Booey's New Lifestyle Changes, Journal

Sounds like you have a great plan for today Terri. Keep it up. Keep that focus for WI on Wednesday, you can do it.

dont look back, I am trying not to you can do it.

I totally understand not being prepared, that's my biggest downfall too!!

Doing good girl!!!

Good morning, had pizza last night and it was good, no regrets. WI is tonight and will happily take what the scales says to me. I am in this for the long haul and if life throws me a few curves I have learned to bend with them. That being said, had a great breakfast, 2 eggs with olives and hot peppers, lunch is the same as yesterday, I tend to make 2 days worth when I do diced tomatoes and couscous. Supper will be pasta for the boys, not sure what I will eat because I eat after my WI. Gotta run and do some work, will be back later. Thanks again for all the encouragement, means the world to me.

Terri you have the right attitude to get thru this. You're so optimistic! I love reading your posts.

Update us after WI and good luck tonight!

what a great attitud you have. Keep it up, its very inspiring.

You are definitely in the zone right now Terri! You've got great meal plans, a great attitude so I know you will get to your goal. GL on WI tonight.

I love how you don't beat yourself over one night of pizza!!! That's a great attitude! GL at WI tonight!

Thanks everyone, believe me I wasn't like this until recently. I used to angonize over it and then eat more. But I know that life is not always easy so I have learned to roll with the punches it may give me. It took a long time to get to this point in my journey.

Was thinking about you tonight. I hope since you are not posting tonight that it's a good sign and you are off celebrating a good loss.

Hope you had a good WI.

Hi ladies, unfortunately the hunk-o-junk of metal was not kind, I am up a pound and have adjusted my ticker to reflect the gain. I didn't post last night because I couldn't bring myself to own the gain and moved forward, instead I ate all the treats we had in the house and felt gross afterward. I woke up in a better frame of mind and am ready to move forward. On the up side, I am now wearing a size smaller clothing and it feels great. Time to clean out my closet and get rid of all the stuff that don't fit. I bought some new books last night at my meeting and am feeling re-energized. Had another egg breakfast, lunch is packed and waiting, we have swimming tonight so not sure what dinner may be, I might get adventurous and cook up some tofu for me. Okay gotta run now and do some work at the office, I mean that is what they pay me for. Have a great day and thanks for the well wishes and encouragement.

Have you had some water today??

yep somethings in the air if this many of us had a off day/night. Sorry about the 1lb. Sounds like you have put it in the past and moving on.

Here's to moving forward!!!

How awesome about fitting in a smaller size!!! WOW! I can't wait to get to that point!

The books will really help. I always go to my books when I need motivation. It lifts my spirits and pumps me up!

Ahh hun, I am sorry about the gain and about your night. Isn't it sick how we do that to ourselves? It's like we have an addiction to food - when we can't handle something we go to that. Sometimes I think it's like a drug. I'm so glad to hear that you are in a better place today and are moving forward. That's all you can do. Now the next time you are feeling blue come here and journal! Even if the rest of us aren't here to help you right away, you will feel a ton better journaling all your frustration and anger than taking it out with food. (as Karen points and shakes her finger at Terri. )

Have a great day hun!

ETA: I forgot to congratulate you on getting to a smaller size! Duh, I wave my finger at you above, and didn't even accentuate the positives. Congratulations!!!!!

Yay on a size smaller....I'm looking forward to that although it'll never come if I keep messing up!! Way to go girl!

Good morning everyone, thanks for the support, I know I can count on my good team here. Yesterday was a great day, had an awesome food day, ate all I planned and nothing else. I even did my activity for the day Walk-Away-The-Pounds 2 mile Brisk walk, 30 minute DVD boy did my legs feel it. I did it at 8:30pm last night and was up til at least 10 couldn't get my body to relax. It felt great.

Today is another good day, except for all the snow outside and more coming. I have had a good breakie of shredded wheat cereal with milk and a caffe latte. Lunch is again another salad because I am in the mood for salads for some strange reason, must be me yearning for the summer. I got all my vitamins in yesterday too and have todays packed with my lunch. I think packing them in a baggy, 1 of each kind x 5 days will really help me get them during the week, now I have to work on the weekend. I really must savour this feeling of being in control for the days I am in the dark places.

Gotta run and do some work here, not sure what supper will bring, DH wants to take the boys skating tonight so I will have to come up with something quick and nutricious before going out. Have a great day.

Yay! I'm so glad you had a great day yesterday and it sounds like you have a great plan for today and the weekend. Keep it up girl! You'll be showing that hunk-o-junk-metal just who IS the boss!

congrats, sounds like things are going well. The weekends are hard for me as well. I can keep on track much better when at work. I am going to strive to have a good weekend with you. Skating sounds like fun. Oha nd me to on the salads, I usually cant eat them in the winter but I have been loving them for some reason lately.

Terri!!! Good for you, Girl!!

You're gonna do awesome this weekend.

I'm craving salad, too.

Thanks again everyone, yes that scale is gonna rue the day it crossed me, just kidding. I like this in control feeling. I just finished my 2mile/30minute dvd WATP and we are just waiting on Swiss Chalet to be delivered and then we are going to relax tonight. We decided against skating because when we came home from work the sitter was just heading out to the park to go sledding. So while they were out I did my workout. Gotta run adn get the diningroom table cleared so we can have dinner when it gets here. Have a great night and if I haven't told you before you losers rock.

Great job getting your work out in Terri. Have an awesome kick-food butt weekend, lol. If that made any sense.

Thank you Karen, it make sense. My big concerns on the weekend usually isn't eating the wrong things it is eating at all. I tend to skip meals and forget to eat depending on how busy we are at home. I am up early today, gonna head out grocery shopping as soon as the sitter calls (I take her with me to get groceries so her hubby doesn't have to). Then Matt has a piano lesson at 12pm hockey game at 1:15pm -luckily the arena is a 2 minute drive from the house and then Thomas has a birthday party at 3pm to go to.

I have had my breakfast and coffee already. Supper last night was good and I didn't even eat the skin from the chicken and had baked potatoe. Just wanted to share a funny with you:

I have been after Matt to get up and join me while I do my workout, well last night after dinner he asked if he could try one of my dvd's I told him sure and to do the 1 mlie. Well at first he shoved me outta the room then he came and got me and wanted me to do another 1mile with him. He can be so cute sometimes. He did the mile and wants to do it again another day. Well I guess it was more cute than funny.

Anyway gotta run, have a great day and I will try and pop in during the day when I can steal a minute to me.

Matthew is so cute! That's great you have a partner to motivate you

Sounds like you've been doing well so far this weekend. Keep up the great work.

How wonderful that your DH wants to do it with you. I'm always looking for activities for Tim and I to share!
