csofled sometimes we have to think with our minds and not our emotions. But darn if those emotions don't rule me sometimes. You've done a great job logging for a whole year! Impressive. Kimses in MA

Godmomkim I haven't been measuring so I'm pretty sure it's portion sizes causing the problem. Plus I don't think my love of salt is helping. I kind of gave up yesterday although it wasn't a complete surrender. It was one of those mindsets of I'm going to just eat what I want and I'll start fresh again tomorrow. It's hard…

Glowormin Season 4 of House of Cards was released yesterday. I have a deal with myself I won't watch it unless I'm on the elliptical. I'm pretty frustrated this week. I worked out hard for at least an hour each day and my weight it up 2 lbs. This happens to me consistently and the only thing I can think of is my portion…

Barbie Nice going on keeping up with your routine even when in a hotel Beth bit by a spider? Yikes. Did you swell up? Becca and Beth I'm sure as heck staying away from soda after that conversation. Spent the afternoon at the casino. Won $90 on the slots and cashed out quickly. We aren't big gamblers, so started with $40…

Good morning - going back to the bento box discussion, I bought a reusable one with a chill pack on Amazon yesterday. I'm thinking about when I go back to work on the 14th. Then I looked up bento boxes on YouTube and there were some great ideas there...like little kebabs and pinwheels. I love the idea. Today my husband is…

Hi spirited old farts....lmao!

HI -- regarding "cheating"...I think it's subjective. If I weigh in and do okay, I'll have whole wheat pancakes with banana and real syrup. That's not a bad food combo. It's just a calorie dense food I don't have every day. And it makes me happy. So rather than cheating, maybe there is a different word. Maybe "allowance".…

Hi everyone - just stopping by for a quick hello. I've been trying to use my unemployed time productively (but am going a little stir crazy). I've done P90x3 on Mon/Tues/Wed. Also added in the elliptical. For today, 30 min P90x, 40 min elliptical....then later in the day another 30 min on the elliptical. Yesterday cleaned…

Good morning -- Just catching up. I spent the weekend painting a room in our summer house. 4 hours on Saturday and 3 hours on Sunday and I was exhausted. Who knew painting could be so tiring. Hubbie didn't like the color I picked, but I do and I did the painting...sooooooo it stays. Feeling unmotivated today and watching…

Penny---thanks so much. Rebooting is a great idea. Clean slate. I was swimming today and thinking that "I can do this at 6 am and be on my way to work by 7". Maybe I can be the one that brings in fruit instead of donuts! This has got to be easier than spending alternate weeks in New York City. Swam 40 laps today ... about…

Thank you, Ladies. I was cracking up reading through the comments. There is definitely a lot of wisdom here. - walk past the snack table - find times of the day where time is being wasted and use it for myself - start going to bed early now so I'm not in shock when I have to do it for real - keep an eye out for…

Hi-- just stopping in to say that I've landed a new job and start on the 14th. So that's a relief. Funny though, that my main concern is how I'm going to find time to exercise! For the first time in 10 years I have to go back into an office. I think I'll have to get up early and workout. Just gotta suck it up! I'm…

Janet Thanks for the inspiration.

I'm back in the swing of things. That was a nasty cold (not totally gone yet). Now...to stay healthy for a while! 30 min P90X3 and 40 min on the elliptical. No way I can keep up with this thread :smiley: Fingers crossed for tomorrow -- I have an "offer discussion" call for a new job. I'm not planning on anything until I…

Howdy everyone. Still dealing with this chest cold and now my husband and son have it. Not much working out going on, but I'm down 1.5 this week. Maybe I'll get some yoga in today. Mary My daughter who is home from college saw the picture of Shep and now is on my back to get a new dog! That little guy is pretty adorable.…

Hi everyone, I'm kind of down and out with a bad chest cold (again...seems like I've been sick a lot this winter). But the picture of Shep made me happy! Didn't do much today. Will check in tomorrow. Kimses in MA

DrKatiebug Aside from the blueberry ...lol... when you take a class you are at the mercy of the instructor. Maybe other people are happy with doing odd exercises for their core. I know personal training is expensive but that's the best way to get a program designed for what you want. I've done this in the past and just…

Just popping in for a moment. Yesterday I was feeling lousy so stayed on the couch all day which I allowed myself since it was a crazy busy weekend. I'm getting back on track today and am about to go do my exercise then prep for two phone interviews today. I'm reading the latest book by Christiane Northrup and wanted to…

silly me...I posted in the January thread. I was reading back and thought "this stuff sounds familiar". At least I know my memory is ok! ---- Hi -- I've been away for 3 days looking at colleges for my son, so I am way off track right now. I'm going to take today off from everything as I have a sore throat and two…

Hi -- I've been away for 3 days looking at colleges for my son, so I am way off track right now. I'm going to take today off from everything as I have a sore throat and two interviews tomorrow, so I just want to rest up. I'll catch up on the thread. Kimses in MA

Michele That sounds totally screwed up. Therapists are supposed to facilitate a conversation, not pass judgement. I spent plenty of time blaming my parents for stuff, but a good therapist helped me accept responsibility for my own actions and move past that. Anyway, I'm sorry you have to deal with this...and over skype no…

Gee Becca, I'm glad you clarified that you were hungry and cranky. LOL..... But honestly, I get it like everyone on this board does.

Swam 50 laps this morning. Now am sitting by the fire taking it easy. I'm closing in on a few jobs with final interviews next week, so I'm feeling optimistic. I haven't had time to get bored yet and think I could get used to not working. 5 more years! Kimses in MA

Guess which dinner is mine? There would have been a day when I chowed down on those spaghetti and meatballs and gone back for seconds. Kimses in MA

Lisa you sound pretty happy today! :) More snow here in MA today. I love it, but then again, I don't have to go anywhere. I realized that I hadn't been very good logging with planning out my food for the day and then it occurred to me that since I had to send my Mac back to my previous company, I have to use the desktop…

Hi Ladies, I've been on the go all day. Just finished working on a presentation I have to do for an interview. Took me almost 3 hours. Geesh...I feel like I work there already. Unbelievable the things companies put you through. I've had 7 interviews so far with 1 company. Anyway, it's good to have that amount of activity.…

KJLamore I'll investigate more into tapping. I do love aroma therapy. A little orange oil rubbed between your palms and through your hair in the morning is very uplifting. I had taken a workshop in aromatherapy that explained how bad things like scented candles are for you and the plug-in air fresheners (unless using…

Janet Thinking of you and your family today. The pain must be unfathomable with this being the second son to be lost. On another note, I was watching Christiana Northrup this morning talking about EFT / Tapping. Has anyone tried that? Seems kind of hocus-pocus to me, but I've always admired her work so that lends credence…

Hi everyone - I did 30 minutes P90x3 and 30 minutes of the elliptical. The Biggest Loser Challenge is keeping me accountable, which is a very good thing. Got about a foot of snow today. So pretty out. Kimses in MA

That's quite a serious workout!
