Not bad at all. The heat is getting to me. I'm really tired so I think I'll be going to bed real soon.

How did you do? 

Dawn - you always do so well! 

I didn't track yesterday but it was not a great day.  anyway - today was very odd.

8 am - coffee, nf creamer
11 am - ahi tuna sandwich with just one piece of bun
4:30 pm- vegtable potstickers

that's all i ate.  i just decided that it was all i needed and i am not even hungry.

i found my fit bit, so i can get more precise at doing this.

getting better every day but not perfect!!

excited b/c everyone is going to gym tomorrow.  we had to make a reservation for the kids (they 9 months - twins and nearly 5 yr old boy).  that means it should be a good start to the day.  husband and i can get dressed and take our time!!!

9 month old TWINS? I never knew how my ancestors did it..My great grandmother had two sets of twins, my aunt had a set..crazy. I knew it ran in my family but I dodged a bullet there! You ARE wonderwoman!

None of us is perfect, we all fall short over and over. The key is to get up, dust yourself off and try again. You really aren't defeated until you quit trying.

Keep up the good work. As Leslie says "Type at ya later!" 

 I can't tell you how grateful I am that it's Friday.  I ate a little more than I need today.  I got home early and ate some soy crisps before dinner and that just sarted things out.  Not too bad but not great.

B: 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese, 14 almonds, 5 prunes, 2 tbsp golden ground flaxseed 
Iced venti sugar free vanilla 2% latte
L: 1/4 cup chicken salad, 1/4 cup grated cheese, 1/4 cup garbanzo bean salad in a vinagrette dressing, 1 tbsp sunflower seeds, romaine and spinach mix, 1.5 tbsp ranch dressing, 1 tbsp hummus, sliced cucumber
16oz water and pm vitamins
S: 42 sea salt soy crisps, 1 sugar free pecan carmel chocolate

Time for bed.  I am going to make a concentrated effort to sleep in tomorrow.  Type at you later.

I couldn't be happier that this week is over myself..We have two girls back in the office that have been gone. Seriously we were an office of 7 desks trying to be covered by 3 people and one of those people is a back stabbing, blame someone else, lying sob..We're up to six people but the boss has been getting info on the two missing girls from someone or something that isn't telling the whole picture. I wonder who that could be (sob comes to mind!) ?

Cleaning house for me is very cathartic. I'm cleaning my mind of all the stuff that's bothering me and giving me hives..I may even have a high eating day myself today..I need that little bit of comfort food..not sure what it is yet but it will be had.

I didn't sleep last night well at all. The heat and the olympics had me up for a long time in the middle of the night. I'm glad I saw some of the track and field..

Have a nice weekend! I'm going to keep trying. The weather and the times have to break sometime!

 I didn't even bother finishing tracking last night.  I teach special ed at an elementary school ( a job and colleagues I do like), but have wanted to move up to middle school.  I interviewed on Monday for an open position in our district and found out yesterday that I didn't get it.  So, what did I do? I ATE my disappointment to the tune of about 500 extra calories!  I knew I shouldn't, but I did it anyway.  I paid the price today as my intestinal tract seemed to be on a cleansing vegenance.  Yeh, not doing that again.  The weird upside is that I was down a pound this morning (before intestinal vengence struck!).  Go figure!  I did manage to walk nearly 4 miles yesterday and do 25 flights of stairs which I am sure helped.  

Back on track today!

I feel your pain on that! I used to be a stress eater. Early out I could feel the stress and it scared me. Scared me so bad that I just couldn't eat! I think I was afraid I was going to lose control and it (fasting) was my way of getting that loss of control back into control.. Really, this is more of a mental journey than anyone of us ever imagined.

I'm sorry that you didn't get the job but there has to be a silver lining. Probably was a crappy position anyway! I work in a school district central office so there are plenty of things that I see about certain jobs and people that the rest of the world (especially the people who make the decisions) don't see..

Time to dust yourself off, center yourself and back on track..You'll do fine today! You got all of that out of your system and it's all up up and away from here!

Thanks, Dawn.   You are right that there was either something about the job that wasn't right for me or the Good Lord still has work for me to do right where I am or both.  I am moving forward-head held high!

Today was a much better day. I ate well, walked over 10,000 steps/more than 4 miles and had good quality talking time with Emily (my almost 15 year old daughter) while we walked (and sweated in this oppressive humidity) before dinner.

Have a good night.  I hope it is a cooler one for you than last night!
