recommitting myself
Good afternoon PA board,
Felt the need to put this down for all to see and to hold myself accountable for what I have done. This is not beating myself up, it's just time for me to face the music. Got on the scale yesterday and saw that I had GAINED
2 pounds. This is due to ingesting too many carbs and candy. There is no one to blame for this except myself and yesterday I made a promise that I was going to clean up my act.
This morning found me at my Zomba class and yesterday I got in some walking and stair climbing. I also have upped my protein intake since I had been lax in that area. it is amazing how much better I feel today just with those few changes.
Did have a nice compliment yesterday. The school had Field Day and I walk around and keep my eye on the kids. The 8th grade is in charge of it so I always worry that they will not rise to the occasion and end up embarrassing me (see Steffi it's not ALWAYS ABOUT YOU
). The parent in charge told me how nice it was to work with me this year because I was so much calmer than in previous years. Could be that I wasn't out of breath and sweating from carrying around 95 extra pounds. That made me feel good and realize that I have to get my ASS back in line.
Just wanted to put this out there to all of my WLS PA pals. Am looking forward to going to Wed. night support group at Barix on the 19th and attending the cooking class at Karen's on the 22nd. Thanx to all of you for being a great group of people. It really helps me a lot.

Good Luck Donna!
And, I get to meet you in 2 weeks!
I have to regroup and recommit myself every so often. I sometimes hate that I have to, but then realize I am thankful I have the faith and love in myself to do so. Hang in there, and if ya need it, plenty of us can help get your ASS back in line. LOL. We've all been there!

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
Well - you did MENTION me! That counts for something! :) JK!!! Congrats on that wow moment - because that is what it is.....Handling field day like a champ...The scale will fluctuate no matter what you do - however, if you know that the reason is the candy and carbs - good for you to get hold of it now! Thanks for making me smile! :)
Donna.. good for you for taking the step to "come clean" to us and more importantly to yourself. I have been struggling again, too, and I thought I was ready to recommit. Apparently not since I am still having a hard time getting there. I am at the point where I need to take one day at a time and if not, then one meal at a time, or one hour at a time. I will get back to where you are.
Great job with the gym and Awesome compliment from that parent!! Keep up the good work and keep posting. Looking forward to seeing you at Karen's!

Donna,
I am right there with you! I have been lax as well. There have been several obstacles that have prevented me from keeping with the program. First, we are doing state testing at school and we are not allowed any food or drinks in the room, which goes on for several hours for several days. I know I could have gotten Dr. P to write a note, but I have been super busy and didn't think it would affect me that much. I also have had performances which have been taking up alot of my time and energy. My big wake up call was last Monday at our dress rehearsal I started having horrible gas pains and I was almost doubled over in pain. I thought back to earlier in the day and realized that I had OD on SF candy! Well, that was it for me! I am calling Dr. P to get a note because this week we are testing all week! We also have to stand the entire time which is uncomfortable after awhile, especially for my back!
If you need to talk, CALL ME. You have my number...I realized I didn't get yours. Could you PM it to me?
See ya at support !!!
Love and Hugs of support, Beth
