Hi Hexigon, I know what you are going through having to move really messes up your routine. I have had to live out a suitcase since last May.

Michele

Well, Here I am again. I feel a little shy about coming back. butI realized that even though I have not reached my goal at all I should keep trying. The problem is that I will be out of town from the end of August till October 3. I feel that with this plan, I was learning self control. Maybe I shoul...

Michele

Ok today was a success, I could have done better, but I am taking little steps This starting over thing is real hard. Why did I quit the first time? :? My week was pretty stressful, so not much success happened for the first few days, but I was mindful of my goal even though I didn't exactly follow ...

Michele

Thank you very much for both of you. I am grateful to know you.
I didn't go away entirely, I would sneak in and out from time to time. But it's good to be back.

DEO GRATIAS!

Happy S days!

Michele

Michele

Hey Deb, the photo's look great!! you seem to be doing the right things. Thanks for all your support, I need as much as I can get.

Hello, I am back ffrom being AWOL.( again) :( I am NOT proud of myself for giving up on myself, but that's just what I did. :( Well, now that it's February, maybe I can start over. :roll: A co worker is trying to implement a weight watchers program where I work, I am trying to exercise more this wee...

Michele

It really is a shame, I still think that having your pet fixed can lead to some problems. The last 2 dogs my parents had were just beautiful animals, after we got them fixed, they didn't have any energy, they only wanted to sleep, and they developed fatty tumors on their bodies. And the older one wa...

Michele

Well so far this week has been a complete success!!

Too bad it's only monday

Anyway, I was very tempted, but over came it by just saying NO!
Amazing that such a little word has such power.

Peace to all.
S. Michele

Michele

Oh no, breakfast isn't at 5, it's at 7.

But prayers start at 5:50, then the Holy Mass.
Well, maybe you can make it another time.

Today is successful so far, I've been too busy to think about cheating.

Michele

Michele

Ok Deb, Dinners at 5. please be on time. Have a great day.

S. Michele

Michele

OK, today was cereal and a banana for breakfast a left over taco and a hot dog for lunch with ice water and boiled dinner for dinner, which consists of Ham, potatoes, cabbage,rutabaga,carrots some celery if desired. It's sort of like a soup, but not really. You have to put everything in a pot of wat...

Michele

Sounds good partner, I have completed day one successfully. Hopefully day 2 will be fine. Only what, 20 more days to go?
No Problem.

Thanks for the support Deb and remember to stay away from the fridge.

Lunch was cereal and a bun with jam on it Dinner was Chicken with rice, and ice water. I was very tempted today, but managed to be good. :...

Michele

I have been thinking it over and I think I want to try the 21 day club. Even though I haven't had much success in the past few months, I feel that I am ready to get serious about this weight loss thing.

Sr. Michele

Michele

OK, I am back and ready to start over again. Last week was all failure, no success at all, so I think it's time to begin the new year off with a fresh start. :o I did exercise when I was home, but now that I am back, I am too tired today to even think about exercising. I did walk around a store for ...

Michele

I lost 5 pounds (the 5 I gained) so when I get back home I will be ready to get back on the diet completely. I...

Michele

Well, I flopped again. Maybe I should drop out until after the holidays? I can't seem to develope any type of will power. It seems like I am having more failures than success. :x And exercise? HA thats just a dream right now. Maybe it's the weather that's getting me down, I am not sure. Have a great...

Michele

Now that would be sight to behold... me, jumping on my bed. :lol: :o Your right. I guess I just got caught in that mood and ran with it instead of letting it go. :roll: But today I am back to being myswelf. Praise the Lord! AND-- today was successful. :D I gave away some candy that was in my room fo...

Michele

My thoughts are that if the day starts with an "S" go for it! then again you have these anoying voices of reason that come up and wont be quiet. Snow days should be S days in a perfect world, unfortunately, we are not there yet. As some sisters tell me "Offer it up" yeah no fun there, but at least w...

Michele

Thanks Deb, your too sweet. I really messed up today :cry: :oops: I was under some stress plus not feeling my happy, joyful self today. So when someone left a few assorted flavored hersheys kisses laying around, I tryed a peanut butter one, then a carmel then another mint one, until they were gone! ...

Michele

I didn't do too well yesterday, someone took me and another sister out for lunch, and I had pasta and around 5 biscuits, carb city I know, but the interesting was I wasn't hungery for the rest of the day. I forgot to eat supper! That was a goo...

Michele

OK, today was a bit easier since I was not at home to be tempted by the goodies in the kitchen. I did have a can of coke with my lunch, it's a Holy Day of Obligation for me so I felt like celebrating just a bit. I am happy that I was able to find something warm to eat at school this evening. A grill...

Michele

Happy Blessed Mothers Day!! :D Thank you for the wishes on my post. Just a note on my friend who had a stroke. He can move a little now, but he is in a rehab place that is very good I guess. He can't talk, but he is doing better! God be praised. thank you for the prayers. Hope your day is filled wit...

Michele

Oh boy, am I grateful that I didn't eat the cookies then

Hope you have a great day

Michele

Today was a great day! I was tempted, but managed to say no. Last night I really wanted a piece of cake, but I didn't want Drill Sgt.

Sr. Michele

Michele

todat was a good day, I did have a small piece of lemon pie with my lunch, so I guess that's considered cheating. But it was so good.

I still have a long way to go. I did 30 minutes of exercise yesterday and hopefully today I will do some more.
Hope you all have a good week.

S. Michele

Michele

Hey Deb, it sounds like your really doing good. I would be cautious of the lemon thing myself, just be careful.
I believe the scale is a tool of the devil personally. I try to avoid it myself.

Have a good weekend, hope your successful in all you do.

S. Michele

Michele

Today was a good day, I was not able to exercise on the rowing machine, but I managed to walk the steps whenever I could, at least it's something. Plus I am a little sore from the other day.

Well, there was nothing really to eat at school except some old looking subs, I decided that a trip to Taco Bell wouldn't be bad, I mean there is no deep frying, no real grease to worry about. I had 2 soft shelled tacos and part of a burrito I was too full to finish it. That was my supper, and I had...
