It's alright though. My worst nightmare is on vacation so I don't have to deal with THAT irritation..It's far easier to keep up with my water when I'm at work and I really need to work on that!

LOL.. I think of it more like self preservation, actually..If I have to teach the school sites the program, I better know where the weak links are gonna land..I wasn't impressed with what they had to offer and I think I asked some pretty leading questions about how we could use the program (or not!) 

I didn't get ANY exercise today at all..just sitting and listening..You did great! Have a great evening. See ya tomorrow.

Evening Dawn...hey, I don't blame you for going in...I handle all the accounting for my office...if they were talking new programing, I sure would want to be there, vacation or not LOL  I'm trying to control the carbs and fat and having a real tuff time :-(  Some pounds have crept (heck! RAN back up) and I just can't figure out the right combination to get them off.  It's not as easy as I thought to get protein up to 50% and keep the fat and carbs down. Oh well, I'm trying ^_^

I know yall are sick of hearing this but DAMN THE CARB MONSTER. I become absolutely spineless when I give into the first craving of the day and just spiral out of control. Cookies. That's what I love. Chips Ahoy. Oreos. Ginger Snaps. Yep had some of all of those yesterday. Basically Breakfast lunch and late night snack.

B: Scrambled egg & cheese wrap
s: Chips Ahoy cookies (lost count at 6 probably more like a dozen during the morning)
L: Ramen Noodles (yep had to feed the carb monster)
s: Oreos (found them in the car on the drive home)
D: Pork Chop, steamed carrots & small scoop of au gratin potatoes.
s: gingersnaps (lost count because I ended up sitting on the couch mindlessly eating from the container while NCIS was on)
lns: Blue Berry activia smoothie

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew I was bad yesterday but I was horrible. Just writing it down is embarrassing. But in an effort to get myself back on track I have to.
 
I had cleaned out the pantry at home but then David brought in the ginger snaps. I should have at least put them out of sight but no I left them on the counter so they ended up calling my name when I walked by. The Chips Ahoy were brought in by a coworker ( a huge box from Sams Club). I have got to get ahold of myself. I'm the only one responsible for what goes into my mouth.

I have a new appreciation for folks who are battling with addicition. I truly believe I am addicted to carbs. One of my best friends is sending me a cognitie behavior work book for weight management. I'll let you know when I get it. Hoping and praying that I get a grip on this soon.

Hi Iris....accepting responsibility and that only you are in control of what you eat..hey!  that's half the battle!!  It's when we turn a blind eye to our behaviour that we have no hope ;-)  Coincidentally, I too, woke up this morning facing the truth I am addicted to carbs.  I reminded myself that the only way I could quit smoking was 'cold turkey'..no weaning, no gradual smoking less...cold turkey...not one, beginning that very day. I've been smoke-free 6.5years ^_^  I have faced my demon...it only takes ONE chip, carmel, SF cookie, even peanuts! and I am doomed :-(  My co-workers have brought in M & M's...I have to convince myself that even ONE small m&m will cause me to spiral into oblivion (sp)..it is no different than having one cigerette...the ugly head of 'carb craving' will have been awakened :-(  
I know that together we can beat this 'demon'...posting even when we've lost the battle...we haven't lost the War! LOL  I treasure your honesty and forth-rightness in posting....ironically, it feels good to know I'm not alone ^_^
