I was just miserable all day yesterday slept most of the day. Stayed OP but failed to get to the gym I was just too tired.

Apparently that works for me cause WI this morning I was down 4 lbs YAY! :bcb_up I think my hard work is finally paying off. I was almost startled to see what the scale told me, I'm not gonna argue though.

So today I want to do all the things I had planned to do yesterday. We can eat today but if I dont get to the store today we are gonna starve.

I hope everyone has a great OP day.:bcbkickbu

Good Morning Ladies...

It is another frosty morning here in Southern California. I am not kidding when i tell you that my car was frosted over yesterday morning. I looked at it, i touched it, i said WOW. I moved 3000 miles to get away from this weather and it has finally caught up with me! It only took 26 years but it caught up with me. Now i have to get the heater in my car fixed for sure. I hardly ever need it but this week i've really wanted it. Lucky for me i always have blankets around, i just give my son a blanket in the car on the way to school and he is comfy.

Yesterday i was so tired from my party weekend. I got laundry done and i did the grocery shopping but it seemed like i was moving in slow motion. And, in the afternoon i gave in to temptation and tried the candy on the counter. I only had a few peices but still it was giving in to temptation. And afterwards i felt annoyed with myself for doing it. Thankfully the rest of the day was good so i just counted the points and moved on.

Today i'm going with the contractor to pick out a shower door for MIL's bathroom. He wanted her to come but she has taken the day off and is going shopping for the rest of her stuff. So, pray that i have good judgement in picking out her shower door!!

So.... where is everyone this morning??

NDLaura... sorry to hear that you were not feeling well, but WTG on your loss!! 4lbs is fantastic!!

Ok... i'm off and running. Hope everyone has a great, OP day!!

[stagemomx3]

NDLaura- Congrats on the 4lb loss that is fabulous!!!! Sorry you weren't feeling well yesterday though.

Melody- Frost in California huh, who would have thought? Good luck picking out a shower door for your MIL. We've been doing some preliminary discussion about house stuff for when we start building and with 4 adults try to make decisions it is going to be interesting.

I've got some cleaning I need to do today and my Couch to 5K run, I think my 8 year old is going to go with me again.

[nan-see]

morning!

Mel - I froze my butt off thismorning too. This is a little too cold for my liking! BUT I am glad. AFter last weeks high temperatures, I was really worried this trip back east would be a complete shock to the system. But this week we are having almost the same temperatures as them!

ND Laura and NurseLD - wow! :headover: I gotta bust out the spinners for you gals - grea loss this week! :headover:

Michelle - enjoy your run!

OK - SO - I really liked SusE's QOTD yesterday.
And i think we should do it again today.

Last night I was just lump on the couch and then I remembered the QOTD and my pledge to get everything ready so I pushed myself up and got everything ready - I managed to leave for the gym 10 minutes earlier!

SO - i'm going to repeat my pledge from yesterday:
I am going to FULLY prepare all my stuff the night before.

OK! who's next???

N :bcb_salut (the drunk guy is kinda growing on me)

[stagemomx3]

Nansee I like the drunk guy. :bcb_salut

I just finished my Couch to 5K run with my 8 year old. He is a great running partner. Don't tell my DH, but I like running with the 8 year old better than running with him. I also did Firm Upper Body Sculpt this am.

Hmmm my pledge from yesterday? I'm gonna have to go look it up.

TTFN.

[Laura1008]

Okay I did look up my pledge from yesterday. I drank most of my water yesterday, I failed to buy the vegetables I needed yesterday but I've already gone and got them now so I am fully stocked veggies and fruit. Drank half my water for the day so far. I was too tired yesterday being sick and all that I didnt make it to the gym. Its definetly on the slate for today. The results speak for themselves.

[MelodyC]

QOTD... Today i will make sure to get in my Healthy 8's. Yesterday i did fairly well, all my water, vitamin, veggies and milk. I could use more oil and i was too tired for exercise. So far today i've been busy and it will be a long day for me, what with ds having his confirmation class tonite so it is not at all a lazy day, just no time for exercise.

Ok... off to go drink some more water before i have to make another run to the store and then pick ds up from school. bbl to check in....:bcb_salut

[stagemomx3]

Went and looked at my pledge from yesterday and I did plan out my meals and keep to my exercise schedule. Today I also kept to my exercise schedule. I did not however plan out my meals. I'm struggling with dinner right now, I just never know what to fix. I'm trying to avoid the frozen meals for myself because I feel like they have to much sodium in them. However I don't necessarily want to eat hot dogs, mac & cheese, and pizza which seems to be what my DH and children want to live on. We have swim team again to night so I need to have a plan thought out before we go. Since the conversation at swim team always goes like this-

:bcb_smile What do you want to have for dinner?
:bcb_worry I don't know what do YOU want to have for dinner?

Back and forth like the vultures in the Jungle Book!

[nan-see]

Michelle - I have to laugh at your post - we have the same conversation every night.
OR - it goes like this:

DBF: what are we having for dinner?
me: not sure, what are you in the mood for
DBF: i'm sure whatever you decide will be fine
me: OK - i think i'm going to have (insert nice Core dinner here)
DBF: oh........

:bcb_grin
ah well, he should know by now.
actually dbf has gone off the deep end lately. he wanted to "get in shape" and started doing Core when i made the switch. That lasted halfheartedly about 2 weeks, then it's like not only did he give up but he's eating worse than before he tried.
I have a hunch that in his mind he's thinking "i'll enjoy everything now and after the holidays i'll really buckle down".
there's not much I can say - he's got to want it for himself.

Anyhoo - i've babbled on about him enough!

Quick girl question for you all - has anyone out there ever "skipped" there TOM? like on purpose - by starting a new pill pack right away? TOM's going to arrive Monday and between staying at relatives and our vacation in NYC i' really don't want to deal with it, so i was thinking of doing this.
I spoke to the nurse at my gyn's office and she said it's fine to do and there won't be any sideeffects, but i'd love to get someone's real opinion.

BBL!

N :bcb_salut

[stagemomx3]

Nansee- I have not ever done that, of course it's been like 12 years since I took BC pills. I would totally do it though to avoid dealing with TOM while away from home.

[nan-see]

uh...... Bushra? Laura? Vicki? where is everybody???

:bcb_drill

[MelodyC]

Nanc... I didn't know you could do that... and i was on BC pills for what seemed like forever. But, if the nurse said it was ok to do then i'd go for it. I have had the fun of traveling at TOM and it sucks... do whatever it takes to be comfortable if you can.

[MelodyC]

Ladies...

I am so happy with myself tonite. First, i did not graze/eat junk this afternoon as has happened so often in the past. Second, the guys wanted a non-core dinner (hot dogs/sausages and oven fries) so i made myself a huge salad with tuna and ff dressing and i made them the dinner they wanted. I started eating before they did and finished after them (salad is a very slow meal). Now i'm satisfied and best of all do not feel guilty for eating it just cause it was there.

Now i just have to get thru the Christmas potluck for the confirmation classes and i'll be happy with myself for sure.

Hope everyone is having a great OP day!!:bcb_salut
