Ding Ding…Going Down???

Why yes I AM! Did a mid-week weigh in this morning and Im down 2 pounds from Sunday. I cant tell you how happy I am at that because all Ive done for the past several months is go up. So, YIPEE! I am going to do a twice weekly weigh in as I get back on board with this to help me know I am on the right track and as part of my accountability. When I feel I am, I will go back to once a week.

Another busy day…dropping my daughter off this morning to head to Myrtle Beach with her bf and his family for a wedding this weekend. Then back here and clearing out junk…straightening up rooms and a little cleaning to get ready for realtor pics tomorrow. Sent my 14 y/o back to school today…his ankle is healing but sore. Now my 12 y/o is home…I think he is “sick”…his sick…cough cough…I don’t want to go to school so Im sick, sick…that kinda sick.

I didn’t get to get on here much at all yesterday…made me a sad puppy  But I do think about all of you and it helps me to know I am not in this alone. I did pretty well with my food…calories were higher than I planned mainly due to a last minute dinner. I have to tell you, I craved fruit again yesterday evening. The watermelon and cantaloupe are soooo good I was wanting it…another YIPEE! Oh and my son took my last beloved Sandwich Thin so for lunch I put my chicken salad on lettuce leaves and rolled them up…YUM! So here is my food journal from yesterday.

    2 lbs down…..yay!!!!
    Craving fruit? that is so impressive! I must admit I still have to make myself eat it, but I do enjoy it so that’s good!
    Great food choices, I wouldn’t worry about the higher cals as so much of it was fruit and veg and that can never be bad for us (well, that’s my opinion anyway!!) :)

    yeeeay on the 2lbs. Good idea with the lettuce leaves. I have to start getting lettuce now as a filler for the evenings when I get the munchies.

    COngrats on going down down Debbie!!

    and I love putting my sandwiches together with lettuce it even my burgers it makes them yum yummy :p

    I loved your commitment list I think I may have to live by some of the words you wrote. I’m sorry to hear the only way to move is by selling everything. I could never imagine having to haggle with people over my belongings things that made me and have been with me for years. If I was there I would come buy the one thing you’d want to keep the most then turn around and give it to you as a gift.

    I love Kashi cereal too. I just went out and bought the Cinnamon Harvest. Yes, we are all here for you. I am sorry you have to move too and sell your things! You aren’t alone. If you need to talk, I am here. I’ll listen.
