how is everyone today

very tired!! switching from night shifts to days...blaahhhh!!! nights is so much easeir,i can exercise before work, and preparing my meals is much easier. on days i have to get up a few hrs early to get my walk/run in,a nd prepare my lunch and dinner to bring to work. (i stay away from the cafeteria there). i actually feel kinda ill these first few days of the turnaround...unless it's the flu!! lol. i actualy got sick yesturday morning, but i think it was because i ate breakfast (grapefruit & special k) and immedidately went for my run. when i got back i was sick in the shower..blahhhh!!! but i felt fine afterwards, so it must have been the unsettled food! next time i'll eat when i get back. on anoter note, i've lost 25 lbs so far, as of last wednesday...but i think i'm down a few more since then. I'm going the extra mile this week, pumping up my cardio and being strict with my eating..no coffee!! we are doing the biggest loser competition at work, and there is only a few wks left. it would be nice to win, but if i don't win the competition, i feel i still won for myself..it motivated me to start this journey and probably prolonged my life. well...i know this was an earful..sorry!! have a good day everyone....i have to head to work...bye!

I woke up with a splitting headache....took a tylenol a few minutes ago, now I'm waiting for it to work.

I have fallen off the wagon since last Monday!!! My daughter is here with her fiancee, they are both in the ARMY, stationed in Germany. I have been eating lots of junk foods. I hardly have time to log in my meals and I don't even to, too embarrassing!!!! I have continued to exercise though but the food, I don't even want to think about it!!!!!!!!!!!!! The scale???? Don't even want to see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are getting ready to go to Sea World, so lots of walking but lots of eating too!!!!! Hmm!! I guess I will just bite the bullet and enjoy my time with them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "See" you later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :laugh:

Annoyed because I went out to find a replacement protein powder since I'm sensitive to whey...well every soy powder has a crapload of sugar in it, and less protein than carbs! So I picked up an egg&milk protein powder, which was sort of pricey...well I assumed the milk protein would be casein, but it's....WHEY. I didn't even think to look at the ingredients and I was so annoyed by all the other crummy choices. So I've spent $14 on one measly pound of this stuff. :grumble: I hate returning stuff too...blah.

congrats peejbp on day 3 without cigarettes, I hope you stay strong too. Nave, I'm feeling pretty good today physcally but mentally am starting to beat on myself because my exercise standards are going to he** because I'm trying to heal the old back. How can I stop the mental part I don't know. But I am in the same boat coffee_wise as you peejbp as my daughter just made a pot of coffee. And here I am drinking peach tea.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: So far so good though.
