Morning birdiegirl.  My eyes popped open at 530am despite being able to sleep in today, oh well, probably take a nap later.  Going to hit Movati gym this morning for a workout and hot-tubbing, then value village, they have 40% off winter coats an I need a really warm one.  Also going to a Christmas market, will have the guts of bacon on a bun while there, yum!  My goal today is to get some cleaning done, it has piled up with my mood being low.  I am trying to catch myself saying "who cares" and "why bother" and replace these thoughts with "I care" and "because it will make me feel better" but it is a constant battle, one day I feel better then the next worse again, but over time I can see my outlook is really improving.  Exercise is helping so much with the anger and anxiety, helps ease that at least physically. I want to say thank you to DD for offering to meet with me, I really appreciate it, you have been so supportive and kind and I am happy to know you.

Good Morning Barb, You are coming home to mild weather. Off for a walk with the dog soon. Need to do my Christmas cards. Probably just a lazy day. Had fun yesterday watching my son's fiance pick out her dress. Eating was really screwed up. When we got to their apartment she had set it up really nice as a party. She had put out cinnabons, donuts, mini muffins and chocolate covered pretzels. We headed off to see dresses at 11:30 do I grabbed a mini muffin and a strawberry. Finished one dress shop by 1:30 and headed off to another. We managed to go through the drive through at Tim's. I had some chili. Dinner was a disaster. The pub we often go to has again changed their menu. I had a mini taco off the appetizers.  So back on the horse today

Good Morning Everyone, Not doing much this weekend, just limping around the house mostly. Yeah  

Zizzler, you are doing it right, fighting through it, try to stay positive, and this will pass.  I struggle too with sadness, and low mood at times.  You manage to keep your eating on track, even exercising, through it all.  You are a star 

My weight is stalled, even gained weight, from surgery, which is still hanging on.  I missed my personal 6 month goal, and am trying to focus on making my end of the year goal, and 1 year goal.  It just seems I take 2 steps forward, and 1 step back.

No one said this would be easy, definitely not the "easy way out"

B- 2 scrambled eggs

L- 2 baked chicken drumsticks

D- small steak with some fried peppers and green onion. (didn't end up having this yesterday)

S- fuzzy naval shake, leftovers from meals.

mfp totals: calories 669. carbs 4, fat 27, protein 89.

Have a great weekend, bye for now

Hey there, thanks for the encouragement.  I try to stay on track but every once in a while I eat something I should not have, I try to get back on track asap.  Exercise I am getting back into and it is a big help with my nerves, and that sick feeling about what is happening at work, feeling embarrassed, betrayed, angry, sad, all that fun stuff.  I missed a couple of my goals too, its ok as long as you know you are doing the right things your body will eventually start losing again, just takes time.  Your steak dinner sounds yummy, I might try that tonight instead of the stew, I have a couple of steaks and a bell peppers kicking around. No, it is definitely not the easy way out, anyone who thinks that has not been through what we have been through.  Hang in there and you have a nice weekend too, and thanks again for the kind words, it is such a comfort to know other people struggle too.

Keep fighting the good fight Zizzler!  And anytime...!
