What Have You Done Today to Make You Feel Proud?

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  Unfortunately, I had a little too much fun...we had company on and off all weekend and I cooked up a storm.      Where I went wrong is that I cooked Jambalaya and it is a fact of life that a good Cajun cannot resist Jambalaya.  Sad news, I gained three pounds in two days...too many carbs in that damned rice!

So I guess I have no proud for today, cuz I'm still eating.  Hopefully I'll have something by Wednesday.  Yikes!

Hey Mary, I've got you beat....I gained 2.5lb overnight!!  Just got back from a two week vacation Saturday night and weighed Sunday morning (+5lb), then weighed this morning and up another 2.5!!  WTF?

Anyway, on to the proud part....started back on program today and have been 100%.  Plus spent most of the day in the bathroom (low carb will do it every time) so probably got rid of that 2.5lb today.

I'm thinking the reason you gained the 2.5 lbs. was because they were still owed you from your vacation calories! I hate vacation calorie math. 

But that's a great proud...recommitment!  You're doing so much better than me, but tomorrow IS another day.  Hmmm, low carb doesn't do me that.

Not much to be proud of or happy about lately.  Susceptibility testing is finally back though so at least we know how to treat my infection.

Glad to hear you had a fun weekend and don't worry about a few pounds since you know how to get them off.

Well I hope you are typing as we speak to tell Trix and I what the ID doc said!

Yeah, I know how to get these pounds off, and I probably will in the next few days...that's if I don't go totally berserck and pig out for days!   I think it's the cool weather making me want to eat everything in sight. 

Mary

well today is just okay proud. Like you, the weekend was a little too much food overall.  I ain't quite as brave (or would that be dum) as you to get on no damn scale!!!!!

I'll take my licks and get back up and at 'em. Sunday I felt a bit sick, although that did not slow me down in eating department not one bit!!!! I kept thinking I better eat sumthin'....so I did.

Today was a thunderous storm before work, and after work no thunder but whipping rain. I did not get a walk in as I had hoped.

I did do 20 minutes asanas and ball crunching this morning.

Awwe Neecee, thanks for making me feel like I'm not so all alone in the 'eatin' all day' department.   Hey, I thought that getting on that scale was PART of taking your licks. 

At least you got in some exercise today...me not so much.  And you weren't even feeling good!

Sounds like water weight that will pass soon enough.  I once gained six or seven lbs of water weight in two days by having a huge - HUGE - Doritos, salami, cheese, Coke, and donut fest one stormy weekend.  It took me about a week to flu**** out of my system.  I didn't think carbs and sodium could cause that big of a change so quickly, but I proved to myself that it can easily happen.

Hold up, hold up!  You just gave me a 'proud'.  I didn't have any colas with all of those evil carbs!  That's a good one for a former Pepsi addict.

Good Lawd, talk about a scary combination...carbs and sodium.  And then we wonder how we ever got a li'l chunkee!!!

I'm proud of myself today for a few reasons. First of all, my husband started dieting with me today.  The bad part is that he is already caving.lol  This isn't good.  I was hoping we could find something to do together, but we just haven't found it yet.  He wanted to eat everything in sight tonight.  I finally had to make him a latte to see if that would fill him up before he ate the house.  This next week should be interesting.lol   I will admit I ate three of the kids chocolates from their trick or treating candy toda.  I have GOT  to get that damn chocolate out of this house!  

Other than that I bought two Christmas presents this morning!  And just within the two presents I saved between $250-300 dollars ( I only spent sixty bucks total).  I'm such a bargain shopper.

Kimmie, glad they found something for ya.  Hope it works!
