This week I will:

2) drink 64 oz water daily minimum: 56/96 yow!/104
3) meditate: yes/yes/yes

5) do my trope chanting: yes/yes/yes
6) try to eat under 1500 calories (with one day off):1795/1439/1179


Welcome MunaAmin; your goals sound good! I hope you can achieve them!!! You'll get lots of support here, that's for sure!

I probably should add to my goals try not to eat too much when my father-in-law comes up this weekend. He loves to eat in restaurants and I always always overeat when he's here. So unofficial goal #7, have a plan before we go out or stay in and snack.

Hey Glenda, 104 oz of water! Woo hoo!

Yay!!! Great job. I barely got my water intake in yesterday. It was right at 128 oz! I will be glad when some more weight comes off so I decrease my water intake a little. You know though, when I dont drink enough I can tell the difference. It's amazing what that clear liquid does!!

Report for Tuesday:

1. Eat 1500 calories Mon-Wed; Thursday-Saturday-Enjoy the food but not over stuff!!, NO, No
2. Drink 128 oz water EVERY DAY!!!, Yes, Yes
3. Exercise at least 30 minutes daily, Yes, Yes
4. Most important: DO NOT GAIN ANY WEIGHT, So far, so good, still no gain!!

This is definately a hard week! I honestly will be glad to see Christmas come and go. I am excited for the kids, I cant wait for them to open their gifts but mom is stressed to the max!! I start a new job Tuesday, so I am trying to prepare for that. As well as finish up loose end with the company I currently work for since Thursday is my last full time day. The big boss asked me this morning if I would continue to do their billing for them until they found someone. Of course I said yes because I have a hard time saying no and I could use the extra $. But I have no idea how I can accomplish this. I guess nights and weekends!

So is everyone finished with their shopping? I still have more to buy so I am going out tonight after work and finish up on Friday. I am really behind this year!!:D

Hey, gmantych - I'm starting a new job next week, too. Trying to be excited about it, but it's further away and less $ (20% less!) than the job I lost in October. Canary, you're doing well! I didn't do too bad - created a new food for the cotton candy I ate!
Munamin - I was STARVING the entire time I was breastfeeding. Don't think I coulda limited myself to 2000 cal's. Congrat's on the baby girl. I wasn't able to lose any weight until I was able to get sleep (years later, as I'm a single mom).
Kittensniffles - I totally revert to a teenager whenever I go to my parents' or sister's house. I feel constantly hungry, though I know I'm not. Stress, I guess. Luckily, they're within short driving distance now, so I can limit the time I spend there.
Ran outside this morning, and it was COLD. But glad I got it over with! Have a great day everyone!

Hang in there, something else will come up. I swear its easier to find a job when you already have one!;)

I know how you feel about taking a pay cut. I left work last year when my mom got sick so I could be with her. It took me almost a year to find my current job and I had to take 31% decrease in pay. But I had to think of it in the positive. It was more than I was making sitting at home after my unemployment ran out!! But with my new job I am getting a nice increase so I will almost be back at my normal salary. Which will be nice since DH's work is so slow.
