Cira, thanks so much. You have always been there no matter what & I really appreciate that. I have had so many struggles this past year that I have had no time for ME ! I know you can relate I have made a promise to myself that come fall I will get back on track. I will let you know how things go. Take care of yourself and feel better soon !

hey pretty lady. i have a four day weekend coming up so very happy about that. I have way too much cleaning to do right now so it's kinda depressing me so i'm trying to not let it get me down. I was doing great with my food. I wasn't eating any sugar for a couple weeks and i was noticing major changes. the scale wasn't really moving like I had hoped and I think because of that, when i got a recent hormone surge, I let the urge to eat crap take over. I feel like crap so I'm going to get back on track. I just hope the next time this happens I can stick to my eating plan. I put too much pressure on myself. gotta relax and try to enjoy the health I do have.

as for a daily post, i think whoever starts it can determine how things go. i like to just check in and say hi. helps people get to know you so if they need help with their weight loss journey, they know they can ask us.

have a good day!

So tell me gang should we try a daily posting... first up starts it?

how shall we organize it?


for me today is HUMP day... I have to work all day but I have a hair appointment at 4:30 for color and trim!  then my bf/fiance (shhh yeah I think we'll be getting married next year) will be home from PA tonight.... he has to go up there for business a few days a week right now...


My scale was up a few pounds this morning... I plan to NIP THIS IN THE BUD so here's the food plan today


1. commute:   my yummy click mix
2.  yoplait light yogurt
3. cottage cheese w/green peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers
4.  protein bar or cookie
5. protein shake (not sure if I'll do another click mix or a  peanut butter chocolate banana shake since the last time I tried that I DUMPED... I can eat candy but drink a protein shake too fast and dump like a truck...)


exercise is not happening due to the fact that it still hurts to sneeze and cough... I will do some housework however


I need to find an electrician, a dentist, and an exterminator all today... such fun....


so what's on your agenda for today???

Hi Nessa,

That makes me very happy to hear that you are willing to help rebuild the forum. 
I can relate in still needing the support.  I still struggle at times to get enough fluids as well.

I am here when ever you need the support.

Thank you for the support. 

Sincerely,

Cira

Hi Andy,

Sorry I didn't get a chance to peek back in during the day.  Today was a busy day.  Well no worries about living in PA. I moved to Charles Town, WV  from MD and I feel like I will always belong to the MD forum.  I guess I would say I am an adopter Marylander myself. 

So glad to see your post.  How are you doing? I hope all is well.  I hope you are willing to help out with getting this place back up.  I would really appreciate the help.
 
Yes, for sure I've been enjoying the low humidity and nice weather since Irene left that I turned off the AC.  I hope it stays like this for good. 

Take care and see you around.

Cira
