Mon 9/26
For starting out with so much power I am really struggling right now. I have finished my lunch and yes I am full. But I am craving sweet. I am worried that it is the stress of the week but I really need to hold out. I have been doing great and I really want to continue. I don't have time to go for a walk but I need to be distracted or something so I can focus again. UGH!

Tues 9/27
Today is just flying by. There is so much that needs to get accomplished at work and not enough employees. UGH!! So far I have been on track and have not had a desire to stray. I plan on keeping it that way. I am only going into the kitchen to get water.
Today: B: shredded wheat w/ sliced banana and ff milk S: sliced apple L: chicken veggie couscous & ff sf pudding S: popcorn, FF cottage cheese D: salad w/ sliced chicken
I have been on track with food but did not exercise last night. I need to make the time tonight no matter how late it is. I know it makes a difference.

Wed 9/28
One more day that I can successfully say I completed. I stayed on track and I feel like I am picking up momentum. ;D ;D I have family in town this week is it is a bit busy. I forgot to eat or bring breakfast this morning so I ended up have a veggie omlette with some ff milk. I could not finish the omlette which I am happy to say I toosed into the garbage. I still have not been able to schedule time to WO but I know I have to make it a priority. I am going to try and wake up a bit earlier tomorrow and do an exercise tape before everyone wakes up.
Today: B: veggie omlette, ff milk S: apple L: miso soup, baked sweet potato fries and veggie medley S: ff cottage cheese and grapes D: ww pasta w/meat sauce, salad
I have a lot of work today so I probably will not check in later today.

Wed 10/5
I missed checking in. I have been at home for the holidays and not on line. I did well though. I did not indulge in any desserts. I did overdo it with the challah for dinner on Rosh Hashana but that was it. I also got my TOM this morning. So I feel really ichy. I had some oatmeal and FF milk for breakfast and I am still full. I brought a bunch of veggies left over from dinner for lunch and I was going to head home early to make dinner. I have a meeting tonight so I would like to get organized and head to the library before the meeting.
I have not been exercising as I should so I want to focus on that over the next few days

Thurs 10/6
Been on track all day. I had 3 toasted multi grain waffles/plain & 1/2 banana. Lunch was spinach salad w/ ranch dressing. Everyone in the office is going food crazy. I weather changed and is getting colder. So I feel everyone is eating more to store fat for the winter. Just like those crazy squirrels. I have a can of tomato soup sitting on my desk to hold me over. But the salad is holding me over for now.
It feels good when I can honestly say no when someone offers me chocolate. Connie brought in a bag of peanut butter cups and I am not even tempted. Kate has been eatting them like popcorn. She will regret it but it's her body.

Fri 10/14
It has been a long time since I last checked in. Swamped at work and high holidays. I was totally on track until dinner last night. I had made an apple cobbler for dessert and could not resist. I did fast for the holiday so it was hard to stay in control when it was finally time to eat. I did only have one serving which is a positive. I saved a portion for DH since he requested in and wrapped the rest of it up to bring to work. My goal is to have other people eat it and anjoy the compliments instead of the calories. ;D It have a terrible headache and think I might still be a bit dehydrated so I am going to dring lots of water today.
B: shredded wheat w/ sliced banana and ff milk S: apple and ff cheese L: chicken and veg couscous S: 94%ff popcorn D: TBD thinking about fish

Mon 10/17
It was a very interesting weekend. I was finally able to WI at the gym and I am down 5 pounds. It feels great but I almost feel like it is my downfall at leat between that and fasting for Yom Kipper. Ever since I have been having trouble staying focused. Saturday was the worst. I ate a big piece of pumpkin bread and we also went out for dinner (very nice) and I ate everything. Including dessert. All day sunday I was trying to get back into the groove. I started reading the Huckabee book to give me strength. It has helped a bit. And I started to toss some food that has been haunting my every move these last few days. I feel like I am getting back on track but I am still volnruble (sp) and could sway at a momoents notice. I am having lunch with a client and plan on going to my usually restaurant so I can order soup and salad. I know that will fill me up so I can make it through the day. I also have planned ahead and brought snacks for the day so I should not be nibbling on things in the office. I know if I can have one good day it will give me the strength to go another and another. I know I can do it, it's just being in the right frame of mind. As MH says STOP PROCRASTINATING. So It is time to go to work and get focus.
today B: shredded wheat w/ sliced banana and ff milk S: cottage cheese and sliced apple L: soup and salad w/ chicken S: 94% ff popcorn or ff sf pudding D: TBD

Fri 10/21
I missed yesterday. I was really busy and totally forgot to check in. I did stay on track but I have not been able to motivate myself to exercise. I know if I do I will not be as tired but I just don't feel like it. Today: B: oatmeal, 1 banana L: corn chowder but it was runny and a spinach salad. I did eat a piece of bread. S: ff cottage cheese and banana D: ww pasta w/ marinara sauce and veggie meat balls, salad, and brocolli
We are having friends over for shabbat so there will be bread and they are bringing dessert. I will be fine as long as it is not chocolate cake. I am trying really hard to resist it at work today. I have made it so far but feel like I will give in if it's at the house.

Mon 10/24
I was doing great until yesterday afternoon. I did not plan ahead and presently am in a whirlwind sprialing down. I know what I did wrong and I am trying to get back on my feet. Food wise I have not really planned for this week since I will be out of town from Tuesday til Friday. So there is slim pickins at home to eat. Plus I am nervous about the trip too. So I am planning an easy dinner of salad and roasted chicken. I am trying to plan ahead with this trip. I am bringing my own cereal for breakfast each morning. I can always get fruit and ff milk but cereal I figure will be tough. I also am bringing a small cooler with ff cheese to nibble on, some apples and grapes and ff popcorn. I am hoping this will help curb my inbetween meals.
I feel so gross right now from all that I ate. UGH!
I will try to check in daily but will keep a written journal just in case.
I hope this is a good week!

Woo Hoo!!
I finally figured out how to get a ticker. So I'm a little early for the snow. Hey I live in the midwest. It could start snowing any day. Doesn't matter anyway. I was a little bummed about the Thanksgiving challenge. I didn't realize it had started til the other day. Everyone is two weeks ahead of me. You are listening to my competitive side. I should start but I am hoping that there will be another challenge after that holiday for either xmas or the new year. My personal goal is to get down another 5 lbs before Thanksgiving. Time will tell. My will power gets a bit shaky every few weeks. But I keep thinking of this as a lifestyle change and not a diet. Once I get to where I want to be I have to change otherwise I will be back at square one. At this point in my life it really is not worth it. I want to be healthy and strong for myself and my family. I also feel that by making it a lifestyle I will be teaching my kids how you should eat. I was fat as a kid and it sucked! That is proably why I am so weight conscious now. I do not want them to feel the same way I did. Teaching them to eat healthy and be active can only be good for them. Boy! I sure had a lot to unload. These boards are great! My own personal vent location.
