I'm letting myself get too tired in the evenings and I know that is when I mess up. I need to nap or something when its a hot day and I'm working--it gets about 20 degrees hotter in the garden center!
I have also put a toothbrush and toothpaste in the downstairs bathroom--I plan to brush after supper. Maybe that will help to remind myself that I am finished eating for the day!
It is going to be MUCH cooler today so that should help, too!
Hang in there, everyone! Let's all have a great day!0 -
Hey ya all.....
Sorry I have been afk for a couple days. Tuesday morning I opened our mail only to find out that someone has stolen my husband's identity, and my daughter who has job issues, and my mind has been so occupied with these things that I haven't even set a goal the last 2 days. Of course Tuesday's goals were shot all to heck....but I did manage to grocery shop yesterday, no list, no menu, but at least we have food.
No worries, Jesus didn't fall off his throne, he is still in control, I am just mentally and physically exhausted.

2. Register for the 5K that I am doing with a fellow MFP member and dear friend atucker_mom. It is August 13th.
3. Laundry.......MAYBE cause I don't want to set my hopes too high on this....you know me!

I hope you all have a great day.
pmjsmom....how is the taking your lunch thing going?0 -
Momma- wb!!!
Kathy- its funny that you mentioned that about your toothbrush. something similiar happened the other night. My daughter asked would I brush with her before she went to bed. I do ocassionally, just to make sure she is brushing thoroughly. And so after I brushed, I didn't want the icecream that I had been craving for all evening!!0 -

No Stretch / No trampoline
No walk either, It poured raining here this morning moment's before I was headed out the door. It's nice now at 9:30 am But the streets are flooded. I'm planning on going to see a movie with my dear Mom.
I'm so excited! I'm finally seeing the scale go down, Its about time. I've been stuck on 146 to 148 & 145 for so long, I was getting a little concerned. The only thing thats working for me is walking 5 miles every day & eating close to 1300 calories. I think all I need to lose now is 5 more pounds & Then I need to concentrate on maintaining that for LIFE!!
My goals for the rest of the day:
1) Stay under calorie allowance 1350
2) Enjoy life
3) walk tonight
4) water
5) Veggies
Sounds like alot of you are doing GREAT:
Toad...... Kickball ! OOoooooo I want to play.. Thats so fun! I haven't played since high school 9th grade :bigsmile:
