I've caught myself dropping off the face of the earth. I won't let me!!!
1.) get a grip--YES
2.) mow the lawn--YES
3.) assist my daughter in cleaning her NASTY room and doing her homework.---NO I let her play outside!
4.) work on laundry-- Hubby did most of it!!
5.) don't get stressed out about taking my son to the doctor (he flips out and throws hellacious fits)---We had a good Visit
6.) water! it shouldn't be this hard!---got in my 8!!!
Had a GREAT day yesterday!!! I am happy. I was falling and falling fast again, but I am pumped that I caught myself in a few days rather than a few months!!! hopefully I'm getting better. I am very discouraged though with my surgery and may end up having to have a hysto. That doesn't bother me, only being off work and not being able to do much is what bothers me. I am done having kids so I'm ok with it. And this last surgery made that impossible anyhow and Hubby has had a vasectomy.
Wow I'm in a great mood and so talkative. No one here at work to talk to but I'm going to have to get off here soon because I've gotten in trouble for being on here so much and on facebook.......... So I'll list my goals and go.

Ok, I have no idea what's up with me recently..... I've been feeling really blah, and completely unmotivated in just about every single facet of my life for some reason! I really need to snap out of this, though, and today is as good a day as any!4-11-2011 goals
1. At least 6 cups of water - No
2. Under on calories, carbs and fats - No
3. Bed by 10, sleep by 10:30 - I think so?
4. Make it through the day without having to ask to leave early! - YES! Thankfully I was able to be sitting down most of the day, which helped. The only part of it that stunk was that because I was feeling so crumby, I just played a video for the kids (in for a music teacher) instead of trying to play a game with them or anything.
Steph - Happy belated birthday!
Stephanie - Glad to see you back! As you can possibly tell by my first comment after my recap from Monday, I can fully relate....
Hannah - Don't worry about missing days.
As you've probably noticed, many of us do that from time to time. :laugh:

SKismet – Hope things pick up for you soon.
Yesterday was quite good, the running is getting better though I still find it pretty tough to envision a day where I will be able to run for 30 minutes solidly let alone 45-60. I started talking to myself while I run “Keep going! You HAVE to keep going! You CAN do this! It’s just a hill, keep going!” So glad no one was there by to hear as I alternately threatened and cajoled my self round the park. I must have sounded insane, but hey it worked!

Nam--I need a good talking-to, also. I've been giving in to my emotional eating impulses. This really needs to stop! (I do think, though, that a good part of my lack of motivation, etc. is the dreary weather--I need more than one day of sunshine per week!)

Yesterday was not a good one for the diet, I got home from work and immediately went out on the town and had all sorts of badness. I don't feel too guilty about it. My every day eating is so radically different from what it was 6 months ago that as long as I don't let it turn into an indulgent streak it should be fine.
Today's goals:
1. Plenty of fruit and veg
2. Work out
3. Under on calories
4. First layer on print
5. Laundry
6. Finish reading my book
7. Water, lots of water.

Well, did not get in a workout but did help put a couple hundred fushia hanging baskets on carts so they could be rolled inside the store last night--freezing temperatures were expected. Also went for a 2 mile or so walk with my daughter and the baby last night before it got cold. Then I undid all that by having some Whoppers (I love Whoppers!)

1. Water! - So-so. Around 5 cups I think.
2. Stay under on calories, carbs and fats - Yes, no, yes. With the kind of day I knew I was having, I really should have seen that coming.
3. Bed within an hour of getting home from my "second job" - Yep.
4. Call garage during either lunch or prep to make sure they have all necessary info - No, but I actually have a good reason for this one: There wasn't signal where I was teaching and there were kids around ALL day, prep and lunch included. :ohwell:
5. Get to the tax office and post office between jobs - Yep.
Kim - Great attitude! I've seen this said so many times on here, but I really believe it's true: Anything in moderation! (And I believe that "moderation" can include one day of major indulgence.)
Kathy - That DEFINITELY sounds like a good workout at work!
