A group to help us on diets support eachother.
I thought that we should start a new thread as the other one was getting a little long.
A group to help us on diets support eachother.
The scale is slowly staring to tip back up... I'd better do something NOW before I hit 150! Ouch. I don't want to go there again.
How are you guys doing???
When i went to sleep last night, after coming home late after a day of going out of town, I knew I had to get up, make the kids lunches, send them on their way and then get cracking with cooking and cleaning! DH's childhood friend is in town for the evening and is sleeping over. I normally would have cleaned up yesterday but we had to go out of town.
So... this morning, I slept in! Wow. I couldn't believe it! I never do that... and of all days!!!
I'm taking a break to have a cup of tea. I've finished cooking but have only done half the cleaning. I knew I had lots of time as our company is due to drop by around 5pm. Well.... DH just got off the phone a while ago and, it appears that our guest is bringing another guest with him... another childhood buddy! Great!
I have to rethink the sleeping arrangements, go and get more food, (do shopping) and, to top it all off, Mondays are my worst days. I'm usually running around dropping and picking up kids from their activities and i don't get in until around 8"15pm.
When am I going to feed these people?
I'm usually feeding one child and then dropping her off and then feeding another child and then dropping him off. i also try to feed the other child and DH and then run out the door! I eat when all is calm late at night, sometimes by myself or sometimes with DD1!
Crazy
So... how's your Monday going?
Oh... I forgot to mention that they are now coming at 2pm! Friend #1 is dropping Friend #2 and then going off and doing what he has to do!
Aaaghhh!!!!!
@Simba: Good to hear from you!
I'm glad that you are getting back into the groove of things.... you're right, it is very hard to get back into it. I'm also having a hard time.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow.

The plus side is that my house is clean and it's so nice to move around it and see the clutter-less benches, landings etc. Ah... the peace!
I do, however, still have to deal with a mountain of laundry. The clothes are washed but need to be put away or ironed etc. This will keep me busy until I have to go get DD1 from school.
Truth be told, this will keep me busy for the next few days.... there's that much to sort through. And while I'm at it, I might as well go through items that don't fit or are wornout looking.
How are you guys doing?

I don't want to see that number go up to 150 again! I need to do something. Seriously.... no need talking about the weight I'm gaining/maintaining if I'm not doing anything about it!
Weekends are hard for me so I think I will make Monday my day for jump-starting this thing again!
I will, however, try my best to start limiting myself on the weekend so I don't have to go cold turkey!
How are you all doing?

I just looked into the weather forecast (I don't know how I didn't know this beforehand) but we're getting 15-30+ cm of snow today! Or by Sunday. OMG! There is a crazy band of arctic air blowing through and is picking up moisture from the Great Lakes and, voila.... lake effect snow! As the bands pass over, the snow fall is quite heavy and there is literally zero visibility! When the winds switch direction then there is a little bit of calm..... only until the winds switch again!
Okay... enough of the weather lesson... but this is crazy for a first snowfall!
Aaaggghhh!!!
I hope to be doing the 'happy dance' soon! I've already decided that Monday is my day to get back into the groove! Hopefully nothing will come around and sabotage my efforts again... I don't foresee anything down the horizon so I should be okay to stay on track for a while.
@Raymh: Where are you?

I've been around but I've been busy!
We had a dumping of over 30cm of snow and some parts of the city got over 70cm of snow!!! We dug ourselves out and the roads were okay for the most part but it took longer than usual to get cleared up due to the massive amounts of snow that fell on some areas. Most of the roads and sidewalks were cleared by Tuesday but they still had more to do and finally got it done by Wednesday!
I noticed the clear roads in some areas and noticed the bad roads in others! OF course those roads are right in my backroads path to my daughter's school. I was literally driving through one foot of slushy soft dirty snow. yuck.
It was just taking longer to go and get her at the end of the day. I had to leave earlier and got back later. Somehow I'm trying to keep this house tidy and clutter free. lol... it's not working. There's just not enough time...
IF this wasn't enough, last night we were attacked again by lake effect snow! We got another 10cm overnight. Again, the west of the city got pounded all night and they have in access of 30cm!! They finally just got their roads clean yesterday...lol
We are due to have more snow this morning before it clears out.
So... this is what I've been up to. How about you guys?
Oh,,, btw, I didn't jump on the bandwagon on Monday as i had hoped! The cold, the snow.... i just wanted comforting foods. I didn't want to have a cup of black tea first thing in the morning!
So... this morning I decided that whatever my weight is on the scale, I will try and do a detox! I need to jump start this journey again.... just like I did before and then all my efforts fell apart as there were too many family gatherings taking place.
I casually come down the stairs and DH ambushes me to inform me that his friend will be in town tonight and will come by tomorrow at some point! What??? Again???
Hmm.... I just took apart my entire hallway closet and want to reorganize it. In fact, i already started yesterday and I have a mess all over! I have items all over my dining room table and floor as well. I'm filing important papers that were never dealt with and putting away mountains of clutter!
The only reason I started these projects is because I was confident that no one was coming over and i need to deal with these things once and for all! It will take me days to deal with it....
Agh. Now I have to put it in some sort of box and take it out another day... God knows when that will be! I'm in the mood to deal with it now! It will take a long time to get the motivation again.
Which brings me to my current predicament.... I decided that there was too much stress placed on me today to even try to do a detox, so I decided not to.
Hmph. End of story.
How are you ladies doing? Hopefully better than me!
I feel like I need a detox as well. Too many goodies at Thanksgiving!
Maybe we can do the detox thing together.... looks like I'm not getting around to it any time soon.
After Xmas I'm definitely going to do one.....
Hopefully, I can find time to do one soon as well. I know that there is going to be a lot of gatherings and I won't be able to lose, but, a detox would be good just to get rid of this extra stuff and feel 'cleaner'.
I hope your Thanksgiving was yummy and full of good friends and family!
Lol... I had just finished shovelling out of two snow storms and my friends, to the south, were celebrating the harvest!
Mind you... my cousin in Buffalo had snow to deal with on Thanksgiving.
@Raymh: Where are you?
I can feel the symptoms.....
How are you guys doing? I need to jump on the wagon but, it looks like I'll do that in January.
My weight has a mind of its own right now. It's up and down like a yo-yo!
... Still pre-TOM....
LOL...my weight is just like the weather around here! It got strangely warm yesterday and all those huge piles of snow banks have mostly melted. I can see green grass again. Most of the evidence of the two huge snow storms we had is gone. And now the temperature has dipped so low that it's freezing out there and snow is expected tomorrow!
Crazy.
What's the temperature like where you guys are?
I'm trying to drink more water again.... I've been lacking in that department for a long time. lol. I'm back on my iron pills religiously and that is the reason I'm back to drinking water. funny. Without the pills, i've noticed that I haven't been drinking a drop!
Let's hope that it does something for my weight... however, if i stop eating everything in sight.......
