Ok, well since this was a summer thread and the summer is over, I'll post my progress. Down 7 pounds and keeping it off. May not seem like much, but slow and steady is the only way I can keep it off. I just joined the Y and immediately won 2 free personal training sessions! Woo!

I got as far as toasting my pop-tarts for lunch today (I forgot my lunch and had to scrounge out of the vending machine), then tossed them right in the garbage. I am now munching stale pretzels my 2 year old hid in her car seat. But it is better than pop-tarts. I think?

Well, a bit late but here is the promised update. I am barely holding onto 5 pounds that I lost. Being back at work, sitting on my tail is killing me. One of my problems is that the rock climbing gym I go to is a half hour from my house. So on the rare occasion I CAN get to the gym (usually...

Quote: Argh! I've been caught! Time for bed for me too

Quote: Part of it is stress... I just need to find a way to turn off my brain before going to bed. Thinking alone in the dark is a terrible thing, so some nights I just don't go to bed until I simply can't stay awake anymore. I remember my 4th grade teacher telling me I was going to have an...

Pretty much as I expected, the diet and exercise bit has not been going well since I got back to work. It's been a sit on my tail and think about the vending machine fest for the last week and a half... I'll weigh in this weekend and post my status good or bad. That gives me 2 days to catch up...

Quote: Big salads with lots of vinegar, a _little_ olive oil, and salt. Bowl of radishes and salt. That sort of thing. With me the key is not buying junk food. If I have chips in the house, I will eat them ALL. It is a known thing. I simply can't buy them or they will all be eaten in one sitting!

Oh man, I was doing so well. And then, tonight while trying to round up my kids for bed, well, I was a little distracted. I poured a glass of milk from the new organic half gallon of milk I had bought. "Wow, " I thought, "What are they feeding those organic cows! Man have I been missing out...

Quote: I'm interested to see what everyone else thinks, but here is my personal opinion. Scales are overrated. The best way to measure your progress is how well your clothes fit or how loose they are getting. Scales can make you crazy. Especially since you tend to fluctuate by a pound or two...

Quote: She is doing great. Back to her old bouncy self. We had her 5 year well visit today and the doc gave her a clean bill of health (except for the RA of course, that's genetic and not going away, but we are aggressively managing it). The lyme is effectively gone, though we are finishing...

I have been off from work for the past week (and this week too) carting my 2 and 5 year olds off to the zoo, crystal cave, Monkey Joe's, the Jersey shore, everywhere! So that is my excuse for not posting much. My diet has been good day/bad day/good day/bad day. Always tough when you are on the...

Quote: WOW! Good work!

Quote: Well, I'm overwhelmed. My husband told me he invited "a couple people over" to watch the fireworks he bought yesterday. I had THIRTY people show up at my house. I knew it would be more than a couple, but 30 was way more than I was expecting! (Luckily, they all brought food) Then I...

Quote: I have 2 and a half weeks off starting today! Woo! I'll let you know how it is going in a week or so. This is going to be a tough holiday weekend food wise. Gotta step up the exercise.

Ok, well the good news is that I stepped on the scale and am a solid 5 pounds down from when I started. The bad news is that I ate most of a big vat of cheese puffs left over from the party! Ack! Cake, cookies, cheese puffs... Really poor diet weekend. And July 4th is coming up so I expect...

Well, I have to report partial success. I did have a bagel, but I bailed right before lunch and worked from home the rest of the day, so I avoided the evil free pizza beast. Our chicks are 8 weeks old now and out in the coop. The run is all-but-roof. So I let them out into the run when I am...

Quote: Yes, with cream cheese. And it was really good cream cheese too

I just got email that there are free bagels and free pizza all day at work today. NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Ok, checking in. Good day yesterday diet and exercise wise. Mostly because i was so busy and flustered, I didn't have time to eat! It also helped that my friends called and told me to meet them at the gym. I did not, however, get enough sleep last night. So getting through the day exhausted is...

Well, I dropped nearly 5 pounds in one week due to stress. Now that everything is roses and sunshine this week, I am putting it back on! I have been doing well getting some exercise. I haven't gotten to the gym in 2 weeks, but I was up cleaning gutters yesterday and clearing the storm...
