Our Busy Little Lives!

So... are we trying to make up for lost time (all those years of being MO) that we have now overloaded our daily routines?!? For me, I worked 16 or 17 days straight beginning on October 22 and have begun tackling painting the interior of my home. Let's throw a yard sale onto the pile and a trip to north Texas tomorrow am for the next five days for a speaking engagement. And let's not forget Thanksgiving and Christmas shopping and Christmas.... And in another 2 1/2 to 3 weeks I have another surge at work, probably another two weeks with no time off leading right up until Christmas eve. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As far as weight loss goes, I am so glad I did a modified 5 day pouch test prior to my long stretch at wor****pt focused for the first week.. but then things got a bit hairy at work and all the "bad" food... donuts, kolaches, pizza, subs, chips.... called my name. So I went full force back onto carbohydrates and by the time I had some time off I felt miserable again. I put on a few pounds during my pigfest but have managed to take them off. So here I go again, detoxing my body of carbs with the 5 day pouch test. I have been trying for a few days to do the two days of liquids and have struggled so much. Maybe I will be successful today!!

I know the feeling Diane. I did really well on the pouch test, but then life kicks in with all the busyness and stresses, and I'm back to those carbs and candy like a bee to honey. I really need to do the 5 day plan again as it helped me control the carb monster inside me. It's great that we are living our lives to the full now - that's what wls is all about, but I for one, need to learn how to balance it all, now that I'm not so focussed on my eating. First out it was easy to focus on eating right and make that the priority in my life, now it's a struggle. Good luck with the liquids

Go luck and I will be sending you happy thoughts and wishing you the best of success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
