Weekend Stories Part 2

:flowerforyou: I hope your day is better today sindy and shore.....

Yea, naughty this weekend. I can feel it in my pants. Lots of salt. I did get up and do intervals of running and brisk walking on Saturday. Yesterday.....so so so bad.

But! I didn't have a drop of coffee once this weekend!! And I'm doing ok here at work without it! yay! Tonight I'm planning on sticking to just one tiny drink after I do cardio kick boxing and a little yoga.

Soon, my body will get rid of those toxins too and I will be pretty good!! The drinking is what ruins my weekends.....:grumble: Always gain about 2-3 pounds in water weight.

:flowerforyou: Happy monday!

First - HUGS!!!!!!! I hope this week is better!

My weekend was busy as usual.

Friday night - I went out and consumed WAYYYY too many high calorie alcoholic beverages haha.

Saturday spent the day SICK from above haha. Saturday night had a football game with my son... they won 14 - 8

Sunday I was at a birthday party for my niece and nephews (they're all born within 3 weeks of each other).............

This week is INSANE with the stuff we have going on so I'm sure I wont be reading many posts!

On sunday, I was so nervous about the Patriots it was dip & chips, sausage peppers and onions and cookies.

And your Pats did fabulous!! That rookie is a looker....I may start watching more games....

SO--Tell me how great y'all did this weekend?

Well, my entire week was bad. Let just say my entire week and a half. I had loss ten pounds since being on the site. I was very proud of my accomplishment and had even changed by goal ( I do 10 pound increments). Over the last week and a half I have gained back 7 lbs. This was from eating everything and anything including every free item (hot dog, nachos with cheese, pretzel with cheese, cotton candy and snow cone) at the church carnival on Sat. On Sunday I went to Family Day at my cousin's job. Again free food ( veggie burger, salad, soda, funnel cake etc.) When it comes to free food, "I become a fool and think I must eat everything.":embarassed:

Well enough of feeling sorry :sad: for myself, my weight gain is my responsibility:frown: . I lost it before and can lose it again. Today, is another day and I will start anew. Don't beat up on yourself, you will only feel worse.

It's mostly water weight, gorgeous, don't worry!! You would ahve had to eat your weightin hot dogs to gain 7 pounds in one weekend.

Get plenty of water in your system and grab the veggies!! You'll be tip-top in no time:flowerforyou:

I'd had a good first week until Friday night. Felt weird all day but was excited about taking a dance lesson with my daughter & son-in-law so I tried to go, but by the time I got there I was in full migraine mode and had to leave. Went to Kroger to get a healthy something or other to put in the microwave at DD's apt while I waited for the kids to get done dancing. Uh oh ... there is a Sonic in the Kroger parking lot. Smart half of my brain was saying "DON'T DO IT!!" Stupid half said ... "Oh, you can eat a couple of bites of that amazing Oreo Blast and then throw the rest away." So, stupid won and I ate the whole doggone thing. Then ate the healthy food. Then, when I got home at midnight ate 2 pieces of toast with butter and honey and milk!! Dangit, if I had been able to dance all evening I could have AFFORDED eating that stuff. Well mostly. Kinda. Never mind.

UGH. :mad: :noway: :huh: :grumble:

But, on a positive note, Saturday I still felt bad but managed to eat healthfully, and Sunday I STILL felt bad and actually ate right and exercised. And Hurricane Ike was exiting the picture by that time so I started feeling better eventually.

So my weigh-in was this morning and I lost 2 pounds. I've psyched myself into being happy about that but am trying not to remember the good old days when I was younger and a week like this, even with the binge on Friday, would have resulted in more like 5 pounds off .... Mama always told me that it got harder as you got older!

Have a great week everybody! We can do this! :happy: :flowerforyou: :happy:

Sounds like we all tanked this weekend :frown: :laugh:

Threw a bridal shower for my sister on Saturday. A lots of terrible food there. I have no willpower against finger foods, or -- let's face it -- any other kind of food.

Took remnants of food back home and snacked on them all day yesterday.

Canned soup for lunch. Sodium city.

Saw a jogger in my neighborhood last night, but it didn't incite the urge in me to go running. Felt sluggish last night, still do. Yup, all the food and sodium has killed my exercise urge. No good. :grumble:

So today is Monday.
It's a new week.

Back in the saddle again.
Healthy lunch and snacks today.
Exercise this afternoon.


Let's have a great week guys and make up for those not-so-great weekends!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I couldnt believe how much sodium is a little can of soup. I love soup when I am sick. :sad:

I am now an assistant manager at work, so I worked 25 hours this weekend:sick:
They're going to schedule me less in a couple weeks, thankfully. I didn't work out Sat or Sun, but I burn about 92 cal/hr at work since I stand the whole time and have to climb ladders to get shoes, plus we got a huge shipment in so I was lugging boxes and dressing mannequins. I ate clean though! I always pack all the food I need for the day..hardboiled eggs, whole wheat pita w/ tuna, light yogurt, and a healthy choice meal.
