Morning, Buddies! How did your Walksday go? I had to find alternatives to walking because I have a cut on the bottom of my foot that's making me walk like an old lady, so I did crunches and leg lifts and pretended I was walking. :o)
Today is Thirstday!! Last Thirstday taught me that I'm not drinking as much as I think I am. It was really useful for me to keep track all day, so I'm going to do that again today. Now that it's warm, I rarely ever drink hot tea, and I think that's cutting into my totals, so I have to make sure I make up for that. I plan to make iced tea when it's hot enough, but since I'm the only one in the family who will drink it, I don't make it often.
Other than glugging, I may go to the grocery store. We are really low on food around here, and I have the car today (Dan has been taking it to the job he's working), so I should get us something to eat.
Feeling thirsty? Who's ready to get their glug on?
Have a glugtastistic day, Buddies!

Morning Karen- I could totally use a thirstday right about now...let me go grab some water...brb...
Ok I'm back. I'm super sweaty right now trying to cool off before I take a shower and head to work. I did some exercising...410 calories on the elliptical in 30 minutes...pretty good stuff and it kicked my butt! But I need to sweat this out.
I messed up again last night. I have really got to get ahold of myself here. We ran out to do some shopping last night and we were starving on the way back and he mentioned stopping at Arby's and I haven't eaten there since dieting and didn't know a good way to trick myself with having low-cal bad foods (meaning not a salad). So I ordered a normal meal- ugh. And I traded half my reuben for 2 of his jalapeno poppers...and ate all my fries. Double ugh. And if I had stopped there I would have stayed at 1800 calories for the day. But oh no...there was leftover pasta in the fridge (pasta, cheese, maranara) and I ate that later, too. Which brought me to about 2300 calories for yesterday.
After I ate my second dinner I almost cried. It was bad. Believe me my stomach was grumbling before I ate it, but I really should have chosen better. Maybe had some fruit or a light snack, not an entire dinner-sized serving! I really felt terrible.
And then to top it off, I wasn't gonna weigh myself today, but I did. And I was at 181.6! Then I seriously almost cried. So I have decided to exercise twice today and as much as I can for the next few days to get back down into the 170s and back to my ticker weight.
I don't know why I do this to myself. I swore I'd stay in the 170s last time...and I hate that I let myself down. I'm taking back control starting right now!
Sorry for my rant...wanted to say one tiny little thing and it all flew out =(
I hope everyone has a marvelous day, though! Make it a good one buddies!
I am back!
G-
don't sweat it... it happens, it's a new day and it's over. Sometimes when I do that... later that night or the next morning I sit down and close my eyes and replay it in my head and think what I could have done different so when that scenario comes up next time, hopefully I'll remember a few different choices I could have made and how much better I'd feel if I made them the next day.
You'll get back to the 170's super fast, just drink a lot of water and stay away from diet sodas and salty stuff, I bet most of that was the salty fries:)
Have a good day!

Morning Karen-
Thirstday Thursday hunh? Water? (It has a different meaning at my work) Nonetheless, I already glugged a liter this morning and took the dog for a 30 minute jog. Last night was so busy at my event that I didn't even have time to drink any of the 400 mojitos I helped make. (My hands are aching from muddling!) i did however get to sample some delicious foods)I guesstimating around 700-800 calories worth, but I feel good about that b/c I was so busy setting up I didn't stop for lunch or dinner.
On an up note- the boyfriend said I look like I've lost a little weight AND not prompted by me that he's thinking about coming to yoga class with me twice a week:) I believe it when I see it, but it made me smile anyhow.
Have a happy Thirstday Thursday!

Good morning buddies!
Today is all about cleaning my house. My SIL and niece will be here tomorrow from California, so I am cleaning my house. I have already cleaned my kitchen, vacuumed the kitchen and living room, mopped the kitchen floor, put clean clothes away, started another load of laundry, and drank 40 ounces of water already. Whew!
MIL goes to a nursing home/care facility today, for at least 3 weeks, so that is good. I don't know if SIL and niece will stay with us or my MIL's house, but they will spend most of their time with MIL, I assume. I can't wait to see them though!
Emily is out playing in her little pool and Aiden is inside with me with the AC on. He is using his little push-popcorn-popper thingy around like a vacuum, and banging it into the coffee table and TV. He is such a little (destructive!!) boy! I never did share his 18mos party pic...I'll have to add a link.
I hope you're all having a great day! I've been going to the gym and doing a Cardio Pilates DVD on the days I don't go to the gym. Bruce and I do it together after the kids go to bed, and OMG, do we laugh at each other!!! It makes it fun!

I'm in the same boat with you, see my ticker! YIKES! I told myself I am going to stay on plan until the 4th of July, and then I will allow myself to partake of the festivities, but not until then. So, that is my goal, and I have been super good since Monday! Good for me!
You'll get back on track, it's just so hard, I know!

Good morning buddies!
Thanks! I'm feeling a bit better about it right now (thankfully) but I do like the advice of revisiting the decision made and focusing on what the better choices would have been! I need to get those ideas ingrained in the membrane ;)
After my shower I started feeling better. I know this is mostly just water weight and AF's baggage, but it still stinks. Had I not been pushed back over 180, I wouldn't have gotten so upset, but I can't help how much gets added on, ya know? Thinking realistically, I have not had a day over 1800 calories after I consider how much exercise I did each day- so it could have been A LOT worse!
Tonight I'm gonna go exercise with a friend too, so that's double exercise! Yahoo!
"On an up note- the boyfriend said I look like I've lost a little weight"
How sweet is THAT??? Yahoo! Gotta love unsolicited compliments!!
Phew! I got winded just reading all you've done so far! Think of all those calories you're burning!
And I love the idea of you two doing the pilates video together! So cute!
