Well folks...let's just say it's been awhile. Life's obstacles have kind of gotten in the way of my blogging. Up until this past weekend, I have been doing pretty good on eating right. My grandpa passed away a couple of weeks ago and there has been some family issues as well...needless to say there were some very stressful days thrown in there. Fo the most part, holding up though, trying to eat right & exercise. THEN came the weekend, lol...make that Thanksgiving, Black Friday, then Chicago with my kiddos for 2 days...let's just say Monday morning weigh-in was not friendly. We have less than 3 weeks left of our Biggest Loser contest at work and while it'll be really difficult to get that 1st place title, I'm hoping for at least 2nd place. I still need to get on board with the working out, but all things in good time. TODAY'S journal:

I'm still around....

I haven't deserted...I'm still here. Had a bad eating weekend and was hoping to make up for it with good eating and lots of exercise this week. My back has other ideas though.... I threw it out somehow or another and was just dying yesterday/last night. It has gotten better throughout the day today, so I'm hoping maybe by Thursday it will be good enough to get some exercise in. So far so good on the eating front this week. Just been very busy so haven't had time to actually post journals...will try to get back posting this week though.

Grrrrrr! Food Journal 11/4/10

I've been so tired this week, have hardly had time to post my journal. Rest assured...I HAVE been counting points. Did fine on Wednesday- stayed within points. Stepped on the scale this morning hoping for a loss after trying to make up for Saturday's binge fest all week, but my body has decided to NOT cooperate, lol. Actually though, that's not fair- I have no idea how many lbs. that binge fest actually put on over the weekend, but I have been trying to make up for it all week. Maybe I gained 5 lbs. and lost it over the past several days? I'm thinking that's highly likely, but since I only step on the scale once a week, it's hard to tell. Have weigh-in at work this morning and it's probably going to be about the same, maybe a little up or down from last week. I know I have to step up the exercise since I'm starting to slow down. Oh well.... Here is yesterday's journal:

I hate Halloween! & Food Journal 11/1/2010

Wow...hard to believe it's November already! Well, I managed to get through the weekend- although not as well as I'd hoped. While Saturday was a planned "cheat" day, I think I definitely took it too far. The day started at the bowling alley's Halloween party at 9am...a virtual "Pot-luck" of cookies, candy, cupcakes, and other assorted goodies- and it didn't get much better from there... A trip to BWW's and trick-or-treating Sat. night....I think I was comatose before my head even hit the pillow that night. Now...yesterday I knew there would be even more candy temptations, so I practically starved myself all day so I could eat even more candy, lol. Even so...probably ate more than I should have. Today is a new day. Even though it was a very busy/exhausting/emotionally draining day at work, I have done well and even EXERCISED purposely for the first time in months. I think the binge junk food eating was a good motivator, lol. I have a gazillion exercise videos, but it seems that I always fall back on my tried and true..... Richard Simmons' Sweatin' to the Oldies- yeah! Taya decided she wanted to exercise with me....about 10 minutes in she asked "Is that a boy or a girl?" hahaha. About 5 minutes later she gave up and I had to sweat solo. When I was at my very heaviest weight ever and was too embarassed to go to the gym and too out of shape to do most other videos, Richard was there for me! Believe it or not, I think the tapes I have now are my mom's tapes that she got when I was a kid! That's okay though...at least they get me moving! My goal....at least 3 days this week- and we'll see from there. Today's journal:
