Hey!!!! Where is everyone??????
I couldn't find a post for today's weigh in, so started one myself. If there's another, let me know!!

The family weekend was GREAT!!! Of course, my scale doesn't think so! :noway:

Have been totally craving salt which is so unlike me..........any ideas?? That probably accounts
for the weight gain as didn't get in enough water this weekend either.:grumble:

Missed our group and daily posts.........looking forward to everyone checking in and getting
back on track!

Hugs

I ended up with a total of 10 lbs lost (i lost 2 lbs before I started MFP) so I lost 5 pounds this week!!!! I'm sure it was cause TOM left and I ate very well all weekend! Sure enough I stepped on the scales yesterday morning and I was 5 lbs lighter than last week! I already went and got my first new outfit! I am leaving for the beach saturday, for 8 whole days, so, I decided to just get shorts and a tank top. I took it easy on his wallet since he was taking me to the beach afterall! :happy: :happy: :happy:

just to let you know, i wont be weighing in for the next 2 weeks. i was becoming too obsessed with the scales so i thought it was best to take a break

Hello all -
I was only down a pound this week, so i am going to amp it up for the next week, can't wait to see the 250's and be out of the the 260's. I will make better food choices and go back to walking 2-3 times a day. This last week i only took one walk a day, most days, and didn't eat as healthy, although i stayed under my calories and some days didn't eat all my exercise calories.

Ok...I just found you guys! I was off thursday-friday for my 'weekend' and went away with the fiance and I fell off the wagon I dont know what happened, I think it was probably just me being stressed and eating my feelings because I tend to do that but yeah...not the best choices were made!

the part that annoyed me the most was that I was all set to work out each morning I was away and when I dragged myself out of bed Thursday morning at 5:30 am and got all dressed and ready to run it turned out I had left my running shoes sitting by the door at my house....2 hrs away I was definately disappointed because both hotels we were staying at had amazing fitness faciliities adn I was looking forward to using something different for a couple days!

Ok...so sorry to have vented all that to you guys but I feel a little better. I am looking forward to a fresh start and getting ready for my wedding next year!!!

Hi everyone, I just found it.
I have been doing horrible!!! I weighed myself the other day (cause I knew I wasn't doing so well) and I'm back up I gained 3 lbs!!!!
But instead of quitting I'm still here, I started working out again yesterday, i know, I fell off the wagon! But I am def. trying to get back up. I'll be back on - on a new post I suppose - to weigh in on Monday. Hopefully I can atleast lose these 3 lbs and be back to where I was. I'll take extra though!!

Morning my friends! :flowerforyou:

Glad everyone found this post.......I'll leave it for someone else to start coming Monday
so I don't screw it up again!!

Haven't checked in cuz don't want to face myself or tell others.........STRESS EATING!:grumble:
I think I do this when things get really bad at work, not so much at home. DH understands
what I go through, he does the same. We both start reaching for the carbs and comfort food.
Had a long talk last nite, decided we both need to get back on track (again) so while he's at
work today, the boys and I are going to the market and restocking on fruits, veggies, whole
grain, water, etc. In the long run, eating is better than what I used to do to myself.......drinking....
used to have 64oz of vodka on the rocks coming home every night...and sometimes two.
I'm going to REALLY TRY to make exercise my vice(addiction) instead of food.

Thanks for letting me vent........seems like a couple of us have had "one of those weeks"!

Have a happy healthy day

It's The Journey That's Important
By John McLeod

"Life, sometimes so wearying
Is worth its weight in gold
The experience of traveling
Lends a wisdom that is old
Beyond our 'living memory'
A softly spoken prayer:
"It's the journey that's important,
not the getting there!"
Ins and outs and ups and downs
Life's road meanders aimlessly?
Or so it seems, but somehow
leads us where we need to be,
and being simply human
we oft question and compare....
"Is the journey so important
or the getting there?"
And thus it's always been
that question pondered down the ages
by simple men with simple ways
to wise and ancient sages....
How sweet then, quietly knowing
Reaching destination fair:
"It's the journey that's important,
not the getting there!"

have a great healthy, well eating weekend!!!

Pam, i find cheddar cheese snack cubes really help my salt cravings!! i get those too!!

sorry to hear about ur stress eating! i'm usually a sweet stress eater- so i eat lots of sweets! i've found that by lowering my carb intake over the last few weeks my cravings all around (sweet and salt) have been diminished.... except the usual TOM ones. lol..... maybe that might help too, i'm at about 50g of carbs per day now :flowerforyou:

Hey guys! Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I have lots to accomplish as i am headed out of town next week for a couple months to take care of my house that is out of state.

Classic c - have a great baby shower, sounds like a good plan to avoid the not so good for you food! For me it is all about planning and i do so much better.

Pam - was that a typo - 64oz of vodka? I hope so! Exercise is a much better addiction! Sounds great, stocking up on veggies and fruit. I would be doing the same if i wasn't leaving town for so long.

Anewday- great attitude, keep at it, I have heard the less you have to lose, the harder it is, but you can do it!

Maddiebabe- that stinks about forgetting your running shoes, hope you enjoyed your weekend anyways though.

Just got back from a walk with the kiddo, she is down for a nap. I can tell walking is getting easier carrying her, i am sure it will be time to change up my work outs soon so i can keep losing weight!
