well I have come to confess my sins, i too fell off the wagon for two days, I am really annoyed at myself, i had four good days and now two bad ones, and yes it will affect my weight loss, there just won't be any, never mind i am almost back on track now, it was just temptation, my daughter's friends mother made some home-made chocolate chip cookies and peanut brownies, both my favourite and i was only going to have one, that was bad enough, one ended up being four, and well you all know the rest, it just went on from there, my mind always says well once you have blown it you better make the most of it.

Oh well I am back with it again, and hoping to not do this again in a hurry, but i Cannot say confidently i won't be nawtee again.

I don't think any of us can say we won't be naughty again. But one bad day won't hurt you in the long run. It's when you make a constant habit of having one bad day after the next....

I talked to my mom about my weight not being able to give because of my schedule - she told me to quit working. Seriously. She said she doesn't care if I work this summer; if it's the money I want, she'll give it to me. She said it's not worth gaining all this stupid weight back. But, I said I'm gonna give it a few more weeks and see what happens. Try a whole new idea - not eating when I get home from the second job. I'm going to see where that leads me.

Sara: If that means you're going to go to bed starving, BAD IDEA!

I am worn out . . . I did a serious back workout with hubby yesterday and then rolled a paint roller all day today, LOL . . . my lats are killing me!!!

Time for a shower & some relaxing!!!

Hubby made the best salad last night!!! Love it when he does stuff like that . . . then I don't have to cook as much. It's a BIG salad. Probably will last for a week!!!

Speaking of salads, I mentioned that I eat a lot of them but I get sick of them after awhile. Strangest thing though is I seem to do better on the days I DO eat them. My point being that sometimes what you do eat is as important as what you don't eat. Of course that is obvious for health and nutrition, but I'm speaking of weight control here.

Buckner, I am that last person to offer you advice after what you have achieved and I haven't, but here I go anyway. I think Vermontcat's suggestion of eating your main meal in the middle of the day and a good salad for your evening meal might be worth a try.

Buckner, I think you would do better to eat at least a little something after your second job, maybe just a banana or a light yogurt before you go to sleep.
If you have to quit your job, maybe quitting the 2nd one would be better so then you could at least eat dinner at a more reasonable hour.

I am just wiped out today, yesterday I spent all day out in the hot sun at a horse show that my daughter was in. I love horses and spending the whole day surrounded by horses is something I just love to do. I just wish there was more shade around the riding rings, I have a bit of a sunburn today.
Toby's my baby, when are you doing your next horse show? Has your finger been feeling better? I know what you mean about horseback riding being real exercise, I rode last Sunday and my legs were sore for the next two days! You probably ride every day since you have your own horse. I hadn't ridden since last October but now that it's summer I hope to ride once a week when my daughter has her riding lesson.

Christa, it looks like the first week of Fitness Fridays is coming to an end.
I guess you will be starting a new thread for week 2 tomorrow, will you be putting a link to this thread in it?

**carole** · 07-09-2006, 09:38 PM

Well two days kinda stretched to four days off track, but I am pleased to say I am back on track again, but i really do need to stay there, I have been doing this all winter, and whereas my weight gain is only 2kgs this winter instead of putting the whole lot back on and then some, i still want to loose more and be at goal for the coming summer.

So wish me luck folks, i need it believe me, and I hope everyone has a good week,as I sure intend to.,with hopefully some results to report in.

Yes, tomorrow will start a new Fitness Friday!
