Not my best day ever but certainly not the worst, either! It's too hot to cook (for a change!) and I made the mistake of grabbing what was easy. That started a downward spiral but today will be different. I am going to stop at the store and pick up some more fruit and veggies so they are ready when I have supper!
Going in early again today.
Everyone seems to be doing a good job! Way to go!!!

Goals for Aug.5:
1 Water.--Yes.
2. 20 minutes of exercise.--Yes+.
3 Track my foods and HEALTHY choices!--Started well, ended badly.:grumble:
4. Watch the evening snacking!--No.:noway:
Okay--started well but ended badly. I went to dinner with my DD, her BF and the baby. I THOUGHT we were going to Sizzler (salad and steak :happy: ) but we went to IHOP (pancakes, waffles, fried EVERYTHING it seems! :ohwell: ). That just seemed to start a spiral downwards and it would have been worse if I hadn't just gone to bed after a while! Oh well. I will start again today and will stay on plan!
To make things worse, DD's BF complained about everything! Nothing he could eat...it's not what he ordered...I hope to remember and politely refuse the next time they ask me out! (It was truly awful--I can't even put it into words!)
Well, it's over and I learned my lesson!
Momma--Jeans are too big! God for you!
Everyone--Have a great day!

We are going to my brother's today for a barbecue. Food will be good as he tends to eat healthy foods and doesn't have much in the way of sweets and snacks. It CAN be stressful, though, as he can be obnoxious if he drinks too much! Let's hope he doesn't!
Barb--I tried those Fiber One Brownies. I have to admit, I wasn't impressed. I think I'll hold out for the real thing!
Wishing everyone a good day!

Monday morning. Working 4 days this week and will have Wednesday off. I think this will be my schedule for most of what is left of the season.
Barb--I tried both of them and the chocolate fudge was better. Maybe I was hoping for too much because I thought they were dry and had a weird taste! My DD loved them, though! Have you tried the Skinny Cow candy bars? They have more calories but are GOOD! I can't have them in the house--they are SO good I just eat the whole box!

Good Morning, My name is Shanae and I am currently live in Delaware. I have been on the weight loss trail it feels like my entire life! However I am 33 years old and I am the smallest I have been in my adult life weighing in at 203.4 pounds this weekend. I am also working out more than I ever have. I reached a 5 mile walk this Saturday took two hours to get to that number but I am pushing myself. I AM REALLY IN NEED OF A SUPPORT GROUP! I am a single mom of 3 Boys yes honey boys.... and I work full time. So I am doing all that I can from packing my meals for the day to preparing a list of meals and planning them ahead of time for organization and so that I dont eat things I am not susposed too. I would love to join this group if someone can tell me how to connect to it. I just happened to pass it today read a couple of post and was drawn to some of the stroies I read. I want to get to 154 pounds which is 50 pound weight loss. I pray that I can do this. My children have been in Georgia where I moved from last year over the summer so working out and eating have not been so hard but they will be back in two weeks and this will be the test. So first I need prayer then I need ideas on workouts etc. Thanks for listening it so much eaiser to do this with support!0

Hey Ravyn, I'm glad to see you back.
Shanae, your goals sound great! Awesome job on the walk. How old are your boys?
Well I've already posted my Tuesday's goals, just wanted to pop in to say: I'VE FINALLY CLEANED OUT MY DRESSER DRAWERS!! WOOOOO HOOOO That was a big deal for me as it was a goal almost all last week and I finally tackled it completely today. Also went through my daughter's closet to do inventory on her school uniforms to see what she can and cannot fit anymore. Surprisingly, she doesn't need too much as I usually buy her clothes a little big anyway. A few faded shirts need to be replaced and school socks, will pick that up this week as she starts school on Monday. Yes I said it MONDAY! I love her to death but I can't wait until things get back to normal around here!0 -
