Free night tonight . . . dinner and a movie. Went to a Mexican restaurant I've never been to before. Very nice . . .

Movie: Skyfall. I didn't like it. Thought about walking out, but I paid for it so I stayed. Couldn't connect with the characters . . .

Back at it tomorrow and off to the gym when i wake up tomorrow. I have GOT to start doing cardio again. I'm seriously dreading this . . . I hate going through all that pain . . .

FREE NIGHT.. is on SATURDAY :P.. or so I thought.. lol

sorry you didn't like your movie.. :/

as you can prolly tell.. free night has been every night.. my mind is just not all the way in it.. :/ .. to much stuff on my mind...ugh.. but this doesn't mean YOU cannot continue to do well ..... I'll get there..

[dusk]

Free night is usually on the weekends, but i wanted to go to a movie and it ddn't start until later, so dinner and a movie it was.

Did well today . . . except on my water... the last couple of days have been horrible on my water intake. Work has been getting in the way. Tomorrow it will be better. Things will settle down tomorrow.

wanted to share...

Never, Ever Give Up. Arthur's Inspirational Transformation!...

[dusk]

Man, Lisa! That was powerful! CAn't help but cry over that one.

On that note, I lost 3.9 pounds this week, 3/4 inches off waist and 1 inch off hips. Most surprising to me, I tell you.

Spent all day at the hospital today . . . my friend who is only 54 had a triple bypass done one her . . . walking into ICU and seeing her with tubes running out of her chest from various angles . . . seeing all the bags hanging around her bed . . . watching her trying to breathe in a big enough breath only to wince in extreme pain . . . its a real eye-opener. I NEVER want to have to go through that. I never want to have someone crack open my chest cavity to work on my heart like that . . .

It would be one thing if her body just broke down and they had to go in and fix it. But she did it to herself with an unhealthy lifestyle. She told me years ago when she started having problems with reflux that she didn't care and that she'd eat whatever she wanted. But one day a couple of months ago, her legs swelled up like tree trunks and she couldn't bend her legs. Going to the doctor she found out she had developed diabetes. She had developed high blood pressure. She had almost totally clogged 3 arteries in her heart.

Watching her lying there . . . was a rude awakening . . . she did it to herself . . . she did it to herself . . .

I can relate.. seeing my mom and dad both go through this.. .. and at the time, I felt the same way... but sadly my addiction hasn't stopped me..THATS the sad part..

I am happy she made it through it all ok.. and I pray for a speedy recovery..

Diet Soda and Weight Gain

Researchers found that the diet soda drinkers had waist circumference increases of 70 percent greater than those who non-diet soda drinkers. And people who drank diet soda the most frequently -- at least two diet sodas a day -- had waist circumference increases that were 500 percent greater than people who didn't drink any diet soda, the study said.

Artificial sugar didn't produce any better results in the second study in mice. Researchers for this study found that diabetes-prone mice that were fed a diet that included aspartame for three months, had higher blood glucose levels than mice not given aspartame.

This isn't the first news illuminating diet soda's health risks. A study published earlier this year found people who drink the beverage every day have a higher stroke and heart attack risks. And UK researchers found earlier this month that sugary drinks can dull taste buds, leading consumers to crave the sweet stuff even more.

checkin in.. crazy busy this time of year.. :/ hope all is well.. we had a Birthday last week..Ms. Raini.. Happy belated sweetie!!

[dusk]

Well, i forgot to post my stats last week . . . sorry. I was spending much time with my friend in hospital and posting never really entered my consciousness.

Last week was a joke when it came to eating. I was more worried about my friend than eating. . . that is until Friday. I didn't want to get away from eating healthy, so I re-commited myself and started eating right again.

So last Monday saw a 3.5 lb gain. No worries . . . I got on the scale this morning and it's back down. Mostly water gain I suppose because the last couple of days I've been eliminating that water quite regularly.

Had girls night last night at Lisa Monet's house. Went well. I was still able to stick to my diet even though I had originally said Sat. nights would be free night. I think free nights really help to sabotage my efforts, so I'm really working hard not to cheat.

[dusk]

Yeah, me no want snow either, but it's inevitable I suppose . . . .

The scale numbers held from yesterday. Down 6.2 pounds from last week. It's so cool how the body's cells will let go of a ton of water that you've been holding onto when you stop eating chips and fast food.

Don't really have much to say except it's nice to see the numbers falling again. OH! I forgot to take my measurements! Be right back!

Have lost 1.5 inches off my waist . . . not sure what's going on with my apron, but I'm up one inch there and down one inch in my hips.

Okay . . . gotta go now. TTFN

I left the house today without eating breakfast . . . without snacks . . . and without lunch. I had to stop at hardees and get something to eat . . . got off work and caved to the taco bell crave.

I WILL be more prepared tomorrow! The doctor I saw yesterday scared the beegeebers out of me! He convinced me that I really need to get 8 hours of sleep a night instead of the 3-5 I'm now getting.

I'm a little mad at myself for doing this today, but no since in dwelling on the past . . . what's done is done. I can't undo it, I can only move forward and try to fix the damage that has already been done . . . you know . . . forgive yourself and move on type attitude . . .

Here I am! Count me in!!!

I have not got on the scales. I'm afraid the results will scare me and discourage me from even trying. But I will weigh myself either in a week or two. I know... it doesn't make sense. But when I am doing well, I want to do even better. When I'm not doing well, I just throw in the towel and eat to comfort myself.

Thanks for the reminder on the water. That was part of today's plan and I haven't even started on that yet.

We are GONNA do this!!!!
