Large Sandwich at supper with lots o' toppings(counts as two)

but could have done without
the peice of raisin bread with apple butter
the sour gummi worms (about 18)
the 3 fried chicken tenders

Rode on my bootie to town for one hour. When I got to town, me and my sister sat on our booties and watched The Interpreter for two hours. Then we rode to various places and looked around, including WALMART and International Market(the place that sells the fresh made pesto), not to be confused with World Market. Then we rode back home on our booties for another hour. Then I did my bike ride and here we are.

1. I did about 20 min of Bible Study this morning in Ecclesiastes. I haven't done any since I got home from town and will probably not do any before I go to sleep.

 

[Lesli54]

The bad eating days come and go. But you just have to keep focusing on the goal and realize that the bad days are much fewer than before.

Keep up the good work. I sure would like to try one of those masquerading breadsticks.

but could have done without
the peach cobbler at lunch (it wasn't even good,but I ate it anyway )
the one swiss roll out of a two pack( if you have noticed all the swiss rolls lately, my dad was going to the dollar general the other day and I said hey dad would you get some swiss rolls while your gone, he said yes and then returns with 3 boxes of them he was just trying to be nice but now I stare at them every time I go in the kitchen)

2. Did not stay up and active most of the day yesterday. Stayed home and watched my brothers

Bible Study Goals
1. Did no bible study yesterday. No excuse why. I just didn't (It is easy for me to find other things to do, but I need to make time for my bible study)

 

[Zela]

Today's Goals

Eating Goals
1. Did not eat within my points range because I ate
half of a loaded sweet potato(with caramel syrup, butter, and marshmallows)
yeast roll from texas road house with cinnamon butter
1/2 cup of some chicken casserole (with bread crumbs, mushrooms, cream of something soup,brocolli, and apples)
cinnamon twists from Taco Bell

Bible Study Goals
1. Have not done bible study yet today, but will do at least 20 min before I go to sleep.

lesli 54 that is good encouragement. You are right, the bad days do come, but they aren't nearly as often as they used to be. For me I used to would eat junk food all day long, but now even on my bad days, I don't eat near as much as I used to. Plus I exercise now (I used to wouldn't exercise b/c I didn't like to get sweaty, but now I love it)
Thanks, that was really what I needed to hear.

 

[pearlieq]

Don't worry too much about slip-ups, the fact that you get up every morning and try again is what's going to make you sucessful!

Isn't Sunday a great hiney-sitting day? I just seems right. Good job on using exercise to combat the feeling that you ate too much. Some people would have just given up then and stuck their head in the pantry--that was a very healthy way to cope for you!

Have a great Monday!

I took my little brothers to a doctors appt. yesterday and it literally took all day, then I had to go here and there, across town, driving like a maniac, trying to get all my other business done around town before the places I needed to go to closed. It was a very stressing day. Then it was nearly 9 when we got home and my whole body was aching. I think it was b/c I was tense the whole day, trying to get all my business taken care of in time. Anyway, yesterday was a W3/R1 for 40 min day and I was too tired and achy to do it when I got home. NOTE: Remember next time to do your exercise before you go on an all day long excursion into town.
2. Stayed up an active most of the day
As I said, I did a lot of errands in town. Oh yeah, and I almost forgot. I got up at 5:30 in the morning to go for a mile stroll yesterday with my sister. We didn't walk fast at all. But I was up and moving (which is a big deal, for me at 5:30 in the morning ).
