It's that time of the year again! Time for the roads to become cluttered with cars. The jetways to be busy with planes full of passangers. And time for the air to become even more polluted. But it comes to the one time of the year that no ones seems to care about the rising costs of living and the falling economy.
(Aren't I just full of happy thoughts today. :mrgreen: )

Anyhoo, I have been away from posting for the last couple days. In fact, I haven't really posted on any of the boards that I am a part of. Haven't really had anything to say, personally or in general. So I best keep myself out of trouble. :mrgreen:
I have to be honest with myself and to the board right now. I am not looking for false encouragement, or a pat on my back or a "it's ok, you'll do better next time." I am not looking for anything like that at all. This past week I lost my appitite in general. i'm not sure why, but I couldn't bring myself to eat. And when I did, it was because dh put something down in front of me. Tonight I should be getting my next order of MF with foods I know I like. (yummy hot cocoa) So I will be travelling to CA with MF meals. I have already told my mom that I would be bringing them so that she is aware. Being off the plan this past week really put into perspective what I want to accomplish with MF. Thursday I was able to buy a new pair of 16 jeans, and Sunday I was so bloated and fat that I couldn't zip them up very well.
I still believe in the product, and I know that it will work for me. I just need to retrain myself and be more disciplined. Tomorrow starts a new day, and when I get up tomorrow morning I know that I will have a hot cocoa to enjoy on my drive to work.
Again, this is me being honest with myself and to those on the board. I am rather upset that I just lost sight of my goal and so quickly.

It is easier to be on program during a vacation than to be off program and try to get back on after vacation. I did it both ways so I know :? . You will be surprized how easy it is to stay on program. Do you have ready to drinks? I hope so :mrgreen:

good luck and have fun with mom.

SU-WEET!!! I took my math final last night, and somehow I was able to get a 95% on the test. Giving me a final grade of 93% total for the class. I was SHOCKED that I did that well. (That was another thing that I was stresing about.) But that is out of the way. Only 3 weeks left for my english class and then I get to relax while dh goes through ALS school. I might take a history class just to knock out some units for my AA.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

So, today is the day after thanksgiving and I couldn't wait to tell you guys of a NSV. Today we were shopping at Lane bryant, I was looking for some new bra's and 14 petite's for my mom. She's a shorty at 5 foot nutin and shrinking! Today they were having the buy one get one free sale and I had my two items and I found a pair of work slacks for my mom but they only had 1! pair! So she let me go and get something else and I picked up a pair of 14 black trousers. I went and tried them on knowing that I was already a 16, but I wanted to see how far I had to go to wear them. I was shocked :shock: that they fit, and fit well :o . I will have to get them altered if I want to wear them for more than a month... :lol: But I was SO excited. My first pair of 14's since I found out I was preggie!!!

I just had to log on at my mom's house to share my happiness. Hope everyone had a great T-day!!!

ok. I am back at home now. Travelling was very stressful. DD was a pain in the airport, but I guess that it was better to be there then driving alone for 6 hours. (I forgot my meds in AZ so travelling was THAT much more stressful and dealing with DD. I found out that Seroquel 100 mg is $6/pill. I didn't have $180 for another supply, so I went med-less.) I was completely off plan over thanksgiving. I ate very small portions but there was so many carbs and fat in those 3 days to last me a week... maybe two. The only good thing that came from travelling was seeing the family and buying size 14 pants. 8)
Sunday I was back on plan and lost 2.2 pounds. I got that cheat out of my system and now it's time to lose this weight once and for all. Right now I am in a different mind set. I have seen my progress and then what the week long off plan did to me, so now everything is a little bit more realistic as to how my body feels along with how I am calculating things out mentally.
DH was too funny yesterday. I called myself fat from my trip and he said I can't call myself fat anymore since I'm on MF. LOL. He said that I can't steal his line. (The military called him overweight for his height. They didn't take into account how much muscle he has, just his total weight...So now he calls himself fat....)
Anyhoo, I'm back and to stay.
