Good morning everyone! It's a early rainy Saturday morning here. My daughter woke up way to early and I'm hoping she'll go back to sleep soon lol.

I was going to avoid it at all costs but decided I probably needed to see it in the numbers. I had a great am yesterday and really a good day but I ended up binging again. I ate over 3200 calories. This is so disheartening and I already feel heavy and bloated this morning. We also have a cookout tonight if it stops raining so I'm not sure how that will go.

Was looking forward to a park in a local park this morning but the rain is killing that hope, but I may still go to a dance exercise class. The day is young!

Morning all, woke up snuggling with my son today, he had a nightmare, settled, then leaked his pull up, so he came to bed with me after a change. I held him thinking not long and he will be too old to want snuggles with his mummy like this. Boo hoo. But enjoyed the moment.

Had my coffee but need more and I am only allowed 1 a day because I have it milky with a tiny bit of sugar lol. Someone send me a shot of caffeine!

Natasha I think but the need for more caffeine is confusing the issue.

Good afternoon everyone. I hope this finds you having an awesome day. Michael let me sleep in today which was wonderful. Not much going on here this afternoon. Tonight I'm going to a wine tasting party at a friend's house. I plan on eating a very healthy, filling dinner before I leave the house. That way, or at least I'm hoping, I will stay away from the appetizers that are full of calories. I know I will need to eat a few of them to balance out the wine but I plan on enjoying the socialization more than the food. I don't get a lot of girls' nights out so I honestly plan on enjoying myself and if I end up going over calories I'm not going to beat myself up over it. Have a great Saturday everyone!

Well, if I do become a trucker's wife at least I can make it to the store. I'm pushing the girls through gravel or the grass a decent portion of the time which is difficult but doable.

My legs burn (this I expected) and my arms burn (which I didn't) but we made it to Aldi, Subway (for lunch) and Kmart and made it back home in one piece. Hubby came with us and kept offering to push the stroller for a bit. As tempting as it was at times, I declined and reminded him that if he becomes a trucker he won't be here to take care of us all the time. He told me that it'll take some getting used to.

Tomorrow we take a different route and go to Goodwill and Walmart.

After Hubby's training is done and he gets his sign on bonus I will probably set up Amazon prime and get everything besides groceries from there.

Hi gang,
Just a quick pass through. Today was a busy, busy day full of lake association stuff for our annual meeting. We had a last minute change to our guest speaker and ended up with an amazing replacement... a national loon expert, who gave an absolutely fascinating talk on our breeding loon pair as well as loon behavior in general. This yearly meeting is always a big stressor for me, but this year I have such a good team that everything went smoothly and I was able to just do my speech part and enjoy the rest of the meeting.

Tomorrow I start my next round of "personal boot camp"--very excited! I'm finally recovered enough from all my stupid infections to hit the exercise hard again, which always puts me in a better frame of mind. Nancy mentioned doing a cleanse--I may do a few days of either no carbs or just protein shakes as my body needs a shake up. I've been terrible about tracking my food, and I've been terrible about sticking to my plan every day, too much "I'll start tomorrow" mentality going on. As Pat said in another thread, that's the easy choice, the apathetic choice. If I want to live, and I do, I need to make the more difficult choices. I need to work for it.

Hope everyone is doing well!
Karen
