***Misty Monday Roll Call***

Well apparantly it's supposed to rain most of the day, if not all of it?  The weather report thingie shows variations of such on the hour by hour forecast on www.weather.com  It says either "rain" or "showers" and then it also says "heavy rain" which I thought WERE showers...but apparantly am mistaken.

As you can see by my face plastered all over the posts this morning, I've had some down time.  I OFFERED to take triage tonight..the place that I hate...but in "theory" day shift should be here on time AND I should have no patients in the waiting room when I leave.  So, again, in THEORY I should be walking out the door by like 7:02.  It happened twice last week - let's see if it happens today!

I'm going to the gym regardless on the way home.  I will at least do the 8:15 spin class.  Hopefully I can get to the gym by 7:30 and therefore leave time for some treadmill and/or weights/abs.   We'll see

On the way home from the gym it's stopping for some lunch meat...

And then crawling into bed until tonight to "rinse wash and repeat" lol

I am working very hard at not letting an argument last night derail my plans today, That is what happens to me, I decide to do better and something happens and i say " F IT"  So I had decided to do the pouch test just to get a handle of the carbs and to get a little momentum. I am at a sink or swim point with my weight and the decisions I make around it.  So I got up and had my protein shake anyway even though I wanted to go to Sheetz and get a english muffin. I am having my coffee now and will have protein shakes the rest of the day. I am glad I did not let the percieved failure because I though about going to Sheetz derail me. Not as responsible for my thoughts as I am for my actions, how I choose to act on them, So that was my night and morning so far :)

Sorry to hear about the argument - but  your right - you may not be able to be totally "responsible" for your thoughts but you ARE responsible for your actions.  Something that my father had said once when he quit smoking...."is a cigarette going to solve the problem"  No.  Never.  And an english muffin won't take away an argument, hurt words, or raw emotions.  (I know...easier said than done and we ALL struggle with it)  Good luck today!

thanks. When I had that Screw it thought, I just said to myself. YOU DONT GET TO BE IN CHARGE ANYMORE!  We are doing it my way today. and that consists of me NOT eating out of pain and emotions. It is like the other meditation said. The argument will be a distant memory but that english muffin will last on my hips and in my psyche as a failure much much longer. We dont argue much but when we do, it is often very rough on us both

You are one strong lady! And so damn smart to boot! Good luck with the 5DPT! You can do it and we are here to support you! You are right, the argument will soon be ancient history but you will remember making the right food choices and the way you feel for life!

*Hugs*

I need to find this strength that you have so I can also let my cravings know who's boss.  You go girl!! You can do it!

Nichole I started the 5dpt test 2 day too! I really want to eat something but im NOT going to! You can do it!

Let me know if you need some cheering on!! My hubby is actually doing it with me!!!

will let you know. My witching hour is when i get home from work, that will be hard.

Rain and snow first part of week, then high 69 on Thursday!  Of course, that is my all day at work day, go figure.  Spring fever i****ting and I so want it to be warm.

Expecting great things.  Anyway, off to school today.  Our class has dropped to two of us so lots of special attention if needed.  The teacher is a little strange. He stands there and reads his notes to us.  That's all he does.   More hands on is needed but my goal is to pass the test and get certified!

Have a great day all!

Mondays are bad enough but rainy, dreary Mondays after only 4 hours of sleep is killin me!! Finally finished moving this weekend and did a 2 day liquid "flush" to get rid of the darn carb-monster that has invaded my life. Seemed to have worked because I'm 6lbs lighter than Thursday. Even if it's only water weight lost, it's not on me anymore so it's wt loss none the less...
I have to clean my old apartment sometime this week and bring down all of the food in the fridge and freezer. Lemmie tell ya you never really know how much crap you own until you have to put it all into boxes and move it!!! I'm really hoping to stay on track this week and follow my meal plan, get my water in and get my YMCA membership transferred. I'm 1lb away from my doctors goal and 10lbs away from mine!! I'm praying to be there by June, but we'll see!
