Which would be Monday, Sept 4 - if we start counting from Tami's original post on Sat Aug 25.
That "we" is beginning to look like "me" but that's ok, I'm sticking to the plan.
So far, so good - been in bed before midnight every night and had lights out by midnight (give or take 10 minutes :-)
I'm not sure if it's really helping. I wasn't in the best of moods this weekend but I wasn't tsnappy at folks either.
And, I've learned, you have to give this one-day-at-a-time stuff time to work.
That's my report. Anybody out there? Tami?

Ha-- I'm here, I'm here!!!
Had some bread over the weekend with Keith, out of the house. I'd shared with you in the past that I don't like my personal eating habits to alter his life or the lives of my children-- so, after a busy morning, when he suggested we take Abby out for a bagel at Panera, knowing there are very few other choices there besides bread products, I ordered a bagel.
The spirit of my plan is to eliminate breads. I'm holding to that very well. In practice on a busy weekend, it may enter the picture now and then. I'll continue to do my best to keep it out....but when given the choice of having a bagel with my family, or insisting we find another place to find something to eat on a busy Saturday morning....I'll take the bagel.
Beyond that-- I continue to do well, my friend.0 -
I have come to the conclusion that I suck at challenges. I have not had a single day since this had begun where I have drank, drunk, had drinkin 32 oz. of plain water. 16oz, I can do, but for some reason water does not appeal to me. I just prefer coffee (black) or diet lemonade or diet soda, which I know is not good for me. I will continue to try to get more water in, maybe if I add a lime wedge it will make me think I am having something more exotic.
Kudos to those who are succeeding

Well, here are my challenge issues the older I get, Diana.... If I don't rise to the challenge, which with my lifestyle is almost a guarantee to some extent, the likelihood of me then focusing on the negatives..."I failed this challenge...." Is great.
Taking Jeanne's words to heart.....while I don't want to give myself a pass when I stray too far and too frequently from my goals, I'm tired of the negative, shame-on-me confessions...."I ate this....I shouldn't have eaten that...." I put myself in a confessional for too often-- "Bless me, Black Team, for I have sinned.... "
Enough! :noway:
I know what I need to do. I do it more often than not on the diet front. And exercise happens when it's convenient.... I'm done sacrificing my 4yo so I can get "me" time.
I'm personally beyond challenges. Too much of my life is outside of my control with so many family members still under one roof. What I eat isn't always within my control.....but overall how much I eat, and the overall type of calories is definitely something I can do. And generally, I do all right.
I do believe I need to reduce calories.... I lost my weight eating 1200 calories of the food I serve my family. Somewhere along the line I got nutty about eliminating all sugar, et cetera, and got obsessed. I can't help but think the mind plays a huge role in how our body reacts....
Babbling..... I'm reducing calories again a smidge-- if I want to eat more, I'll have to earn it. And I'm just vowing to eat normal amounts of normal food which is how I lost my weight in the first place, and stop the God awful, 24/7 worrying. It ruined my life. It ruined my body.
Enough!:ohwell:0
