? ? ? Thursday Vows ? ? ?

Good morning folks! I hope you all had a successful Wednesday. I did well except I had to ride the elevator once at work... my boss broke her femur bone a year ago and has screws holding it together. She's fine but I just couldn't insist we walk the steps!! Today I vow to: ? Eat fewer than 1200 calories; mostly from protein ? Drink a minimum of 80 ounces of water ? Take the stairs instead of the elevator at work ? Work out at the gym after work ? No eating after 7:30 PM Good luck with your vows today --- what are you planning to do to stay on track for your personal plan? DeeDee

Choo-choo! I haven't derailed yet. I'm still on the protein train through Friday. I can almost see the station. Yesterday, I got in all my fluids, and protein. I also exercised at Step class. Whew, what a workout! Today, I vow more of the same, and it's going to be hard because I have to go to a neighboring town and do programs all day for fourth and fifth graders. I work in a hospital in a marketing department, and that's part of my job. I'm going to have to stop by the store and pack up protein only choices I can munch on over lunch. Good luck to everyone today: Make good food choices! Joni

Joni, You're doing so well! Congratulations with your sticktoitness (is that a word?). I'll be thinking about you at lunch today. I have to do the monthly office luncheon and I'm just hoping they don't pick some place that only has fried catfish! DD

Hi Everyone! I had a busy day today and so much going on that I haven't had a chance to check in until now. My company leaves tomorrow and so do I. I have a PS consult about 3hrs.from home and I am staying overnight to visit w/family while there. That means I won't be on here until sometime Sat. eve. So I will post my commitments now for the next few days. Yesterday went well. I got all my protein, water and exercise in. Today I walked the stores a lot, so that's my exercise for the day.LOL.... I had an upsetting conversation w/my son a little bit ago and before I knew it I'm into the pork rinds. I had two of them and closed the bag up and told myself I'm not eating my emotions. So here I am being accountable. I thank God for this forum and thread each day. It is so assuring to know that I am not the only one dealing w/food issues. I am getting stronger each day and I know the accountability plays a key role in keeping me on track. Thank you all for your encouragement and support. I plan to stay on track the best I can over the next few days. I'll talk to you all Sat. night! Keep up the great work everyone and stay abstinent! Jeannie

Hi Jeannie! I am so glad you have your PS consult - how exciting. And congrats on recognizing the pork rinds for what they were ... comfort from stress and not a true hunger. You are doing fabulous lady! I hope you have a terrific weekend. DD
