It has been a stressful week. I keep forgetting to weigh in.

I may go weigh now, all I have had is a glass of water and a cup of coffee... yes, I realize it is time for lunch, but that breakfast resolution isn't going so well either.
I keep waiting for life in general to get easier, and then more 'doodie' crops up. I need a different life plan, besides chocolate.

Well - I tend to use portion control rather than "low-fat" foods since DH is diabetic and many of those low-fat things have extra carbs in them. I mostly need to exercise more though. And get off my fluffybutt more.

Maybe after this cup of coffee...

Sometimes, I must admit, I get so busy I just forget to eat... its not the healthy way of doing thing, but life demand my undivided attention, forget what my stomach wants.

yea, and i need to do that. I should just give up byc. I don't have cable so that isn't a problem. I Get depressed because of all we have to deal with. I seem to get it under some form of control and then more poop happens. Then instead of 'thinking' I just come here and try to distract myself from life. At least I no longer munch on snacks when I am here.
off to the scale...

well, no change. It isn't good, but it isn't bad.

so, we try a bit harder and keep up the encouragement and hide the chocolate.

I think that's the hardest part about eating healthy. It's so hard when you're traveling. We have to drive 1 hr. 15 mins. to any major shopping venue. I always pack snacks for the kids, but inevitably we'll stop somewhere for lunch. My problem is being to cheap to pay $4 for a lousy little salad. Just remember, you can ask most places to substitute items on the menu. I hate when people ask me if I'm dieting. I like to respond, "No, just eating smart."

I'm sitting on my rear too much today.

Going to go feed the chickens, and see if the daughter wants to take a walk so I can feel motivated.

Plus, I am planning on entering the pillsbury bake off this year, and I have to test another recipe. So need an excuse to allow myself a few bites here and there today.

Funny you should say that.

I spend way too much time on here, but I live in out in the sticks and I'm at home with little kids all day. This is my social outlet and I need it. I have tried limiting the amount of time I come on. I check my emails throughout the day because of the dog rescue and I usually check what's going on on a few threads, then I'm off. I try not to linger too long. If I do it's first thing in the morning with my cup of coffee. I think in general us women need to get our words out. Men speak in sentences, women speak in paragraphs. Nothing wrong with trying to get your mind off of things. It's called survival!!!

I don't know what's wrong with my insides. I can't hardly seem to eat much of anything without my insides wreaking havoc. I thought it was gall bladder issues but the doc said it wasn't. Last night I was feeling fine. Later in the evening I drank a glass of water and instantly I was in pain. Straight through my right boob and out my shoulder blade. I couldn't get any relief and felt that way for about an 1hr. 1/2. I felt like that the day before after I'd had some low fat cottage cheese. Any ideas? The doc wants me to have more blood tests....I've been dealing with this off and on for the past three years. Thought it was meat and cut that out of my diet. I think I'm just falling apart.
