Darn it!
My calories last week were not bad but the carbs were awful! I gained back 2 lbs and am now back up to 151.5 lbs! Crap! I went to Penn State yesterday and walked almost 15,000 steps. But the problem was, I ate a hot dog (but OMG was it good!), popcorn, 3 slices of sausage pizza, a fiber one peanut butter bar, an english muffin with butter! Oh, and then I came home and had Doritos and Oreo cookies! Like 10 of them! (I wish you were here Laura to tell me to stop eating the cookies!) Ugh! I did drink a lot of water yesterday though. Got sunburn on face and arms at the game. I am so mad at myself. I feel like it sucked the good feelings I was beginning to have right out of me. I have to keep focused and get my brain back on track! I cannon let a little setback sabotage the big picture.
Neighborhood picnic today. Going to put in an appearance for a short while. Will eat some fruit and get a bottle of water. Too tired to stay long.
Floors are now 100% in. 1st sanding and 1st coat of polyurethane tomorrow am! Thank God! The end is in site! The dust tomorrow is going to be hell. I have to shut my office door and work in the dining room.
Penn State won yesterday, 24-0. They did not play well. It was the most incredibly beautiful day! Shopping after was great! I did all the driving myself. 3 1/2 hrs each way. NO meds, not even Xanax. Had a few scary moments yesterday but short lived. Got dizzy and nauseaous at the stadium during 2nd quarter (but hungry, sun was very strong and needed water.) After the hot dog and some water, it went away. But it really scared me for about 30 minutes feeling that way. I had 2 light dizzy spells at the pizza place for dinner and a couple of dizzy spells on the way home driving. But, thank God, no panic attacks!
So- today is Sunday. New week. I am throwing last week in the garbage, LOL! Except for the Penn State trip. Watching the band come out of the tunnel just chokes me up! I wish I could go back on that field again! Anyway, goal for this week is to lose the 2 lbs I gained! Tomorrow is an office day. Wednesay is my trip to New York City to see Jersey Boys on Broadway with my husband and Mom.

Stop eating cookies!! lol You are funny.
A win is a win, right? We\'ll take it and the marching band - I almost got choked up seeing your fbook pictures. So great.
Don\'t be too hard on yourself about the food at the game. Although a healthy lifestyle IS the priority, not giving ourselves a break and enjoying a Penn State game...well life\'s just too precious for that! Gotta have a day off every now and then where we put guilt aside and just soak in the sun (not a burn though, lol). So dust yourself off (literally - but glad the floors are so close) and this week can be our week to kick carbs to the curb and buckle down. Our no cookie seatbelts are buckled!! Make a game plan for food for the New York trip and stick to it. Give yourself some breathing space, love yourself no matter what, and enjoy the trip in a way where you wake up the next morning feeling healthy and alive.
The scale was not my friend today either after all that work last week!! But you and I and Joyce - we\'ll get it done this week. Next Sunday\'s scale doesn\'t stand a chance!
I am agreeing with Laura...we have to enjoy life\'s special moments. So a day\'s time out to enjoy the Penn State game and all that goes with it is a necessity!
UGH on the dust...I would want to run away for a couple of days!
OMGoodness...Laura has dropped us a challenge...we will conquer those scales. We can and WILL DO IT!
\"I am agreeing with Laura\" is really how every journal comment SHOULD start ;) ha ha ha
YOU BET I DROPPED A CHALLENGE. Gloves off!! On?? Anyways, I\'ll be checking in on you young ladies!!!
You two had better toe the mark--Laura is checking on you. lol Good luck with your ?challenge.
You are doing great. I am proud of you saying you are putting last week in the garbage. You are getting there. One day at a time. You will correct this. You had a special day and it\'s something you \'ve done before , is this how youve eaten in the past there? if so now you have down in your journal for future games. take this as a lesson and go forth and lose. :)
Congrats on no panic attacks. get threw this and the eating will come next. sometimes carbs is what helps with dizzy spells and nausea.
We do fluctuate 1-5lbs in any given period of time i was told. so lets hope you will get on the scale and it\'s gone as quick as it came.
happy happy happy the floor is in,. you can see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Yeah...............
