Can you motivate yourself on Memorial Day Weekend?  It sure is harder to stick to what we SHOULD be eating/doing on a holiday weekend!

Still down 4 lbs. from the beginning of May, so not too bad...

Today's plan:
lots of liquids
at least 2 protein drinks, working on the first one rt. now
exercise by cleaning house
shrimp etoufee for lunch
chicken alfredo/garlic bread/veggie for dinner

wedding food somewhere in there!

What's your plan?

Well *sigh* I didn't make it through day 5 perfectly.  We went ate Chinese food last night and I ate one tiny sushi roll, a couple of bites of a small spring roll, and two green beans.  The rest was chicken and beef only, so it could of been worse.  Then I ate a Fiber One bar last night, stupid me.  Potty issues are here though so now I need to get  it moving.

Not sure what today will be, for sure protein shakes and I need to defrost and cook something healthly.  I want broccoli, brussel sprouts or some other veggie for sure.

Good Morning Karla & TMB,

I had carbs yesterday for the first time in about 10 days and I also had a strawberry daiquiri.  So today, I really better watch out for the carb monster.  I am having coffee right now and my honey is in the kitchen cooking me breakfast.

Lunch-scalloped potatoes and sausage again(yummy)
Dinner-baby back ribs

I am going to try and make sure the carbs don't go beyond 50 grams while I am enjoying this holiday weekend.  Have a great day.

People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown

The good news is I'm still at goal weight. The bad news is I've been eating tooo many carbs. I made the mistake of buying bagel chips and Lays chips. Can't leave them alone! I can tell I was bored last night I ate a bowl of Bluebell ice cream and I knew it would make me sick and it did. Sheesh gotta find something to do today. I sent the chips home with Summer. I did pretty good yesterday at the restaurant we ate at was a buffet. It had fried catfish, chicken fried steak all the typical small town buffet. I just ate a little bite of everything. Not sure what today is going to be, depends on where we go.

Your loved!

Lynnette

I posted my weight/food woes on the train but I will do it again to torture you all again! lol

I am realizing that even with maintenance I must have some kind of goals.  Of course I would love to lose more than my lowest, but I must also now get BACK to my lowest.  I need goals.  Without them, my range gets to large and my focus on the healthful foods flies out the window.

I think there are quite a few of us going through that now. I am guessing here - Dana and Lynnette and a few others.  We made it where we wanted/or should be and so that goal determination is gone.  Now what? right.  Now we allow the carbs in and we still struggle with them.  This week it's been rice and mac and cheese.  Dear Lord, there still is no control when they are in the house.

I think at least for me, in some way I have to have a time and weight goal, not so much to lose but to STAY focused.  I will plan for my Jump into June with a WEIGHT and time goal.  No more excuses - it's accountability.

Rambling again.  Off to focus!

OK Becky, what's wrong with this picture...I went to the OBESITY conference and GAINED 4lbs.  'Splain that one Lucy...I must be screwed up in the head.  AND I didn't even drink any alcohol so I can't blame it on that.  Maybe it was those 2 trips to Buc-ees, ya think?

i'm tellin you!!  That place is the devil in disguise!  Course I should know that since Bucee was a friend of the EX and they graduated together.

I let myself have those dern Beaver nuggets and their great kettle corn  and all that fried seafood and potatoes and, and and..  was never going to allow it back in my life and I did.. and now it is literally SITTING on my waist.  I am so full Emm even noticed it.  LOL.

time to detox.  NO Bucees!  Even if the restrooms are the best - ya know, like the billboard says, = you have to PEE to believe! lol

Losing the weight has been hard enough... but what I think I'm most afraid of is when I do reach goal!!!  That's where the real journey begins as I have to maintain it!  Hang in there girl!!!  By the way I thought you looked great at the conference.... I wasn't brave enough to put on my suit and head to the pool!

Oh thank you so much, Paige.  I felt good  but with a swimsuit on and a plastic surgeon in the midst, I was very aware of what 'could' be done.

You knowing about the maintenance journey being the hardest part is going to be to your advantage.  You will go into it knowing that the easy part is over. It's the balancing act of adding everything else back into your life.

I do hope to see you in September if not sooner.  Thanks again for building me up again and for your support.  It means a lot.

Hugs.
