere, right out the door. Lord knows both of us really need to increase our veggie intake. we both need to realize the benefits of eating better. mainly, health.
anyway, rec'd a call yesterday from the gal that does the craft show...she wants jewelry...so I'll be beading my life away the next couple of weeks.
have a good one ladies. focus on today...maybe just focus on one meal, one hour, one serving of *anything*, or one glass of water. do it. just do it.0 -

ALL OF THE ABOVE >>>>>>>me too!0 -
It was really hard but I ended up telling my DH that I ate the whole bag and he told mom on me. Its ok if it is out in the open maybe I can work on it. I always feel better when I tell on myself and talk with you ladies. I realized months ago we were a like. Now how can we turn this into a small goal. I know I cant cut it out totally, but maybe we can find away of just having a serving or a half? Let me know what you think.
Well back to work, check back hopefully after my walk (if it does not rain). :bigsmile:0 -
It's nice to learn, I'm not alone w/the entire package binge thing.
I'm up for making this a goal... especially during Girl Scout cookie sale time.
Kelly, yup, if I don't buy it.. it's not in house but we have NO CONTROL over what others eat outside the house.
And my kids complain I don't buy anything "good." If I do, they overindulge (like eat 2 servings at once).
What is the happy medium?0 -
Good Morning Pepper's,
Well yesterday I stayed under my calories. :drinker: I really wanted to eat everything last night but after a really hard fight with myself I did stay on track, it was very hard after a big binge. I dont do all the shopping in the house so I have no control on what junk is in the house. I have been worried about my son and the doctor made him have a blood test to check for diabeties. Thank God he does not have it. But needs to loose at least 80-90 pounds. I have been keeping lots of yogurt and healthy foods around to give him the choice but cant make him do it. I am trying to lead by example.
Well got to get back to work. check back later, will be walking today with my buddy so at least a 30 min walk today :bigsmile:0 -
hi ladies...early out today. beadeed yesterday-eve and again today. my kitchen counter, dining room table and chairs are holding nothing but beads...dh does not like this, REALLY ruins his day....so go to a different room! did a little better yesterday with food, but still not where I usually am. no exercise. just a procrasitnator here lately. thinking maybe the early am routine is one that will have to become the change I make. gotta find that balance..
happy medium.....? for me it's like a happy moment turned into a miserable belly ache! I overindulge on so many things. I know many ppl that have the dark chocolate every day, part of their calories. I think it is possible.... but I find the more it's available the more often I will eat it....and of course in private. I am home A LOT by myself....so I really have to be aware of what I eat....any yup, somedays I am very well aware of it. It's there. I eat it. I KEEP eating it. Lots of awareness going on...but definitely not able to STOP and walk away.
so today is kinda a bummer for me....16yrs ago my granpa at 71 commited suicide. He had always controlled everything in his life...had been recently diagnosed with lung, liver and bone cancer....and so he controlled the way he would die. It was a horrible tragedy for my family...anyway...remembering my gpa....0 -
Kelly I know what you mean. I am very aware of what I am doing but do it anyway. I hide it too. Although feeling very good about letting the secret eating out, maybe it will be helpful. But I know this is up to me to do and enforce. It has always been available but I know I have been able to walk away and not feel it before, I just need to find that place again. Well just going to keep trying. We can do this. Last time I set a goal date and did not eat any sweets or junk food until that date and treated myself to a sundae. Maybe I will try that again. I will have to start out small like 2 weeks, so this will be day 1 of no sweets.
Hope I can do this. Check back later0 -
For once, I think I will have 3 decent days despite being tempted.
Today, my boss had a catered lunch for his staff. Ribs, wings, rolls, potato salad, macaroni salad, sweet bread, pecan pie, crab something....
Then another supervisor brought in homemade chocolate chip cookies.
I had already measured my food for breakfast & lunch. Logged those calories. So I felt I had to eat it. ThusI ate one cookie, 1 crab thingy, and handful of small celery sticks.
Did a small run & did the stationary bike
I added my dinner calories and I'm under 100 calories.
And now I'm off to Curves..... So I'll probably be under 400 + calories.
Morale of the story -- it's ok to eat small taste size portions of the goodies others provide - just work off those calories.0 -
Good Morning Pepper's,
Barb glad you were able to work the craving in. I did good last night too. did not go over. Hope rain holds off around my lunch so I can take a walk. I think I need to spread my calories out a bit more, I save most of my calories for dinner because I never know what I am having. Which makes it hard, dont feel much like doing anything by the time I get home. I am hoping not to have a gain tomorrow but this weeks rain is killing me for walks.
Well 2nd day of 2 weeks no sweets, Check back later.0 -
Cindy - perhaps that's the goal -- spread out your calories throughout the day.
Although, I did read an article recently that stated - eat your big meal for breakfast say 700 calories, less calories for lunch say 500 calories then very little dinner like 300 calories.
My first thought was yeah right..... dream on......0 -
Barb I only get 1200 calories with exercise maybe 1300. I usually do 300-350 breakfast, 300 lunch and save the rest for dinner. I eat mostly veggies for lunch which are low calories and have a yogurt or cottage cheese with the veggies, so I am munching most of the afternoon. It is just that I get home around 7PM depending on the train and buses running good. By the time I settle in and eat supper it is almost 8 - 8:30 which can not be helped. I go to bed about 9 - 9:30 not much time to do anything when I get home. Monday is the nutritionist appointment maybe she can help me schedule the calories.
Well back to work, drinking lots of water today hoping to flush the extra calories away :laugh: :bigsmile:

Sindy - Do bring your food/exercise logs to you w/the nutritionist. He/She will be able to make better suggestions based on what you're currently doing. I'm anxious to hear what the nutritionist recommends.
Kelly --- thought of a challenge... Perhaps to begin on 1 Oct.
Track the miles of walk/jog/skate.... See at end of week (or two weeks or month) how far you traveled from your current city to another SHGP's city (or closest "big" city to them).
For example
Sindy's in the MA area and I'm in NJ. So my first goal is to reach Sindy. (OK, so we have met in person.....)
Perhaps the next goal for me is to reach Kelly in IA or Jacque in TX then off to WA for Miss V.0
