Hi All- Been MIA for a bit...really just been binging - like over the top. I won't even list it all. I think I mentioned I moved back to my old job/town. I also have moved back to old habits- just lots of indulgences and not moving. I decided that to get back into the swing I need to just take things back a notch- so cut…

So Baskin Robins brought back German Chocolate Cake Ice Cream for the fall time. Need I say more-

TGIT! I couldnt wait till Friday. Having a rough day. Was up last night with work worries on my mind. Just feeling very incompetent. I returned to my old job where i had known everything and in the 3 years I have moved away, all new systems and procedures have changed so I am really out of the loop and now I did something…

Hi All- Thanks for the encouragement. Did skinny vanilla latte today- but trying to stop them completely. Lunch is served at work - Chicken, mashed pot., broccoli and salad. Had ranch dressing though. Finally finally finally exercised. Did a Zumba class. First time ever. Have not exercised in about 3 years and now with an…

Hi All- Once again- off the wagon. Didnt go to WW meeting either. Didnt want to WI. That experience 2 weeks ago really has stuck with me. Signed up for Zumba (first time) Monday 7pm. I'm done with Starbucks. I OD'd on it this weekend. I got some food ready for dinners -- going to do an egg fritata. got some tomatos and…

Wow- that was a nice HELLO this morning Lana! It made my day to scroll down to this picture. Hope you are feeling better Not doing great on my food. Just binging and not exercising. Need to get my act together-

Morning All- Remembering my family and friends today in NY. Always a sad day but one I have noticed the younger generation does not know about. I guess I kind of understand- when I was a kid my parents would always say- you know what today is (on Dec 7th) and then be upset that we had no idea it was Pearl Harbor. Went to a…

Hi- Lana- How are you feeling? THinking of you! Dawn- I actually have this app that keeps track for you (well actually you have to do a little work- you need to put in day 1). lol Sara- Very warm night - didnt get a good sleep in at all. So tired today 25- I know we had a short week with the holiday Monday but it still…

25- I am not sure what you are taking it for..but I wish something would have that side effect on me!! Was your hair thinning hormonally? Mine is a mix of hormones and thyroid.

Hi- DIdn't feel as bad as I expected after the bowl of pasta. I'm glad I got my vitamins and added Magnesium (which I've been told to take at night as it causes bathroom visits) also got some vitamins and special shampoo for my hair. Not sure how old you all are but I guess I am perimenopausal so my hair has been thinning…

Went to Kohls as some stuff was on sale. Needed a few longer sleeve shirts now that I moved north from LA. Ugh, I am an extra large in Sonoma (which is cut generous). So in my disguest I came home and at a big bowl of pasta. What did I do that was good though... i bought vitamins and will be making my food for the week.

Hi All- Lana- glad to see you posting. Hope you are feeling better. I didn't mean leave WW the program, I meant going to meetings and switching back to just online tools. I am actually going to try Wednesday's instead. I think one thing that has been a challenge in general is that I moved back to my town after 3 years and…

Morning- Lana- rest up and take care of yourself. it takes some time for you to heal and be back to yourself.be kind to yourself and dont worry about that scale right now. Sara- Oh, I so love tapioca! I went to my meeting today and I have to say...i'm just not feeling it. First of all I've been out every Friday night and…

Morning All- Ate a bit more than I should have for my nightime meal. Started ok (eggplant grilled with tomato and slice of fresh mozzarella) then I decided to take a slice of whole wheat tortilla (still ok) and add some fresh tomato and cheese to make a pizza- i probably could have skipped it. The only yay for me was that…

Chamie- I must have missed something on the tracking.. what site are you talking about that will estimate your weight in 5 weeks? i dont know if that will be helpful or depressing lol Sara- what meditation apps? Geez, I feel like I missed a chapter before the big test! LOL!!!

Happy Wednesday! One day closer to a 3 day weekend!!! Sara- Im not sure if I mentioned this already but I had been sleeping 3hours a night with my old job/life. 3 years like that. I am now sleeping a solid 7 hours and what a difference. I never realized how important sleep is. I think you can go for a few days/weeks like…

Morning All- Sara- Since we are on the topic : ) . I noticed the same thing about keeping those items in the house. I am having my main (big) meal at work around 1pm. At night it has been super light but I am not feeling hungry either. I think that has helped with my sleep- the not going to be feeling stuffed and…

Morning- Lana- Hope you are having a good Monday and feeling better. Hugs to you! Chamie- You are me!!! There is one chair off in the corner and I sit there. I just try to smile and be part of the group but not feeling it. I also feel like half the time they are just trying to get you to buy the products. It just isnt…

Hi All- Missed a few days- I had logged out and could not find my username/passwords. Ugh- Anyway... went to meeting on Saturday up 1lb. I have to say, I have not had much success going to meetings than online. I will do the 3 months and then stop. I joined a gym and its 44$ a month so I rather pay out just that, than…

Morning All- Went to happy hour last night. Had one Mojito and apps that turned into dinner. Carb heavy but I only had a bit. Lunch yesterday (guess on Wednesday they put out a snack of these delicious chocolate chip cookies). Was polenta, broccolini and curry chicken. So I had a heavy lunch and then apps for dinner. Dont'…

Hi Crazy busy day- Working on the main meal at lunch and checking the menu before. Joined the gym Monday. Tuesday I just sat on the couch : ). Today I am going out for happy hour so that will be tricky. Sara- I am now back at my old/new job and the politics are the same. I just keep my head down and try to avoid all the…

Arniedog- I just found out that you can do it without money too! You can just have the other person (referree) be your check in.

6 is a sweet age-- enjoy that time. : )

Lana- Yay- so happy to see your "peep" Big hug and smile! Sara- Cat's at midnight? Ugh Annie - How are the first days of college going? (both son and husband). Had a rough go here. Had to let our Network Admin go- then everyone is back and problems with wifi etc etc. Ugh. Anyway. Gee, 7th grade is such a hard year.…

Sara- I was thinking of putting that image on my phone somewhere I can access easily and when I think of eating, I can look at that. Instead of the picture where I look amazing, maybe the - holy crap I look real bad is more of a motivation.

Lana- wanted to send a separate post for you so you dont' have to read my pity party post : ) THinking of you today and know you are in good hands at MSK. Big Hug! Jen-

Hi All- Trying to be on a positive food week. Really ate poorly the last week and felt it. Last night especially. I flew up from San Diego and went to lunch with a friend and had 2 drinks (espresso martinis) and that of course made me want to munch. BUT...the big thing that happened was I posed for a group photo and let me…

Hi All- Trying to find the menu for the week for what our lunch service is. Last week, Thursday was all carb day. Lots of pasta. Thinking of finally lighting this barb q that I bought and grilling some veggies. Just got back from San Diego so not really feeling like doing much. Tired. Long weekend- Hope all is well Lana-…

Hello All- Lana come visit when you can- no need to write but know that we are all thinking of you and sending out the best vibes to you. I don't know how many of your are vertically challenged. I stand at 5.2' but I think I'm shrinking due to bad posture. I look at my aunt who is in her 80s and I swear she is about 2 feet…

Hi All- Lana- Get those cabana boys to bring over a bloody mary my way! Sara- I worked with someone who made me crazy and part of me returning to my new/old job was that this person is no longer here in my department sitting feet away from me. It makes a world of a difference when one bad apple leaves the bunch. Go…
