| September 10, 2001 Sept. 2nd was our 12 yr. anniversary. Was wonderful staying at the Bed and Breakfast for the whole weekend. First time we have spent the night off away from the kids. I had 12 banked points going into the weekend, but failed to bring my low point snacks and ended up going over points for the week. Lesson learned. PACK SNACKS!! Since then I have lost motivation. PMS in here, so I know that is why the struggle. Well, today is back on track day for me. I already made it to the gym and am feeling rejeuvenated. I am looking forward to putting the star on the calendar for staying w/in my points. Sept, 12,2001 Just in awe of what has happened in our country. I pray for all those families who are suffering. Didn't do well w/my points yesterday. Went way over, but have been in pretty good control today. I have been so hungry w/pms this time. I mean when I eat something my stomach is still growling. Plus I am really tired. Even took a nap today while the kids were down. I did get to put my star on the calendar monday night for staying w/in my points Sept. 13, 2001 Got to put another star on my calendar yesterday. Still had a really hard time staying w/in my points, but I did it. Today was better. I didn't watch much of the news coverage and actually got out of the house. So I think that helped immenslly Sept. 21, 2001 Sorry I haven't done this in a while. Paul's surgery went really well. Though I didn't handle the stress well and went over points, but I have been back on track now for 2 days. Even banked 5 points already. Lesson learned, pack snacks no matter how stupid you feel. I should have been better prepared. I didn't really take the time to sit down and think about how I might react to all of this and figure out different ways to cope w/sitting in a hospital all day long. I am really going to step it up. My Halloween challenge is to lose 10 pounds. I want 2 more stars!! Tues. Sept. 25, 2001 Lost 3.6 today. I am on cloud 9!! I didn't expect that much of a loss. I really worked hard to undo the damage from paul's surgery. I have had 5 perfect 0p (on program) days and still going strong. Not much going on this week, but staying home to tend to my dh :) He is doing much better today. Just really bored and I miss going to the gym. Speaking of which I have yet to do it at home. I still plan on getting my 3 days in this week. So tomorrow when the kids go down is my plan. Friday, Sept 26, 2001 Been getting out and about alittle bit. Paul is getting around now. Took Kirstin to the fair and only had 2 bites of a funnel cake. I promised myself that if I did good w/that then I could have a nice piece of 5 point cake and a cup skim milk and enjoy it for A LOT less points than that funnel cake. I was really proud of myself. My wieght is up again. Ovulating. Interesting how our bodies react to hormones. I have seen this steady trend now for months. I bloat during pms and ovulation. So really I only have 2 good weigh in's a month. Still trying to figure out how not to bloat during those times, but you know how those cravings hit. :) Sunday, Sept. 30, 01 NOT A GOOD WEEKEND!! No whining though. It 's done and over with. Sitting here listing the excuses isn't going to erase it. So tomorrow is a new MONTH for me. My goal is ALL 31 days OP. I am going to add a new page that lets you know whether or not I met the challenge every day. I AM DOING IT!!! Good note is I am going to the gym again tomorrow. Can't wait to get moving again. Wed. Oct. 3, 01 I am making it. Pms is hitting me hard and all I want are sweets. Mon. got back to the gym and I stayed w/in my points, but I did have to use those exercise points. Whatever gets me through and I am OP is all that matters. Went to the gym again today. Feels great to be moving again, but MAN two weeks of not exercising REALLY makes a difference. I stayed w/in my points again yesterday. So far so good. Struggling, but I am doing it. Don't want to dissapoint myself or you. :) Thur. Oct. 4, 01 I am still going "strong" still battling pms cravings, but have held out so far. I am going to try something different. I am going to start my day at 5pm w/0 points and end at 5pm the next day.. I have been reading from other people postings that it has really worked for them if you are an evening snacker. From 3 pm on is my worst times. So I will keep you updated how that goes as well. What I did for today was continued like I was still counting points like I normally do, but also starting a new day w/dinner points. So I still managed to finish up today OP, but have also started my points for tomorrow. Hope you understand that :) Tues. Oct. 9, 01 Still going strong. No more pms so things are much easier. Course there isn't a bite of chocolate. in the house!!!lol I bit the bullet today for weigh in and wore jeans. I figured I might as well get my heavy clothes on now and get the gain over with. By my scale I was down another pounds, but w/my winter clothes on it put a 1.8 gain on me. Not upset as I know I lost technically. Next week will be a breeze. Now watch it be hot again! :) I LOVE my new eating schedule. It seems to be working really well for me. I am not stressing about food. Hope it continues. |
