@cyndiesstuff btw...I get my seaweed from the local co-op. Health food stores often sell it and I am sure it is online. I have about 4-5 different seaweeds at home but this is the one I use for the detox smoothie. It hits all the right notes for me.
I am thinking about coming up with a special V-day celebration dinner. I spend so much time focusing on my food...it would be nice to have something healthy and fun. Maybe heart shape beets? I did that for a salad one year for an event that I catered. very nice.

Checking in late. I was watching that movie on Netflix with Sandra Bullock.. It was a little scary but I thought it was good. I will check in tomorrow am as usual....

@lenka1. You are so right. It took me years to learn that. Thanks for taking the time to write that post
@pacsnc6 that does sound like a great day! So many of my MFP friends are doing puzzles this time of year!
@czvanut I love how you enjoyed your snack and made sure you had a normal portion. Chips and dip can lead to mindless eating so that is a great habit to get into!
@cyndiesstuff I was thinking of that saying you posted when I was reading @lenka1’s post.BTW-that dinner looks amazing!
@eminater. Awesome loss! So your current weight is 204 I take it not 206.6. Last weeks (previous weight) was 206.6 right?
@cafeleia looks like another good day! Hope everyone starts feeling better soon!
@cassiegetsfit2013. Hope you are feeling better tomorrow. I hope the doctor can do something about that blood pressure.
@gottagetthisdown. Hope all is going well.
@lovemickeymouse the important thing is to just get back on track. Exercise is so much more than just weight loss. Do it for all the reasons it benefits your body. You can do this!

Yesterday went well. It was the first day I was not hungry. don't know if that will always happen but it certainly was nice to not be hungry from 3 oclock till dinner. But, the ole boy is sick and didn't sleep well. he tossed and turned all night poor guy. ughhh so I slept like crap!

@eminater I am confused with your weigh in. it says current weight 206.6 but then it says week 2 204 pounds. I lost. sorry. you have three lines of weights. you should only have 2. your previous weight which is week one weigh in and your current weight which is week two weigh in. can you please clear this up for me. It's a nice loss, i think. so it should look like this going forward:

@Cafelelia oh no! I am sorry the kids are ill. it certainly is going around. hope they get better quickly. ohhh I did know what it was. so it's kind of like your therapy then. I get it. lol some times im a little slow.

@CassieGetsFit2013 have you though about the foods you feed your body and their ability to help you heal your brain? I am not a specialist but I would think that you need to start working on the physical wellness of your brain. Food can be a very helpful medication for your brain. maybe see if you can get a nutritionist? I just really feel for you hun. your stuggles are hard. you hang in there and don't you give up.

@twyla77 you look at you Twyla! meeting your daily goals. great job.

@gottagetthisdown I have really missed you checking in. and that is just a small gain. you know how to do this. lets refocus today. spend some time working out a daily plan you can commit to. you will get this done.

@lovemickeymouse first off love the profile pic. now as for falling off the wagon. this is a normal part of the process. it is what you learn when you fall that will help you from doing it again. really analyze why you fell. write it down. work a plan on paper of what you will do next time differently. you need to try and stop the down fall before it happens. what were the early warning signs that you were going to fall? these can be clues to help you stop it before it starts. and what you are speaking of happens to all of us. I call it the slippery slope. once you start heading down it it is to slippery to get back up and you keep sliding. the key to to stop the slip before it happen and then what you do in response to the thought of slipping. for instance, last night my fiancé made butter popcorn, it smelled delicious. I felt the urge. the feeling. the trigger. I immediate pulled out my emergency plan. a note card I keep posted on my frig. what to do when I feel I am slipping. it is a list of things I can go instead to change my mind. I drink tea, or have a crispy veggie snack, or leave the room, or take a walk. anything to change my mind. maybe you should make your emergency plan.

@sleepymom5 what movie is that?

@Ashleigh1178 omgosh!!! that is awesome. nice way to get back on track. byby holidays. look out 2019 here we come!! please read the post above it addresses your issue as well. this is not a unknown thing! this is one of the main reasons we all have a problem with our weight in the first place. so read @lovemickeymouse response above. maybe you and her become friends and use each other as part of your emergency plan.

@czvanut first of all thanks for loving and teaching our children. and what a wonderful nsv. you are really changing to a more healthy way of coping with the love you feel for your children. good job girl.

@amsandos we all want you to be around when you are older too. it is so important to take care of your childs mother. she needs you in her life. just a suggestion on your pizza night. I, before I started on my new eating plan, would eat pizza. I have a favorite pizza joint. ohhh their pizza is so good. I would eat a huge salad first before the pizza came. then allow myself 2 slices and I would drink water. great job on the preplanning. preplanning is the road to success.

@phoebe112476 omgoooosh another 2 pounds down. that is awesome. keep that up girl. you are doing great.
