SoWell on Sowal

[DD]

Well you know that I just heard Walton county has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the state.

Tell Allifunn to get us something lined up while she's there!!

[dbuck]

But then again there's always the argument that if you can't afford gas, how ya gonna get a place on 30A? Uh Oh. Looks like cork's Flophouse for you

This kinda reminds me of the time I bought a new car and I asked how many miles per gallon. . . the salesman said "if you have to ask you can't afford it. Pissed me off BIG time.

Tastes like crap but you get lots of chocolate

[DD]

Tastes like crap but you get lots of chocolate

I figured.

[Cork On the Ocean]

I figured.

It's really easy. Just eat the stuff. Basically no prep. Kinda like freeze-dried K-rations. Except for the chocolate

You can tell me more at lunch.....does this mean you have to bring your own?

[Cork On the Ocean]

Naw, I'll have a salad or something.

[DD]

I've been a really good girl today since I think I might be drinking tonight..

[DD]

Oh, Toots, where are you?

Today, I had no goals other than surviving. Stayed up too late, drank too much Corona. Had to help daughter move today, so had 1/2 egg bagel from McDonalds (hate that place). Had one of those little mini microwave popcorns and three pieces of pizza. No walk yet, but may get some energy sometime tonight. Or, I may just go to bed.

Tomorrow starts the big push before vaca. I know I will be bad that week, so gotta be really good this week.

IBD I think weight watchers is a great program, I know many gals that have lost a good ammount of weight on that!!!! I have also tried it and lost eleven pounds very quickly then summer came and I quit but I'm back on track as of two weeks ago and I already feel better!!! I was walking/jogging the track at the high school everynight, then I pulled something in my knee last Monday and doc said to take a week off (maybe more) to let it heal I am really bummed out....but I want it to heal quickly so I can get back to three miles a night. I hate set-backs!!!!!! :oops:

good going IBD. is the online WW easy to follow, etc? I'll have to take a look at it. I did WW years ago and found it easy to do, but that was with the weekly meeting/weigh in. I don't think we have a WW nearby.

No there isn't ! I agree those weekly meetings and weigh-ins really do give you a boost. I'm going to be here for a month or longer in October. Wish there was a closer meeting than PC!

[InletBchDweller]

I personally like the online b/c i am not driving to pc for it. you get an email reminding you to weigh in, you get praise or an uplifting message depending on if you lossed or gained. There is a points tracker that you can plug your points into, boy does that make it easy. there is also a message board and lots of recipes. One cool thing is that you can create your own recipe or type in one of your favorite and it will total up the points for you.....

drank water
had a bagel with a tiny smidge of low fat cream cheese
had some sugar free, low fat brownie bites..
salad for lunch with turkey and ham, very little dressing on the side.
had a turkey sandwich for dinner from boston market..it had dipping "au jus"--but I only dipped twice cause it was so good, it had to be bad. chopped side salad, low fat honey mustard.

chased the dog down the block after mr. dd let her out, and refused to go get her. this was just after he opened the electric bill and was having a coronary.
lovely evening. but, better than eating pizza again!
oh yeah, weighed....10 lbs. and nothing gained after the pizza slip last night. hope it doesn't show up tomorrow!

OK gotta get back on track. I've got to recover from my little stumble during the all night postathon. I only lost 1 lb last week (was down 2 but put back 1 after the postathon) . Have not had a good exercise day since Saturday so in addition to working ALL day on my CE, I'm pledging to get an hour workout.

Not sure if you went to Pilates today, Tootsie. I woke up too late. Damn! Gotta get back on track.

me too. what about Wed, 6pm?

[DD]

Dammit! See, when I don't write down my goals, the day just goes to hell.

Daily report:

Breakfast: Some low-fat, no sugar brownie bites. (5 to be exact)
Lunch: Tostada and Gordita from Taco Bell. I cannot possibly tell you how much I love Taco Bell, exceeded only by Taco Bueno. The bat turds were going out, and I couldn't leave, so I caved and ordered. I about choked on it with guilt though! No More! Well, maybe til lunch next week..

Dinner: turkey sandwich on multi grain bread. No fat chips. water.

It's still too hot to walk with Maggie. Will go about 8:30.

I did buy a new pair of shorts for the beach though and I could actually zip them without sucking in. But, if I don't get back on track seriously, I will have ruined all this hard work.

yeah, you basically blew it!!!

well, for me?

breakfast: none
lunch: Coco's (chips, cheese dip, salsa, taco, enchilada, rice and beans, BF coke)
dinner: small tuna steak with rice/veggies
water intake: 2 glasses
wine: none (hey, that's progress!)
exercise: grocery shopping and laundry

not a good day overall.

[DD]

well, we can't look back now...only forward! Tomorrow, my goal is to write down my goals. Seems to be what keeps me on track!

[Jdarg]

I just walked 4 miles and am close to death. Pray for me. Of course that walk didn't make a dent in what I have consumed in the past 24 hours.

[lindatat]

Must have been a day for Mexican food - I did Taco Bell for lunch, too. Spicy Chicken Burrito, no sauces, with added plain rice and plain refried beans. Not too bad of a choice - a little more fat than what I would ordinarily have for lunch, but the fiber from the beans kind of offsets it!

[Miss Kitty]

well, we can't look back now...only forward! Tomorrow, my goal is to write down my goals. Seems to be what keeps me on track!

This is the best advice, ever! dd, you are doing an awesome job!

[InletBchDweller]

ok day 3 on WW for me.

I am having to eat Breakfast which I do not normally do...but there is a bread that is super high in fiber that is almost ) 0 points.

Breakfast, south beach breakfast wrap
lunch- smart ones
dinner - subway
snacks - ff tortilla w/ ff cheese and ff sour cream, 100 calorie pack
water, water, water, water , water, water
exercise.....does shopping count??? (gosh i wish it did)


thought for the day,

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference.
