Morning everyone, hope your weekends went well. Since weekends are usually harder for many of us I thought maybe we could make one change or one choice now for next weekend to make it work better for us.
My change is water. I am making the choice right now to always have a bottle of water next to me or with me. If I am lugging it around or if it right in front of me, I will sip from it more.

Hmm.. one change. good challenge tishtash! It would be to track all of my food just for the one week. So that is what I will do. Anyone else? And how was your weekends?0

No idea what to do on weekends. I can barely keep up with anything. This week will be heck and then some as my guy has training in the City (45 minutes one way), and my workload is such that I can't take off work, so I'll be driving two round trips each way each day...Crazy-making time. Please pray for us!
Hugs,
Carly in Oklahoma who is likely to be scarce this week due to traveling craziness.... SIGH!0 -
I've been trying to be more active on the weekends. My husband deals with major depression, and so he spends most of the weekend in bed or cranky. (long story, but he's getting help...) I've let that rule my life for so long that I had become very lazy. So now? I get out. Walking, hiking, doing free stuff that makes me feel good. I'm sore as heck today after the really long hike I took on Saturday, but it's getting better. That's as many changes as I can handle for now.
For me personally, the "make one change" thing is something that never worked. I totally admire people who can do that and stick with it. But, seeing that written makes me remember that's one of the major reasons I didn't like Weight Watchers. Every meeting at the end, we were instructed to write down one change to stick with for the week. It bugged me no end. I'm making so darned many changes right now, coming up with another one sends me into a tizzy. And, then, if I don't succeed, I feel like everything else is at risk. I don't know why this rubs me so much the wrong way (and honestly, I hope I don't offend you Tish, I don't mean to). I would see everyone else at the meeting happily writing down their changes and talking about them in such a positive way, and I'd be sitting there in a pool of resentment. In no way do I intend this to censor anyone's desire to participate in challenges like this. I'm just noting this about myself and wondering if anyone else has similar feelings.
Carly, have you checked Craig's List for carpools? Or maybe another resource in your area? I bet there's a way to find something that can lighten your load. That's a lot of driving for one week. Hope the traffic is light.

Caroline, Probably about as long a story as the one for your husband's depression, but my guy has claustrophobia and certain social anxiety stemming from some issues I can't discuss here, but I cannot fathom that he would be able to handle a ride with a stranger for that distance. Appreciate the idea, though...
And wanting to leave you with a positive note today, a friend just posted the following. I LOVED it so much I had to share.
Self Love: It doesn't mean that everyone will treat you the way you deserve to be treated. It means that you won't let them change the way you see yourself; nor will you stick around for them to destroy you.0 -
LOL don't worry Carly, I couldn't stick to mine for one day.0
