Yeah - Happy Friday to you too sinkpea! We made it through another week ladies. sinkpea - Congrats on making it to the gym! I am looking forward to my first full week next week! what's everyone doing this weekend?! I actually don't have anything planned right now, which is kind of nice. The hubby and I are probably staying in tonight because they are still predicting SNOW in SACRAMENTO?!

BRAG-I'm better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more flu bug. DESIRE-Sunshine! It's been raining a lot again...it's nasty outside! GRATITUDE-For my best friend helping me to plan my trip to visit her in Germany! September cannot come fast enough - and I plan to have this weight all gone by then! This trip is a great motivator! Happy weekend to you all - hope it's a great one!!! |

The arthritis in my ankle almost got unbearable yesterday - been having to take ibuprophen, but it only takes the edge off...need some better weather. BRAG - 4 day weekend ahead of me...cannot wait! DESIRE - To get myself to the gym and get registered on Monday - I need exercise! And for better weather, but I said that already! GRATITUDE - That I have such a wonderful group of friends to spend my time off with! Hope that you all have a wonderful weekend and that this rain does not find it's way to any of you! It's miserable...but I won't let the weather get me down! |

Good Afternoon! Getting some sunshine here after lots and lots of rain...and no walk! Luckily I was on the move quite a bit yesterday so that made up for things. sinkpea-congrats on the logging! I do great mon-fri, but once Sat and Sun come around, I don't log...have to change that. hth-hope your hubby heals quickly! nancy-DITTO on the mint chocolate chip gum - it's amazing stuff. Right now I have some Stride Kinect Fruit - it's citrus flavors, and has B6 and B12...doesn't beat the mint chocolate chip though. BRAG-We had a potluck at work today and I was SO good. Ate a huge portion of the bell pepper salad I made to fill me up with some sliced turkey. YUM! Was able to have a sliver of pie and stayed well within my calories. DESIRE- Still hoping for no rain after work so I can get a walk in...not likely, but i've already been moving for most of the day so that's good. GRATITUDE- That I work with a great bunch of people who kept me laughing through our entire lunch. I was burning calories as I ate - I laughed so hard! Hope that you all have a beautiful day. |

Morning Ladies! Had a great day yesterday until I got home and set eyes on the peanut butter balls that I made for my husband. But I ran with the pooches for a little bit and managed a 200 deficit...better than nothing! BRAG - My 3 person staff is all out today and I managed to get through the morning and get all the work done all by myself...not bad! DESIRE - For no rain this afternoon so the hubby and I can get out and walk with the pooches for awhile. GRATITUDE - Today I am very happy to be in a great place at work and know that in no time I will be moving up the ranks! Hope that you all have a beautiful, sun shiny day! Looks like the sun is coming out from behind the clouds right now! |

Hi Ladies! Sorry I missed you yesterday. I left the office at 11 for a meeting and after that I just don't know where the day went! Well...part of it was a mini shopping trip, I remember that part quite clearly!!! Had something different happen to me yesterday - I didn't eat enough calories. I thought that the dinner that I made we going to be a little high in calories, so I "saved up" during the day, to find out that I miscalculated my day by about 300 calories! I only ate about 1,000 calories yesterday - I don't think that was good! Not going to do that again. sinkpea- Congrats on the foodlog! I have been trying to keep track as well - man it can be tough sometimes. Kudos to you for getting it done! hth- Glad that you are resting again! Sleep is so important...something we all probably need more of. nancy- Cheers to our prince charmings! All of us. We are VERY lucky - but so are our men...RIGHT?! :-) BRAG-I get to spend 2 weeks in southern California next month! 1 to visit my uncles in LA and another for training in San Diego. Never been to San Diego - hoping for some free time! DESIRE- Trying not to obsess, just hoping that I will see results this week. GRATITUDE- Today I am just grateful to be feeling a little more energized and not as "weighed down". Drinking water and adding in more veggies sure makes a BIG difference! I hope that you ladies have a wonderful day! I am sending the Sacramento sunshine to all of you :) |

Thanks everyone! It's great to be back, glad I have you and hope to be there for all of you! I know that we can achieve our goals, as long as we put our minds to it. Sometimes though, we all need reminders! BRAG - I got to eat lunch with my boss today, California State Controller John Chiang! Really exciting. DESIRE - For the scale to move...just a little...by the weekend. GRATITUDE - That I have a husband who loves me no matter what I weigh, but understands that I need to feel good about myself and my weight. Here's to all of us! Thanks for being there for me!

It has been a long long time...making a fresh start, setting new goals, and hoping that this year is they year I can get to when I feel good about myself and just MAINTAIN my weight instead of DIETING all the time...I know I can do it, I just have to push... BRAG - 600 calorie deficit for my first day back, so wonderful! DESIRE - Walking. Have to do it more! GRATITUDE - That I had CC to come back to to get myself back in check and on my way to losing my last 30 lbs. Hope that everyone is doing great!!! |

Hi Everyone! sinkpea - I couldn't agree with you more, where the heck did the weekend go? I feel like as soon as I go out of "work mode" I had to get right back into it again! Now if only the work week would go by that quickly - it might not be so bad!!! BRAG - Did my 5 mile workout on Saturday, felt great. Also took my dog for a little run and my mother in law's puppy for a run, both yesterday. Even got my butt in the garden for awhile last night! I can't remember the last time that I exercised on Saturday AND Sunday . . . wow! DESIRE - To get better about planning out dinners during the week. I work so hard to plan food to bring to work during the day that I totally space about dinner. So, when I get home nothing is ready and we end up having whatever is easiest to make. This is definitely going to be my focus for the next couple of weeks. GRATITUDE - That my brother in law had a wonderful 30th. He said he couldn't have asked for more! My husband and I did a good job and it feels so good to put a smile on someone's face! Well here's to a very speedy work week and lots of positive thoughts and good energy every day! |

Glad to read that you all had a great weekend! I got a 4 mile workout in on Saturday, lots of work in the yard, and had a yummy dinner with my husband's family for Easter. My calorie count was really good for the day . . . until my Aunt brought out the HOMEADE LEMON CHEESECAKE. I had a small piece but my husband ended up eating half - I didn't want to go over board. Thanks everyone for your kind words. You're such a great bunch of ladies! I am very lucky to have this place to come to. BRAG - Got to shop for some new clothes to go with the new job :) It's nice that I have actually started to have FUN shopping for clothes . . . I have a SHAPE that's starting to develop that's not just ROUND! I have the right curves starting to show through! DESIRE - For this day to fly by. 4:00 can not come soon enough! GRATITUDE - That we got a break in the monsoon from last night and the sun is shining this morning . . . more rain on the way, but the break for sunshine has done wonders to perk me up! Hope that you all have had a great start to your week. YEAH for SPRING! Keeping good thoughts for all of you. |

Hi Everyone! I am back after a long whirlwind of a weekend. I went from extreme excitement over the long weekend, to total sadness over the loss of my grandpa, to getting a call that I got a new job (promotion). It has been exhausting. It's going to take some time to come to terms with the passing of my grandfather, but he was suffering so terribly and it wasn't completely shocking that he had finally gone. I'm just finding peace in knowing that he is not in pain or suffering anymore, he's with my grandma and great grandma again, and that I have so many wonderful memories of him. A lot has been happening around here . . . wedding dresses (GORGEOUS!), girls weekend (SOUNDED SO FUN!) and some healthy competition (see brag #2 Nancy :) ). BRAG - NEW JOB!!!!!!!!!! I got a Manager position in a different division of the Controller's Office. I am so psyched - this is such a big jump for me! BRAG 2 - Got back to eating well and have been logging my food!!!! I love the new analysis - it really helps. Now I can make sure that my calories are good and I am getting the proper nutrition. Need to work on Potassium... DESIRE - To have an extremely uneventful rest of the month . . . no more rollercoaster ride! GRATITUDE - That I have some wonderful family members and friends to lean on the past week or so. I can't wait for Easter Sunday! We always have great family gatherings, but I look forward to this meal most because it is so HEALTHFUL! This time of year makes it so much easier to eat well with all the great fruits and veggies around. I'm in charge of making the asparagus and green salad . . . IT WILL BE SO YUMMY! Hope that you all have a great day. Good thoughts for ALL OF YOU! |

Walking and yardwork tomorrow, a day with the hubby on Sunday, hanging with my mother-in-law Mon-Tues, and having a SHOPPING DAY on Wednesday. This is going to be GREAT! DESIRE - That I here about the job I recently interviewed for . . .

Hi Everyone!!! Two days in a row?! I am definitely getting back into it!!! BRAG - Today is officially 1 year since my major ankle surgery/rebuild and I am feeling great!!! My doctor said that after 1 year I am totally in the clear!!! What a relief that I don't have to worry about it anymore. DESIRE - To try and wean myself off of wine ... not totally, but just cut back. It's just so darn good. GRATITUDE - That I have a wonderful mother-in-law who is SO thoughtful. She called me yesterday that she found this really rare kind of petunia and there were only a few left so she got me one for my garden. She's always thinking of me, i'm so glad she is my mother-in-law. What a blessing! I am sending good thoughts and positive vibes to each and every one of you!!! I am really enjoying getting to read all of your posts. Have a terrific Tuesday everybody!!! |
