Hi Everyone! Very quiet....hope you are all still around! What a weekend. I had to get back to it yesterday after having too much fun with the food and drink. I really do try to take one day at a time with this stuff and try hard not to beat myself up if I fall off the wagon. Did everyone have a nice weekend? I am going to dry a few new recipes this week to shake things up a bit. Still looking for something low carb and crunchy. Have a great Monday!0

Just checking in.
Going food shopping today so I was wondering if anyone wanted to share yummy Low Carb ideas with me. I have a few in mind already but variety is always good.
BTW, I had a meeting yesterday with my hubby and kids. Told them that I can't do this journey alone. Told them that in order for mommy to get healthy I need their help. Which means instead of cookies and cakes around the house, we need fruits and veggies. Instead of watching tv all day, WE as a family need to get up and walk the dog together, etc. Everyone is willing to help. my little is so precious. He is excited...Awwww
I look forward to this journey!!!0 -

that's fantastic! it's great that you'll have that extra support, and also think of what a healthy example you're setting! this post made me smile :happy:0 -
sincereme thats awesome getting the family involved!
I turned 50 yesterday...this bothered me more than I expected it to. Kinda depressing at first, BUT I recalled the work I did Sunday (and many other days) and am quite proud that this 50 yr old body can still do so many things! I ride horses (trail ride) and due to the heat I haven't been riding the trails that are close to my house. It has finally cooled off enough for riding but I knew the trails would be grown up so I took the 4 wheeler, a chopping ax and pruning shears and did some trail clearing! I was sore yesterday! All this to say the yrs of consistant exercise is keeping my body fit (of course the loaded dinner plates are keeping me too heavy! lol)
Anyway all summer I"ve been doing mostly circuit training to save time, like most people summer is very busy with so many things going on, but decided yesterday to start a 3 month rotation of Cathe Friedrichs STS http://cathe.com/fitness-programs/sts-series I did one rotation a yr ago during the fall/winter months. Its a great program and I need to kick things up a notch. I've decided to embrace my 50's with some kick *kitten* workouts (modifying when needed of course)
Diet I"m still working on making slow, steady improvements instead of trying the "quick" results fads. For me they back fire. So slow and steady I'll go. I"m not losing a lot of lbs put I took measurements this AM and I"m losing inches. A few people have told me I look like I"ve lost weight.
Hope everyone is having a great week!0 -
Awww thanks mcjabber!!! I made sure I told them that as well. That mommy wanted a healthy family so we can all enjoy life together!!! I was honest with them and told them that Mom is not healthy and it can get worse if no change is made NOW!!! They are happy to get a healthier mommy!

HI!! Trying to stay positive here, threw my back out on Sunday and did some pity party eating but now trying to get back on track.....again!
i feel ya there. i was in a hit and run accident in june which sprained my back in two places and caused about 2 months of pity eating. gained 10 lbs :noway: but that's why i'm here! ready to get back on track myself!0 -
Happy birthday Connie! I'm inspired by your trail clearing story. i'm 26 and i don't think i could do that 0
-
Happy Birthday Connie! I hope the celebration continues all week, all month, all year!
Sincereme, its great that the family is involved. I think it helps. Every bit helps. Especially from the kids!
Yikes! Hit and run Mcjabber....I hope you are feeling better these days.
All those things in our lives turn us to food. Why is that? Hope everyone is well and having a good day!0 -
Thanks for the BD wishes everyone! Life is good! I"m back on track today as far as eating goes. Gained a few lbs (I do the weigh in Wednesdays) but I expected the wt gain. Too many diet sodas and not enough water and a few days of "loose" eating. My workouts are good though. Too bad I"m not as consistant with eating as I am with exercise! lol0
-
Just checking in. Day 2 back on track. I did slip up yesterday at dinner but it was because I went food shopping after work and was too tired to do anything else. I now know that I have to prepare better for tuesdays and days similar. I am still excited to see my weight come off!0

Where is everyone? I would really like to keep this thing going.

How is everyone else doing this week? The weather is beautiful here today so maybe I'll get out and walk before work.0 -

Speaking for myself, its been a crappy week (work related) and my eating has not been the best. I'm a stress eater! I"m taking a vacation day tomorrow, my brother and I are going camping and horse back riding. Hopefully this will relieve some work related stress and get my head back on straight! I hate when I let work/stress sabotage my hard earned wt loss results! Looking in my journal, I see a vicicous cycle, ....*sigh*0 -
My week hasn't been too bad but I have some days similar to yours work related... I have decided to get an MP3 player and shut out all the noise and bad language here at work. That really gets me down and I just need to be able to make it disappear for those long 8 hrs that I am here.
As far as my eating, I have been making better choices but I do have a couple of slip Ups. Not getting discouraged though. I feel good eating better!!!!
Today was a dreadful morning though. I went to bed last night with a migraine and was hoping it went away during sleep but it didn't. It got worst. Plus I had a Echo to be done so all that just hit me all together. Feeling a tad better now.
Now that you have spotted that cycle its a great time to change it up!! Enjoy your vacation!!!! Hope it gets better for you next week!!:bigsmile:Where is everyone? I would really like to keep this thing going.

sincereme, sorry it has been a bad week. a vacation day sounds great. hope you enjoy and get the stresses out! camping is great....i'm afraid to ride a horse, though! always seemed like such a beautiful thing to do, but i just can't get up there! let us know how you feel when you get back!0
-
sincereme I hope you feel better soon!
projan6-my time with my horse is precious! Its my best stress relief. Hope you're having a great day!0 -
I'm pretty new to MFP and I just found this thread. But I have to say ....... low-stick-a-banana-in-your-ear-and-jump-on-one-foot......
I want to try this one!
And also, I agree. Different things work for different people. I want to be supportive of everyone no matter how they are working out the losing. Because in the end, all that matters is that we lose and get healthier!

Hi Debi, Hi everyone else...wishing you all a great weekend! Hopefully this weekend will be good for the food/exercise/motivation.....last weekend I didn't do so great. Well, its behind us now, so time to move ahead. So far today has been good. Will get to the exercising a little later on. Why is that always so hard to do????0
-
I don't know profjan6 ... but i agree, it totally is. i'm going to get on my Wii fit this weekend if its the last thing i ever do!!!0
-
How do you like the Wii? Debi, you lost so much weight you surely are doing something right! Wow, I am definitely impressed.0
-
Cool!
OK So now we have a little group.......what the heck do we do now?
Should we have weigh ins and goals or whatever......or should we just hang out and BS?
Hi everyone - just got started with MFP this week and I'm still finding my way around...Saw the first post and read the whole string...Sounds like a really great group to be a part of. How would you all feel if a guy joined in too?...I have some thoughts relative to the quote above.0
