i was down 2.4 saturday. i was happy about that. my bday is the 4th so if i could be down another 3lbs i'd be thrilled.
following my goals pretty well, except on friday had a battle with a box of 100 calorie almonds on the hour ride downtown to pick up my son from his volleyball practice. good intentions, i.e. the 100 calorie individual packages, but not pretty results. let's just say the box won.

ok, i was a moron last night, which is a goal i stole from someone in the challenge and mentally added it to my goals.

i was in bed, 10:30, only 130 cals over. it had been a tough night fighting the food. can't tell you exactly why, had an unplanned sleepover sprung on me at 4:30 pm which involved 3 11 yr old girls(including my dd). not a big deal. we have the room, i ordered a pizza, played some scattegories with them, lots of giggling, some hide and seek. no big deal. so what through me off?? i was at peace in the late afternoon, started having my dinner stuff, and didn't want to stop. if i think back on it, it probably did start soon after the phone call from a 5 hour team party an hour south of our house.

i know i don't like surprises, plans to be changed, etc., but really????? it was not a big deal.

anyway, back to first sentence. got out of bed to get 2nd small bowl of raw almonds, THEN got out again, to mix my 3rd bowl of the night of fage + carbmaster yogurt+T Hershey unsweetened cocoa+T of natural pb. the other 2 bowls of this were included in my calorie count, which was why i was over 130cals.

Unfortunately the 2 small bowls of almonds and yogurt combo was not.

IT WAS 10:3O. ALL I HAD TO DO WAS TURN OFF THE BACHELOR, which is a train wreck anyway, TURN ON JOEL OSTEIN, much better message, AND PRAY.

Oh and by the way, Joel's message on my tevo from Sunday was the pain of self=discipline is temporary.

UGH!!!!

just wanted to check in, can't believe it's been almost a month! water intake is great, having fruit or veg with 2 meals a day, I am down to 150.8, I think 1 or 2 pounds less than when I last posted. I would measure but of course I only think about it directly after I work out (I just finished crunches/pushups) and I want to get everything when it's relaxed.

KEEP IT UP, EVERYONE!!!! :happy:

:happy: Well I lost my 3 lbs so I'm under my first goal!! Now on to goal 2 ,10 more lbs .... otherwise doing pretty good with goals but unfortunately I still had some excuses ....trying harder but u all know how it is:) if it were easy to make good choice when it comes to food we wouldn't be doing this. Have a good day :happy:

progress is going good for me, my water intake and fruit/veg is great. plateau reached though, but in total I have taken off 12 pounds which I am really happy about.
