NYNY, week 1 - Joyce

Hehehehe, gonna be a long day ... just posted this to a different newsgroup. Have
quickly cancelled it, am hoping it works (or I'll just be very embarrassed for a
bit).

Sorry this is so incredibly late, I swear I have been pushed to the limits this
week ... too much to squeeze into too little time, leaving no time to keep up with
the newsgroup, other than reading.

Last Friday's visit to Mr. Eeeeeeeeeeevillllllllllll wasn't so bad ... I found him
to be rather nice, actually. grin He spit out a new number for me finally,
well actually a new averaged number - but the entire week hovered within a few
ounces either way. The results? 131.4, a drop of 0.8 pounds.

This week has been a goofy week for eating, the week-end was impossible to stay on
program (and I am not exagerating). Saturday was our trip to my sons college for
his 50 inning marathon baseball game. We had a wonderful time, lots of much
needed fun and laughter. We were stuck at the field, no exercise opportunities
unless you count a few trips around campus trying to find a potty. Problem being,
it is an extremely small campus, emcompassing MAYBE a full 2 blocks (that might
even be a stretch). Food was served, we had huge choices ... hot dog, hamburgers,
brats ... fritos or potato chips ... and for desert, snickers or hershey with
almonds. Oh, drink choices ... mountain dew or coke ... no diet at all, no water.
I decided to just go with it, eat whatever the he** I wanted and worry about it
when we got back home. Monday found every one of my flex points gone already and
a few more. sigh

As of last night, after doubling up on the exercise routine daily and watching
carefully what food was prepared at home ... I am back in the positive column.
Activity points were creatively applied back to days where needed, as well as
unused daily food points. I really do prefer the old method of accounting
(winning points). It helps ME to stay accountable and not give up. If I had
totally stuck with the flex thinking, it would have been too easy to just blow the
entire week off, once seeing that negative number pop up. The winning points
system makes me work, allows me to reason that a few days of diligence CAN get you
right back on track. Just the way my goofy mind works anyway. g

Hope everyone is having a great week. I'm heading down to the treadmill again,
then onto my marathon cooking day. Hub brought in a huge bag of green peppers
from the farmstand, last of the season. This morning will find me cooking up a
bundle of stuffed peppers (low point of course) and freezing for future meals.
Also have to get tomorrow nights dinner going as I will have no electricity for
the day ... am changing the old fuse box system over to circuit breakers. I hope
all goes well, is too cold to go without power for heat for an extended period of
time.

Well hot diggity, Joyce. Still losing. I'm just as impressed with
being able to stay awake through a 50-inning baseball game.

Prairie Roots

Down again, huh. Seems that MAINTENANCE is a foreign word to you! (G)

But it was modest so no problem.

And as you know life or long baseball games happen. So sweat it.

And as for a long day - yes, as I opened your message, my tickler
program popped up and reminded me that REAL ESTATE TAXES are due at
end of month - YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And you posted last week's just in time for you to jump on the scale
again tomorrow. Have a good one........

Good work Joyce, both on the loss and sitting through the 50 inning game.
My grandmother would have been there, baseball is one of her favorite
sports, she doesn't miss a game on tv!

Joyce. You did a great job of managing your week.

things on Some days as long as I eat low points on Other days

Way to "maintain" Joyce! You're fading away to a shadow here I think
you handled the game the best you could under the circumstances. It's all
about balancing out the good with the bad, over days or weeks, and I think
you've got the hang of it.

I posted a reply on the other group, so it did not get cancelled. Don't

needed fun and laughter. We were stuck at the field, no exercise
opportunities
unless you count a few trips around campus trying to find a potty.
Problem being,
it is an extremely small campus, emcompassing MAYBE a full 2 blocks (that
might
even be a stretch). Food was served, we had huge choices ... hot dog,
hamburgers,
brats ... fritos or potato chips ... and for desert, snickers or hershey
with
almonds. Oh, drink choices ... mountain dew or coke ... no diet at all,
no water.
I decided to just go with it, eat whatever the he** I wanted and worry
about it
when we got back home. Monday found every one of my flex points gone
already and
a few more. sigh

As of last night, after doubling up on the exercise routine daily and
watching
carefully what food was prepared at home ... I am back in the positive
column.
Activity points were creatively applied back to days where needed, as well
as
unused daily food points. I really do prefer the old method of accounting
(winning points). It helps ME to stay accountable and not give up. If I
had
totally stuck with the flex thinking, it would have been too easy to just
blow the
entire week off, once seeing that negative number pop up. The winning
points
system makes me work, allows me to reason that a few days of diligence CAN
get you
right back on track. Just the way my goofy mind works anyway. g

Hope everyone is having a great week. I'm heading down to the treadmill
again,
then onto my marathon cooking day. Hub brought in a huge bag of green
peppers
from the farmstand, last of the season. This morning will find me cooking
up a
bundle of stuffed peppers (low point of course) and freezing for future
meals.
Also have to get tomorrow nights dinner going as I will have no
electricity for
the day ... am changing the old fuse box system over to circuit breakers.
I hope
all goes well, is too cold to go without power for heat for an extended
period of
time.
