***Weekend Vows***

Happy Labor Day Weekend! This post will include Monday's vows as well. Yesterday went a bit better for me. I'm not slacking on my water or protein, but have been eating a bit more than I should. I'm considering seeing my counselor again. This is a great source of support, but I need to get to the bottom of some things again. Anyway, this will be a long weekend and there is always extra food to be had. But as the saying goes, just because we can doesn't mean we should! On the other hand, if we do decide to have a little more of this or that, don't beat ourselves up either. The purpose of these posts are to help us be accountable and give support to each other. Today I will try to: 1.Get ALL my Protein in. 2.Get ALL my Water in. 3.Watch my portions! 4.Have Fun! How did you do yesterday and what are you vowing today? Your Gastric Buddy, Jeannie PS....Have a safe, fun filled, relaxing weekend!

My weekend vows: Get all my water in Try not to drink more than 24 oz beer per day Get all my protien in Fill out my food journal Add extra excersize to make up for holiday beer

Good Morning! I did really good yesterday. Even got a decent nights sleep and feel rested for once. Today my vows are to attend my Tops meeting Put away laundry Bathe the dog drink 64 oz water at least 60 g protein I did walk the dog for about 20m this morning so think that will be it for exercise today. I cleaned for about 3 hours last night so hope that makes up for less activity today. Although we have a new lady associate pastor at my church who just moved into my neighborhood and we may start walking together. She called last night but I was too wiped out from my 10 day work streak. So maybe this evening. I think that will be very nice for both of us. Anyway I am babbling. Hope ya'll have an excellent weekend. I am celebrating my birthday with some friends tommorrow so may get a little excessive. No plans for Monday-- maybe a trip to nearby town to visit friends.. Bye Lucy

Hiya Jersey Girl! No going to the 'Shore' one last time? You do have a busy weekend planned I see. Glad to see ya! Did you ever get my email? I haven't heard back from you. I assume it's because you have been busy. I finally cleared my Treadmill off and the switch broke the other day. Hubby got a new one and I'm waiting on him to install it. My old pic was a year old and thought it was time to update it. Take care and have a good holiday! Jeannie

I vow to take a break from the books I am writing and to have some fun for a change.... Have a great weekend... VAL

You go girl! You so deserve the break! Have a fun and relaxing time. What are you writing? Jeannie

Today I am going to church, lunch and movie with a friend walk dog again with pastor? maybe drink 64 oz fluid at least 60 g protein Really enjoying my time off... hope you all are too! Lucy

Lucy, at least you got all your fluid intake in. It doesn't have to be all water. What a nice combo, church, lunch and a movie. Whatcha gonna see? Hubby and I saw Red Eye last night. Was an intense movie. I'm glad your enjoying your time off. Continue having a wonderful Birthday and holiday weekend Lucy. Jeannie
