Sorry I was no support for the long weekend. I'm glad you were keeping your goals at the front of your brain. Way to go! I got terribly discouraged around Fri-Sat and was actually contemplating going starvation diet until I get back down 10 pounds. Fortunately on Sunday morning I could once again see the futility of that and have had two good days. I even went out to Denny's, of all places, with my kids and made a good choice that kept me with in my calorie goal. I did log onto CC yesterday but I only had a few minutes and couldn't locate this thread. I think I've been working really hard around the house and sort of 'rewarding' myself with food. Some reward - tight clothes! I REALLY don't want this to go any further. Help keep me straight ladies! |

hey chris -- you can reward with food, just make it good food! ( : I hate it that this thread is hard to find on the weekends when you really need it. I try to start commenting here Friday afternoons with a challenge for the weekend. Just for next time, you can always find it by going to my profile and looking through the posts at the bottom of the page. ( : NO STARVATION DIET --- we can do this the right way, girl!!!!! |

Well, here it is a Friday again & time to get this tread bumped up the list. I've had SUCH a good week I really don't want to blow it this weekend! What's the challenge this week, Olivia? My personal challenge will be a picnic Saturday afternoon. My goal is not to do my usual 'little bit of everything' ending with a gigantic plate of food. I'm going to look over the fare and pick what I want most and take a reasonable portion of that. I should have a good enough eye by now to stay within my calorie goal doing that...even with a smidge of desert. Hoorah! I'm ready! |

smart thinking, dess -- thanks! hear that, chris? ( : and you beat me to it this weekend.... : D you can do it at the picnic too.... take a big green salad and a fruit salad and pig out on your own stuff and then do everyone else's. that's my trick. or a veggie tray.... whatever you like best and other people will too...) CHALLENGES FOR THIS WEEKEND: Drink at least 64 oz water (I aim for at least 100) 2 servings of fruit/veggies (or more) try a new activity!!!!!!! at least 30 minutes physical activity both days! OH -- and I heard from caro. HURRAY!!!!!!!!! I think she will be back this weekend.... |

are you ready?????? ( ; I am at 1100 cals, burned something like 500 today, am going bowling, and pledge NOT to have chili cheese nachos. I am taking my own Crystal Light, so I can slurp happily and save my cals for snacking after we are done. I hate going out late on Fridays.... I'd rather get going early and be in bed by 11 (yes, I am old). Bout otherwise, getting up to jog sort of sucks and I have been making myself do it on weekend mornings too since I make the challenges...... |

Hey, hey, hey! I did not pig out at the picnic! YAY! I had some of the southwestern lentil salad that I made (and highly recommend by the way), and four other lighter salads and NO deserts. I did have lots of fruit too. I also played three rousing games of volleyball in the sand. I don't know how many cals that burned but I do know I hit the sand about 10 times! The spectators got a workout laughing... |

Ok I'm back to get down to business! vacation rocked but unfortunately Jeffs camera broke day 2 so we went old school and got disposables! My sister has a bunch on her camera and a few of the actual proposal. I'm working on a picture of the ring as soon as I can get a camera that works to take it! My camera phone does not do it justice it just makes it look like a blur! Another weekend rapidly approaching, and I'm going to my friends wedding out of town. Which = hangover haha and hangover = hangover food! I will do my best to do the old challenge of water for every cocktail. and there will be a whole lotta booty shakin goin on! |

Actually I was fortunate, I didn't realize that people were SUPPOSED to bring just salads! There really wasn't much there that tempted me to be 'bad'. I think the worst thing there was the pan of chocolate raspberry almond bars that I made. I only tasted a 1/2 " square to be sure I wasn't poisoning anyone. lol! If I can resist the only two surviving bars until DH gets home, I'll be safe.
