Wednesday Roll Call

Hello everyone

I am at work and have lots to do. 

I was really bad yesterday.  I ate a ton of Girl Scout cookies and some ice cream.  What is wrong with me???  I am going to regain all my weight I lost.  Then one of my friends was saying it was ok it's Fat Tuesday and I said thanks to my eating habbits every day is FAT for me!!!

Well I better get going lots to do.  Have a great day everyone!!! 

Remember, it was one day, you recognized what you were doing wasn't going to work if you want to be healthy.  So remember that and just start today anew and fresh and healthy.  Don't beat yourself up over it otherwise you will be more likely to 'cheat' again. 

I had the same thought yesterday when people were saying 'oh eat this, it's Fat Tuesday!" I kept thinking "it's FAT everyday in my world..." but hopefully not for much longer!

Today I get my dreaded PAP smear.  I hate hate hate hate hate getting this test done.  I have NEVER had a test done and have them get the results in the first test. They always call me back and say I have to come back in because the results were inconclusive or 'suspicious'  then they do the 2nd test and it's totally fine.  Once they did that to me twice, they called the 3rd time and asked me to come back in, I told them hell no I'll take my chances with inconclusive.

After that I hope to go and get my ashes.  Then work, hopefully it will be as uneventful as yesterdays lunch period was.  Then I have GOT to get to work on Blue/Gold stuff.  I still have favors to make, a program to create, and preparing their patches for the advancement ceremony.

Have a good day everyone and hey! we're halfway to the weekend!!!

Good morning Crystal and the rest of Illinois!

 

Don’t beat yourself up too much Crystal.  Carol M. is right.  On the Graduates Yahoo Group, one of the ladies talks about the “U-Turn" and it makes sense.  It is just the simple idea that when you find yourself heading in the wrong direction make a “U-Turn" RIGHT AWAY……….back away from whatever negative thing is happening and turn around.  Do not get into the old thinking of, “I screwed it up, the damage is done, I might as well keep going."  Today is a new day.

 

I am right there with you.  I have not been making very good choices lately.  Not sure why, but more snacks are creeping into my day.  I am working on getting a handle on it.  For me, the thing that works the best is to go back to protein shakes for a couple of days, but I LOVE my protein.  After about 3 days, I find that I am no longer hungry and have lost the “out of control" feeling. 

 

Last night, I went home and David wound up helping me in the kitchen, chopping onions and peppers for some recipes.  It was nice spending time together and working side-by-side.  He is becoming a wonderful young man (when he is not trying to drive me crazy!)

 

Tonight, I will pick up the smoked meats as I did not make it last night.  I am making a Caribbean inspired steak tonight and will post that too if it is good. 

 

Everyone have a spectacular day!

Good morning all!

Crystal, Don't beat yourself up. You slipped up. Use your frustration for what you ate as motivation to not do it again. :)

Yesterday was a really good lesson for me. I was very stressed all day. I have a bunch of stuff going on at work and at home and it was very overwhelming. I had been looking forward to going to the gym all day and I am so glad I went. It was such a stress relief and today I am so glad I worked out instead of going home right away. I think if I had gone home right away and skipped the gym it would have feed my depression and instead the work out helped flush that bad crap out of me!

Today I have my 3 months appointment with my surgeon.. yeah it's a month late. I am looking forward to meeting with Dr. Kane and hearing how he thinks I am doing.

Good Afternoon.
Crystal, we have all been there.
At work also, and going to get off early, so I can make my PT appointment. Then out to dinner with friends. I did get in one round of back exercises this morning, and will do them again this evening. It did feel great to get back to the treadmill last night. I can use it on any day that I donot have PT. YEAH!!!!
Stay warm, Stay safe.

Huggers,
Lisa
