Sailor D, I started strong, ended weak.
Erin, like you, I must get back on the wagon! Like you, I must cut out the sugar and get back to exercise.
Debbie, you are right about the weigh in! I actually started thinking about it. It will be good motivator. You guys will help keep me on track!
Thank you all. The fact is I feel crummy when I eat like this and it's not worth it. Your support is so great and I hope I can help you guys in the same way. If only by being a bad example lol. I mean a good example, a good example!!!

I am going to try to keep the calories extra low to balance out what I did yesterday. My weight was way up this morning which was no surprise given what I ate. Looks like I was not the only one who had a rough day. If we can be on plan 90% of the time we will still make progress just not as fast.I am starting off with a 40 min. treadmill walk and then do some light weight work. Make it a great day today.

Good morning all! I'm finally feeling well enough to workout so I did day 17 of my 30 day rotation....right where I left off last week. It was tough but it felt sooooo good to get my sweat on
To those that had a bad day recently or are even having one today...you know we all have them. The most important thing to do when you have a day like that (well in my opinion that is) is to not let it get you so down that you have another bad day and start that downward spiral. You know the one where we begin to doubt ourselves and feel like a failure and think we can't do this weight loss thing. Think it's only possible for other people who have will power We all got here by repeatedly having bad days didn't we! Well I'm here to remind anyone who is having a tough day that you CAN do this! It's not always easy, but it's ALWAYS worth it...and you're worth it!
Wishing all my fitday buddies an awesome day...a day where everything seems to easily fall in place and seems effortless (one can wish right ). Have an awesome day everyone!

Plan:
egg whites, no nitrite ham and toast
100 calorie pack of nuts
roast chicken sandwich with lettuce
apple
chicken and veg or if take out, something hopefully mellow, shrimp steamed or chicken broiled or grilled
I am going to be staying over at a friend's whose trouble is she doesn't eat enough. (stress) And I want to eat carefully becuase my stomach still hurts from my last episode.

I got up to get some breakfast and one of the cats was on the kitchen sink. she jumped down and then i say a bit of brown hurry away. Thought it was a mouse. It turned out she had a little brown bird in the sink. I caught it and dried it off, and put it in the cat carrier. I left it alone for a bit , gave it a chance to dry off and get its feathers in place. Took it out side and iti flew away. So MIke that quilifies for a rak. So one up on you.
Debbie it does feel so good to work hard enough to sweat.
Hope the trick is to not do things that make your tummy hurt. I have the same problem sometimes. THe body likes being taken care off and reacts baddly after awhile when we go back to old habits.
I havefound that to much junk food just doesn't taste as good as before.
REMEMBER: Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, And today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.

Hi all. It's 2 pm and so far today things are going well. I did my 40 minute walk and light weight work out to Debbie. I am glad that you are feeling better. Just take it easy and don't do too much too soon.
Hope, Nyda and any one else who wants to, come and weigh in with us on Friday. The more the merrier. We can all support each other.
Thanks for the pep talk. I am feeling stronger today to fight my demons.
Lets all have a great day.

Today was much better than yesterday. The guys were not eating junk in front of me and that helped a lot. I ate healthy meals and no snacks. Drinking extra water helped cut the hunger. I plan on going to bed early tonight. Good night all.
