Saturday Vows

Hey gang! I miss DeeDe! I have not been doing very well the last couple days. Finally got some blood work to see if my blah's are physical although I have a feeling it is the old depression creeping back into my life. Today I vow to exercise for 45 minutes drink 8 glasses water have at least 60 grams protein How about you? Lucy

Hi Lucy, I got busy this morning and didn't post my vows but I've been on track so far. 1. Get All my water in. 2. Get All my protein in. 3. Don't eat ANY bad carbs. 4. NO Grazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5. Do my treadmill for at least 20mins. (It's finally cleared off)LOL.... Only doing 20 mins. to start out w/so I don't over due it and be all achy tomorrow. : ) (It's been a long time since I exercised). Thank God for this forum, the accountability, encouragement and understanding. As they say, "Take ItOne Day At A Time". So for today I vow to do my best. Have a great day everyone! Your Gastric Buddy, Jeannie Lap RNY 7-8-03 290/150 and @ goal but 5Lbs. up from where I was (this is keeping me honest and determined to get back on track.) PS in Oct.of 04 and more to come!

How'd you do Jeannie? I only got 45 protein but the rest were ok. Today I am going to church drinking water 60 g protein

Hey Lucy, Yesterday I got all my water and protien in and didn't have any bad carbs. Sad to say I didn't get to that treadmill yet. Having a struggle getting started w/that one, but once I do, I know I will be back on track again. I also got into an argument w/my hubby last night and realized I didn't eat over it. Then the more I thought about it, would you believe I got up and got a few crackers and cheese. Now I didn't NEED them, wasn't hungry, met my quota for the day, but yet gave into a moment of emotional eating anyway. I recognized what I was doing and didn't stop myself at first, but then I stopped and said to myself, this was NOT going to solve any problems except creat another one. I chose NOT to beat myself up over it, but to learn from it. I am determined to do better today. I don't want to use the word VOW but I will aim at doing the following: 1. Get all my water in. 2. NO bad carbs. 3. Not to eat out of my emotions. Thank God for His mercy and grace when I stumble. Have a blessed day! Jeannie

Lucy, I also wanted to say to you yesterday that I was sorry to hear about your struggles w/depression and how you felt. I can truly empathize (sp?) w/you. I too struggle w/depression. I will keep you in my prayers. As the Word says, pray for one another and as we do that, we will be healed also. So I lift you up today before the throne room of grace and pray for God to give you His perfect peace. I encourage you today Lucy and say that all will be well. Just keep trusting in the One who knows all about our struggles. Stay blessed! Jeannie

Thanks for doing this! We just got back from our Kentucky cottage and the dial up is so terrible that I couldn't even get through to this site. I'm back now and will get us on track tomorrow morning again! I do hope you're feeling better. I missed all of you folks! DeeDee
