i need YOUR help old timers..and newbies too i guess.
You are most certainly NOT alone...the rest of us just don't have the guts to admit we have the same issues. I've been on the "up" with my weight lately, but I'm resolved to get a grip on it and stop it, heck...I'm gonna reverse it. Menu planning is hard for me. I used to say it was because my hubby & I had different diets, but now that he's a WLS'er, i don't have that excuse (he's 18mos post op). He's tolerated foods way differently than I did, too, which makes it hard. Sugar and breads are my biggest weaknesses.
Going to a gym isn't something I'd ever do, just not me. I do, however, walk at least 5x a week, for at least an hour. We got a new puppy back in january, and I resolved to walk him every night. Since you have J - maybe you can find somewhere you can walk while he rides his bike? A local park or something? And if he's eaten dinner before you pick him up, maybe you could just stop off on the way home? I know how I am, once I get home and into my 'lounging' clothes, I don't wanna go back out. I purposely put on my 'walking clothes' when I change from work so I can't back out. And when Yogi's little face starts giving me the "look" around 7pm, I know it's time to get out & get him walking, lol.
Just wanted to let you know you're not alone!!

About the dinner thing. i DO stop and pick something up and normally that option sucks. lol I cant eat a salad in the car, so therefore whopper jrs have become my friend :( I WISH i wasnt like that. I need to start coking and just EAT at HOME. I bought salad stuff last night and i plan to have meat and salad at night!
