    I'm so excited! I frantically looked for my name on the list, and was so excited when I found it, I almost cried! YAY!!

    Last night was such a tough night for me emotionally. Tony and I got into a bit of a spiff - well, hurtful things were said by both, and quite honestly it was a verbal fight. So, of course, what did I do? I ate macaroni and cheese (my comfort food) at 11:00 PM last night watching 27 Dresses. :sad: Then, I had a good cry. Finally, at 1:00 AM I slept.

    Today is better. Today is the "present" - a gift from God. So, I'm going to use it to be stronger and learn from my PAST mistakes. Today I'm going to eat well, because I deserve it. My body deserves it. My mind deserves it. My overall health deserves it. And, because when it comes right down to it, macaroni and cheese at 11:00 PM at night does NOT make me feel better.

    And, I'm going to blog about it. I'm going to say things that never in a million years would I have ever said to 140+ people I don't know, like what I'm saying now, because they're going to help me pull through it. My CCC friends will let me know that it's OK, and we all make mistakes, and it's time to be strong and move forward. Yesterday was the past and today is the "present" - beautifully wrapped and waiting for me to open it up and marvel at what's inside. ~ Christine
    NEVER LOOK BACK !!!! ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD,!!!! things will get better :) mistakes made ,its a new day to start making it right :)

    Had a bad day today :frown: Totally choked on my certification assessment. Won't know for 3-4 months if I passed or not but either way, I definitely didn't perform to my own standards. Took a nap in the middle of the day instead of moving. Then spent tonight binging (one of my biggest downfalls). Somehow, I still managed to get in all of my water but it was all in the last 4 hours so I'm guessing I'll be up in the middle of the night to pee, lol. I'm pretty sure I got all my veggies because I went to Ruby Tuesday's for lunch and had a ridiculous amount of salad.

    So I was feeling pretty down to say the least. :sad: Then I decided to check in here before heading to bed. SOOOOO thankful I did because each and everyone of you has made me smile. I see your dedication to making your lives better and it really gives me a boost. Yes, today was a bad day and I allowed myself to wallow in it. However, the pity party has just ended and I've already decided that tomorrow is going to be wonderful. :bigsmile:

    You are all fantastic! Have a wonderful evening and I'll see you all tomorrow!!! :flowerforyou:

    Hey everybody! WE are making it happen! I had a busy work day on the road early and brought some goodies with me to snack on. Enjoyed a Mahi Mahi taco with lots of vegies for lunch. Still working on finishing up my water. Very tired when I got home but after taking a quick look at this site and catching up on things I pushed myself out the door for a walk, since I missed my gym class. Feeling pretty good.

    Sooooo Glad to be in this group! Thanks everyone:flowerforyou:

    Good evening everyone,
    It was a tough food day - seemed like I was hungry the whole day. I swim 35-45 minutes after work then ride my bike home (3.5 mi). Mon & Tues I did not eat a lot of my calories back and I think that's what did me in today. I am just one under today and I drank almost all my water. The veggies and fruits will not be hard for me ...living in the Central Valley of California blesses us with the freshest fruits and veggies you could dream of.

    I am glad to be a part of such a caring group of people.

    Sweet Dreams,
    Teri

    Gmorning CCC friends! You are are doing awesome. I am glad to be a part of such a great group. I will try hard to get my water fruits and veggies today. I have a Zumba class this mornig so I am stoked. I love Zumba, it makes me feel young again, lol.

    (((Hugs))) Jenn, I am sure that you did an amazing job on your exam. You are such a great person for doing all of this for us too. Thanks so much.

    Keep the healthy recipes coming. I can't wait to try them this weekend. The Crockpot, casseroles and stir-fry meals are big hits around here. I love finding new healthy and yummy recipes to feed my brood.

    Let's make it a great day ladies. We are on our way to giving ourselves a great Christmas gift this year. The gift of a healthier body. Be blessed.
