I'm more consistent with this than probably anything else in my life right now. There is a reason for it.... I'm forced to take a lunch break every day and if I don't go work out.....I find myself shopping or eating in restaurants. So I spend money or gain weight if I don't go to the gym at lunch. So blessed to be downtown, I'm surrounded by those three options and I choose the healthier of them. <BR> Yesterday I was in a wei... Fri, 8 Mar 2013 13:32:24 EST What Happened? http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=5124777 Was it the beer on Friday night? The lazy Sunday bloody marys with my hubby? or the occasional candy bar while watching the movie? No, it was the potlucks at work...or maybe those lunches out with my coworkers? Perhaps the candy dish at Lisa's desk...or perhaps the extra glass of wine and appetizers with my sister on weekends? maybe it was the carmaled apples at the pumpkin patch? <BR> I don't know, but according to what the scale said this morning....whatever I have been doing is the worst i... Mon, 5 Nov 2012 11:26:01 EST Emotional Eating SUCKS http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=4927924 ''Emotional eating is the act of eating in response to an emotional trigger. When a person is depressed or sad because of an event and responds by overeating, or when a person is lonely and tries to fill an emotional void with food, the person is suffering from emotional eating.'' <BR> <BR> "Emotional eating is an attempt to manage mood with food." <BR> <BR> I have been doing great all month, even finally started to lose weight, and today I hit a brick wall so hard my eyes are watering. My... Fri, 15 Jun 2012 14:58:21 EST .....and when the mind is backed by will....that's when miracles happen. http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=4896575 There was a blueberry cheesecake, a deep dish apple pie, a tall frosted carrot cake, and a chocolate chip mud pie. I didn't have to go to the party, but I went anyway. There were four Birthday's in the office this month, and as usual...my company over delivered on the celebrations of them. <em>236</em> The deserts were from a specialty dessert shop, of course we only get the best, and there was more than enough to go around. I was about to dish up a "sliver" of each...but I waited just a mom...

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:47:22 EST A VERY physical battle with cookies. http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=4841423 I don't buy cookies, I don't make cookies, I don't even take the free samples of cookies that I can smell at the bakery when I'm buying groceries. However, there is something about the cookies at work that sit outside my office that call my name. <BR> It's always the person that doesn't eat them that brings them in, God bless them. They think they are being kind, that we all need some cookies to make the day better. The gal that brought them today literally sang out "I brought cookies for ev... Wed, 18 Apr 2012 18:39:22 EST
