Honoring all Veterans and their Families today - Thank you for your service to our country. I do wish (and here I'm getting political) that all Americans were required to serve their country in some fashion - I think it would help develop stronger work ethic in our young people and a sense of civic pride in everyone. It wouldn't have to be just military service - it could be parks service, maintaining highways and city streets, fire station volunteers, service along those lines. Just my humble idea.
I am very frustrated with myself. I have gained 5 big, fat, pounds. I can blame, blame, blame the prednisone for my new found hunger and huge appetite. I can blame the cold weather for my body wanting to pack on winter insulation. I can play the blame game or I can get on with getting back on the wagon. I choose the latter. First order of business: lose these 5 pounds!0 -
I like this picture it is so real. Happy Veterans Day to all the Vets!!0 -
@toots- I was not in the Service but have family members that were/are. That is three generations in this picture.
My wife's side of the family has some Marines. Her grandfather was one at Iwo Jima and her brother was in Desert Storm.
what a sweet pic. i love when there's generations. here's my guy. but my dad was also in.

@MyMOwMOw -- Congrats on reaching surch a cool milestone!!
@Kay-- Congrat on reaching yours too
@Laura for maintaining on vacation
@Jtconst -- sounds like you and your sister had fun!!
@Robin-- love that you are keeping it real. That's all we can do is pick our selves up dust ourselves off and get moving. I know you can do it. I am always grateful for how you keep this site moving along.
Yesterday was weigh in day for me and I loss 2.5 lbs which was so encouraging it has been awhile since I had seen the scale move down. This is the last of my days off back to work tomorrow. Spent the day basically catching up on chores and getting things in order for the work week. Went to the Costco can tell that the holidays are getting upon us it was even busy on a Monday. Wishing everyone a good day.
Keep drinking your water and logging your food. It does help.
Wishing everyone the best,

Thank you to all who have served our country! I thank my sons who served and are still serving, I remember my father who served during Korean War and my husband who served during the VietNam War.
I have had a crash and burn this week-end and it just dawned on me some of the things which sent me into a tail spin. I have been stressing out over my neighbor Lily who is now not letting me into her apt. but was talking to me through the door until tonight. She wouldn't answer the door at all, in fact she shut the blinds while I was trying to get her to talk to me. Will have to call the social worker tomorrow morning with my concerns. Also my weddin anniversery was this past week. My husband and I would have been married 41 years. After 16 years you would think these things wouldn't affect me so much.:brokenheart: I'm praying I can re-re-focus again! I guess this is going to be a life-long struggle. The Lord will give me strength to get through this. Will catch up on reading and posting later as I have a Bible study to go to tonight.
Love you all,

Hi everyone!! I'm back from my trip to NOLA. Lots of fun, but my sinus infection is back with a vengeance. :grumble: I didn't log at all while there (no laptop and I have a NOT smart phone) but I think I did ok, overall. Friday night drank too many hurricanes and fru-fru shots--lots of calories, but I gave some of them back :sick: . One reason I was so sick is that we didn't eat much. Went to dinner, but my friend and I shared a meal and it wasn't very good, so I didn't eat much of it.
Saturday my friends went to the LSU game. Since I was a tag-along, I didn't have a ticket and given how sick I was (hangover + sinus infection = YUCK!), I am glad I could stay back at the hotel. I went out exploring on my own in the afternoon, but didn't eat much again. Not sure why I had such bad luck with food in such a foodie town, but I swear the meal I ordered was disgusting. It was supposed to be a shrimp an andouille omelet w/ tomatoes, onions, and peppers. Instead it was a "pouch" of scrambled eggs filled with shrimp and andouille, topped w/ a strange tomato and pepper sauce. Not at all what I expected, plus the shrimp weren't cleaned! Who doesn't clean shrimp?!?! Finally, the diced potato hash browns were literally sitting in a pool of grease. I'm not exaggerating--they were swimming. I ate the top layer of potatoes that weren't touching the grease, and picked at a bit of the eggs and sausage, but I left sorely disappointed in the meal. I ended up napping in the evening until the rest of my friends got back. Was planning to go get dinner with them, but they didn't get back until 11pm. Luckily, they had some leftover Popeye's from tailgating, so I had a piece of chicken and went back to sleep.
On Sunday, my friend and I had a much better food day. Ate one of the best burgers I've ever had, along with some mac n' cheese bites. Later we had beignets and iced coffee at Cafe Du Monde--as yummy as I remember! We had an evening flight back which got delayed due to Chicago weather, so we bought a club wrap to split on the plane, along with some hummus and crackers.
Although I was disappointed in the food, in a way it may have been serendipity b/c at least I didn't overeat. Also, did a lot of walking Saturday and Sunday, so that was good. Today my head feels like it might explode from all of the sinus pressure, so I'm going to take it easy for a couple of days and hope it clears up.
Happy Veteran's Day to all who serve and their families!! My dad is a retired Captain after serving 42 years in the US Navy.
Sorry I'm not doing any personals, but welcome to the newlings, congrats to all of you guys having so much success, and sympathies to those who are having a tough time due to illness, injury, or other troubles.0 -
Monday check-in. I haven't had much of an appetite, but tonight my daughter-in-law made a nice chicken pot pie and I ate a whole serving. I think that is the first whole serving that I have eaten of anything since the surgery. I came close to my 1200 calories. That is good. It was a little alarming to lose 5# from Friday to Sunday. I need to get a better balance. I had PT today so that was some exercise, but missed my afternoon walk due to snow.
Robin--good for you. The blame never gets anyone anyplace, but it sure is easy to play.
Good luck to all of you. Have a great evening.0 -

Sounds like you had fun and the food choices are so very hard there because it is the land of delicious food well so I have heard. Sounds like your drinks were yummy and you earned the right to let loose a little.Glad you made it back safe.0 -
Isn't it interesting how many people have family who have served. It makes us all part of the same family.Also my wedding anniversary was this past week. My husband and I would have been married 41 years. After 16 years you would think these things wouldn't affect me so much.:brokenheart: I'm praying I can re-re-focus again! I guess this is going to be a life-long struggle. The Lord will give me strength to get through this.
I suspect that if my husband dies before me, it won't make any different if it's been six years or sixteen. hugs.0 -
Monday Check-In: Thank you to all the veterans who joined the service to protect my freedom. I especially need to thank my father who is a Vietnam vet. So proud of his service during a very difficult time.
Also, I loved spending Veterans Day with my 10-year old son, Cyrus. We volunteered at Opportunity Village in Las Vegas. Basically, it's a non-profit organization who trains and employs people with special needs. We worked around the property as they prepare for their annual fundraiser, Magical Forest. We had an amazing day giving back and I'm so glad I was able to share it with him. Life is good!!0 -
Bump. Still here and following thread...just working long hours this week.0

@lmackbethi -- I think you just need to keep focused after a slide. One slide does no harm at all, it's when you have a series of slides!
@mnwalkingqueen -- thinking of you & your hard decision.
@Kelley -- hope your kitty is ok.
@Tina -- Every previous time I've done this I've gone through this thing where I stick to a plan in the week and then it all goes haywire at the weekends. This time I think the logging helps; I've had the odd difficult day at weekends but I just keep reminding myself that I'm spending time with my friends; the food and drink are incidental to that, not the actual purpose of the thing.
@Katrena -- my problem is that I have a 'carb-shaped hole' that makes me hungry if I don't have something with carbs in a meal. But it turns out that quite a small portion of rice or potatoes or pasta is enough to satisfy.
@Tammy -- I often drink beer on a Sunday night before weighing in on a Monday and I too find that it has a bad effect on the scales. You'd think I'd stop drinking it really...
@Robin -- good to see you back on the wagon!
@Liz -- congrats on the SV!
@Christine -- days like wedding anniversaries can be really hard I think. And thank you for all you have done for your neighbor; I hope social services will provide some support.
@skinnyjeans -- sorry you had such poor food in NOLA. Though beignets and iced coffee does sound very nice.
MFP has cut my calories again; I'm not surprised really because I'd been finding that 1460 was an easy target. So I guess I'm smaller and don't need so much food now. Wow. That means I need to be resolute about exercise. Though today will be a light day, just with 30 minutes of Wii or similar. I have also noticed that I'm often choosing smaller portions.
Tuesday goals -- I have hit 100 logging days in a row, which was my previous Tuesday goal. So my new one is officially 'ONEderland in 2012!' And for that I need to focus, because I'm pretty sure I'm not losing any weight in the last week of December.
-- Alison0 -
I'm back from vacation and what I learned is that I have little self control when faced with really good food. I'm fine when I'm home and I have the same food around all the time but when options are available that I don't have access to on a daily basis I have a hard time saying "no". I did exercise and walk a lot on vacation but I bet I gained 7 lbs in 20 days.
One thing that hurt me is that I refused to be hungry on vacation. While I'm home my stomach is often grumbling and I'm counting the minutes to my next meal but on vacation I ate enough to make sure I wasn't hungry before I'd have a chance to eat again. Plus the food in the Middle East is so yummy and I know I won't be back there anytime soon so I wanted to try everything.
So now I'm having a little trouble getting back on track because I'm trying not to eat all the time but I'm so hungry and I have to get used to eating less again even if it means being a little hungry sometimes.
Today my goal is just to stay under my calorie goal.0 -
Tuesday Goal:: My goal today is to get my push ups done today! Also to get up tomorrow morning and get a workout in before I take my daughter to the babysitter's....it's hard because I will have to get up at 4:15ish...yikes! But I want to help my team get immunity this week in the challenge I am in! I did 10push ups yesterday (girl ones) and my arms are sore just from that! I have 40 more to go lol
Week 2 Challenges
Nov 12 - Nov 18
2/3 Cardio Days
1041/1100 Calories DONE
6.15/4 Miles (bike - 14 miles) DONE
10/50 push ups (going to work on these as the day goes on)
Have a great day everyone!
Tina0 -
@Susan - That sounds like a wonderful way to spend Veterans day. You're raising a responsible and caring young man!
@Tungsten - I would try eating lots of SMALL meals if it were me. That way food isn't too far off at any given time and after a while you can start cutting them out slowly and increasing meal volumes.
@Alison - Grats on the 100 days of logging! Well done!
@Toots - Wowza! Tell me he has an unmarried brother!
@GrandmaKaye - Glad you are starting to feel a bit better now.
@Skinnyjeanz - I was sent to NOLA for a week for a work conference (in AUGUST!) and I wasn't impressed much with the food. IT just wasn't my kind of thing........
@Christine - {{{big hugs}}} I can only imagine how difficult this time is for you. I can SORT of relate. My father passed away on Thanksgiving day so it's just never been a holiday that I feel like celebrating. He was such a difficult (and sometimes cruel) person and our relationship was so complex that it always brings up lots of feelings for me.
@Liz - Gratz on the weight loss!
@Robin - Hang in there! You can do this thing!
Tuesday goals- WalkWalkWalkWalkWalkWalk. Only 10 days to the Turkey Trot and I don't feel fast enough yet. I know i can do the distance but darn it, I want it in under 50 minutes. My stumpy short little 25" inseam legs don't want to do that speed. My other goal is to just stay below calories.0 -
In addition to obvious goals of tracking food, and walking, both of which I'm doing good at, I need to get back to the water. Its a hard habit for me and I've gotten out of the groove again. So that's my goal for this week. Kaye0
-
OH Happy Day!!!
Tuesday Goal- Being the sun is out here in MN get a walk in before dark is my goal. I am glad that I am back to tracking food it is helping me not mindless eat.
@Christine :flowerforyou: and Hugs. God Bless You for all you have done for your neighbor. I am sure the situation you recently wrote about was hard but calling the county is the best thing that can be done to help her right now.
@My M0wMow- Congrats on your loss it is inspiring to know our goals are obtainable.
@Kah 68- Car repairs are the pits at times. Hope your kitty is feeling better.
@Tina- Sounds like you had an awesome walk.0 -
@Toots - Wowza! Tell me he has an unmarried brother!
haha he actually has a twin brother. but there's three problems. he's a frigging lunatic. he's married. and they're faternal so he isn't nearly as cute.
he'll be tickled by that though. he always seems surprised when people think he's attractive. 0 -
i ate the wrong stuff and my stomach has been letting me know about it all day. sigh.0
-
I made my goal today....I walked while my hot dish was cooking in the oven. I basically killed 2 birds with one stone and also had time to read some posts,0
-
@holly--congrats on making your walking goal today, and glad to hear that logging is helping you stay on track.
@toots--hope your stomach feels better soon.
@kaye--glad the knee is healing and you are able to get back to walking. Chug-a-lug that water! :drinker:
@kris--Oh my--is it really only 10 days until Thanksgiving!?!? :noway: I bet you will be faster than you think--it's very motivating to be out there walking with others. It helps quicken your pace. I also had a goal to beat last year's Turkey Trot time, but given my illness and trip to NO, I'm not sure I will be as ready as I would like. I guess I will just have to see how long it takes to get over this nasty sinus infection.
@tina--good luck with your push up challenge--you can do it!! Just do a few at a time.
@tungsten--I absolutely love Middle Eastern food! Where did you go? I second Kris' advice to eat several small meals. Also, drink that water to fill you up.
@alison--congrats on 100 days of logging!! :drinker: I applaud your ability to easily meet 1460 calories/day. I'm at 1620 and I have trouble meeting that!
@susan--that sounds like a wonderful way to spend Veteran's Day!
@christine--hugs to you! Sounds like you've had an emotionally stressful week between helping your neighbor and the anniversary.
@liz--congrats on the weight loss!! :flowerforyou:
Tuesday Goal:
My main goal is to just get healthy b/c I know until that happens, I will struggle to eat right and exercise. My sinus infection seems to have settled behind my left ear, so with the cold, windy weather I have avoided my daily walks with gunner. My hope is that I will feel well enough tomorrow to at least take him for a short trek around the neighborhood, and would like to be able to run by the weekend. I've got the Turkey Trot coming up (Kris knocked me back to reality by reminding me it's only 10 days away!).
My other goal is to get caught up with grading. Next week we are off Wed. through Sunday for the holiday, so that should give me a lot of time to really focus on my work. This week I would like to get through a few "lighter" tasks, so I can focus on AP essays next week.
Grading Goals:
1. 40/40 AP test corrections DONE!
2. 20/59 Montana 1948 theme journals
3. x/22 2-paragraph responses
4. x/22 vocabulary quizzes
5. x/22 grammar test corrections
6. re-read Grendel
7. x/22 pronoun/antecedent agreement tests0 -
tuesday goal- come up with a daily plan to stop getting so freaked out about my knee surgery on the 19th. I made a list of things that need to be done each day up to and including sunday so everything will be done. Also put on the list to go to the gym. i figured if i work so hard that i nearly drop i won;t have any extra energy to fret.. Hope this works0

We missed all the Veterans Days goings on, since hubby was in Wisconsin until late yesterday. He said it was very cold and the hotel room heat didnt work so he had to change hotels. It's a little nippy here, but we are going to Savannah this weekend and it should be warm
SkinnyJeans - Sorry you got bad food in Nawlins, (sic) That is not the norm, though once we were there and my little daugher ordered a salad and they put a crawfish on top and she started crying. When we asked why she
trhjrh06 - I admire your determinations. GEtting up so early and then getting your baby off to the sitter. That is determination that meets its goals
Tungsten - Welcome back. I think we all feel like you do on vacation. Hopefully if you did gain, it will just be water weight and most of it will fall off automatically. Thats what happened to me.
Bohemian. I understand about carbs. I just don't feel satisfied unless I have some carbs and then I got wild. I think that is called Syndrome X. Crossing my fingers and toes for you to hit Onderland this year.
GrammyWhammy, we miss you and your words of wisdom
Susan - What a fine way to spend the day and what a great example for your son. Thanks to your Father for his service.
MyMowmow & Christine. I too lost my Father when I was 14 near Thanksgiving. At the time, I didnt feel the loss, just relief as he had had a stroke and he constantly yelled at us and tried to hit us with his crutch . He was particularly rough towards me because I was rebellious and fought back. I would grab his crutch and run with it.
Years later, I was in the Dr's office the week of Thanksgiving and the Dr noted that I had been in his office every year for 10 years with the same ailment at the same time. He said, what's going on with you. I thought about his comment on the way home and for the first time, I started crying and grieving my Dad's passing. I cried for hours. Suddenly I understood how little he could control himself. After that I got sick a few times around Thanksgiving but gradually I stopped. I spent some time in therapy to deal with similiar issues and it was worth all the time and money spent. I feel similiar to you MyMowMow and I often wish I knew what it was like to have a loving father. But I have my heavenly Father and hope you meet my earthly father there w/a healthy mind and body.
Toots __ Your hubby is a cutie pie0 -
goal for the week - stay on track...... maybe even get back to losing a bit... plus, figure out a way to make some money to pay for my $520 car repair, sigh. did get out in the kayak yesterday, perhaps for the last time this year. it was beautiful!!0

thanks. i think he's okay
It's interesting how complicated our relationships with our parents can be, and harder still when they die and we still don't know how we feel. because then it's too late to really know.0 -
Hello Everyone,
Yesterday was a fun day overall, instead of volunteering they had us take the our clients to Boise State's Health fair. They love it all booths give out lots of freebies. They also have little gaves and lots to learn. It also involves lots of walking which makes me truly happy. I love the days at work were we get out and there involves walking & movement involvement. Seems without it I am only getting in my walks with Bella and house work.
But a small nsv 's involves going to this Health Fair. Last year when we went they were doing free blood pressure checks and blood sugar test etc. I got my blood pressure check. My pressure was so high the student call her instructor over they redid it and same results. They were freaking out. I was too because though I was always over weight bp was always good. Went to my doctor and she put me on bp meds. I was also bother line Diabetic. I just thought that's the way it is. Could barely walk that Health fair. Pain in my feet , heartburn every night. But yesterday when I went again agreed to have my bp check my bp was in normal range, don't take my bp pills, this got me thinking how I could walk the fair not be out of breath, Its been a long time since I have had heart burn, not sure about the sugar level but assuming that is good too. But just shows what taking a little weight off can do but more importantly what a difference can be made by just making healthy choices again.
@MyMOw,MOw-& Christine, & KJefferies,-- I loss my Dad many years ago around Christmas time he pass away from cancer it happen before I meant my DH and before my daughter. He never got to know any of his grandchildren. He had many struggles in life by the end before he learn of his cancer he was beginning to get parts of his life in order, stop drinking he was becoming present in our lives. I am the oldest and was on my way out the door trying to get my life going. I wish I took more time to appreciate him and what he was accomplishing. But I was too caught up in me at the time too notice. I mourned his passing at various junctions in life wondering what could have been. Took me time to come to a point of going its ok to mourn but for Me to honor my Dad was to go about my life (Just like how You all Have) I do . Sending Hugs to You All!!!
@Skinny==sorry you got the bad food. Glad your back
@Imackbeth-- My goal is too start trying to figure out time to workout more. We are also dealing with car junk. Hate car repairs.
@Toots -- sorry to hear that your tummy isn't feeling well.
@Kaye glad to hear that you are on the mend.
This post is already to long will be back later.
Wishing everyone a wonderful day

A 16 year old girl that goes to my church is in the hospital. She has been having problems for quite a while and they finally figured out what it was . My wish for today is that she would get to feeling much better very soon . Her name is Ali so please keep her in your prayers if you would0
-
@tungsten93 -- sounds like you had a brilliant holiday!
@Tina -- these challenges are really working out well for you aren't they?
@Kris -- is that 111lbs lost -- you are such a star!
@Skinnyjeanz -- I think I was finding 1460 easy because I'm exercising *every single day*. So that would just give me the extra 2-300 cals. Plus, I do think this is easier when you're not working. There just aren't that many times when I have to grab something unhealthy because I don't have time to fix something good.
Wednesday wish -- that I had finished this computing homework already! I really don't understand it at the moment, and it's due tonight and ideally I'd like to have a run and go do archery before then. So no time to hang round here right now. Plus a serious NSV -- my *husband* has dropped a trouser size and is rummaging through his cupboards for things that he bought and then didn't wear because they were too tight. And he looks brilliant. He's only got a few more pounds to go now.
-- Alison0 -
Happy Wednesday everybody!
After a brief absence I am back here and back on plan. It's been a pretty frustrating couple of weeks, but I have re-claimed my determination and motivation and am ready to do this.
My wish is that I see how special I am and that I deserve to be happy.
How is everyone else doing this week? Wishing you all the best!0 -
Sandy307 - Welcome to our little band of "losers" - your weight loss success so far is wonderful! Glad you have found us and hope you keep coming back. We have found the encouragement here to be very helpful in our weight loss successes.
Boho - congrats on your 2 lb. loss - your attitude is, in your own words, "brilliant" !
Walkingqueen - re: your soul searching: such a tough subject but go with your heart and remember Ann Lander's question "Are you better off with him or without him?"
KJeffries - I think we must be long- lost sisters ! Our tastes are so similar. I love it that you have a picture of a snow leopard in your house! I think they are one of the most fascinating creatures on earth! Congrats on your many inches lost!
Liz - great loss this week.
Toots - he really is a cutie pie!
Monarchris - thanks for sharing your grief and reminding all of us it is just not easy to live with loss. My best bud is a widower of 14 years and its still common for him to choke up at a memory that occurs at the most fleeting moment. I understand thoroughly because that's what love is really all about.
Skinny - sounds like you had both good and bad food experiences on your trip, glad you had the beignets (SP?) and they were wonderful to make up for the greasy dish you suffered through.
Tungsten - the middle east has always fascinated me. I used to work with Drs. from Iran and learned to love their soft language and gentle mannerisms.
KarenLeona - So sorry you are getting nervous about your upcoming knee surgery! You've had so much with your back surgery of course your apprehensive! Focus on relaxation exercises and deep breathing! You will get through this too! :flowerforyou:
nzenczak - I hope you get your special wish - you're a special person and deserve it!0
