Topic: baking
The triplets and I came home from swimming and the gym and I've been baking ever since...
cookie dough was my downfall and apparently still is- I may not dump- but man do I get some serious gas and feel like crap afterwords...
Someone from my old Boot Camp class is in my Pilates class and we were talking about the new Boot Camp class and I was talking about how the cardio is killing me and she said... oh- I always thought you were a runner. i laughed and she thought I was nuts- she said you always looked like a runner to me. Funny!!! :)
Man- we've come a LONG way!!! :)
Goodnight-

I went to a local event in Sacramento a couple of months ago. It was fun, but small scale like you said. This should prove to be much more informative and fun!

Wow! How exciting for you! I went to an OH event last year and had a blast..it was a small scale but there was lots of good information and I enjoyed it. I know you and your dh will have fun too! And hey, the kids will still have fun on Halloween with out the big party...like you said..there will be lots of candy to be gotten somewhere! And yes I remembered how much you enjoy halloween! lol And not having the party this year will give you an excuse to have a really big blow out next year!! That is if nursing school does not have you too worn out.

Hey there! 80 lbs is wonderful and nothing to feel like a failure over. It would have been extrememly hard for you to lose that without having surgery. Also, you mentioned that you eating habits have changed, that's awesome.
Try going back to the basics, protein first and then water, water, water. Vent here anytime you want.

Aw, Jen....I'm so sorry that you are feeling defeated...but you are not a failure. You have, thus far, lost more than 1/2 of what you wanted to lose. 80 pounds is a lot to lose for anyone! If you aren't gaining, then you should look at what you are doing right, and do that more often. In contrast, you already acknowledge that the carbs are too high and must be tamed. This is a great first step. It is hard to get back on track when it is so easy to get off track...but just because it's difficult doesn't mean that it's impossible. A journey begins with a million little steps...so, don't be discouraged!! You can do this!!!
I have to admit that I don't know the demands of having twins or triplets, but I do know how much it takes to raise three kids. It can drive anyone to fall away from good habits and to forget to put ourselves first sometimes. However, you are worth fighting for!! You are worth the time that it takes to log your food and to plan your menu for the coming day. Once you are in the habit, it will only take a few minutes each day...and believe me, the accountability of just logging your food does wonders on the scale.
My biggest piece of advice to you, though, is this: Make time to connect with others for support. Someone is always here to talk to about what ever is happening in your life...even if it seems trivial or unimportant. We live to support each other and love to see "new" old faces around here! Also, use your profile! Get those thoughts down on "paper" before they pile up and sabotage your weight loss efforts. I think that we all can agree that for many, if not all, of us, emotions played a huge role in us becoming fat and unhealthy. Believe me, I post some things that may seem silly or trivial to some (a lot of crap about school) and that is certainly only important to me...but I write it down anyway. It really does take some of the pressure away for me.
Come back for Monday Morning Weigh Ins!! That is when we all touch bases for the week, and I find that I don't feel complete without it after all of these months and weeks! I look forward to seeing you around more often.
