We're Going For 4 Days AF

Happy Day 3!!!
Beautiful day out there on the prairie, already -4C and it is supposed to reach -1C - yea!! Hey - us northerners must be sick - I think it is shirt-sleeve weather out there!!! I am going to go for a run at lunch time today to take advantage of it!

I didn't feel very well last night. I came home from my swim and felt good but couldn't seem to take off my jacket. Well, I had my heat set way low, so maybe it was cold in the house. Then I had a glass of soda and cranberry with ice, and I think it made me cold. I was chilled right through and my feet and hands were like ice - I crawled into bed and shivered and don't think I really slept all night, but remember weird dreams so i must have fallen asleep at some points. Could be a bit of withdrawl symptoms, as I have been going pretty strong for a few weeks. I feel pretty good today all things considered!

So yes - dinner suggestions!!! I need some new ideas! I feel like chicken and couscous. Or, I have some Basa fish in my freezer - maybe I will cook some of that up. I really am trying to lose some weight here, but I can't seem to avoid those 3 little pieces of mint chocolate after dinner every night. Hey - they won't hurt, will they?!?!?

Christy, lucky you!! Sometimes I sit in my back yard in the summer and plan where the pool will go, or, maybe a hot tub over there would be great for the winters, etc. Then I resign myself to the kiddie pool I've kept since my kids were little - or the sprinkler. Look like a goof, but whatever!!

Hope everyone gets through day 3 unscathed!!

Christy, we have a pool with a fridge that seems to be stocked all summer long, too. Makes things very challenging to say the least! I love couscous but no chicken tonight. I had it 4 nights in a row.

Hey Peanut! You must be feeling better if you're going for a run today, good for you! I did about 15 min of exercises this am so will need to put in 15 more this afternoon. No way can 3 little pieces of chocolate hurt. Say it isn't so.

Fish sounds good, maybe a fish chowder. Chili? I don't know, I hate cooking, too.

Yes - I am feeling much better, and it definitely WAS hormones. Aiy! I think I need to apologize to a couple of guys in my house!! I was rather pissy after work.
Hmmm..... Chili....... That just might be the ticket, as my son doesn't work tonight and has made it himself before. Ha! maybe no cooking for me at all!!!

You lucky girl peanut!!!! I wish someone would cook for me other than a restaurant!

Oh no! HB called and said he would be happy to make the chicken parmesean I was going to make last night. My son had a guest over so I made fried chicken instead...I'm having chicken again and can't even complain because he's making it!

I'm going to turn into a chicken! Christy, I wish I could go out to a restaurant! We're too broke!

Sorry, Be, couldn't resist, lol......

Ha! You're a funny girl, you know that?! Well, now we're back to not having chicken. Looks like a family meltdown while I was away at the shop. My daughter has a stomach ache, my son is at work and it's a "fend for yourself" night because my HB didn't know what to do.

Frozen pizza (with no chicken on it!) here I come!

I may have to pig out on ice cream tonight, too.

Still hanging in there and almost to the goal line. I think I'll keep going for a few more days. Weekends scare me .... but I want to do this.

[BecomingMeAtLast]

Awesome, Providence, it's great to hear someone reach their goal and set new ones!

CRAP!

Given the circumstances fo the last few days, this is really really hard.

Lord, grant me the strength.

You've got the strength, UNG, you do. Want to help me with shelley on her post? It's in the starting out section...

Sending my prayers you way, UNG. Stay strong!

Well, day 4 here. How are we all fairing? I feel great except for some &#%$^ massive cramps. I think I'm getting this thing every 2 weeks now! But I feel great overall, really good.

Yes - day 4! My first in since January. I am, of course, having horrendous sleep issues. I am so sleepy right now, I could crawl under my desk and curl up like my old cat!! And the dreams!! Wow!

Be - I suppose the frozen pizza was a nice change from chicken chicken chicken??
Christy - your chicken dinner ok? Sprouting feathers this morning, par chance?
UNG - how are you fairing up there. Things a bit more manageable for you today?

Hey Providence - weekends are hard for me too. I know my goal really is to not drink during the week when I have to get up to work the next day, so I do tend to go easy on the weekends. I just wonder why it is so hard for me to say NO on worknights, when I know I will feel like crap having to get up early the next day! I stay up way too late when I drink wine, as I don't even usually start until 10:30 at night!!

My son had to work last night, so no chili. My BF's son doesn't do a thing in the kitchen, so no food prep from him - he rather waits until I have made something, sleeping or on the computer, or will not eat at all, which I find rather frustrating and was at the base of my bitchiness the day before. Get off your ass and help out, I'm not making this stuff for me!! (I am making other "diet" food for myself these days) My basement is a disaster, what with the bathroom reno, so I simply ran away to Home Depot for a light fixture after I got home and simply didn't make any dinner at all!! ha! that'll teach 'em!

I'll get to work now. Best to everybody on day 4 today (or 5 or 3 or wherever you are!!!)

Well done Be and Peanut on crossing the Day 4 mark! I made it too, and today is day 5 ... stressful day, need to hang on in there.

UNG, hope you are doing OK, stay strong!

Everyone, how's it going? Hope you are all feeling fine and keeping going
