Ok I hope I'm caught up enough to log my food again everyday. It amazes me how much more I eat when I'm not logging. I guess it's an accountability issue. Nicole -- glad to meet you, love the proverb. Laurie- thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to try it. Kelly-- sorry to hear about your back. Hope it gets better soon.…

Well this week has not been so good. I have had so much homework I haven't had time to log my food. I think I am eating to put off doing my homework. I tried doing other things but then I feel guilty. One good thing is it has been cooler. Kris -- very cool! Love the colors Kaye-- great job doing all that exercising.…

Ok I definitely think I am toooooo old for this school stuff. I know it's summer but I am having a hard time keeping up. I know it will be worth it but jeez. Went a little off track Sunday, we had joint family birthday parties. It was fun. Robin--wish you were my neighbor cause I hate to iron. My grandma use to make me…

Had a going away lunch for one of the girls at work. It's always hard to resist the good food. I did stay away from the sweets, but ate 2 servings of macaroni salad. School is a little overwhelming so I hope it slows down a bit. Laurie -- wow what a complement! Can't complain about that at all. Hope you ave fun at the…

Well out of school for two days. I'm trying to catch up on laundry and such. I read the post of what everybody does in a day and I feel like a slug. I keep saying I'm going to exercise but just havent drug my butt off the couch to do it. It is much easier to play candy Kris-- I hope you get some good news at your drs appt.…

Sitting here thinking about all I ate yesterday. Way too much. Didn't even bother to log it. Mackbeth- I always thought I might want to do a hike but after reading about yours I don't think so. I think I will stick to reading about it how do you follow someone on a trail while they are hiking? Kris-- sorry you are having…

Sitting here thinking about getting a Fitbit. Would love to hear comment on this. Thinking of what to eat for supper and feeling guilty for wanting mexican food. Kaye glad you are home sounds like you are doing well. Hope everyone is having a good day

Well it's almost the 4th, just ting to figure out what to do food wise. I finished my last research paper for one of my online classes so I only have one left to work on over the weekend. It's always a lonely holiday for me because I'm not fond of fireworks nd my husband can't seem to do without them. So I sit here by…

Well finally back. Last weekend my Internet was out then I was off to El Paso (or Hell Paso) for work. It was a mere 107. Kaye-- sounds like your progress is great! Robin-- sorry to hear about your issues. I work in a hospital lab and we no longer use band aids or tape. We use something called coban. I know the have it at…

Well I have been MIA for awhile. I have been logging just not posting. It has been really crazy. Had to try and get the house to where people could stay for my son's high school graduation. Got almost all of it done but the so called electrician wired my new oven wrong and it blew the boards. That is how this whole remodel…

Well I started to post last night until we had to take shelter from a tornado scare. Everything is ok just some hail and wind damage. Just been a crappy week all the way around. MOwMOw -- sorry about the food situation. Hopefully you can fins something to satisfy you. Des--hang in there. You have come so far! In time you…

First I want to thank anyone that has served or has a family member that has served. Happy birthday Robin! Hope its a great day for you.. tlh -- thanks for the info about Zumba. Heard it was a great class. I may look into that next month. Alison-- you are really putting me to shame with all that exercise. Lol. It's really…

Hi everyone Toots-- I understand your hesitation, maybe look for a place like this online and read what all people are saying. I'm sure they would share both the pros and cons. Robin-- sorry about your friends husband, how scary even if it is not cancer Kaye-- sounds like a wonderful birthday, especially the shopping!…

Just stopping by. I've been super tired I'm sure from the stress of this disastrous kitchen remodel. I will never do this again. Doing ok on food but not exercise. Hope everyone is doing well.

Thanks Robin. Very interesting. Sorry you are stuck with it.

Robin-- sorry to be so personal but is the prednisone for RA? My mother has RA , and I think some of the other options have fewer side effects. If it is RA you might talk to the doc. Mom is in great health and can out perform me at the gym. She is on methotrexate. Whatever the case I hope you feel better soon.

Well I think I am back on track. I don't know what was wrong with me. Maybe it would be TOM if I wasn't on continuous birth control. I did go over yesterday bit when hubby cooks I eat. I will make up for it. Robin-- hope your rib is not broken and you feel better soon! Laurie--you deserve better in a trainer! Besides you…

I don't know what is wrong with me this week. Some days it is really hard being so vigilant about food. Some days I am hungry all day and have terrible cravings and the some days the cravings aren't bad. I know this is a lifestyle change and for the most part I do ok but do those skinny girls NEVER want a cheeseburger?…

Well I haven't posted very much lately but I have been keeping up with everyone. We are trying to finish up on a kitchen remodel nightmare that started last August. We had a pipe break inside our cement slab. What genius ever thought to run pipe through the middle of concrete was a moron. Anyway to those struggling I hope…

Hang in there Susan, I know exactly how you feel. I have a co worker who had the gastric bypass. She has lost an enormous amount of weight. Her first surgery she just had the band and gained it all back. Now she eats crap still (like 2 pieces of cake) while I'm struggling not to eat any. Anyway I know where you're coming…

Hey Robin. I'm up for the 4 pounds in May!

Just checking in. @Liz. Omg! You did fantastic! You finished and you didn't stop. I don't care how red I was I would be smiling ear to ear, @ Laurie. Don't get down you never know what the future might be. It may be even better than you can imagine. I know those emotions can take over but don't let it bring you down.…

Well my daughter cooked fr my birthday so I may by way over today but I don't care it was delish! @Tracy. Great job on the 7 day stretch. That's wonderful. @ Ellen ( really thought your name would be Robin). RA is a nasty disease. My mom has it and finally decided to go on methotrexate. Still has lots of damage but she…

Well I finally replaced the battery in my scale and I am down 6 pounds! It certainly helps when ou see some results. I got a walk in yesterday but today I have been trying to help my son get ready for prom. He is so handsome. Tonight I am watching my daughter practice in her race car so I am sure I will get some walking…

Try KT tape. You can get it at athletic stores. They have online videos showing you how to use it. Just google kttape and see what you think. I se it for plantar problems and it really helps.

Awesome! What an inspiration

Thanks everyone for the words of wisdom. They really are helpful. I was going to go for a walk but the weather has once again turned cold. Yesterday when I left work it was 89 degrees. Today when I left it was 46 and has gotten colder. Too cold for me.

Ok what does it mean when someone types bump? Tuesday truth--some days it"s very hard to stay motivated. I miss some of the old food I use to eat and I get tired of having to think about what I'm eating all the time. Oh well I think once I see more results it will be better.

Well I totally tanked saturday. I will regroup and start again tomorrow.
