got on the scales this morning for the first time in a long time and was shocked.....Too much junk food lately for sure so I'm counting calories with fitday again...luckily I have their CD so it's easy....but man....it doesn't take me long to snap back to the old bad habits and put the pounds back on.
It's like starting over again..
coffee
oikos yogurt
False alarm...it was the scales...they have been weighing Denny heavy these last few days too.....now they died....so we got the old ones out and we are right where we thought we were...I coudn't figure out how my weight went up 17 pounds and I didn't feel it and my clothes still fit......well...it didn't...what a relief...so no calorie counting as long as I'm not gaining...I will keep doing what i'm doing. Don't know rather to try another new battery or toss them....hmmmm
Lunch = whole wheat roll with beef and mayo, grapefruit juice, almond butter bar and chocolate

You must have been SO THANKFUL that it was the scale and not you!
Means that you are doing things right. Keep on. And if you want to make any more changes, and when you decide you want to lose more weight, simply make ONE SMALL CHANGE in your habits. Whether it's having an omelette with one less egg (i think you already only eat one egg - so that's not an option lol), or having one cookie instead of two, whatever it is - go for it, and the change will eventually help your weight loss.
That's for when and if you want to - but also, you are probably still learning to eat by intuition and without calorie counting, so if you are still learning these new things, you don't need to make any more changes yet, no matter how small :)
thanks for all the advice you've been giving me, i know i sound very lazy and i admit i have some kinda problem following thru with becoming actually good at any field i have worked in. it's because i didn't practice or put in enough effort. I'm better with active jobs, task oriented jobs...too bad i realized this really late in life, after injuries.
I'll for now have to settle with my job and hope to keep it. Signing up for the course my father wants me to take also. It's a LOT of commitments for this winter. I guess i'll learn to push thru, once again.
Tearing into the food closet and setting up new sheving system....I think this is going to work beautifully..........finally there will be a system and I will be able to find things when i need them and it will also allow me to use u[p older things first. Way too may past date cans and boxes in there...I'm not afraid to eat them...as long as they are not bulging or look different in some way......This is what we needed to prevent that from happening.
Breakfast = breakfast sandwich, coffee and grapefruit juice
Lunch= I'm planning to make a green salad, steak and pot stickers
Dinner will be yogurt and ?

I am sorta afraid when it comes to eating old things, sometimes i do throw out.
Your food planning looks great. Do you always drink grapefruit juice? What makes you choose grapefruit?
Yum to the pot stickers!
and dinner sounds nice, light!

The rain finally stopped...they turned the overflow off at the dam......so maybe we can have some winter now......I'm ready. waiting for fed Ex again today...aparently one box had it's label ripped...and they had to correct it..so second day of deliveries here......coming.in today ( hopefully) is a shelving storage unit for a closet...I'm looking forward to that.

Just got word that brother in law got his first chemo treatment and it went well....yesterday was a bummer for him though...his port had been put in too deep and it went all the way through his ventricle ( heart)....they replaced it...and he was good to go today. We just lost another brother in law to cancer last year.....this is getting to sound way to familiar.....a good frind's husband is fighting it now too....my Dad died of it after being diagnosed only 5 weeks before.......cancer....UGH!!!

Breakfast sounds great. I had a similar one: small wrap with cream cheese and salami. now just working on lessening my craving for candy this morning!...i was in a really bad habit, so i'm working to curb it...it started around my trips ... feeling i was constantly on the go i was craving carbs and sweets and sugar basically...getting back to reality now.
I hope you enjoy the day, i enjoy being home also and moving at my own pace.
Really, if you want to know how i want to help myself - it's by using my time at home to learn to do more things for myself. I will learn a few easy things to make this year...like how to bake fish...and get used to making fish at home...so i can get off of making chicken and turkey burgers. !!!
i also want to make the mashed cauliflower this year. and cauliflower fried rice.
i am the biggest procrastinator....and now i finally have the time to work on cooking.
it's not a job that i should be concerned with as much as cooking and doing things at home for myself at this time :)
Going to venture out into the wild today....hope the ice is off the roads.............I'm getting cabin fever a bit...not really seriously...but a bit.
Breakfast = coffee, egg, toast, bacon
Lunch = hamburger and fries and a pure organic bar
snack = chocolate
Dinner = banana, chicken and nudles alfredo, coffee ( decaf)
Went shopping and the car didn't seem to lock..it even beeped at me.....went into store...and came out and put things in back of car....opened drivers door and realized why it wouldn't lock before...I had never turned it off!!!! OMG........This car doesn't start with a key...and you push a button to turn it off....apparently it was unlocked and running for the whole time I was in the store...it is so quiet...and the steering wheel is so thick that it blocks my view of the start/stop button. I'm considering myself very lucky to still have a car this afternoon! Then I get home and the garage door opener won't open the door more than a foot......3rd try was a charm........I'm thinking I either need to get out more...or maybe they should just lock me up.....

I am waiting for it to snow, we might get a measurable amount over the weekend.
Denny called me into the dining room this morning to look outside and see 2 does having their breakfast. I love seeing them....at our last house on Christmas day there were 11 deer grazing on the lawn...just a perfect picture for the whole family to see. Deer bow season is on now and firearm season starts wednesday..........hopefully we still have them visiting after season is over. Denny is headed to the car dealership for truck service, I was going to the grocery store for perishables but the roads are icy...so that will have to wait for another day. We have enough food here for at least a year but perishables need to keep being replenished. I unearthed a lot of neat stuff in the basement yesterday......need to make room for it up here.........I've committed myself to spend less sitting down time and more on my feet time......will see how that goes. I need to get some things done once and for all...I have a tendency to put things off...can't keep doing that.
Breakfast = cheese omelette, toast, ham, coffee
Snack = chocolate
Lunch = chicken, beets and fettuchini alfredo
Snack = veggie straws
Dinner = chicken salad, 6 crackers, raisins, peanut butter

Up early and trying to figure out which one of the coffee makers is leaking water all over the countertop....Oh my life is so exciting!
Breakfast = yogurt and coffee
Heading for the basement to go through bins from my parents house that were moved here over 2 years ago. At the time it took me 3 months to settle their business, pass some things on to other family members , donate so much to salvation army that they sent a huge truck to pick it up....many trips made by me to St Vincet dePauls , goodwill and salvation army drop offs and a moving company to haul what I decided to keep here. Now...after almost 3 years I think I'm ready to weed things out again. It's been a task that I have been putting off. I remember a friend who had 50 bins in her garage from her Mother...and then Vickie herself died without ever sorting through them herself and it was left to her Husband and daughters. I don't want to do that to my family........I remember that 3 months it took me to empty my parents house so it could be sold...that is not the legacy that I want to leave my kids......just a month before my Mom passed away she told me she was leaving me a mess..... their house was always beautiful and neat...but they knew how to stash stuff in attics, under furniture and and in hiding spots that almost defy gravity.......I found some beautiful treasures...I also found things that were not worth storing. My Dad had written instructions on what to do upon their deaths, where to find the wills and who to call to settle their affairs...that notebook was so valuable to me at the time......and as I settled things...I created my own notebook with info on every call and correspondence......I told my sister in law about these notebooks and she did the same when her husband died. Sometimes things like that mean more to family than some trinket. I need to create a book for my husband and kids....my husband does not even know how to deal with our monthly bills...and what our passwords are. I have a lot to do.
AM snack = chocolate
Lunch = green salad with coutons and ginger dressing, 1 baked chicken leg and some chicken stuffing
Evening = grilled cheese

Evening = yogurt, chips, chocolate
I definately need to concentrate on fruit and veggies tomorrow

I wrote a big old long entry this morning and then accidentally deleted it when I went to add a snack......That's what i get for doing 2 things at onece. Now the computer is getting overheated again and turning itself off...... tough start to this morning...in a caqpsule...cleaning and counting calories....getting off before this thing shuts me down......I'll be back when I can.
