St. Patty's Day/Journals

Yep. New day. Post 'em ______________________________________________________________ I'm not doing so well. Still. Proof: Breakfast- 1 slice frozen french toast (Trader Joes Multigrain) 24 oz coffee/light cream/= I didn't weigh in this morning, I figured that I didn't need a disappointment so early in the day, KWIM? I may not even be as high up as I have been, but still, I really can't bear to see it go up any more. I am thinking I might even just put the scale out of my line of vision until after vacation. I know that *I personally* need to see my progress numerically to keep myself in check, but when it starts going the wrong way, I get stressed about it and I'm doing way more damage trying to AVOID doing damage. Does that make sense? I know I shouldn't be stressing about my weight, it's just that I want more, and it's so hard, and the more I try the worse I do lately. Anyways- now that I've vented- I'm off to tackle the day. No plans, a bit more springish cleaning, I did some curtains & windows yesterday, and two drawers in the kitchen... Shaved the boys' head and made him hold the vacuum-tube at the same time... hows that for a Flowbee? Need to get to the store at some point, the girls need cough meds, sounds like the ER in here lately. Yuck. I'm babysitting 11:30-8pm, but DH has an "early" night today, and will be home by 5:30pm, which is such a rarity! Okay, I'm really going now... and perhaps I'll also hide the rice krispy treats I made FOR THE CHILDREN last night so I don't EAT them all. Beth Someday I'll fly, someday I'll soar, someday I'll be so much more than my body gives me credit for. Why is it not my time? What is there more to learn? Shed this skin I've been tripping in, never to quite return... -J.

Happy St. Patty's Day!!! Today is a new day. I am going out to lunch today at a nice restaurant. The last time the girls in the office went was the week before my surgery and I got a 4 cheese pasta dish knowing that I would never be able to eat it again. Boy was I right! The thought of it now makes me want to hurl!!! Pre B - Mocha a la Dawn: 1 T. decaf coffee powder, 1 sf swiss miss cocoa, splash of skim milk B - 1/2 c. cottage cheese, 1/2 c. fruit salad (apple, banana, oranges, grapes) working on 20 oz of water I'll update lunch later. I hope I can get some kind of fish, chicken or a salad with either on it. Dawn 287/192/165

Beth, I just want to thank you for starting these threads every day. It really helps! B - protein shake, 2 cups coffee with sf creamer 23.7 oz Melon Propel S - beef jerkey L - ? S - protein bar D - ? SO claims we are going out to dinner (big snow storm coming) I have exercised pretty good already today! 15 min brisk walk with dog. 5 min top speed on eliptical. 10 push ups (hate em). 100 leg lifts, 100 arm lifts. 20 min nookie.

For lunch I had a Taco Salad. I skipped the afternoon protein bar. All done with my water for the day, so the rest is just bonus!!!

Had the damn protein bar....started to get light headed.

Just caught your exercise in this old thread. Nice. Beth Someday I'll fly, someday I'll soar, someday I'll be so much more than my body gives me credit for. Why is it not my time? What is there more to learn? Shed this skin I've been tripping in, never to quite return... -J.
