I like your style, Cassie.

So, today marks my one-year anniversary on FitDay! Whew! When I started, I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. I remember a friend (a casual user of the site) had mentioned it to me, and I thought, "Oh, I'll see what that's all about." I had no real intention of starting a 'weight-loss program' or anything, I just thought I'd put some food in the log and see what it said. Here I am, a year later and minus almost 37 lbs (although probably more like over 40 lbs, if you count from my highest weight recorded a couple months before FitDay.) Anyway, on one hand, I wish I had gotten farther in this year, and probably 'should' have been able to, but I realized what worked for me was not setting goals that are very strict, because I had a tendency to fall off the wagon at the first sign of failure. I think I've gotten over that maybe a little. Additionally, sometimes life gets in the way and you have to take a break - I got my insulin pump in the middle of March, and basically didn't lose a pound between then and the beginning of June, so I could focus on that. Anyway, just wanted to mark the date, and say a HUGE thank you to you guys - I really mean it when I say that without you all, I wouldn't have lost 5 lbs.

Yesterday was a total, disastrous fail for me. I absolutely cannot have buffet-type foods in the house. I don't think that I've eaten a single, healthy thing since Friday. Sent 4 boxes of food to my husbands bank yesterday for their lunch, daughter took 2 platters of sweets to work yesterday (a restaurant, which is kind of funny...) and I still have some left.

Today, I promise to do better. Now that I have room in the fridge, I have to restock on fresh fruits and veggies.

Lots of errands to run that can't wait and we are having really severe thunderstorms today. (Wind gusts between 50-70 mph are predicted.) Should be interesting! (Live dangerously... run with scissors, I always say! ;))

Have a wonderful day and I hope it's sunny and dry wherever you are!

Hi everybody!
 

:( I think its safe to say that I fell off the wagon. :o crap.

Oh well its time to suck it up. I did well yesterday and went to bed starving. It will take a few days to get my body back into routine after going away to Halifax for a few days. All we did was eat out at restaurants - it was nice to get away though. I will try to think more positively for the remainder of the week but feeling pretty poopy right now.

Hope everyone is well!

welcome back Jho. Did you put your goals in white? I didn't see them...:confused:;):p

awwww.. can I do 6 days starting today?

Here are my goals:
1) no more than 1650 calories
2) 8 glasses of water
3) stretch daily
4) walk or gym 2 days this week
5) try to remember you're the adult

Hi everyone.
Quinn, so glad the party went so well. I hear ya about the leftover foods tho; that always gets me.

Kudos for the weight loss, Tracey! Can we get a dancing banana for this woman?

April, love the nails.

I have only been able to browse the responses. I hope to be able to read and respond to more posts. To say that things have been stressful and crazy does not even begin to decribe things here. But I took what I hope are some positive steps (see goal 5) and I am hoping, praying for the best.
