its some great info- thanks!

Hey everyone! I decided to check in as a method of staying out of the kitchen. My hubby and daughter made no bake cookies tonight...and I LOVE THEM.... gotta fight that urge to eat a ton. My husband has convinced my daughter that bc they have oatmeal and peanut butter they are healthy (he thinks its funny).

I did a great job today eating. Had yogurt and fresh fruit for breakfast, a turkey sandwich for lunch, lots of water and ice tea, and for dinner I had a chicken paprika (Which I make a healthy version of....I have a great cookbook that makes foods I like healthier). I will probably have a cookie before the night is over...but only one small one..... I got in an hour on the bike tonight. Still might go for a walk, but not sure. So, all in all, a good day!

well, i've been on here to read everyone's posts, but it seems like i have time to read or post. lol- just not enough time in the day to get everything done! things have been pretty good this week, but i need to start watching the sugar intake again! had a couple sweets this week and after that- i'm not sure if its coincidence or not, i felt like my stomach turned into a botomless pit. i just stayed hungry. this happen to anyone else? it could also just be that i've upped the workouts a bit in the last week or so, but... i think its the sugar. time to start being more strict about it! lets see... not too much else is going on. i finally got my bike working again (got a flat and finally figured out how to change it!) so i can go cycling again! yay! right. so... i think thats about it for me for now- hope everyone is having a great week!

Well, I'm on another trip...this time to Chicago. Staying at the Hilton Garden Inn (which I love) where they serve warm fresh-baked cookies on the counter in the evening (which I also love). However, if you look at my before picture, the cookies are part of what put me there. I'd grab a couple on my way back in from work, and then if I went out someplace at night, I'd grab a couple more. But they don't even tempt me anymore. Oh...and they were pleased to see me back after being gone for a while and gave me some chocolate as a welcome back. I got to my room, opened it up because I thought this small square of chocolate wouldn't hurt...but I ended up just tossing it in the garbage can and throwing some trash on top of it. I guess I'm a little afraid that the "just one" would turn into wanting another one. If I didn't even have one, I wouldn't think about how good it tasted!

Next week I head to Washington DC for two weeks and will be there over the weekend. Wish me luck because in the past, I'd use the weekend to pig out and try all sorts of food that was bad for me. This time my challenge will be to do some extra walking in lieu of eating bad stuff.

I treated myself to a new workout outfit last night when I was shopping...size Small! I'm about ready to head outside and do my walking for tonight in my new outfit...its about 72 degrees so should be a gorgeous night for walking.

One of my magazines had a Tip of the Week that I wanted to share with you all.

Had a tough day? Before you forego your walk and crash on the couch, recite this energizing mantra: "Physical activity is a great stress reducer. I'll feel better if I take a walk. It's something my mind and body will be grateful for."

I am in awe of your strength and willpower, you are clearly a woman on a mission! definitely avoid the temptation of sweets if you know it might ruin your plan for the day!! i would have even kept the chocolates to re-gift!! i am wicked that way, though
and i think using the weekend as an excuse to walk around and see the sites is great!! and maybe challenge yourself to finding a tasty new salad you've never seen or tried before Good luck, though it seems you are already on the right road even without it!

hey all! sitting here on the dark patio with the pup. I have been really off track this week and it is a mind thing. I just dont eat...its almost a food anxiety - as if I eat, I will gain....I have been on a starve/binge cycle and I am trying to do better tomorrow.....I have (surprise) been feeling like crap. I got my hair hilighted and ate nothing all day and then tonight, Ice Cream and Whataburger...ugh and back up to 214 I go

I couldnt find the energy to work out today, but I have got to - work starts soon and I cant use it as an excuse to be unfit anymore

Sorry I havent been on more - cheering you all on!

heylo guys and gals!
Well, I have been in oklahoma city since Tuesday morning for a teachers' conference. ( I may not have a job yet, but my district I worked for last year is still paying 400 dollars for me to go to this training---weird?) I am staying at my brothers new apt, and my mom is staying with us here with joleigh and cooper. It is too far to drive almost 2 hours back and forth each day and the conference lasts til friday---AND I am still nursing joleigh...so i have to have her down here with me. Anyway, I am ready to sleep in my own bed and be in my home. I haven't really been doing very well sticking to my ww points cuz they provide a lunch for us...and i just dont have the willpower to say NO! i do fine as long as i can keep myself away from the temptation...i really need to work on that!
I have a new prompt ready...but I'm gonna wait til we have our new thread on Sunday so that we can continue thinking of our skinny fantasies til the end of the week.

Anyway, joleigh just spit up all over my mom....gotta go rescue her!! peace!

GOOD MORNING ROCKSTARS!!!!

RAIN RAIN RAIN....just won't seem to go away this week. It has rained at least for a bit every single day this entire week. It has STUNK for outside activities. Although, last night Renee' and I rented the movie "21"...we saw it in the theaters and I read all 3 books that the movie was based on. I made it through only about half of it this time, as I was for some reason beat and fell asleep before 9:30pm!!! Anyway, I'll watch it today again cause I didn't get to finish it last night.

Not really much else to report. I am watching the season premire of Criss Angel MindFreak! on my DVR. Later, I have to go do some errands so I'm sure I'll be back on this afternoon.

Keep on Rockin'
