Flying by. Home from my daughters this weekend to work a couple overtime shifts. Helping with twin newborns and a nearly two year old is very busy!! But I lost a couple pounds that I had gained over Christmas and am at 16 pounds lost. Not much in the scheme of needing to lose 120 but a loss is a loss! Have to rest before…

Hanging on by a thread Karen

Just curious- why so few calories. Just a fly by here. Assisting with looking after twins and a 22 mo old takes a lot of time and is exhausting! Managing to stay on track so I hope to see a loss when I go home tomorrow for one night shift. Keep strong Karen in BC

Machka- what wonderful pics to savour!! So sorry for your loss. I love looking back at pics of my maternal grandmother. She was a fiesty little French Canadian woman who took no grief from anyone!! Rebecca- those windows are scary!! Hope they look better after. Time for a nap before my 12 hr night shift. Hope it is not too…

I think I will try and find that book ‘100 days of weight loss’. Looks like some great ideas in there to get at the root cause of weight problems. Upsetting family news this morning but I came on here before binge eating and was able to get my head on straight. Decided I don’t want to do the few errands I need to do today.…

Got some distressing family news early this morning and was sitting finishing my coffee and thinking about all the things I was going to eat. Stopped myself and came here to read instead. Whew! Caught myself just in time before I ruined my day. Thank you!! Still having to periodically drain the driveway but I think the…

Tough crazy busy shift last night. Felt totally out of control and was craving junk food and chocolate. I refused to go looking for any and kept to my prepared snacks and finished yesterday under calories and did not sabotage myself the rest of the night. Sure does help me to read and think about the postings here so keep…

Got home from work this morning and had to spend 30 min draining the driveway with the sump pump cause the water was up over the top of my gumboots. Just what I wanted to do after a crazy 12 hr shift. Last evening was so busy I was craving junk food and chocolate but refused to go searching for some cause it would blow my…

Back on track today. Now off to night shift!! Karen in BC

Back on track today. Not the best choices but within calories. We will see how this night shift goes! Karen

Time to get my shite together and start being consistent. Perhaps that should be my word for 2019 Karen in BC

Way too crazy with the season, shift work, new twin grandsons etc Will get my act together after jan 7 Do the best you can Karen

Feel like a one armed paper hanger these days with the season, shift work and new twin grandsons. Will have more time after jan 7. Stay focussed. Karen

Trisha - so very sorry to hear of your son and DIl’s loss. Such a difficult time

Trisha- I agree, it is hard to figure out why we keep going around in circles. Back to work tomorrow after 2 weeks off. I am sure I will be exhausted!! Off to do battle with my sewing machine then an early night for me as 5:45 am comes early Karen in BC

Had to leave my grand babies and come home to get ready for work tomorrow. Boo hiss. Went out for sushi tonight and stayed within my limit Now to do battle with my sewing machine! Karen in BC

I would not go near a store on he weekend these days!! Feeling the munchies right now. Time for some good crunchy celery. Finally started sewing my grandsons quilts. So far have only sewn one out of 28 strips backwards!! Keep on Karen in BC

Lisa in AR- food is my ‘go to’ cooing mechanism as well. Doesn’t matter if I am happy, sad, mad or glad The only way I can keep it under control is to stick with my plan before I am feeling out of control. Then I don’t want to sabotage my good work so may only have a small healthy snack. Finally working on grandsons quilt.…

I hear ya. Try having a glass of water before you put something in your mouth. I also chew gum to keep food out One good decision at a time Karen in BC

Took 22 mo old out for a walk today- man is he fast!! Picked up sticks and threw them in the little river and had lots of fun. Supposed to be sewing quilts for the twin babies but having much more fun cuddling them. SIL brought out the ketchup chips but I limited myself to one cup and counted it in my total for the day…

Dang. Wrote a whole paragraph then lost it. Finishing my wine and then going to bed Stay strong. Karen in BC

Bump

Wow. It has rained so much I now have lakefront property!!

My win for the day was spending 2 hours shopping and NOT buying myself some chocolate on the way out. Yay! Karen in BC

Wow. Not the best time of year for a shock like that! Hope it all works out. I live in the lower mainland of BC where there is another very wet storm moving in today with rainfall warnings. That will be a nice change. Not. My win for the day was going to grandparents day at the kids school and not eating all the goodies as…

This is the story of my life. I am a terrible sleeper when I have have lots to do! Staying on track is paying off for me as I have lost 13 pounds since I started in early Nov. I just need a plan for all the Christmas goodies to avoid! Keeping on Karen in BC

Guess staying on track pays off. I am down 13 pounds since I started back here. Yes I too fall off the wagon but ,as Theresa says. It no longer turns into a month long binge. I come to MFP to read that others are doing this and you all inspire me! Keep on Karen in BC

Sounds like a dream vacation to me! Karen in soggy, flooded BC

So not in the Christmas spirit. I have never liked Christmas and have not one thing out in my house to show the season. At home for a few days to house clean and babysit sons dogs. Must get rest of shopping done then to other grandkids school for grandparents day on wed. Back to my daughters on wed to help with her three…

Dang. Drank too much rye and put me over my calories for the day. Home for a couple days to babysit sons dogs while he is out of town. Going to other grandkids school on wed for grandparents day. Hope to finish Christmas shopping and house cleaning tomorrow so hopefully a bit of exercise. I have looked at Noon but always…
