TOTALY FORGOT TO CHECK IN FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS
SUNDAY DRANK ALL MY WATER, ATE AT HOME, AND WENT TO SLEEP ON TIME
MONDAY DRANK ALL MY WATER, ATE AT HOME, BUT DIDNT GET TO GO TO BED ON TIME
TUESDAY DRANK ALL MY WATER, I WENT TO BED ON TIME, BUT I FORGOT MY LUNCH AT HOME AND I ENDED UP HAVING A CHICKEN SANDWHICH(I FELT SO CRAPY AFTER)0 -
UGH...right out of the gate I messed up. I started eating after 8pm and then it was like I couldn't stop. I think I let myself get too hungry during the day. Then I was too embarrassed to log. Messing up one goal had a trickle-down effect to the rest and now I feel like crap today and very angry at myself. I'm also realizing that because I get home at 7:30 or 8pm that I'm actually eating three meals a day at my desk! Yuck. Regardless, I'm starting my week over and am going to take it day by day. A6nd I'll eat dinner at my desk at 6:30 before leaving so that I don't arrive home ravenous at 8pm.
From yesterday:
1. NO EATING AFTER 8PM -- nope
2. LOG EVERYTHING -- nope, didn't do this either
3. WALK FOR AN HOUR EVERY OTHER DAY -- will strive to do this today
4. DRINK GREEN TEA WITH ONE MEAL PER DAY -- will strive to do this today
I need a do-over!
I totally feel your pain about after work starvation! I don't usually get home til almost 7 or 7:30, and by the time we figure out something to have for dinner, then fix it, it's almost 9:00 by the time I finish, and then I'm supposed to go to bed by 10 or 10:30. Ridiculous. So my dietitian told me that I should be using one of my two daily protein shakes as a meal replacement. I think I'm going to use one of those for my late night dinner days. Big hugs & hang in there. Tomorrow is your opportunity to have your "do-over day"
Tuesday check in:
1) logged everything--check! (I even messed around with the food diary and made it more specific to my schedule. Didn't know I could do that.)
2) Check in with the group--check! *It is so cool to read/scan everyone's check-ins and encouragement. Best support group ever!
3) Make at least one better choice--had "apple fries" with my cheeseburger instead of french fries.
Keep up the awesomeness everyone!
:glasses: Jenn
Thank you so much for the encouragement! Did better on Tuesday and today is shaping up to be a good day as well. If I can do the rest of the week staying strong then I will feel great!0 -

checking in on Tuesday goals:
1. NO EATING AFTER 8PM -- check. I was *ravenous* when I got home and wolfed down some chicken but stopped myself at 8pm. I could have kept on eating. 20 minutes later I realized I was full. If I hadn't made myself stop right at 8pm I probably would have kept on eating, never realizing that I was actually full already.
2. GREEN TEA WITH ONE MEAL -- nope. Need to work on this!
3. WALK EVERY OTHER DAY FOR AN HOUR -- nope, only got in about 40 minutes and it was with the dog so it wasn't as continuous as I would have liked. And won't be able to try for this one again until Thursday.
4. LOG EVERYTHING -- done!0 -
Posting first then reading, :happy:
Sorry to be MIA yesterday. Hubby decided we needed to stop for CHINESE on our way back from Pittsburgh so I didn't have to come home and cook. We got hoe after 6:00 p.m. :bigsmile:

Just know that you are NOT alone! I was too embarrased to log last night, plus I couldn't even remember everything I ate at the CHINESE BUFFET!!
Thank God that every day we have a new chance to try harder!! One day, we WILL get it!! Good luck with the rest of the week!!
Krisno real walk today up at 530 to take dogs out but they did their business and I was back on schedule just like that. Lugged 60 lbs of food plus a 30 lb kid in a cart up and down the shelves of the petsmart getting supplies for our new fur babies. 12 cups of water done. no offical work out though.
I think that was a workout!! I soooo admire you for taking on the extra dogs. Your love for the animals just shines in your post!! Good luck keeping busy taking care of them and your family, and ESPECIALLY KRIS!!1st goal check in day!
1) log everything--done (and under calories)
2) check into group board--here I am!
3) make at least better choice for the day--someone gave me a giant bag full of carby snacks & I only ate 2 little crackers
Keep up the great work everyone

Thanks for helping me get over my sugar obsession. LOL Now I can continue with my sugar addiction!! LOL
Great job on the Multiquoting!! Hope your week continues to be a great one!!
Blessedmom:flowerforyou:
Don't worry about keeping up with everyone, it can be overwhelming. LOL I feel bad when I can't so I do what I can when I can. I agree that this site is awesome. My mom is a diabetic, and this scares me. so far so good for me, but I am very overweight.
Enjoy your Family Time!! I love when family is here!!0 -

Keep working on it!! I keep telling myself that!! ONE DAY AT A TIME!! Try not to stress, yep I keep telling myself that too!!
Does it matter if the tea is HOT or COLD? Maybe you have your "walk minutes" set too high. Try reducing it so you have success. Do you have any of the Walk Away The Pounds Video's that you can use when you can't walk? Good Luck!! You really can do this............... so I keep telling myself! LOL Never Ever give up!! You ARE worth it! PLUSSSSSSSSSSSSS YOU ARE HALFWAY TO YOUR GOAL!! GREAT JOB!!0 -
Monday & Tuesday check in :
Have no idea what happened to the last two days, they flew by! :blushing: :ohwell:
-Did great on my workout goals the last couple days, 2 hr. workout yesterday, 3 hour today. Working to push for 5 days in a row each week, then weekends off for rest and catch up.
-Both days were good water days. I seem to be getting back my good water habits, these mini-goals are really helping!
-Tracked food on paper but no clue why it never made it to my food diary.
Unable to post much most likely. Wanna work on that!
-Checking in here- when I realized it was already Tues. evening I knew I better jump back on here and check in and catch up with you all. .:flowerforyou:
Have a great Wednesday Friends!:drinker: Desire
Keeping up on the computer really does take a lot of time from you. Please don't feel you HAVE to read all my posts. :-) sometimes I am a Chatty Cathy!! LOL Do what YOU need to do for YOU!! We are here for you but I TOTALLY understand when people just can't get here cus there will be days (like yesterday) that I can't be here, But it is VERY IMPORTANT that you do keep up with your Food Diary. BUT your Diary is "FOR YOU" so if it is easier to keep track on paper, please do what works for you. I did that for years!! good old paper! LOL In fact yesterday when we were at the Chinese, my hubby asked me, "aren't you gonna write it down"? Cus I usually write what I eat. But NOPE I was eating whatever I felt like. LOL
But then again, I am soooooooo BAD!!! :-) (((huggs)))Good Morning! Just checking in to say, "Happy losing today everyone!" We're off to the next campground in Indiana. I'll check in if they have WiFi. Have a good one!

Week's half over, and I'm still feeling motivated and on track. Thanks for all the support!!! Keep on truckin'!0 -

Weds Check in
All my goals went pretty good today, what a great feeling that is!
Plenty of water
Got everything logged
Got my 2 hour workout in
Checking in here with you guys before bed:yawn:
I think I'll call tomorrow (Thursday) a rest day, my body feels very fatigued after today and I think it needs a day off from the longer workouts.
Might get some stretching in or a bit of a light workout tomorrow instead.0
