14again

Last night after logging in my dinner, I closed my diary for the day. I then went to my second job, where there were a whole bunch of chocolate candies out on the counter. The supervisor there is a teeny little woman who is always putting out candy, cookies, etc. and of course I can never resist it when it's just sitting…

I live in Minnesota. Although most winters are usually snowy and cold, last winter unusually warm and dry. We had a brown Christmas and my kids who came home from out of state were very disappointed. Now this year, we will have plenty of snow and they are going sailing in the Caribbean :laugh: I just ordered them a bunch…

Well, we got about a foot of snow here today so far, so my exercise has been shoveling the drive, over and over again. It's still coming down pretty heavily. Besides the exercise, the other advantage is that my husband (is that what a DH is?) decided to eat at home today instead of braving the roads to go to the…

I weighed in this morning, and I'm down a pound. I've been over my calories every day this week, and have been so busy i didn't exercise, but I still lost! (I like to think that the busy-ness itself is exercise!). I think it's because I am just doing much more mindful eating, knowing that I will be putting down everything…

Just want to check in. I've had two very busy days, and haven't logged every bite, but i didn't go too far off the rails. I didn't have time to exercise either day, though, and I really miss that. I have been going for long hikes in the woods at our local arboretum since our weather had been so temperate (55 degrees in…

I'm glad to find out what "bump" means, too. I should have done it yesterday. Sundays are always a total loss for me because that's the day that my husband likes to eat out, and his favorite place is the all-you-can-eat buffet. Since I have no willpower, I always go and stuff myself, all the while telling myself "You…

Actually, the "14again" refers to my hope to become a SIZE 14 again! I just had to go out and buy two new pairs of size 18 pants, because the 16's won't zip up anymore. I was putting it off as long as I could, hoping that I could lose weight just by wishing, but it didn't happen.

I'm also new at this - not sure if I'm doing it right. But i would like to follow a group to keep me motivated through the holidays. I'm 62, and feeling my age more than I want to. My biggest downfall is cookies, and my first holiday party is next week already. I'm going to try to put that saying about "what I want most"…

I'd like to try! My first holiday party is next week, and I need motivation.
