It's a beautiful Day!! Today I will..6/13

Good Morning one and all!!!!

Lets hope day two of no rain.

Yesterday was a great day!!!! Not to bad at work, My main boss....who has only commented once on what I was wearing or how I looked, told me I looked very nice today!!!!! the weather was good... didn't eat anything that made me sick....had a date.... , and yes it was with Jerry!!!

My goals for today!!!!!

1.WATER, WATER, WATER.


2. Journal


3.Walk


4. Mindful eating


5. Be good to myself


Yesterday I:

1. WATER
did better at this, but have to try harder.


2. mindful eating....start journal.
Did so so at this....I ate some of what I probably shouldn't of ate... however, and this is a big one... when pouchie said...your fine... I stopped. Didn't get sick at all today.. no tummy upset, now foamies, nothing....



3. walk
Need to work on this a little more


4. be good to myself.
Getting better at this one... I am learning to pamper myself a little...for the first time in my life I am keeping legs and underarms mowed. I wear earrings almost everyday, I am looking at and thinking about cute undie things....


5. not call Jerry.
I did good at this one....sort of... I didn't call him.....HE CALLED ME!!!!!!!! We met for coffee, and talked, and talked, and TALKED. And guess what!!!!!!! I asked him how he felt about formal get togethers....(thinking about Gala in November) I had to explain it, and he said ya, he's open to most anything, depending on what is going on with his kids....which I can respect. This told me a lot... I think we are both looking at this as a very possible relationship. We have to go slow because both of us work a lot, and have other obligations, and things going on in our lives. But I like the idea that he is looking long term also....sorry for going on about this, but this guy has really made an impression on me.

Hope everyone has a great day, and a great weekend, I am looking forward to Coffee on Saturday...all the good things in my life right now have to do with coffee...coffee groups, my wonderful new wls friends, and Jerry...go me!!!!

Diane~Congrats on finding a good guy!  I hope that things continue to go well for you.  I too am hoping for day 2 of no rain!  I would love to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather! Today I will...get in 100 ounces of water, not snack after dinner, concentrate on my food while I am eating and not get so distracted, decide what to do with my hair (debating light body wave and/or cut), get in some exercise (not sure what depends on if I get my hair done tonight), pack up food to bring with up to Hinckley tomorrow, and spend some time in prayer.  Yesterday I...get back into my routine!--yup and boy did it feel good,  drink at least 80 ounces of liquid--I drank almost 100!, not snack at night--nope fell into the same trap that keeps getting (I hate the nighttime munchies), no grazing--did good except for last night, go to my 6 month check up--yup everything is looking good I just need to get in and get my labs drawn now, go to yoga--yep and it felt great I took a C2 (more advanced) level class and was told by the teacher after that I "looked like you really enjoyed yourself it looked like second nature" what a compliment!, prep and cook food for the next week--yup cooked up 2 chicken breasts, cut up & bagged & froze a bunch of veggies, made some extra quinoa, and start organizing living room--nope cooking took a bit longer than expected and after all of that I was ready to relaxe! 

Good morning!  This weekend will be hit or miss and probably more miss as I work 18+ hours a day at the Ren Faire stuff.

Nicole!  Great to see you back!  you were really missed girlfriend!!  Diane!  great news about Jerry  :)  I'm thrilled for you!!

OK here we go! Today I WILL: - drink lots of water - eat mindfully and not graze nor snack - walk - enjoy being around like minded folks - thrill to the sound of the medieval music  :)  There is an international band at the faire again this year and they stay in our camper...  they are out of this world good and so very friendly  :) Yesterday I: - water     I drank a bunch but not enough as I was running around working on faire stuff and trying to find the 2 coonhounds that got loose. - food     I did terrible.  I had a protein bar for breakfast - cheesey poofs for a snack- 2 pieces of fried cod, a couple of forkfuls of cole slaw and 1 ring and a couple of fries for dinner. *gag*  - exercise     didn't get a walk in nor the bowflex but did a bit of walking aorund as I helped where I could setting up the faire - relaxation     I stayed home when Roger went over fo the last trip to the faire.  I just couldn't go anymore and went to bed.  Probably a byproduct of all that fried food in my system. 

Lori~Thanks it is good to get back, I loved the warm sunshine, but am happy to be back where I can have more control over my food!  Sounds like you will be super busy with the RenFaire this weekend, just a little tip to help you eat better during the weekend is to pack a couple of protien bars, maybe some nuts w/dried fruit and lots of water to bring with you.  This way you have a healthy snack available and you won't be ravenous when you do get a chance to eat.  Also maybe identify a couple of places ahead of time that have good food options and make a list to keep handy so that when you are all frazzeled and hectic this weekend you can pull out the list and say "oh, yeah that is what I can go eat".  I was really hoping to make it up there for the weekend, but I need to spend some time with my Grandma and she just isn't up to walking around that much.  I do hope everything goes smoothly and if you get a chance to post some pics I would love to see your costume(s).  Love & hugs! Nicole

Yesterday I ended up staying the night with DIL as my son is out of town for a couple of days. No baby yet, but we got alot done for the shower on Saturday!

I totally bommed on water yesterday. i drink it everyday, but yesterday i don't think i had one ounce. Although i did eat some popsicles. Can't believe i have been at it for 6 months, and then water just slipped my mind for the day. Guess I should keep my self a journal.

We all have days where we get busy and forget to drink our water.  One day shouldn't hurt you, just make sure to get it all in today!

Thanks, Kelly

Kelly~In my opinion your food schedule looks pretty good just a few suggestions.  The first is something I learned in the nutrition program and that is to make sure you eat breakfast within 1 hour of waking.   We do this because it revs up our metabolism and helps to wake up our mind and body.  The second is just a suggestion that instead of having beer battered fish try grilling,broiling or baking some unbreaded fish seasoned with herbs and lemon.  Other than those two suggestions it looks good to me.  I do hope that you are able to get to where you want to be.  You are working really hard to make the most of your tool.  Keep up the good work.  ~Nicole
