It seems that when I travel and have my first day at home, I really want to nibble. I got home about 11 today after stopping at the grocery store. I had such a crazy morning being up at 4am. I had a protein bar, but nothing to drink. Had to run between terminals and quickly boarded the plane home. I am someone who is always carting around water, but today I had no time to get some before and between flights. I thought I was going to shrivel up this morning! I got home and scarfed down a too large sandwich...then had too much potato salad..and then two cin graham crackers. I felt like I was ravenous. Fortunately my husband came home for lunch and that forced me to stop and realize I was full! I am hoping to get a quick walk in between practice shuttles tonight. So anyway - on my flight I was thinking about the fact that I relapsed and gained back so much weight and tried to come up with a way I could have put the breaks on. I figured out what needs to happen. If I had weighed everyday, I never would have let it get so out of conrol. Also - if I had mirrors around here and could see myself full body, I think that would have helped. I got to the point where I was in denial and scared to see the damage. I have always struggled with the "scale obsession". That is another place I need to find the balance! It all goes back to finding the balance! Doing well now! Hugs to all!

I have no motivation this morning to do anything beneficial to my health. :) Nothing, but I will cause that's what we have to do. I was down another half pound this morning...I cannot wait to be in the 70's! This was my original goal by my bday, in April, but if I get there sooner, I'll be okay with that. ;) I feel very irritable this morning...hopefully that goes away so my day is somewhat enjoyable. Have a good day all!

Well the fall out damage from the cookies is not so bad. I am weighing one fifty today. I would not recommend a box of cookies as a diet plan. I know from time to time this will happen. It is old habits. You get to a point where you say I have gone this far I might as well eat the rest. I recognize this and realize I will slip up because once in awhile I don't want to have to care. But I do and I will so it won't slide to far. I know I will eat some Easter candy because I want to. If I had to do shakes and a really rigid diet that would not work for me. As I have said I want something I can do the rest of my life. I have not eaten any cookies or candy or sweets this week and it feels good. My mother left me brownies while I was away yesterday. I found them last night. I did not eat them. Instead I had two Sunsweet prunes. That is where my head and willpower are now. Amie I read that article in Good Housekeeping. I need to read it again. It was right on the money. I do want to try making Valerie's Tuscan soup. It sounds good and easy to make. I wish you all a wonderful end to your week and a nice weekend. Buffintraining

Again-I type a book and get booted off. Bottom line..I am doing great with the eating. Making great choices. I feel like I have gained weight. Not sure why. Did a workout yesterday, but today, I just don't wanna. I haven't taken a day off in 10 days...so I think it will be okay. Hopefully if the weather is okay I will walk tomorrow when I get home. I have a 530 am flight tomorrow. Buff will just be entering dreamland when i get to the airport! I am going to weigh in on Friday just to see where I am, but I feel like Monday will still be the official day. I did eat some empty calories today...i had baked lays 140 calories with my subway sand. I know it is better to make every calorie count, but it was a yummy treat. well..I guess I will go wind down to go to sleep early. hugs everyone

thanks for the encouragement girls. I was thinking last night that my workouts in the mornings are going to be a must. that's going to be my only me time. because I just don't see how to do it during the rest of the day. and I might be too tired also. so all I need is inspiration, energy, and motivation to get me out of bed before 5:30am in order to do everything on schedule. today I'll do the air climber and tomorrow hopefully I'll go to the gym. I love the gym that's where I am on my own. tonite I'll have the kids all around me. but it's ok.

Okay..... started a healthier way of eating yesterday... thinking Atkins, but probably not as strict. Need to cut down on carbs thru the advice of my Dr..... high blood pressure..... pre-diabetic.... weight when I started 2 days ago.. 191.2.... today it was 188.6...think alot is due to water. With daylight savings happening this weekend... trying not to have ANY excuse not to walk the dogs... they would really appreciate being taken out.... So I need to and WILL stop being lazy.

Ok, so at a loss for words again. This morning the scale said 183.0. Yesterday...it said 184.4. I lost 1.4 pounds in a day...? My body and it's freakouts. It's enough to drive me bonkers. Tis all for today I guess.

Lots to say, but not much energy to talk. That is why my comments are short tonight. Doing FANTASTIC with my eating. I excercised tonight. I had lunch at applebees today. that stuff has to have a lot of sodium because I feel like a blowfish..all puffy. Decided to just eat a protein bar and fruit for dinner cause I am not hungry. I also drank a lot of soda today so maybe that is part of the sodium thing. (diet) Long day, drove a lot. Long day tomorrow. Sorry everyone is struggling. I am used to be the one struggling...SO STOP IT GIRLS!!! We got this....we are better than this!
