Need to Lose 100 LBS -Robins Thread !

My goal is to walk to the voting polls tonight and back home.

happy birthday kelley

Lets see thursday truth: I still think I spend way to much time thinking about food. Part of it is my new passion for cooking, but I dont think "skinny" people spend the majority of their day looking at recipies and planning their next meals.

I have found that this is (was) true for me-I would think about what I was going to make for dinner before I even ate breakfast. But now I rarely give a thought as to what I am going to eat-food has become fuel for my body instead of that crutch of making me feel better about everything as I was stuffing my mouth and not seeing the truth staring at me in the mirror. I only have 3 more lbs to loose and I'll have lost 100 pounds since the beginning of this path to a healthier me. It has taken me since Feb of 2010 to get here and I still have 70+ lbs to get where I would really like to be. For once I can honestly say I don't care what I am eating for my next meal as long as it is healthy and has the nutrients I need. My hubby might disagree but he sees and supports these changes I (we) are making.

I really do not know why I vote I have picked the loser in the last 3 presidential elections.:noway:

Skinnyjeanzbound – Have fun in Naw Leans, I loved it there. That was back when I ate whatever I wanted. I remember eating blackened prime rib stuffed with crab out on a balcony overlooking the French quarter. I had my first hurricane at Pat O'Brien's it was awesome.

Ohpampered – glad you got your power back!

Hope everyone is being healthy.

Hello Everyone,

@Kelly Happy Birthday!!
@Christine your white chicken chili sounds so good would love a recipe if you are sharing.
@Robin-I normally like company but sometimes when its all day like yours was it can be exhuasting.
@Morgori congrats on the loss
@skinny have a good time on your trip.
@ohpampered glad to hear that your power is back on.

Sorry if I am missing anyone but my mind is drawing a blank right now. Yesterday was a very long day work was good volunteer day so lots of walking but I notice the board for our assignments for today and I have one of the worst mixes of clients you could put together sort of stress about that. as I got home my DH was theire geary cause he wasn't feeling well turns out his bp was so high he had an upset stomach so i took him to the er and it was extremely high after running lots of tests there till almost 2 this morning to find out when his meds ran out he didn't bother to refill them . So they send him out with meds and we sign him up so he will recieve them in the mail. So as I am up now exhuasted my group seems overwelming to me I am attempted to take off work. but..I won't cause that's the way I roll. But I am very happy to have a job but somewhere would love one where I wasn't so stress out by it cause I feel scared.

Wishing everyone a good day.

Take care,
Liz

Thursday's truth- I have lost track of doing for me and my sense of self with all the recent changes in my life. I feel like I am the built in babysitter at no matter what cost. I haven't seen my friends since I moved into my house and my friends won't come over due to how bad my BF kids act. I noticed that I am becoming depressed a little and need to get me back in order. I started by taking back my exercise routine even though it is just little quick walks around the block it's a start. I also starting to buy food only for me and cooking something different to eat for me being my new family memebers do not support my healthy life style. Today I am going back to tracking my food I realized that eventhough I couldn't always get it tracked by midnight that it helped me more than I thought.

Skinny- Hope you get well soon and have a blast on your trip. That's on my list of places to go too.
Liz- I am in your boat some days my job is stressful but I am so very happy to have one. Hang in there and find some time everyday for just you whether you read, watch tv or just take a quick nap.
Kelly- Happy B-day
Morgori- Voting is your right you do it so your voice can be heard.
Christine- I always find your story about walking so inspirational it lets people know with determination anything can be done.
Robin- Eventhough you emotionally ate cookies. I hope your company brought some fun into your day
Kris- Last year I still tracked food through the holidays it kept me on track with portions and the amount I ate. I did go over a few times.

Ok, I've been reading the posts and think I'm up to date now. Wednesday, middle of the week, yipes---another one is slipping away. I've accomplished quite a few things that needed to be completed but this list goes on and on. I'm sure you all know the feeling!

Wednesday wish, to keep totally on track with getting healthier. Looks like insurance buying coops are indeed in the future. So wishing for vast improvement by July or August of 2013.

Also wishing everyone well. Let's all get through the upcoming Holidays with success not regrets.

I'm baaaack. From UT that is. Had a great time in "Candyland," but glad to be removed from the mountains of chocolate.

Morgori, I second your comments and am in deep mourning. As half of a retired couple who scrimped and saved to prepare for our senior years, I'm tremendously worried about our taxes which will DOUBLE in 2013. Guess I'm not getting those hearing aids I need so badly.

On to a happier note--oh wait, there is no happier note.

Better end before my bad humor infects everyone here. I'll write when I can find something nice to say.

Meanwhile, have a healthy day everyone!

ok so I was sick and pissy yesterday and after filling my food log for it just now it was pretty ugly. I can dwell or move on. The old me would have dwelled and probably overate agin today. The new me is ging to try to work in a couple extra workouts the rest of this week to help compensate. My wish for this wednesday is for a short stretch of sunny weather so I can get my backyard and garage cleaned up. It is getting so bad in the garage I can barely get to the freezer we keep out there. Well I dont have much time today so I got to run. I am going to babysit my nephew for a couple hours. I hope everyone has a great day.:flowerforyou:

Just stopping in to say hi. I am enjoying my time in Portland. Right now I am waiting for my co-worker to hopefully finish her grades and another to arrive. Walked several miles yesterday and have already done some more today. I even started my day off by exercising before breakfast.

Kelly- Happy Birthday.

Karen- When do you go on your trip? Have a great time.

Pampered- Glad you have power back.

Need to run as I want to enjoy the sun while it is shining today. The last thing I want to come home with is a cold from being out in the rain.
