Hopefully I will have a reasonable dinner and get back to healthy tomorrow. I just LOVE ice cream and candy. mele, I hope things get better. Stress is my #1 eating trigger. For Valentine's it looks like we are having a party. (Chloe requested it.) She insists that we have cake. Everybody is going to be here so a party sounds good to me. I did go to the park with my grandkids today. We took the dogs and I walked with them quite a bit.

Colds & respitory crud abound here & across the pond. No mercy! Today was good as I was gone most of the day seeing the chiropractor for a neck/shoulder adjustment & some business. Thank G for Dr. N, as he keeps this ole bod's bones truckin down the road. Dinner was good-veggies & chicken. Dessert was a few non fat gummi bears. Tomorrow is tax day-sooo happy that is taken care of w/my accountant. Hope is is well with you Tinkeroon.♥Mom

I haven't found my zone yet. I'm get on the Wii daily but don't do the full workout that I plan. More carbs/starches are creeping into my diet. Just stuff like that. We are going to be in Reno on Valentines Day. We are actually going to go to Lake Tahoe that day but the freebie room and meals are in Reno It will be nice to get away for a couple of days but it doesn't bode well for my zone. I'm hoping that thought will keep my "good" the rest of the week. Hi and hugs everyone! It's great to see you here

You have been so good in the zone you can totally get back there! Amazed, plan a few treats, stick to the few treats, then back on the wagon when you return
Originally Posted By Labuda Well, yesterday was the first day of week 2 for me at "Jazz it off" --- down exactly 2 lbs! NICE, but I will admit that part of me is wondering how much of that 2 lbs was the 1 1/2 inches of hair I got cut off on Saturday! lol
Originally Posted By smedley Managed to make time to call the woman at the clinic this afternoon, hadn't really planned to go in until next week, but she suggested Friday, and I thought you know what why not bite the bullet, so I am going in on my way to work Friday afternoon, it's not till 5, so I am thinking the weigh in might scare me though because I know for a fact my weight fluctuates hugely through the day!!
Originally Posted By mele Thanks guys! I will post a photo of me in the dress this weekend.

That was kinda cool. :-D

Originally Posted By smedley Another 100% day yesterday and on track today too Mele that is awesome news about the blood pressure meds, after all this is all about being healthier for us all right AHH get on in the wagon
Originally Posted By MomluvsDisney I am getting back on track, did 45 minutes of lap swimming on Monday and had a water Aerobics class last night (kicked my bootie too!!). Back to lap swimming tonight. I feel amazing after each workout and truly and loving this!! I know I havent lost wieght yet, but this feeling is helping me maintain good nutrition and that is a huge bonus!
Originally Posted By Tinkeroon Wow, that's a great workout MLD^^^! Wish I had somewhere to swim...but I'd never do it in public! And "Yea!" for Mele...getting those meds cut back! That's just wonderful news. AHH...we all fall off that wagon from time to time; it's just good to know someone is always there to pull us back up! Amazed, I'll be thinking of you in Tahoe/Reno! Sounds like fun! I know it'll be hard with all the temptations there...I wish you luck...try like Smed said...maybe taking a few snacks with you. Hopefully that will help. With the cold I had this past week and starting back to work, I've been really tired and not getting my exercise in. But today I feel more like I've got my mojo back and plan on doing some arobics in a few minutes. My eating has been on track though. I got on the scale and found that I am down a grand total of 7 lbs. now! Woo Hoo! I can't help but think that if I'd done my exercises too, it could have been so much better! But doesn't do any good to kick myself in the pants now. I am really happy that I continued to lose anyway. Good luck all! I'm off to exercise before I lose my incentive!

During the day when everyone else wants to be here there can be as many as 18!!! Then I am leaving for Disneyland for 2 gloreous weeks. I am not worried about gaining weight there and even though there is all that walking; I still do not get the right kind of systematic exercise. So I hope to stay about where I am with a good attitude so when I get home all I will have to do is get the exercise going again.
