Back home from my trip to Juneau....

And I'm NOT very proud of myself :(   I was running the whole time- walked and shopped and just RAN all the time. So, "meals" were quick, grab as you go... NOT at ALL healthy. And I made that choice KNOWING I would be disappointed with myself? WHY?  I don't know. But TOMORROW.... is a NEW START!   I am NOT letting go. I have SUCKED from Tuesday-Saturday. But tomorrow is a NEW DAY! I will drink EVERY DROP of my water. I will eat very little and get back ON track! I have ONE day till I get back to work and I have a lot to get done. On a VERY GOOD  note.... I SHOPPED till I nearly DROPPED. (THAT isn't the good part!)  But I bought a pair of size 18 ZIP FLY  woman's pants.... they FIT! And they fit relatively LOOSE! So I went BACK and bought myself a size 16!!!  I still have to try those on but I know it won't be to long.  I did buy some in another style (pull on) that were a 16 and they fit to! It has been SO LONG since I bought any pants other than the Cabin Creek denim (boot cut) leggings from Penney's.... I was in womans XLG petite and I'm not sure but if I am wearing a womans 18 pant.... is that regular sizes? Cause then it goes to 16, 14, 12 & so on right?   I dunno, but they ZIP... and they FIT!  They REALLY ZIP... and REALLY FIT!!!       Anyhow- I came home looking like the Beverly Hillbillies with my van completely LOADED! I bought groceries, some Christmas gifts, kids clothes... a fax machine for my office... child care supplies... you name it! And my van was so stuffed I couldn't see out the back LOL   But I'm set for the winter now!  It's going on 1:00 a.m. and I've now been up 23 hours so I am off to dream land! My dh had to work so I've not seen him yet but he should be home in a couple hours. The kids and I emptied the van and put everything away when we got in :) I'm afraid to weigh in on Monday :( I've eaten McDonalds crap (once per day) for 3 days :(   Day one was okay cause I got so bloody SICK it all came out FASTER than it went in. But day 2 & 3 were  NOT pretty :(   

well at least you are home, back in your routine. i think vaca is very tough to choose well. all one can do is try to eat less of the stuff that is not our best interest.  welcome home!!!!

Welcome home, Girl, and congratulations on your jeans!  Don't worry about the slip up - you'll be right back on track in no time. 

Thanks guys!  I am trying VERY hard to get back into the swing of things. I'm REALLY LOW today... I had to WI and it was not pretty either :(   I gained 4 pounds :(  My heart just sank as I saw that :(  but as I said earlier... it IS MY FAULT! I knew it. I took lists of all the foods, plans to buy Lean Cuisines & nuc them in the microwave in my room... did I buy ONE? NOT ONE :(  I've got 8 cups of water here now- with ice. I am going to get every drop down today- come hell or high water! I thought I'd stay on task Sunday but it was again- a "grab what I can" day :(  Though I WAS being SOMEWHAT careful... I ate a lot of the Ranch Wheat thins... 15=3 points. So I knew I was okay there. But they ARE SALTY. I ate half a home made burger (lean beef, lettuce, tomato & bun) but did NOT get all my water in and what I did take in- likely held up in all the salt from the Wheat Thins!!  Today I am set to have... between 4 & 2 kiddo's and am signing one more on to start tomorrow. I need desperately to get to bed early and get caught p here as my eyes are hangin pretty low today. Just plain TIRED! Oh! I forgot to say earlier that I used the hotels Cardio Glide a bit while the kids swam.... I LOVED that thing! Would LOVE to get one!  Anyhow- if I thought I was disappointed in myself before... I am REALLY disappointed in myself after seeing this FOUR POUND GAIN :(  

As I told Brenda, you can get that 4 lbs. off in no time flat!  Just start right away.

Please don't be down on yourself.  You've come so far and you can do it again.

Get back on that horse and ride!

Welcome back.  We missed you!~
