me too!

I'm with ya Terrie...eating well, staying on points, but it's all I can do to not keep eating! Don't know what it is...maybe the gray, rainy day? Anyhoo, I haven't given in and have been drinking a ton of water to keep this nagging desire to eat, at bay!

Sorry for your headache...we had those insurances at one point...can't you get your prescription now and then get a reimbursement from your insurance when you get the card? Or, can't you get them to give you the info you need so you can pick up the prescription? It would seem, if you are covered, they should be able to help you out, without having the actual card...I know, insurances are a pain though :/

Wendy, I'm sorry there's heavy grief right now...I know there is always grief, but sounds like it's just a little heavier today/right now...I'll pray for Gods comfort and for the motivation to do that which will bring Him glory...whether it's in points or not...being sick NEVER helps...you just want to eat whatever might sound good...I'm glad you're taking a break from Boot Camp.

Please pray I'll stay on points this weekend too...Steve is going camping with Owen, so it'll be me and the girls...fun, but makes me want to take my bag of M&M trail mix to the couch and eat the whole thing while he's gone, and the girls are in bed :0 We know that's not necessary, so pray I'll have a long term focus...Olivia's birthday is coming and I will, again, eat cake for a few days, so I need to stay very committed until then...thanks girls!

Okay, off to finish packing for their trip...yes, me packing for THEIR trip...course, if I let Steve, the car would be full of every possible necessity known to man, so I actually keep it more minimal (which means less washing and unpacking when they come home Sunday!!)!!

Chat later!


I shouldn't be hungry..

I had a sandwich round with ham, cheese, lettuce & tomato; 1 cup acorn squash; 1/2 apple; and some let over stir fry veggies (delish!) for lunch.  BUT I WANT MORE!!! 

So I'm writing this to be accountable.

I'm off to help my mom shop for a swimsuit.  She needs one for the summer and had no luck at Wal Mart yesterday, she took the bus.   But Kohl's is having a sale and she asked me to help her, so since she rarely flat out asks I will help her.   The boys will have a ball!   I will want to snack (packed carrots for me)!

I'm also having a headache today that was pretty intense (took Excedrin) and is still nagging. I did get a prescription for the Dr. this week for migraines, but don't have our prescription cards.  Bob had to reorder and we won't get those until next week.  I think I could use something a little stronger for this headache today.   We have odd insurance because his parent company is out of NJ.  Good insurance but everything is a different card.   Do you know anyone else with Aetna and Medco?  Who is Medco? Well they are my prescription company.   Anyway that's my rant for the day.  

At least I didn't eat anything while typing!

Friday Weigh In 5/21/10

Well it's a .2 gain.  Not a huge surprise.   I've struggled for 2 weeks now.  I need more veggies and the RIGHT choices in foods.

So I'm where I was 3 weeks ago.  I just lost 3 weeks to loose weight as I'm where I was at 3 weeks ago. 
I keep thinking what if I wasn't doing WW where would I be?  So grateful to have lost 17 lbs. in total and not gained 17 more!   

So I will give this week a great shot with more exercise too!

Have a great weekend girls!

wed weigh in

Weigh in was almost (so close) to what I was before the gain. Good enough. I gotta keep truckin' here, even though I'm back to not caring (it's the grief roller coaster). No exercise here until I am well. I think bootcamp was not a good idea when sick and I am worse now than in the beginning of it. Jessica has agreed to allow me to put things on hold, so I lose no money.

Gotta go- the floors are begging to be cleaned. Lot's of dust coming in from behind the black tarp!

How is everyone doing?

Had a good day today.   Monday & Tuesday I had cake both days. My mom was staying with us and she is this 111 lb woman who eats dessert every night so I felt I needed to have dessert.   So I made the yummy 6 minute chocolate cake and had a piece both days.  So over both days in points. I tried to eat less but was just hungry, cake is not very filling.

Today in points, right foods.  NOW to keep it that way. Bob is gone again tonight so no sancking here!!  Will watch American Idol.  LOST is recorded, we hope to watch it Thursday.

How was weigh in Mama Dub?

I know...

Hey there!

Terrie, as I always say, that's why we do WW...a flub here and there is real life...mine was Sunday...went to Fox Hills golf club for brunch...I did fine until I saw the chocolate coconut torte...had a whole piece with no regrets since I really only ate a salad and veggies before that...but the waffle cone of full fat ice cream for dinner did me in LOL! That's all I ate all Sunday, but I"m sure it put me into the full use of my extra 35 points...hoping I didn't go over that, but, either way, not the best choices :) Oh well, what matters is "what you do next" and I"m good today!!

How nice that your Mom is there...I say don't even look at your doctor scale...no point! Just say "I choose to only recognize my home scale, so please don't share the number with me!" That's what I always did when preggo...no biggie! Save yourself the unnecessary angst!!!!!

I will pray FERVENTLY for us all...I am doing good with nothing after dinner, but REALLY want to stay in points and get some exercise now that school is much lighter for us too...I have until Olivia's birthday (the 12th or 13th of June) to feel good again...so pray for satisfaction and will power...good choices and the understanding that I do HAVE to say "no" sometimes!

Off to wash the floor...must count for some exercise I think :)

It's Monday

Are we all back on track from the weekend?
I will say I actually had an OK weekend.  Stayed in points and not a lot of snacking.  Note: I didn't say Friday I stayed in points.  Had some doughnut challenges on Friday.  

Looking to have a good week.  Hope you do too!

I have a regular Dr. appt today and I'm sure not looking forward to the Dr. scale. It's always higher then my morning weigh in.  Oh well, I know what I use as a measurement to loose weight.

My mom is staying with us for a few days.  Sunday - Tuesday so I can go to the Dr. and she enjoys some company. The boys are watching Let's Make A Deal with her right now and then Price Is Right.  They love to do that with Grammy.   School was very short today, reading and some writing worksheets. We are all done with math.  Oh this is my weight loss blog - well anyway that's my update.
