Hey there! Yay, it's Friday! I took today off because my para did. hehe Kind of a silly excuse not to work but I'm enjoying it. My days off won't be rolling over to the next district I work for so I might as well use what I have. What did I do? I went shopping!
This week has been pretty good. I wasn't doing so well on the AP's because of my foot but it has been a lot better over the past 2 days. I have 12 AP's and set my goal for 15. There is still Saturday and Sunday left to get the last 3 in.
So far I am also on plan! Yippeeee!!! I am taking my eating a lot more seriously now. These days when I want something naughty Mike usually says, "Sure, you're on maintenance." I'm not blaming him for enabling me but it sure doesn't help.
I am working on exercising and not eating any more than 2 AP's a day that I've earned. I'm also working on identifying when I feel a binge coming on. It almost happened at the mall on Wednesday before my hair appointment. There weren't many healthy options for food and I was starving. On top of that I was emotionally upset because I couldn't find any short-sleeved shirts appropriate for work since all the stores were in "summer" mode and were selling tank tops. Yes, I was pouting. In the end I ended up buying a yogurt/granola parfait and a McDonald's medium french fry. I know the last one wasn't healthy at all but it wasn't horrible like a pint of Ben and Jerry's or a plate of Pad Thai.
I am sorry I haven't been around EP, too. A lot of things have been going on and I just haven't found the time. Mike bought us each our own PSP gaming systems on Tuesday so we've been playing a lot of video games, too!
Tonight I have all the time in the world so I'm going to go check up on all of you. :)

Starving
Oh my I don't know how anyone can go to the mall and not eat . It is so hard. i am not a shopper anymore so I really don't have that problem anymore. But I have been there and done that.
Glad that you could resist. Have a great weekend. You have been missed.
Your back on track! That's good to hear. It is really hard when those old bad habits start creeping up on you. That's what I've been dealing with lately. UUggghh. I can imagine maintenance is probably much harder than losing. It's good to hear from you!
i am sorry. i consider you to be my friend. i know that we have not ever met but I still consider you to be my friend! ((( and that IS NOT the alcohol talking!!))) ha ha ha ha ha ha i am doing well. Yes i love sex.. you know how STELLA went to Jamacia to get her groove back.. Well.. lets just say that i do not want to travel to get mine back! i feel so fat tonight. yet i know that i look gorgeous! 2542913764 -- my cell... i know that i am kinda putting you at the next level... you do not have to call... but i wanted you to know that i am definately there for you! call me if you like! i would love to put a voice with the face! love, jen
about starving and it being even harder and on being gone from ep. I always miss everyone, it helps motivate me bunches! :-) You are doing awesome again on your exercise, I think that is the key to keeping it off.
My family loves PSP too. We like the role playing games.. :-)
Hi Leanne! Glad to hear that you made some good choices this week and good for you on withstanding the mall temptations. I also try to run by the auntie anne's pretzel and cinnabon stations as quickly as I can because they smell so good. =P Anyway, a yogurt parfait and medium fries is what I would call a splurge, which is much better than a binge! Keep up the work & hope you have a great week ahead =)
Dont' worry about it. Your doing great!! I hear you on the binge eating on the weekends. I've been a culpert of that many times. Good for you on getting back into your workout routine and earning tons of AP's last week!!
I can't find the motivation myself. I hope I can steal some of yours!!
