hey cindy!
i survived the weekend and am down a pd! WOW! saturday i barely ate anything all day, worked out, then had a calzone with mushroom, green chile and extra cheese for dinner with beer. I had bud lite and then some amber beer. i didnt eat much more after that. sunday we took a bike ride on the riverside, which was lovely till we stopped to walk out on this pristine white beach, came back to learn that both of D's tires were flat! BAAH! So, we had to walk the bikes back to the parking lot which took us even longer...by the end we were convinced to get to walmart immed to get him new tires, and we ended up getting me a new Schwinn mountain bike, a tow behind cart for MJ to ride (her bike seat on my bike was simply too small, limiting us greatly)...it was the last one of the bike and the cart, so we took the opp. to get them. my bike was back from 95, so she was tired, rusty, etc...and i had had 2 bad accidents on her, so she and i just didnt go as "one" anymore, awkward, uncomfortable riding etc. I didnt plan for this in any way, but D had his credit card and wanted to do it, so i said ok! It means more time for us to go out and exercise as a family, so i am all for it! We plan to get back to the river next sunday in the morning with mj so i cant wait for Sunday!
my folks came down, bringing mj home last nite, so we had marinated flank steak, a warm salad with kidney beans, small potatos, corn, pepper and onion that mom made, and my tapioca. we watched the Dolphins game, so i made some margaritas for us. other than the overdose of tapioca (i adore it)...i didnt do too badly. we did get out for breakfast, but i brought half of my dish home and had coffee with it.
next weekend wont be visit with grama, she came home really tired and droopy, her eyes look so exhausted. it breaks my heart that my folks dont get her to sleep at our normal time because she is very used to it, and even if its got to be that they do everything earlier (they tend to be out later, eat later, in bed by 12 later...most days).....it throws her off alot. She even said to me this morning as she was practically sleeping in her eggs that she shouldnt go there anymore since she always comes home sick.
she is seeing the light. i am happy that this is happening. i need them to really work on this, school has changed all of it. her life is structured more than ever now.
anyway, so we had a good weeekend here. sure my shorts are tight and i am still up at mid 160's but i have a new bike that already has me wanting to get back on and go go go! :) i miss riding and enjoying myself! its been too long! at least 5 years!

BJ, that is great about the bike. I am currently trying to figure out a way to take my dog with me. She gets so upset when I leave her and would love to just strap her on me with some kind of back pack thing. I have a baby one that I never use and thought about converting it to use for her. Bike riding is so much fun and I haven't done any of it since I got her.
Well, have fun and hope we both do good next weekend.

hey cindy
sorry for the lack of response from me. i learned on friday that i have 2 fractured ribs on my right flank. i have been down and out since learning this, barely able to breathe most of the time.
so much for exercise and efforts. i need to work on recovery before anything else.
gonna disappear for a spell, to recover. i have been beating my brain and body too hard and obviously show signs of wear and tear. this injury most likely happened when Bob our horse tossed me over 2 months ago and a cough the wrong time and place sent me reeling into not breathing territory on thursday afternoon. what an eye opener. i feel so helpless. everything i do hurts. esp laying and breathing big breaths.
tryin not to get down. dont want to eat but i cant help it. no doing a darn thing for movement but the basic have to do's....
good luck and know i am still here in my head!!!

Hey Bj! I haven't been on here much myself. I am sorry about your injury. I hope you heal up fast. It can suck trying to stay on track when your down and out. It's always up in the air for me. Sometimes I pig so I feel better. Other times I am just to sick to eat. So, it really depends on the situation for me.
Well, good luck I hope u get better soon...we will miss you.

Ok, well Bj is down and out. But, I am not and have no excuses but to be good this weekend. I am already done eating for today. So, I need to focus on the weekend. We are doing our last camping trip for this year. So, I am going to go about it low key. I am packing these breakfast omelet things I got from the schwan man. I will have the veggie ones with some fried ham slices and then hubby can have the fating ones with sausage or bacon (whatever he wants). Then I will walk. We always sleep in on weekends so we always have breakfast and then a dinner/supper thing.
So, that night we will have grilled steak and potatos with carrots. Sunday will be the same for breakfast and then go home. I am still up in the air about friday night when we get there. I think I will let hubby eat snack stuff and I might have some microwave popcorn later in the evening. I would like to walk, but not sure there will be time after we get set up and stuff.
Ok, that's my plan for this weekend. Hope everyone else out there stays on track this weekend also.

Hey Cport, I will join you for the weekend. I need too stay on track too.
Friday we order out so I will go for protein and low carb. We are taking my mother in law out for lunch on Saturday to a Chinese restaurant so that will be one heck of a challenge but I will do my best. Sunday I cook so no biggy, probably some salmon and a couple of veggies...it really helps me to skip the simple carbs so I will.
Good luck.
and BJD--if you're reading this I am sorry about your ribs, I fracvtured 3 ribs and my neck...would you believe the ribs hurt more  . I swear they did, once the put the halo on me my neck wasn't too bad but those ribs...ouch...for about 3 weeks! Still, no excuse on the eating front...get on here and you go girl. You are only excused from exercise  . So what if I've taken 2 months off...I can still nag others...you know do as I say not as I do LOL. Hope you're feeling better....no lifting MJ.

hey girls....thanks for the cheers and directions! :)
i am losing weight. go figure! lol...i am down to 160.4 thankfully and i cant say i have done much of anything except get thru each day slowly. i am getting better. after learing about the ribs i ended up getting sick, or something? down and out for sure, poss depressed too! lol...but i am slowly getting back to routines. i havent gotten a video out since before hurting myself, but i am mowing again, in stages, slowly, and D does the bag lifting and removal of grass. I am resting more.
i have been doing ok i suppose. wierd how finally letting things go for a bit unstressed me maybe? i cant figure it out, but i am pleased that the scale has dropped down again, esp with less activity!
hope you two are doing well! its short days week for parent conferences, so i am gonna hit the road for now.
i will be around :)

Well, I totally blew it this weekend and am pretty upset with myself. These days it seems I am just sabotaging(?) myself. We went camping and the plan was to eat a good breakfast and then have a nice supper. Noooooo...not me...
We went to a camper show on Sat. I forgot about it and someone there at the campground reminded us. So, we went and of course we left after breakfast -so I was in no way hungry. They were serving chili dogs. YUM! So, of course I have one and it was loaded up with chili and cheese. ugh! When we got back to the campground and I forced myself to walk and was miserable the whole time cause I had overate.
Ok, then Sunday only gets better.  We have another nice breakfast...that was fine. Told myself nothing else until that night. Well, I was starving around 5pm and didn't really want to cook. So, me and hubby went up town to grab a bite. I had a big reuben with chips. Which wasn't terrible but still.
So, since my weight hasn't dropped back down. I am doing allot of sole searching trying to figure out why I keep messing up so bad when I don't want to. I have been good the last two days. Don't know if that will help or not. I will find out in the morning when I face the scale.
I sure hope you guys had a better weekend then I did...

hey guys,
i think its just human that we allow or torture ourselves by eating things we know arent good for us or our diets. its so hard to be diligent each day, each second.
i seem to be doing ok. i dont know if its cuz i got sick, and was down and out...or if its due to my not weighing in each and every day, then stressing and spiralling out of control or if its that i had distractions that took my head away from constantly obsessing about my numbers on the scale...but something changed and here i am back down to a weight i havent seen since the first week in september.
its funny how excited that makes me, and yet, i am not allowing myself to weigh in each morning to check to see if i am getting lower, fear maybe?
i know i am still eating more than i should some days, and not doing half the activity i was all summer, but i am ok, and i feel less strung out than i have for months.
i have been suffering terrible headaches however and that makes me a skanky woman to be around. i am also so very tired each day, i am not sleeping well, and in the daytime though i say i will rest, i really dont do it alot.
i hope you gals dont give up! we are not quitters! lord knows i could have given up but i didnt. I was forced to slow down and it has been good for me, which is not what i expected. I thought for sure that having to lay low from exercise for a month or so would send my weight up higher, but luckily its not happening. Thank God.
Stick with me girls. I need you out here! I miss being on here so much, but I know we are all busy and its hard to check in....just know I think of you both and hope you are trudging thru like me!!!
have a nice weekend ladies!

I see no one has been in here for awhile. But, I have wrestling started and I really need this. The weekends are hard enough. But, now that we are on the road and at meets all day long with lots of yummys, it's hard to stay on track.
So, in two day it will all start again for me. I have to work the food stand friday night then tournament all day saturday. So, I need to really be good. I might try and pop in here now and again. Force myself to be good.

Ok, it's FRIDAY and I have to be good. I have been pretty good so far today. So, trying not to spoil it. I have to work at the wrestling match. So, it will be hard to stay out of the goodies there. I am starving right now and think that maybe I should eat before I got to fend off any pig outs. That's the plan for tonight.
Tomorrow we have a tournament all day so I will pack a sandwich. But, if they have walking tacos then I will have one of those. I picked up some turkey sausage and I can make a low cal breakfast sandwich in the morning and that should do me until we get home that night.
Sunday will be hard cause the Packers are on and I like to eat good things while watching them. So, have to change that habit also. I am planning to do the tree. So, that should keep me busy and out of the kitchen.
Ok, that's the plan for the weekend. Hope I can make it...
