Another a good day sticking to the food program! Love the yummy cookie! I would like another - I will drink a whole glass of water instead. Perhaps the cookie will swell up and the craving will passsssssss. I suppose if I want more results I may have to move a little more. Cleaning and shopping has been my primary activity; especially since I am an IT Chick; system work is a very sedentary occupation. Happy Monday Everyone!

Ok so I was going to wait until the weekend to weigh in... Of course, I should have never said that. I couldn't wait; started wondering "hummm, wonder how I am doing. Can I take disappointment if the numbers don't go down....? Oh sure, it isn't the weekend yet; so if I don't like the numbers they will probably be better on Saturday.. yeah!" So, I hopped up and boing I broke into the 160's; I think it was 169.5 or something. It is still sweet! Ok, I know they are just numbers - but I am definitly not feeling a change with my clothes. YET! So far, I am doing well with the foods and the discipline. Still look forward to trying the foods. Went to the grocery to get another batch of fruits to split for snacks. Didn't do it yet - too tired now. Thanks for all your notes and support folks! You all have been very very nice and supportive - does help me feel safe to be honest. Wish you all well!

I think I managed food at the party well. Only a little deviation from the plan; overall I think I did pretty well. Now 5 days in and have done pretty well at staying on track. Sometimes I am not hungry for the mid-day snack; probably because I delay breakfast. Just not hungry in the morning. I love the evening snacks/deserts; the crunchy pretzels are salty and surprising filling. I am going to wait on weighing in until the weekend. I hope, I hope I will be pleasantly surprised.

Ok the food came this afternoon. Fun looking through it; haven't figured out where to put it. My husband made room in the freezer... well that is good for all the food I have to buy the rest of the family :D Well, we'll figure it out. When to the grocery to get some of the add ins.. tried to separate the fruits into individual servings. Looking for Grab and Go.. The kids wanted to start ripping open the food.. 'where is ours'. This for Mommy.. Had to give them an orientation. We have a big family party at our house this Sunday and I am not eating the food I am getting for everyone.. That will be a nice test :P Well, I didn't get my exercise in unless you count a couple hours walking in the grocery! Tomorrow I will wake up 40lbs lighter .... :D

I am excited and apprehensive at the same time. I would like to not have to do anything except pick my packages and eat them as directed. The whole figure out and portion other foods has me concerned. Unless, there is a way to set myself so it is a no brainer. I want to make little to no decisions during the week. Simple simple simple... I work 40-60 hours a week; I have three litle girls and I want to start carving out time for physical stuff not cooking or prepping. I may be in big trouble. I should do yoga tonight; this week has been rough at work and I just want to climb under my covers for a week... I know I'll feel better tomorrow. Deep breath, the calm before the storm of excited expectation and fear of disappointment. Peace to all!

Oopsy, I am sure I am not doing this right. Psychologically I am compelled to consume more of the wrong foods and quantities; because I am soon embarking on the NS menu. 1) Margarita 6) Loaded Nacho Chips w/Beans, Cheese,Sour cream 1) Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing 1) Bowl Chicken of Tortilla Soup Then, I deserve yummies for making it through another hard day at work. I did it again; I feel too full. Makes me so aggravated and uncomfortable when I do that! *No exercise either - too tired and helping kids with homework. Ugh I know better, in fact I was more careful on Sunday and Monday actually lost a pound. Even lunch I put half of it away.. just got crazy after work. (crazier) I hope I do better after my foods get here (11/5 supposedly).

I was hoping that I would carve out time to get some exercise in at least 3x a week. Here is is again the end of the day and no exercise. I am just too tired at night, in the morning! Today was exceptionally draining! I jump up right in to meetings and work; kids come home it is time to fix dinner and help with homework... still helping with homework. Oh and I fit in sewing a TeePee for my 5 year olds Play. I am definitely not a morning person; I like the settle down time at night when everyone is supposed to be in bed. I am going to try and make sure I go to at least one yoga class at the Y; either tomorrow or Thursday. I see so many folks out there that are doing it; it is inspirational to say the least. Have a great day everyone out there! (OOh my first batch of food has SHIPPED) I told my husband to start making some room... :D - then the pressure will be on! eeks!

After a successful Halloween the kids are running around with their treats offering me some .. Not a chance.. Of course treats are not my weakness; over eating greasy salt foods... I wonder when the foods will arrive. I'll have to behave then...

Um... I suppose I better be a little more restrictive about my intake since I felt so full and sick last night from just eating too much. I had two small candies; several slices of pizza and several bowls of low carb soups. The last one was just to warm me up and it made me toooooo full. Yucky feeling but warm. Now I have just had 3 cups of coffee; and I suppose that's why I feel nausiated... better find better food soon. Another day.. Still waiting for the food.. just ordered it Friday and it is Sunday... Not that I am impatient or unreasonable... LOL Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

I sure hope this helps get me back on track. Usually the last on my list with three kids under 10, full-time IT work and married. Usually to tired to mess with figuring out what is healthy; I just want to eat something that tastes good and is fast. I hate making food decisions too... I'd like to wake up 40lbs lighter just because I signed up. Is that so unreasonable???! [img]http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wOHWOPg/weight.png[/img]
