Ok, I am in also. Like you said Hiker. Can't do any worse then I did last weekend. So, going to try real hard to get through this weekend without pigging out.
My plan is to keep going on this low calorie thing. I will let my self have a cheat with nachos today then right back on track. I have to work at a wrestling tournament all day tomorrow. So, I need to stay out of the goodies there. I might try fasting for that day. I just think that if I eat then I will not know when to stop. I also am making brownies for the tournament, so I need to stay out of that when I am cooking. It's so hard not to taste stuff when I am cooking.
Exercise for the weekend might be a challenge. We'll see what I can get in. If I stick to the dieting then I can get away with not much in the exercise department.
Ok, so that's my plan.
We can do this  ....BJ, sheltiemom, are you two in for this weekend?

Im in. Today is the start of my 4 day weekend, as always. :) yesterday was a super low cal day, i spent the entire day writing and didnt eat. so the scale didnt change too much today. 158. Here is the layout for my numbers, hope to stick to them! :) I am adjusting and did much better this whole week, so i think i will be ok.
Friday: 1418 cal. total, exercise for at least 30min, keep watching the munchies, i have done really well all week!
Saturday: 1734 cal total, exercise for at least 30min, watch munchies etc.
Sunday: 1576 cal total, activity of some sort, whether with D or just me.
Monday: 1576 cal total, activity of some sort, hopefully not a total relax day, but even still, we are playing Wii every nite so I am getting some activity! :)
Ok, who else is here????? :)

Welcome Carbear, I'm with Sheltie....if you feel like cooking stop by any time because I can assure you I never feel like cooking. Thus my quandary with the choosing food at restruants. 
I did well tonight, we went to Longhorn Steak House, don't ask me how but I resisted the fresh baked, warm bread the put on the table although after my husband took a slice I asked them to take it away....my good intentions only go so far  . I ordered the salmon with double veggies and a Cesar salad, dressing on the side. The whole meal was just under 500 calories so I am actually going to come in pretty low for the day. Especially since I joined the "One Small Change Challenge" and agreed to give up ice cream for a week. I have lots of calories left hmmm, maybe some yogurt with honey and almonds instead of the ice cream.
Well, one day down, 2 to go.

welcome ladies to what i hope will be a successful weekend for ALL of us! :) Hiker is doing good so far, did you have the yogurt????? i love to have nuts in my yogurt, its the only way really that i will eat it. i love vanilla with fresh lemon juice, almonds and honey...but the cost is alot for all the separate items, so for now its almonds with light 100 or less cal flavored yogurts. :) its all good! :) its eating those good nutients that matters! :) have you guys ever have the Activia?? Is it any good? Its expensive so i stay away but the commercial interest me, the regularity thing is so important! :)
my friday ended up around 100 cal over i think, based on my rough proportion estimations and counting but we did play Wii for 2 hours, and I did my Strength again. THis incl the squats with each set of triceps, biceps, shoulders, chest, and back exercises. I did them in sets of 15. i also did 40 bicycle crunches (2x20) and then 40 girlie pushups (2x20).
im doing something right because the scale is 157 today! :)
motivated to keep going and doing better!!! :)
how did C do?????

Hey guys, how's it going?
BJ, you're doing great, 100 calories over is no big deal. Yup I had the yogurt and it was good, actually a nice change from my ice cream....not that I didn't miss the ice cream, I did but I said I wouldn't eat it and I am going to try and keep my word.
Yesterday I was under by quite a bit, 1219 against the planned 1500 so that worked out well. Still the carbs were 28% which if fine but boy I really do have to watch them, they are so sneaky.
So far today is going well, we went out to lunch and I had tomato soup and 1/2 of a grilled cheese. The soup was a cream of tomato soup but that was the only choice so I can live with it. Right now my calories are at 622 which is okay BUT the carbs are at 50% so whatever I pick for supper will need to be pretty much pure protein. Kind of hard since we are gong to sub shop. Maybe I will go for a cheeseburger sub and skip the roll. I will calculate it and see if that will work for me before I go.

| Were having a snow storm today - so were stuck inside all weekend - it's good that we don't alot of snack stuff around - mindless eating. I made a egg whites with veggies and cheese - Breakfast cost me about 400 cal (i had 2 pancakes with syrup) lunch was good cal - 400 Salmon with carrots and wasa (can of diet pop). Made my soup(chicken tomato, little of orzo and veggies really easy) it turned out really good - lunch for the week!!! Supper I have no ideas at all. I'll figure something out I have a lot of cals left about 600 - 700. I'm trying to stay in 1200 to 1500 cals per day!! I know that it's lower than what I'm suppose to eat at my weight but over 2000 cals is so high.

| NOt alot of exercise today--did do lots of shopping, so I was active. Calorie count is about 1000 for the day. That leaves me 200 for an evening snack. Oops--there goes the dryer buzzer!

Friday I did ok. Saturday I totally blew it and now the scale is back up. I have already ate some chicken today. So, I need to call it quits if I want the number on the scale to go back down.
I have to say. I didn't totally pig out and I think it's bull that the scale is up so much. It just makes me wonder if that isn't water weight coming off and on so fast. I know I didn't eat three pounds worth of stuff yesterday. This is what I had...I had a breakfast sandwich and diet chips in the morning. I didn't even eat it all and the sandwich I made low cal. Then at the wrestling tournament. I had one rice krispie treat, a dounut, and a walking taco. Then I had a few bites of noodles while making supper for the family. Then I had m & m's and popcorn at the movies. Ok, so allot of sweets and that dounut was huge. But, still I was good all week up till then I find it impossible to see those numbers.
Ok, enough going off the deep end. I just got to try harder I guess. I didn't exercise yesterday either. So, I need to do something today for exercise and not eat.... that's the plan. Hope the scale is down tomorrow.
I hope everyone else is doing better then I am.... Hiker that is great how you resisted stuff while eating out...I don't think I could of done that.

Cport, don't be too quick to pat me on the back....yes I did well Friday but my good intentions of going to the gym today instead of eating all day didn't exactly work out that way. I got reading a really good book and just kept munching and didn't want to put it down to go to the gym  . Anyway, I went over, way over, on calories today so all in all I will have to say to weekend ended up OK. It would have been a good weekend, I got exercise every day but I let it slip today. Oh well, it was a lot better than last weekend where the whole weekend was shot and I did very little. The worst part....I have a chocolate covered banana in the freezer and even though I know I shouldn't I also know I am going to eat it tonight, it is just way to good to avoid.
Carebear, how you doing with that snow storm? Has it been a weekend event or just a day thing?
Sheltie, it looks like you are getting through the weekend well, low calories and good activity.
BJD, glad to see you so psyched again, you go girl.

| Today, the weekend challenge didn't go well for me. I ate WAY too many calories and I haven't done squat. The munchies hit me hard last night, also. Every day is a new beginning......(sigh)

Wow - you just wrote me. Friday was great and then my weekend activities were changed due to a winter storm. Chocolate won! But your right Monday is a new day and i cooked up lots of chicken breast for the week.

Well, I did better on Sunday. But, still not enough to make up for sat. So, going low cal again today in hopes for good numbers on the scale in the morning.
Anyway, I am hoping I can do better next weekend.

hey team, well i did great friday saturday and kinda dropped my big red bouncy ball on sunday by doing no activity except Wii SPorts for about 3 hours last nite and having 3 king leo soft peppermint sticks (2 were dipped in dark chocolate) and then i had 2.5 small 5oz wine glasses of baileys and 2%milk over ice.
Did it myself. Had a small headache, and picked the wrong things to help it. My cal for Sunday were up over 2000, hence the up on the scale today. Alas, its just a day. I will get back on track today.
i have one day left to bring it back into my control before D goes back to work, i can do it. I worked really hard and i wont undue it ever again but i made some less than great choices yesterday that i have to pay for now. I will learn how to balance it better. I have too.
I just saw all the other posts, ladies, we are so funny! its like we were all on the same wave of weakness for sunday! well, C saturday but still! how funny and connected we all are! :) i am happy that we all sort of struggled at end of weekend, now i feel less alone! :)
we can do it!!

Well, here we are at another weekend weekend warriors. Whose with me. I am really going to try and stay on track for three days, not two but the full three. That would be Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I can do this, I did it many time before I don't know why I struggle with weekends so. I think a lot has to do with that I am close to goal and in my head I have this little saboteur who says...go ahead, you can have that (what ever) it won't hurt. But it does, it is keeping me from reaching my goal.
Whose coming along to beat the food munchies. We can do it together!

Ok, I am going to try one more weekend. I was so bad last sat. that it sent me into a downward spiral. So, I need to get back on track and get these extra pounds off.
Ok, so the goal to eat clean and count calories. I think I will count calories all weekend. I think I am taking in way more then I think I am at times. So, the numbers don't lie. Also, I have not exercised the last two days. So, I want to get in something all weekend. That will be a challenge today cause we have wrestling tonight and I have the new baby today. I think I will try and get in the bike and maybe an exercise tape or something like that.
Well, that is the plan! I know we can do this Gals...So, lets stick to our guns and get through this weekend with flying colors...

hey team! after goin thru some other threads, and getting heated over things that this person is saying to all of us (in the binge eating and others) being very critical and hard on virtual strangers is not cool. i think they should be removed. i dont know if they are truly educated, but it shouldnt be rubbbed in our noses as it has been. once again they made annemarie the one to pick on, which really bothers me (in binge eating). anyway, so yeah, i got upset, and thankfully the wood delivery came, so i plowed thru moving the wood and then i hit that darn wall that came down in the storm two nites ago. that was an hour of heavy lifting and i exurting and i feel better now.
:)
wt is 156 today. i am in for the weekend, i will do my best! i guess last weekend went better than i thought, and if i can keep focused, not get headaches i should be ok! the hard part is making my workouts fit in, when D is off, and i cant allow them to be two rest days cuz then i will be eating and not using the energy, so i have to either eat low numbers and rest or eat normal and workout....hmmmmmmmmmm
i think i will go with trying to eat and workout, at least walking if nothing else! :)
friday, so far so good, cal goal is 1418 or less today.
saturday, workout and eat 1734 or less cals.
sunday, D off, workout and eat 1576 or less cals.
monday, D off, workout and eat 1576 or less cals.

BJ, you are so right this is not the place, on any of these sites to be hard and critical of each other. I truly believe we are here to support each other and help each other over the rough spots. Sure we might give each other a gentle kick in the butt every once in a while but I hope we always do so in a caring manner. Now I am nosy and I can't find that binge eating site...where is it?
Friday went well, actually a little low on calories, 1159 against a goal of 1500 but that's okay, I don't mind being low sometimes. Today has gone OK so far, I got myself to the gym early this morning and did a circuit training class, it is really great workout and I burn 3-4 hundred calories in a short time. It hasn't gone over 5 degrees here today, too darn cold to walk. Tomorrow is suppose to be about the same so I probably won't get out tomorrow either  .
I should be alright today but Sunday is always my killer day....I really am going to try and keep those calories low tomorrow too.
We can do this guys!

BJ, Cport, how are your weekends going? Mine has gone well so far, it is about 6pm and I have about 250 calories left so that means I can have my dish of ice cream tonight but that's it. I think I can do this, if I do it will be the first weekend where I didn't cheat at all.
I didn't get any exercise in today but I didn't plan on any so I am okay with that. I had some sore muscles from the last couple of days of working out so I think resting today was a good thing to do.
I was at Trader Joe's today and let me tell you it was a tough one. I was really tempted by the candy and cakes...I think I am really trying to get over a hump here with the carbs. My hope is that if I can do it, it will become easier.

My weekend was not the greatest. I need to get back to eating clean. I didn't eat a ton of stuff, just nothing healthy at all.
We were out and about most of the weekend and so we ate out again on sat. Sunday I made a big breakfast and had some chips later in the day. So, I have not done the best job at resisting yummy foods.
I need to stay home more and eat clean. ugh! I can't wait for summer. Then maybe I can get out of this house more for exercise and eat less.

Starting late... But I'll post my weekend anyways!
I think I did good... I don't count calories... I tend to get frustrated and as revenge I eat more   ... So, I've learned to watch WHAT I eat, and how much. For me, it's not just losing weight, it's keeping the headaches and sick feeling away by not going hypoglycemic...
I Didn't do so well on Friday.. I had a piece of cheesecake
Saturday, I did okay... Ate carrots and apples to fight off the urge for cheesecake and gingerbread
Sunday, I did great! I ate toast and bacon for breakfast (High protein to keep my sugar stable) and then ate a steak and a little potatoes and lots of veggies! I felt the best on sunday that I have in a long time!

Well guys do you believe we're at another weekend, boy time seems to be flying. I'm not sure how much I will be around this weekend. Saturday we are taking my mother in law out to lunch then my nieces and nephews are coming in the afternoon and will be spending the night so that means having some munchies around. Then Sunday is Superbowl Sunday...personally I could care less but that also means munchies around so it will be challenging. I know I am spoiled in that I don't usually have tempting stuff around, no one in my house needs it (no kids) so for me it's really challenging in that I never see this stuff but this weekend...Maybe I need to make a pot of very low calorie soup and just keep eating that when those temptations hit.
Good luck on the weekend and hang in there, we can do this.

hey guys, sorry that i wasnt around, but grama passed on thursday, took me away for a few days. funeral is on friday.
i did bad for thursday and friday, since i was up and out and driving around, in abq with family etc....crazy schedules...weight shot up to 157.8 for a few days. didnt even come home till friday nite! saturday, D took me and mj to golden corral, i did really well and it was my biggest meal of the day. i nibbled on lots of things but didnt go nuts. sunday stayed in and rested, had wii marathon,didnt even watch the super bowl! monday morning i got sick for some reason, but i still ate and was ok after that.sometimes the vitamins will upset my tummy, or else the string cheese i had was bad, or maybe it was the raw vanilla that i put into my coffee? who knows, but i am better today.
overall the weekend was good food wise. emotions wise, it sucked. on to next weekend!
wt is 155.3 today. :)

BJD, sorry to hear about your loss. I know she has been sick but that doesn't make it any easier. At least she is no longer in pain. It must be very hard for your Dad.
You have done great to keep your weight under control, clearly that isn't the #1 priority right now but still, you've done excellent.

hey lady hiker, thanks for your thoughts! and its funny, its like my dad has lost his purpose or a job per se'......he seems blank now. i am sad, we are all sad over the loss, its not real yet. i will feel it on friday at the viewing and funeral. my mom wrote a beautiful obituary, story of her life, i cried. we are experiencing the outer family wanting to split out the house now, even though noone wanted anything to do with it prior to this loss....funny how greed can change things. my mom has been made her designee, with agreement from my uncles on what she does in regards to the house, but nothing will be done since NM laws have probate rules and its over $30k in assets so we have to see what to do now. its a confusing matter since she wasnt specific. argh.
i want nothing to do with it at this point, my mom is buried enough, i will be here to help her but i dont want to try to get my piece of pie for helping and being a good grandkid. i got some awesome rings, her art (lighthouses, ships, nautical things), and some kitchen things i direly needed that noone wanted, two pillows and a home made afghan for our couch. we would like some furnature for mj and our bedroom, but the money, well, as nice as it would be, if we arent mentioned how should we get any rights to it? that is what we are seeing, my distant cousins who were never around are putting ideas into my uncles heads, who just last wednesday didnt want ANYTHING are now saying that my mom should sell it and split the money...how the heck is that fair and how is that follwing my gramas will wishes to keep house in family in event of need???
its a sad state what happens after a death. :( it will work out i pray.
thanks again hiker!!!!!

Is anyone in for this weekend? I haven't done well the last couple weekends and really want to stay focused this weekend. So, my plan is to pack food to take to sectionals with us and stay out of the lunch room there. I think I will pack a salad and a sub sandwich to take with me. I can also take some veggies and jello cups to snack on.
I am going to keep my food light today. I might do a salad today and then have a bocca burger later if I ever get to walmart. I hate that our store here in town doesn't carry much as far as alternative/special foods.
Oh well, I have to just deal with it. Can't believe I forgot them last time I was there. But, we are still living on the bare minimums until we get catch up after paying taxes. Ugh! I hate this time of year.
Ok, this is starting to sound like my diary, lol. Better get over to that and vent for awhile.
So, the goal is to ditch a pound this weekend. I am sick of squeezing into my fat pants.

Hey Cport, I've been really busy so I haven't given much thought to a plan but I am in for the weekend. Just try to keep my calories low I guess and eat healthy. I do have a 7 mile walk planned for tomorrow but that's about it for exercise.
BJD mentioned on the excercise challenge that whe would be in for the weekend but she won't be here until at least sometime Saturday.
Hey, if it's you and me that's fine too, we can keep each other honest.

hey team,
i am in, thanks for letting all know hiker, much appreciated! yesterday was a lovely day, we all got along, the uncles came into town, no discussion about the house, they simply requested to go up and gather a few items and that was it, so pray that we will have a smooth transition to ownership for my folks and probate law that applies in NM. The ceremony in Santa Fe was lovely, uplifting, but my brothers, mom, my sis in law leslie and mj sat in the front bawling like babies quietly. it was my first loss of tears really. i was complimented endlessly by my uncle J out of cali, he was close to us when we lived there, he has seen me at my highest and now lowest and said i am his new poster girl for how to do it right and make it last! :) what an honor! he said I would be a great poster girl for weight watchers and a great motivator, but i told him i did it all myself with calories, changing what i did and working hard. He said that was excellent and the right way to go and how proud he was of me, he couldnt stop talking about it, it was very flattering. :) he has always had a belly, but he has gotten smaller then bigger over time, and well he is in a big phase again, he does the trick diets of WW, JC, etc. but never made a REAL LIFE CHANGE.
anyway, it was awesome to be showered with compliments like that! Made me feel like the star, amidst all the sadness of the day. it was a nice nice nice day, and after we hit the italian rest. that my grandparents used to enjoy for a family dinner. I had the buffet, but it was mostly 2-3 bites of all the things, i had one full slice of cheese pizza, a pepsi, lambrusko wine and nibbled my way thru buffet things and some sweets, but honestly, it wasnt like i remembered it, which has been over 2 years now. My tastes are really different now.
just weighed in at 153. WOW. i am on a roll, regardless of yest, although we didnt eat all day till then so i think it was ok.
today, its just me for the day, we conceded after Mj was so good all day, also the star of the show, passed out little flower harts on cards to plant for your loved one to all the guests who came, and was very good. She will be home sunday, we expect and we hope to spend some time with my folks. I tried to lure my mom in with our Harry Potter 6 and Star Trek, the new one. I got them for 10bucks for them both thru amazon, so we are excited to watch. I hope it works out.
For today, i am goin to relax. This past two weeks has been overwhelming. I may do a workout, but i am tired, so I am goin to go walk about walmart and look at pretty things for valentines day, though we brought home three beautiful bougetts from the funeral, so we dont need wowies!! Cal for saturday less than 1734.
Tomorrow, rest, play some wii for sure, keep the calories around 1576 or less.
Monday, rest, get house things done, keep calories around 1576 or less. :)

Hey BJ, glad you made it. You are on a roll that is for sure.
Friday went well, we went to see Percy Jackson and the Olyimpians, it's a kids movie but actually I have to say we enjoyed it too. I brought our own snacks, it works out so much better when we do that. I brought salted edamme, it really is a good snack, fairly low calorie and satisfies me...keeps me away from the popcorn .

My friday went really well here as well and I can say today is going well also. We went to wrestling all day and I wasn't sure how they were going to run it so I didn't even have time to think about eating. I had a sandwich and diet chips in the morning. Snacked on some sun chips and a jello cup at lunch time. Then had the rest of the sun chips and another sandwich on the way home. I made the sandwiches with those sandwich thins so they are less then 200cals a piece. My son got third place so he is done for the year...thank god! To much stress for me to watch him. I might go to sectionals next weekend to watch the other kids, but I think I will pass on state this year. It's to big and to many people and we will probably only have a few kids (if any) make it that far.
So, the plan is to stick tight to my guns and not eat a bunch of #%@&! tonight. I just need to keep talking myself that I don't need it and I would rather lose this weight then have whatever kind of food it is that's tempting me.
Ok, that said I will check in again tomorrow..I think coming on here during the weekend will help out more.

Cport, nice job on Friday and it sounds like you have a good plan for the rest of the weekend.
Me on the other hand....well I kind of blew Saturday, my calores for the day were a whopping 2298. The funny think is I don't really regret it. First of all the carbs were under control and I did not eat a lot of junk. The high calorie count is mainly the result of an Italian sausage sub that cost me 1126 caloires, which basically left me only 400 for the rest of the day. Since I was already had about 200 or those calories there was no way I would make it . Oh well, like I said I don't even regret it, that sandwich was delicious and I did make it 2 meals, I had it for lunch and then the other half for supper. I added chips at supper time but still, it was worth it.
BJ, how about you, still in control?

I wouldn't worry to much about sat. Hiker. We can't be perfect all the time and like you said it's more about control then about the calories. As long as you are eating sensible. I don't think eating a sandwich for two meals sounds all that bad.
Yesterday, I started with this stuffy nose thing and yep woke up with a cold..ugh! Good news I usually do good dieting when I have a cold. I did weigh in this morning and was down a pound like I wanted to be. I had a bite or two of chicken last night and that was it. So, I did good.
Now, for today. I got to go down to the school to help out with youth wrestling and I want to watch some of my old daycare kids wrestle. That always makes me feel old. But, when the little guys wrestling it is so cute. We also have friends here in town and some of their kids will be wrestling. So, it should be fun. I need to keep my snacking under control. I think I will not eat anything for now and then have a walking taco when I get down there and stay away from everything else until I get home.
Ok...I got to go shower and get my butt down there...

Hey Cpot, sorry you got a cold but at least you are looking at the bright side, you don't like to eat as much when you are sick but ....boy that is a tough way to do it . It must make you feel old to see your day care kids wrestling, kind of bitter sweet. It's great to see them grow but it's sad to see the little ones gone.
So far today has gone well, I've kept the food under control. We took the dogs for our usual Sunday hike but it was really icey so we went at it very slow. We were out for about an hour but only covered the ground we usually cover in 45 minutes. That's what we get for leaving our Yak Traks in the car .

Well, I didn't get my walking taco thing. When I went out to get one. I got thrown into doing dishes. One of the ladies said oh good another worker, we need someone on dishes. UGH! So, by time I got done helping out the taco stuff was gone. So, I just waited until I got home to eat.
Yep Hiker! One kid I use to watch that wrestled today is in 8th grade... very depressing for me...lol But, not near as bad as one girl that I watch when we first moved here. I have watched her son in recent days.... So, I am on my second generation of kids... I am OLD! lol
Anyway, when I got home I had some diet chips with salsa, fat free cheese, beans and lettuce and tomatoes... I am still hungry and will probably have a bocca burger here in a bit.
I did manage to get in 4miles on the treadmill today, but I did skip it last night.
Oh yea, I am feeling better. I went to the store and got some cold meds. It seems to be helping.

hey guys,
i kinda let the ball drop a bit on sunday, my folks called at 230, said they were headin down and hoping to stay for a while, see ya soon. At 630 we got a call that my brother had driven up at the moment they were leaving and wanted to BS about the whole grama thing, after spending time chatting with my know it all cousin.......
Could they have thought to call and let me know? I had the afternoon planned, we wanted mj back, i was very upset, needless to say, because this has happened too much, they continually put me in last place, but demand me to be present and accounted for all the time. Meanwhile, it ruined my night, i was crying and shaking i was so upset that he just dismissed me alltogether, and i let it get to me. D was upset, we pounded thru another 18 holes and i cried somemore....i caved and had some chocolate, but i didnt get any worse. I just dont understand them, how come i am so unimportant? and how can they just dismiss my request to have mj home? they would never dream of doing that to either of my brothers, esp John with his 2 year old son, but then, my brother wouldnt ever leave his kid with them either...they know better.
anyway, so yeah, i was down, kinda am still today, but i am mad too. i am tired of being treated this way. i even told him i wanted her home today and he is like, well, i cant give any guarentees and she is just fine here. Im sorry, is that the point?
154 today, not tooo bad. i did good on meeting my goals for calories on friday and saturday, but i havent figured sunday yet, i imagine i went over some, but i also changed the 8 tires on the cars again, so my convertible is back to her old self totally. She was very happy to have her aluminum 15" wheels back!! lol...i am getting better at working on cars for sure! i did all 8 in about 2 hours, and was proficient wiht my tools! :) D even said he barely had to tighten the luggs at all! :)
next weekend i will be back!

Hey BJ, sorry to hear the parents are back to not listening to your requests when it comes to MJ, I am sure it is very frustrating for you. I know you've spoken w/ them in the past maybe time for another chat? I imagine it is a very hard situation for you, but from what you say the really do love MJ and it is so good for her to have grandparents in her life, I hope you can work it out, you deserve respect as her mom and MJ deserves grandparents who care for her and maybe spoil her some too but at the same time teach her mom is #1 on the rules.
I am counting today as a weekend day because we have it off of work. I am meeting friends for dinner so I am going to have to be strict with myself all day. I know where we are gong and I have checked out the nenu so I should be okay but it is always temping when I'm with other people to just let it go. NOT TODAY !!

its so tough hiker i feel such dismissal when i do speak up to them, in fact i was shut down by him last nite as soon as i started to voice my discontent with their lack of respect for us. thats why i started to cry talkin to him , and he didnt even ask how we were, but he managed to think of the horses and dogs! d is at the point of giving them a little of the #%@&! they dish to us back, and i am at the point of after this visit its no more for a while, unless they can see how my needs must be met too. i was thinking, if mj was in school and they pulled this #%@&!, she would be coming home on a school day, and how can i count on them to be on time? all my life they are late, have been, always will be, at the funeral, she begged us to be there at 10am. We were there at 945 and noone showed up till almost 11. She was the last to arrive. I do all they ask of me, how come its so hard to give it back?
anyway, i am playing a tournament in england now, making money for my character and buying cool things, its fun to have play money and it feels good to get awarded for hitting the pin, getting eagles and birdie awards, if only my REAL golf game was that good! lol....i am decent, but never get to play in real life. :) D wants clubs now, so progress is being made.
i asked him to take me to the RIBS in town for lunch, i really want a garden salad with their yummy ranch dressing and their steak fries. i dont know if he will honor my request. its not like my parents will be here anytime soon, nor have they called, and if i call and lay out expectations, they will not meet them, so why set myself up for further disappointment in the day?
thanks for listening, its nice to have a friend. :) enjoy the holiday!!!

All I can say bj, is that if my kid wasn't home when I asked then I would go get her and they would not be allowed to have her again until they do what you ask. I would be really mad. But, that is me and you have to work it out with your parents. I know that is always hard on the diet when stuff like that happens. I know from this last year with the stress of all the changes in my life. Hang in there, it will get better.
I did pretty good this weekend. I had higher calories on sunday. But, I walked four miles also. All in all I am happy with what I accomplished this weekend. So, hopefully this week will go the same and I will get a few more pounds off.
Well, I will see you all next weekend.

Hey guys, just reporting in from my 4 day weekend, I am pretty happy with the way it went. I did go a little crazy on Saturday, jeez one sub and your sunk . Anyway it didn't send me spiraling downhill and that is always my biggest concern. One day not a big deal but when it goes into 2 days then 3 I know I am in trouble. So for the weekend. All in all it went okay.
Friday 1419 calories 28% carbs vs. 1500 planned and <30% carbs.
Saturday 2298 calories 25% carbs vs 1500 planned and <30% carbs--I am suprised my carbs were in line...maybe that is the reason I got back on track so easy? Hmmmm, I may have just learned a lesson.
Sunday 1464 calories 32% carbs vs 1500 planned and<30% carbs (alittle over on the carbs)
Monday 1288 calories 29% carbs, vs 1300 planned and <30% carbs.

hey team, so monday my dad called to tell me they were getting a cherry pie, hot dogs and sauerkraut and heading down, that was at 1230pm, they showed around 4. ARGH. I wont ever learn to stop expecting. :(
It was ok i suppose, i bit my lip, i kept my cool, we had some words at the end, when i allowed them to lay mj down before they left....that was a MISTAKE! I got flack from mom about her bed, about the space heater about her "cave like bed" see, mj loves the dark, so we put a big jungle styleprint king size blanket over her bed which we modified to be more like a canopy style so she has her horse string lights intertwined over her head inside her cave with all her animals. She loves it, but since my mom was goin on in front of her, mj was like i dont like my bed etc and i got so upset wiht my mom, she is not me, mj is not hers, and she has no right to dictate how we set up her play and bed space. Its bad enough that when she is there she is subjected to an ice cold room, and no real window covers to let her sleep past 6am, esp when she isnt in bed till like 11pm! I was upset. The next morning, I asked mj if she didnt like her bed and she told me she loved her bed, and she never wants to get rid of it for a bigger bed. So, see how she plays to mom? Makes mom think she is unhappy or whatever,ahhh to be 4.
I had two hot dogs,one plain, one with bun, cheese and tomato and i didnt eat the pie or vanilla ice cream but i did have 2butterfinger minibars. After they left we played another round of golf to clear our heads.
So, overall, I hated Sunday and Monday, but also liked it, and i didnt allow myself to cave into the stress that was left behind from the visit with them. I havent heard from them since, and i dont care if i do! I am tired of the antics over how we do what we do with mj, if i am getting compliments all over town about her, then i am not doing anything wrong. I just do things different.
So, we are considering how to keep the 'BOX' above and around her head area effect on her revised crib she sleeps in, i mean she still has soo much room to grow but now we are thinking of change. either modify it and bring out the front to put twin mattress in, and still have that cool box with lights and darkness she enjoys or to make a new one from scratch, aplatform bed, with a canopy style top that we can still cover her up with, so that she has that whimsy princessy feel to her bed still. D can build it either way, we just have to choose and go with it. We can bring a twin bed from grams, but they are all about 40-50 years old, maybe not overused, but well? i dont know,havent decided if i want anything or not. I change my mind daily.
ok, enough rambling! lol...thanks for listening gals, i love you!
friday: goal 1418, net 1445/actual 850 +-
saturday: goal 1734, net 1419/actual 300 +- because i didnt eat a lot that day, wasnt hungry at all.
sunday: goal 1576, net 1790/actual 700+- due to my marathon on tournaments all day.
monday: goal 1576, net 1400/actual 950 due to more golf all day.

BJ, My kids slept in toddler beds when they were 4yrs old. Which sounds like what you have modified her crib into. I don't see anything wrong with that. It's not like you are making her sleep on the couch or floor...geesshhh. You are doing fine, don't worry about what your mother says.
Glad to hear you didn't let the stress send you into a feeding frenzy. I tend to do that or just the opposite and not eat. I guess I am going through a not eating faze right now.
So, on another note..... IT'S FRIDAY! So, who is in for the weekend? I am so in this weekend. I did pretty good last weekend and would like to do that again and maybe even better since I am on a roll lately. I don't really have much of a plan besides not to eat like a pig, lol. We are going to wrestling tomorrow. My son is done, so it should be a nice day watching the others on the team. Got to remember to take my snacks. If they have walking tacos there, then I will eat one of those. Otherwise I will stay away from the snack counter. Oh and I plan on exercising all weekend since I fluffed off this week with work stress and all.
We were suppose to go the wake of the friend that killed himself. But, my husband is all ticked off about it and doesn't want to go. I realize that suicide is a selfish thing and I can under why he is mad. But, it's not the families fault. So, I will take something to the house or send something to the wake.
Ok, well that is it for me.... hope the weekend goes well for everyone.

Hey BJD, I agree with Cport, you're are doing fine so your mom can back off  .
Cport, I understand how your husband feels, he is angry at his friend but he just needs to realize his friend was hurting so bad and didn't see anyway out. As a friend I am sure your husband feels like....why didn't he/she reach out...the answer is they just couldn't do it. The best he can do is try to remember the good times with his friend.
As for the weekend...I am so IN . Same old plan, keep the caloires where they should be and try to get some exercise in.

Hey Hiker, did you ever figure out where your extra calories were coming from? I think I read that in your diary or somewhere.
I think that is great that you look into things like that. It's always good to know where those little extras are. I think that's why I have been struggling so bad. I just eat stuff and forget about it. Then later it's like oh yea, I did have those extra peanuts, lol. I think I am going to make my self right on a piece of paper everything I eat at the time I get it. So, that way I have to know what I am sticking in my mouth.
I think that will be my next mini goal...

I did and it was only because I keep track. I honestly thought I was eating a little bit more at supper or at least higher calorie things but nope, that wasn't it. I found it is my lunches, I have been adding a low cal wrap or a piece of pita bread whereas before I had just the soup or just a piece of chicken. I knew when I was doing it but figured it was only 80 calories or so so no big deal and it really isn't but I do need to know and now I do. I may keep the bread or I may not but now I can make a decision. I am a big believer in keeping a log...it's a pain I admit but it's worth it.
BTW Cport, I have been meaning to ask you...when I started on this whole thing a little over 2 years ago I was doing FL4I, that is how I found this site. Anyway, did you used to be on that site? Your name just seemed familiar when I first came over to the general forum.

Not that I know of... but then I do go on other sites occasionally and don't remember them, lol.
This is the only site that I use regularly besides physics diet, livingstrong, and facebook.
