Happy Tuesday everyone!! I hope it’s been a good week so far. My weekend was good. I kept my carbs in check and was much better balanced. I was kid free (Woo Hoo!!). My son was in Disney with his high school chorus. I had a very nice Friday night with my guy friend then Saturday was normal weekend stuff like laundry and…

Whew. . . where do my days go? As soon as I’m ready to catch up, I just can’t find enough time in my day. I miss the daily posts, but just can’t get on every day like I would like. I’ve definitely learned my weekends are my carb days. Monday thru Friday I’m rocking it, but the weekends not so good. I need to change that…

Happy Tuesday Everyone!!! All is well and the weekend was good. I definitely know weekends are my downfall. I was better this weekend than last weekend, but I have to stay the course 7 days a week. I cannot let 2 days derail the great job I’m doing Monday thru Friday. Weight is still stalled, but I know I’m eating right…

Thursday Truth: I’m so glad tomorrow is Friday. It’s been a tough week at work. I know I’m new to many of you even though I was in this group for almost 3 years. I was absent for the past year so a LOT of new faces. I work for the corporate office of Honey Baked Ham. We have food cuttings ALL the time. Today was pumpkin…

Happy Tuesday!! I hope everyone is having a good week so far. The past week was OK. I’m hitting my exercise goals and for the most part my food tracking is fine too. I keep hitting stalls/plateaus, but I know it’s just part of this journey. Our bodies often have a mind of their own and I think mine is holding onto every…

Happy Monday!!! Where did the weekend go? Saturday was just cleaning and laundry. Yuck! Sunday was 5 hours in the office. Yuck again. Needless to say, nothing fun this past weekend. Eating was fine. I didn’t really exercise since I cleaned house and needed a recovery day from my weekly workouts. Scale is super slow right…

HIT/METCON kicked my derrière this morning. Somehow I was in a group with 5 tough guys. I couldn't quite keep up, but it did make me push myself harder. 35 minutes of my HR around 165+. This week has been good. 4 work outs. Eating was good. Feeling stronger every day. Life is good. Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!! Keep…

@pneschich - Woo Hoo!!! I know you've been waiting awhile and for it to be happening so fast I'm sure there's a little nervousness. I'm 3 months post op and truly do not regret my decision after YEARS of battling and the roller coast of gains and losses. Please remember you're just getting a tool. You still have to use…

Thank goodness today is Hump Day, but I’m about to lose it. I hate, hate, hate all things Apple. If you forget a password, passcode, the security features STINK. I hate going to the store, which is only in the mall. I hate the mall. Without wiping everything out, there should be an easier way to get into YOUR account. I…

It’s hard to believe January is wrapping up already. 2017 is moving so fast. It’s so true when they say the older you get the time just seems to fly by. Weekend was good. Last week was a blur between work and evening activities so my house was a disaster zone. I cleaned all day Saturday and tackled laundry. Sunday was a…

Happy Hump Day!!! I hope everyone has a GREAT day. It was chilly this morning for Atlanta around 30, but bright and sunny day ahead hopefully high 60’s/low 70’s. Perfect day!!! I’ve had a decent week. Works really picked up with projects, RFP’s, and product cuttings, but trying to push through. Date night tonight with a…

Happy Monday!! I hope everyone had a great weekend. We had rain ALL weekend, but the Atlanta Falcons won the NFC Championship so our city is happy. I’m not a big football fan so I guess I really didn’t care one way or the other, but it’s good for the city. @Misnomer – While you may not have felt great about the Baked…

Hello everyone! My name is Susan and I was part of this thread for about 2 years, but life just got busy and it’s been quite some time. I see a lot of new faces, but definitely some from the past too and look forward to getting to know you. Since I’m on the computer ALL day at work, when I get home at night I just don’t…

Where did this day go?? It’s been a LONG one with work at 6:45 a.m., made myself take a half hour lunch, but it was at my desk (not good) and I’m still working plus I have a vendor dinner tonight. Sigh. I’m definitely partaking in an adult beverage (or two). Eating was OK, but ate more at lunch than I should have knowing I…

Happy Monday!!! I hope everyone had a good weekend. I think winter has finally hit many of us. It was COLD for us in the south. Luckily, we don’t normally get the white stuff, but temps were very chilly. Overall, I had a good weekend. Eating was OK for the most part. I just didn’t log so I need to get back in the habit of…

Happy Friday Everyone!! I don’t know about you, but I’m so glad the weekend is here. This has been a LONG week at work. I guess with the crazy holiday schedules and being so sick over Christmas this was my first full week back. It’s been exhausting, but thankful for my job. Yesterday was not a good food day. I need to…

Happy Hump Day!!! I’ve never been one to make wishes on Wednesday, but I believe ALL of us have one common one today – LOTTERY! I guess I have to play to win so I may spend a $1. LOL!!! Yesterday was OK. Still no exercise, but it will come soon. Food was OK for the most part. I had a cheese vendor so had to do some…

Happy Tuesday Everyone!!!! So far so good. Of course, I forgot about a cheese vendor this morning and was sampling various cheeses. YUM! Luckily, they were little cubes, but still tried to keep count the best I could. Plus, a couple were made from yogurt so hopefully those were even better for me. LOL!!! At least it’s not…

As I was catching up on the past pages, I was reading everyone's 2016 goals. I had been working on mine and doing some fine tuning. I may tweak them as the month goes along, but these are definitely some of the areas I want to focus on this year. Thank you again for your friendship and support. You guys are truly the…

@beckyboo8504 - Hey Becky!! Welcome!!! I just sent you a friend request. I was reading your post and it hit home in so many ways. Now I've got about 17 years on you as I'm 47, but I'm also a single mom too. My son is 13 though. Years ago I was under 200 pounds twice, but didn't lose it a healthy way or was not mentally…

Happy 2016!!! I don't even know where to start, but I've truly missed you guys beyond words. My last login was back in late October when things on the relationship side spiraled out of control. This dating stuff STINKS! Needless to say, I've learned a lot about life, relationships (good and bad), some not so honest people,…

Happy Monday Everyone!!! I hope everyone had a nice weekend. What a beautiful weekend we had in Atlanta with blue skies, sunshine and no rain. Of course, I was inside a lot purging closets. Temperatures have dropped and I really needed to switch out the spring/summer to fall/winter clothing. I realized Cyrus has NO pants…

Happy Hump Day!!! I’m so glad I’m at the halfway point. Once again I’m feeling exhausted. I haven’t checked in either and got off track once again. I know this is a pattern. When I’m not eating well, sleeping, exercising, tracking, being accountable, I feel like crap. Imagine that??!!! It’s time to get back on track. On…

Yesterday was rough. My boss was fuming rightfully so. He’s got another department head trying to put him and our department under the bus. They wanted something in stores by end of October, but we were never told that date just for holiday, which is Nov/Dec. This is what I was planning and it’s on track for mid-November.…

Monday Check-In: Last week was a LONG week and I’m just plain exhausted. I’ve known this, but I think the past week definitely reiterated that I don’t handle stress well and totally eat when my life is out of whack. I think I mentioned my friend Greg was in the hospital. It turns out he had pneumonia and found out the…

Monday Check-In: Well, so much for my good weekend. As it turns out, my friend Greg was admitted to the hospital Friday night. He found out Saturday AM he has pneumonia. I went to the hospital Friday night to take his son home to pack a bag than take him to his mom’s. Saturday AM I got a cut, full color and partial…

TGIF!!! Week has been good for the most part, but I’m really glad the weekend is here. Work has been busy, but good. Eating was clean up until yesterday. I’ve put the last 24-hours behind me and going to stay on track this weekend. Exercise has been minimal, but I need to be careful so I don’t keep aggravating my heel. For…

OMG!!! What is my problem? The last 24-hours I’ve been Miss Piggy and eating everything in sight. WHY??!! This will stop immediately. I need a solid day tomorrow and a good weekend. I’ve got this. @Kah68 – Kelly, yes, this is the same pain. It’s basically my right foot on the back of my heel. Not the bottom. I have got to…
