1. Water.--Yes but need to drink more at home.
2. Stay in 1800 calories.--No.
3. Day 2 Week 3 of the ACE plan.--Yes.

The day was a little better. There's so much going on right now that it is easy to eat just 'because'. I am trying to do other things when I notice I am starting some emotional eating but it seems so much harder than usual. I won't give up, though, and I know I'll break this very bad habit.

Good morning everyone! This is the first time I have come across this group - WHAT a GREAT support team! I'm so glad I found you!! My name's Laura - I am a horse trainer and large animal veterinary technician, I live a very active life and health and fitness have recently become a focus for me. I lost several pounds a few years ago (70) and now I'm looking at finishing up my weigh loss to reach my goal (of being a single digit size, running a 5k, and LOVING the skin I'm in) - I've had a set back of a minor surgery and have not been able to run, next week I should be cleared to get moving again though - disappointing bc last friday i was under 150 for the first time in my adult life (5 years ago - 212)

today's goals are - 8+ glasses of water, walk the dogs for 2 miles, and not go over board at dinner tonight - I have dinner out at a GREAT italian restaurant with some clients tonight I am determined to remain in control :-)

Looking forward to catching up on this months posts in this thread - can't wait to get to know you all!

Yes, Shanae--I know I have those moments--and days! Even weeks, sometimes! I try to stay focused but there are times I just want to give up and eat and do whatever I want. It's SO easy to get off track! Hang in there--we CAN and WILL do this!

Welcome, Laura! It will be nice to get to know you.

Hey everyone,

Sorry for being MIA again, last time I posted was on the 18th....life has been busy. We had a "bug" that came home with my brother-in-law from school, then it moved to my lil guy and my mother-in-law Wednesday, then my father-in-law Thursday, and me Friday night. Then my daughter had it Sunday night/Monday morning and then finally my hubby got it Monday night......but on a good note, Saturday and Sunday this past weekend, we did get to take the kids to 2 Zoo Boos and trick or treat at the Zoos, one here in town and the other in Fort Wayne ( my friend Jen invited us).

Anyways, I'm not going to make any goals for today, since the thought of this "bug" is still in my mind, I'm not up to par....But here's Thursday's goal.

Oct. 27

1. Water
2. Finish cleaning
3. Try not to junk out so much....allow one snack
