1. Take small cooler full of healthy foods with me in the morning.
ate a little over in the evening but overall I did ok under the circumstances.
3. Be a source of peace and strength to David's family.
David is fine. 6 hours after the surgery he was sitting up in a chair. It's so amazing that they can do so much to fix people these days.

3. Visit friend at hospital

bri170lb, so glad about the good outcome for your friend. It is amazing, and how fast they get people up and around! And, race packets? You participating in a race? I may have missed it if you already said...
As for me, JFT, 10/03
1. Get in a workout. - Already done! Completed 45 minutes on elliptical at the gym. Had a tough workout week so took it easy today with a pretty low intensity session. And, yes, I'm one of those people who write something on a list just to cross it out!
2. Eat within 300 calories of my goal for the day. I have a dinner at someone's house which is always kind of tricky. Not sure what is being served but will commit to making good food choices. I'm bringing the wine so I'll likely have 2 glasses. I hate to waste calories on yucky wine so looking forward to having me some Syrah that I recently purchased at a local winery.
3. Relax and enjoy the weekend.

WellingTX: glad you've enjoyed Half Size Me. There are some good interviews with men who are also successful maintainers. Check her podcast listing on her website & you'll find the appropriate podcasts once you see the photos. I'm considering joining the HSM Community now that I've listened to almost all the podcasts. Best wishes!

@Saragirl2 : I love the pre-track idea. Does that help you stick to it if you meal plan and then journal ahead of time? Also, I wanted to say that I understand the overextending yourself thing. I cannot say no either. I feel so guilty if i do and I end up paying for it. I'm one of those people who eats nonstop when I feel stressed or depressed...to the point that I might as well move the TV and recliner right next to my fridge because that's all I'm going to do. So, yeah...I get it. Good luck!
LOL Oh my gosh-we could be twins (re: eating nonstop when emotions are out of control). Around 2007, I lost about 48lbs w/WW & something that helped me get there was pretracking . It definitely takes some stress out of my day & helps with the daily commitment I'm making towards good health. Unfortunately, with WW, I couldn't maintain my goal weight so now I try to live (eat, exercise, etc) as if I were at my goal weight. Best of luck to you too!!

This am I insisted that my husband stay with my youngest so I could get in my walk-I'm so grateful he did.
When friends ask for advice about how I am being so successful with my weight loss one of the things I tell them is, "Sometimes I have to be a little bit selfish and really make it clear to my family that I need time to do what I have to do" They don't really mind, it's just that they need to be reminded how serious my commitment to myself is.0 -

Bri170lb-you are so right! I have to remind myself, the happier & healthier I am, the happier their lives are.

@bri170lb Congrats on your last race and good luck today.

@Saragirl2 As Bri says, sometimes we have to be a little bit selfish when it comes to our wellbeing and make sure that people realise how important it is to us.
OMG! I hope you are all right? An experience like that certainly makes you appreciate being alive to tell the tale.47Jacqueline wrote: »47Jacqueline wrote: »
