Girlie, sounds like you have your hands filled with Mr. C but I'm glad you got to express your desires for the "dating" relationship

. I hope he doesn't go too far and push you in a corner where you have to expain your definiton of "dating". His "dating" may be totally different from your "dating"

.

Sounds like your social weekend surrounded alot of eating. Mine usually does also :blush:.

Well, today is Monday; a new day. We re-saddle and ride again.

Lulu Belle · 10-29-2007, 03:41 PM

It sounds like Mr. C is not hearing what speed you want to navigate this relationship. It must be a bit frustrating.

Yep, weekends seem hard to eat on track, lets just work on making mon- friday good for starters.

beautifulme · 10-30-2007, 04:00 PM

HEllo.
My only suggestion for the eating would be to clean out your fridge and cabinets of all junk food and to carry NO cash around with you.It's the only thing that help me.I keep my cell phone and a calling card for emergencies.
Start off eating high fat,high protein for a few days to control your appetite.

BTW..Did you have a talk with Mr C?IF so,I hope that everything went o.k.

mstamika · 10-30-2007, 04:57 PM

Dropping by to encourage you in the journey. Keep your head up!

123Nkechi · 11-01-2007, 10:55 AM

Hi Everybody! I know I've been busy this week. I've been in class again and I am TIRED. I will fill you guys in later. TTFN!

Keep your energy up with some protein or something else low carb.
Have a great day.

From the Secret right?

Lulu Belle · 11-01-2007, 01:58 PM

Hi Nkechi! I will see you on the TCT thread later. ( I actually spelled that wrong in my journal. doh.)

beautifulme · 11-01-2007, 02:29 PM

HEy Darling..Just sending you some LC LOVE......

123Nkechi · 11-02-2007, 07:33 AM

Well we are in November already and the year is almost over. Time sure does fly when you are older. It seems like just a couple of months ago my niece was a new born but now she is a growing 1 year old walking around like she runs everything.

Confession Time :blush::
I haven't been feeling well this week and I think my sugar is up I never check it so I don't know for sure but I haven't felt right all week. I resisted temptation for post halloween candy and ate steak and veggies for dinner for the past 2 nights. I actually feel a little better so I am sure the extra carbs that I was ODing on were the cause. This is the reason I have been keeping Mr. C at a distance this week. With doing training classes at work and on the side, I am tired and don't feel like being bothered. I am sure he's noticed but hasn't said much. He knows I haven't been feeling well.

I started studying for my MSW licensure exam again and I plan to take the test by the end of the year. That way I will be able to work at the hospitals and do some PRN work. I am not really a clinical person but I do like working in the setting and I can do a mean assessment

. I figure if I stay busy then I won't have time to eat cake, candy, and carbolicious stuff that I don't need anyway.

I realized that I haven't been keeping up with my affirmations like I should. I really need to get back to them daily so that I can be reminded to focus on what is most important. I have decide that my theme will be FAITH(maintaining the faith go through this process). Trusting God every step of the way

.

Affirmation of the Day :
Because faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen, I will continue to be thankful to God for everything that He has done and will do in my life.

Lulu Belle · 11-03-2007, 06:42 PM

Love the new affirmation.

blessedtamekia · 11-04-2007, 06:54 AM

Hope all is well!!!!!

123Nkechi · 11-05-2007, 11:27 AM

Hello All,

Had a pretty busy weekend full of eating things that I know I shouldn't have. Went out for seafood on Friday with Mr. C and then went to his place to prepare for my class and watched a movie. On Saturday I taught a class that morning and then went out bowling and then to dinner with Mr. C and another couple later in the evening. Then had dinner again on Sunday with my mom, aunt, and one of my aunt's friends for my aunt's birthday that was last Tuesday. Needless to say, I am tired of eating out

. Which is very suprising if you really knew me but a weekend of eating heavy is not good. I ended up taking a stool softener to help me GO last night because I feel so bloated. I later discovered why this afternoon...TOM is here again.

Affirmation of the Day :

Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commands (Deuteronomy 7:9).

Lulu Belle · 11-06-2007, 10:26 AM

WOW! You had one busy weekend. You'd be exhausted starting the week. I think it's a good thing when you get bored eating out, it can only get better , right?

123Nkechi · 11-06-2007, 01:35 PM

Yeah but the bad part is that I ate out again last night for my study group. I can't afford to eat out again though so I guess I will be doing much better this week

.

blessedtamekia · 11-06-2007, 02:53 PM

Hey girlie,

Eating out is SATANIC!!!!! But having to budget does have a way of making us stay focused when it comes to eating out, doesn't it?

See,thats' why I always leave my purse at home...

123Nkechi · 11-08-2007, 12:01 PM

I need to lock up my purse, credit cards, and hide all of my change. Then maybe I will calm down. I just had a salad from Longhorn and I am so sleepy. It was not a good salad: Southern Fried Chicken Salad with Bacon Honey Mustard Dressing

. I really need to do better because I have gained

. I don't know what to do. I would blame TOM but I am in the middle of it now so my cravings should be going but they are not

. I need help - QUICK!

Lulu Belle · 11-08-2007, 01:39 PM

I hope you have a great weekend without too much food worries! I know the weekends are always hard, we'll figure out the recipe for good weekend eating some day! See you on Monday - Be good this weekend!!

123Nkechi · 11-08-2007, 01:49 PM

I will try to be good. I am supposed to babysit my niece so that will be interesting. At least I will get a lot of exercise chasing a toddler

.

Lulu Belle · 11-12-2007, 03:40 PM

Hope you had a great weekend. Anything exciting happen???

SinKittyVixen · 11-12-2007, 05:23 PM

I am trying to get back on the wagon here. Its been crazy!!

123Nkechi · 11-13-2007, 07:02 AM

Good Morning Everybody!

My long weekend was uneventful as usual. I watched movies with Mr. C on Friday night and just hung out with my Mom on Saturday afternoon. My niece and her mom spent the night with me on Saturday and were there most of the day on Sunday. Didn't do much on my day off (Veteran's Day) but go to my study group. Back on the grind today though. Trying to start the day right with a cup of coffee with cream and vanilla davincis. I need to get a salad for lunch but since the weather is changing I am in more of a soup mood. I need to check out some LC soup recipes. Any suggestions?

Affirmation of the Day :
Good things come to those who wait so I am waiting in anticipation and expectation for the best that God has for me!

jgw · 11-13-2007, 07:35 AM

Hello Nkechi,
Trying to regroup and refocus myself. How are you doing.

Trying to do the same.

blessedtamekia · 11-14-2007, 10:43 AM

Hey Girlie!!!

Stay focused!!!!!!!!!

mstamika · 11-14-2007, 01:07 PM

Hey Nkechi. Make me # 3 on the refocus group. It's hard but I know we all can do it!

I've started reading stuff from my first posts to remember what I was eating during the time I was losing which is helping me. Also even though I am still having issues with menu choices I am trying to make good choices 90% of the time and forgive myself the 10% till I can make my way back.

Thnaks for checking in and sharing in my journal.

Lulu Belle · 11-14-2007, 01:39 PM

Ummmm, soup sounds really good! Maybe refocusing would be a great goal, i just wish i could figure out how to do it....

blessedtamekia · 11-17-2007, 08:12 AM

Refocusing is a good thing. And just like lenses, refocusing doesn't just happen once. Sometimes after adjustments, re-adjustments still have to be done.

Nkechi, you were right, American Gangsta is a good movie.
