Hi everyone!!! Hope everyone is doing well!!! My summer has not gone according to plan so far but I have joined the gym and lost a couple pounds! Sorry I haven't been around. Thanks Leela for shooting me a message! I'll try to be back more frequently once I get life sorted out.
Good luck on your goals everyone!

missloser, add as many goals as you want. Sometimes I have a whole laundry list of things to do too and I know I probably won't get them all done, but I have a better chance of remembering it once i've written it down, or I'll pop back on midday just to see if I left anything out. I love your fiber goal. I take fiber supplements now since I am not getting enough from my food.
silver, how's your grandmother?
Terry, I'm so glad you're back on track on the road to success!
Momma, I love how you and your husband do activities together. I'm actually a little envious! I really wish he was more involved in that part of my life! What's the deal with the mayo? I know you mentioned once before that you put it on everything! are there other condiments that you like that you can use as a substitute? I've heard of people using plain yogurt because the taste and textures are similar.0 -

I haven't been sleeping well the past few nights and I'm not sure why. The windows are open so maybe I need to get used to 'neighborhood' sounds again!
Good for you, NikkiJ!
Hi Nicole! Keep in touch! (And I also thank Leela!)

Hi,
I had a bit of a melt down yesterday. After a very long and difficult day at work I got some photos through of myself at a friends wedding when I had thought I looked pretty good and I looked almost the same as I did in the photo that inspired me to change it all in the first place! It was perhaps the lowest point I've had since starting this process. Needless to say I did the mature thing whined something about eight months well spent and ordered a pizza. I feel pretty silly about all the drama today because now I look at them the pictures aren't that bad and I know I've lost weight and I am as I type, wearing clothes two sizes smaller. I've lost perspective somewhere so I'm going to take today off, not go nuts, I'll still eat my salad, but just think about things other then diet and weight loss. Try to remember that losing weight is nice but not the most important thing in my life and then get back on it tomorrow, better then ever.
Hope you're all having a great day.

Momma, I love how you and your husband do activities together. I'm actually a little envious! I really wish he was more involved in that part of my life! What's the deal with the mayo? I know you mentioned once before that you put it on everything! are there other condiments that you like that you can use as a substitute? I've heard of people using plain yogurt because the taste and textures are similar.
Thanks ... we actually just started biking about 3 weeks ago. But we do love it.
The mayo is just a thing I love. I have always loved it and after I started actually counting calories and realized that in just over a week I had eaten 1200 calories in mayo alone, I decided that that alone will kill any progress I make regardless of how healthy besides it that I eat. So, it is gone. Mayo is the only condiment I use, except salad dressing, so if I want something I just use ranch, but I am actually doing fine without it. I put just a bit of ranch on my hamburger last night and didn't miss the mayo at all!
Hope everyone else is doing great this week.0 -

So Friday we went to the jelly belly factory. It was tons of fun. I got a small bag of sugar free jelly bellies. while we were there, I bought an italian sausage (minus the bread), a small bag of sun chips (I gave most of them to my daughter) and a diet pepsi. Later, we stopped by mcdonalds, I got a mcchicken sandwich (minus the bun and mayo...just for you momma....lol), and a swiped a few of my daughter's fries. Ordered a light lemonade (5 cals per 8oz). So all in all, I think I did pretty good under the circumstances.

Hi,
Sorry to all you posters I've been a bit self-involved and flaky this week. I'm finding it pretty hard to stay on track this week. It had all started to feel a bit easier and come more naturally before I had my freak out, I’m hoping it was just work stress and I go back to being my regular self now. Still try again today.
Jess – Read your blog and I really sympathise, for me its high fat foods, one always leads to another. Keep trying; we’re going to do really well at this.
Silver – What’s your new major?
Tinacuso – Welcome!
Momma – Hows life after mayo? I love it too, I just had to cut out things that I would eat it with. I’ve heard that hummus sometimes works quite well as a substitute. Not the same but might be worth a try.
Teresa – How did it go with the HRM? I just my micoach pacer through to train for a marathon (gulp!:noway: ) next year and can’t wait to get it all set up and running.
Leela – How are the push ups going? Do you have a target in mind?
Kathy – Hope your sleeping better now.
Sorry to anyone I’ve missed.
On to todays goals:
1. Under on calories. No excuses Kim!
2. Water
3. Set up micoach
4. Iliotibial band syndrome exercises:sad:
5. Work on the house
Hope you’re all have a lovely weekend.
