    Still i palm springs....unfortunately!

    Spent the entire day at the airport, yesterday....arrived at 9 am, flight at 11. One hour delayed. Finally push away from the gate about 12:20 pm. We speed up for take-off and, all of a sudden, aborted take-off!

    Back to the gate. Wait on the plane. (This plane is BRAND NEW - has been operating only one month.)

    Light showing "open door" won't go off in the ****-pit. They deplane us. Have us wait around 4 or 5 hours. Then, finally say, "flight cancelled."

    :(

    So, our rescheduled flight isn't until 3:00 pm today. Glad my nanny could stay. Won't be home until 8 tonight.

    I'm going to find the gym at the hotel and hit the weights, today. Gawd..

    Yesterday I was craving Butter tarts something fierce lol. Not something I normally eat. But wow are they like the worse thing you can eat! So I found some that were smaller and less cals etc. for two. But really who can eat just one lol. So after I ate my two I really wanted more. But you all will be proud I went upstairs instead and kep busy organizing etc. And this is why I try to keep the junk out lol. Kept to my cut off time of 9pm and we ate dinner real late last night.

    Dewdrop - Thanks for your input I really appreciate it. To be honest I have been going back and forth about it all week. I say in my head I have DVD's and resistance bands etc. I know what to do so I just have to actually do it now. Then when summer hits I go walking and biking a lot. The closest gym to me is about half hour walk, 10 mins biking or 5 mins car. But I dont have the car until the evening. Its about 35.00 a month with pool and classes and no contract. So I guess whats stopping me is, as ridiculous as this sounds but I have to buy workout clothes, dont have any. Two, what if I don't go? But I think the paying for it might be a motivator. If I take my boy I will have to pay for childcare, but its like 3.50 for 2 hrs. I need to get an arm band to hold my phone for music, because there is no way I will work out with no good music lol. I know might sound excuses..... I really want to and yet I feel like I SHOULD be able to at home. But I guess obviously if I havent yet in the last 6 months... then I obviously need that extra push.

    I used to be in the habit of having a snack in bed while i was reading and one night i did this without thinking......have to pay more attention!! doing ok stopping at 9 pm but not doing well limiting calories before then. Seems the more desperate i am to lose weight the more poorly i seem to do.

    chantiC- if you are not working out at home for the past 6 months then get to the gym!! i am not self motivated enough to do it at home even tho i have exercise dvds. I like to bike but not so much in the rain so for me going to the gym in regular shorts and tshirts gives me a great workout and i am inspired by other people there....even tho i rarely talk to anyone. I do not listen to any music cause i do not like anything in my ears.....i also use the "i paid for it so i better go" line to help get me there!!

    beeps- hope you finally get home!! such a drag about the delay

    Last night I just lost all control :( No excuses, back at it today.

    Kareleona - I have worked out in past 6 months, I guess I should of said established a routine. LIke I workout for a few weeks and then stop for a few weeks etc. Or at home I am just too lazy. So yes I will be getting a gym membership :) Thanks for you opinion, appreciate any feedback :smile:

    Well off for some breakfast. I weighed in this morning and gained... not surprising after my aweful binge last night. Had a very stressful day yesterday and it broke me. But planning ahead today!

    Have a a great Saturday everyone!!

    Hey guys,
    I am back from snowboarding in France. I'm not entirely sure of my score so I'm guessing slightly but I think it's

    LNS 3
    Me 6 :laugh:

    We had a great time away. I was shattered every evening after a day on the board. But I also ate loads and loads. Mfp would predict my calorie burn as incredibly high (about 2000) but I would enter it as about 150 cal burn an hour so I was way over on cals every day.
    But I still logged every single day :glasses:

    I had not eaten any chocolate until on the way to the airport this year at all, so I had a week of consuming lots of it. Now I am back to a chocolate free life :tongue: Its much easier than I thought.

    I vaguely remember some bad feeling, but don't know if it was late dinner or what. Definitely not last night, when I stayed really strong and all together definitely not worse than:

    Me: 10 - LNS:1

    I'll try to dig in my memory to see if I really missed that one point. Right now I feel like p00p :( . At least no more high temp...

    Hope everyone else is doing great! Thanks everyone for being so serious about this challenge. With its ups and downs :).

    I can admit that last night I really had to fight that urge after 9 pm. Even with my spouse eating mozzerella sticks at 10pm, I didnt have any. But it was hard, but I was proud of myself when I went to bed :)

    Keep up the fab work everyone!!

    Well, I'll have to re-record what yesterday's results were. I didn't THINK I'd pantry raid, but I did.

    :noway:

    So:

    Me: 9
    LNS: 4

    Cannot consider myself in the double-digits for "me", yet. This hasn't been my best month for quite some time!
