    My daughter and I had an evening without commitments. We went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. I ate 2 rolls, but kept everything else healthy! It was yummy, and we enjoyed the night out!

    Tomorrow - no rolls!!

    I did work out tonight too.

    I need to stop with the sweets. I crave them so much, and I keep finding myself in situations where there are a lot of sweet unhealthy things around me. When I'm at my house I do well, my boyfriend and I will cook every night and we don't buy junk food when we grocery shop. But the other day I went to my parents and was just surrounded by sweet treats. I do the "all or nothing" kind of eating where I either eat super healthy, or binge on sweets. Once I've had that first cookie all bets are off. Started going to the gym this week and while I definitely hate it while I'm doing it, I can't deny the wonderful high I get after exercising. Had my brother and his girlfriend over for dinner last night and they brought a pie for desert ! I had a piece but stopped myself from having another. I wish he had taken the pie home with him but he didn't. I'm worried the next time I feel sad or emotional I'm going to finish off the half that is left in the fridge.

    Welcome to all the newbies!

    This has been a good month for me. The only May goal I’ve missed is one healthy new recipe a week; however, I have cooked more at home. Still need to try some new stuff!!

    Sweets are a huge problem for me too. I usually go for sugar-free gum or sugar-free Jolly Ranchers.

    Been a beyond stresses lately and my depression has spiked,so i guess eating an entire pack of mini chocolate dougnuts didnt help(the ones that are packaged like a row of 8?for $1-2/. Hopefully i made up for it today by deep cleaning my entire place and decluttering.Def felt good after! I just get discouraged also when i log all my food/exercise in,and I see"if you eat like this etc.etc youll weigh(alot less)in 5 weeks ",yet i keep going up and down the same 3-4 lbs

    Hey everyone-
    Just found this group and I look forward to reading the entries. I find it so important to have support and find inspiration.

    May is almost over but I did set some goals for myself:
    1) Add more exercise to my weekly plan. I was going to swim aerobics once a week and working out at home the rest of the time. So for May I added a second water aerobics class and next week I am starting a Stretch and Strength class. I still walk the dog, use the elliptical and do yoga at home.
    2) Work on lowering my carb intake. I was diagnosed with diabetes in April and I met with a dietitian. When I first found out how many carbs I was able to eat per meal, I thought 'there is no way'. Now, a month later, I am finding ways to lower my carbs and my cravings have decreased dramatically.
    3) Set aside more time for me. I have worked hard, taken care of the kids, the family, etc. Didn't focus much on myself. Since I was diagnosed I have decided that it is time for me! No guilt allowed (that has been hard for me though). This week I actually treated my self to a 90 minute anti-again facial. It was wonderful.
    4) I know losing weight is important but I want to focus on how I feel, how my body feels rather than focusing on just the numbers. So I have decided to only weigh myself once a month.

    Now I have to decided what my June goals will be.

    Everyone keep up the good work. I know it is hard but look how many people are in the same boat. We've got this!

    HAHA, I DID IT!! 500 SQUATS!!
    I even have proof! I know the score is dismal but I was less concerned about points than just finishing.

    I made my goal of 5 days this week of walking on the treadmill (actually am gonna go for 30min+ here in a a little while to make it 6/7 days this week).

    I've kept close to the 96oz water everyday this week. I've been off work since Thursday and I tend not to do well when I'm home all day.

    Snacking, I haven't done so well with. While I did log everything I've ate and managed to stay within my allotment for the day, I've snacked way too much these last 4 days.

    I'm not sure what goals I should set this week. We're taking the kids to Disneyland Tuesday thru Friday, and while I know there is going to be a lot of walking, there may also be a lot of food. Luckily the hotel we are staying at has free breakfast, and we've stayed there before so I know what to expect to eat.

    Goals: Use treadmill 3-4/7 days this week (can use treadmill before we leave, depending on the time we leave). Log all foods as best as possible. Keep up on drinking water. Try not to gain too much while gone.

    Keep it up everybody!

    Well, that sure didn't go as planned. It's the month of my college exams and I'm preparing to fly across the country this week for a family reunion. No wonder I've found myself stress binging.

    No weight loss this week and I put back on the 2lbs lost the previous week. So now I'm back at my plateau point again. But do we throw in the towel because of a dissapointing week? Goodness no!

    Short term goals: Stay within my calorie goal (1300+exercise), be active daily, eat 3 regular well-rounded meals daily. Don't let my family stuff my silly at the reunion!

    It's going to be another hectic one, but I'll give it my best. Thanks for the inspiration everyone :~)

    I have to admit today was not a healthy food day! My mom wanted bratwurst for a Memorial Day picnic. My mom has been sick, so what my 80 year old mama wants; mama gets!

    Just pick it up where I left off tomorrow!!
