Monday

So i worked from home, which usually means I eat too much. I think I did okay though.
B- 3/4 cup cinnamon cereal, no milk, banana, cheese stick (lf)
S- apple, celery, peanut butter (2 celery stalks and 1/4 apple)
L - organic mac-n-cheese ( i'll have the other half for lunch today!)
S-yogurt, smooshed fruit
D - skillets, crackers with lf cream cheese
And I shovelled last night - that's my exercise
Today - breakfast - hardboiled egg, tea, smooshed fruit

I plan on going to the gym tonight whenever I get out of work. Just cardio - I have class tomorrow am at 530 and we'll probably do weight training.

keep it up everyone! I noticed i feel a lot better when I eat healthier - I don't even want to eat crappy food anymore (no french fry craving). I'm sleeping better too.

I'm In!

I'm definitely up for round 2 or at least keeping up the blog. It helps to have other people to talk to who are going through the same thing and it's great for motivation!

Oops

I meant the same thing. Not "the thing". Oops.

Round 2!

I'm definitely in for Round 2. This has been such a huge help for me. I love the motivation and support. It's great to vent and know that we're all going through the thing if we hit a plateau or a snag.
Also, are we sending the winner checks for $20 for Round 1? TL - what's your address?

great job everybody

Thanks everyone for joining in on this. It's a great way to stay on track and be motivated. I thini we all did great, even if the changes in numbers were small, the changes in THINKING and decision making is big!

Anyone in for continuing? ...Round 2, Rematch? same deal... 20$, 8 weeks? I'm almost near my goal of 160 and could use the moral support. If not a round two, then at least keep the blogg up? thoughts?

Notes and Thanks

Thanks A - and don't get discouraged. Not to be too clichey, but if you keep putting off when you're going to start back up, you never will.

TL - the flower show sounds fantastic - thanks for the offer, however in my line of work, weekends are not my own currently. Have a great time!

So last night was a tastefully simple party. I've decided that Friday is my day to not worry about everything I'm eating (not pigging on gross stuff or anything) just not stressing. And I had 2 glasses of wine and was a little tipsy - I'm going to be a cheap date if I continue not drinking except on special occasions. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Class this morning kicked my butt. And since the storm isn't supposed to start til tomorrow night, no excuse to not go to the gym tomorrow morning.

Have a great weekend!

i give up

132

Sarah- I'm so proud of you!!!!!!!!

Maybe I'll get back on track next week. I have visitors this weekend until Tuesday, so.... I don't forsee going out of my way to eat healthily.

I haven't gotten back to the gym yet... just trying to get back in sync with the time change. I have never been so jetlagged in my life!

Flower Show

Sarah... ahh... what ISN'T Flower Show! LoL. the Philadelphia Flower show is the largest indoor flower show in the WORLD. And the longest running (since 1827!) I work at the Pennsylvannia Horticultural Society. We take over the Philly Convention Center and fill it with flowers and music and fountains and ...magic! This year's theme is Bella Italia where we will transport visitors to Tuscany as they stroll through cobble streets and piazzas sipping wine and smelling roses.

let me know if you want to come, I might have a comp ticket left. It starts tomorrow and goes through next Sunday.
