I know, easier said than done. Soooooo, what's your plan for this week? ;) The menu idea is a good one. It's worked for me in the past. It worked so well that I can now look at what I have in the freezer/fridge and plan my menu for the day, down to the recipes I'll want to use. I can't give you suggestions for the exercise dealy because I think everyone is having issues with that ... even had a few folks at my Weight Watchers meeting say the same thing about this past week. I guess everyone's trying to get back to their routine now that all the holidays are officially over and school is back in session. So let's just commit to trying to move more this week. :)Mrs. Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00027610292664398035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001785584149111016.post-33151976599813521362012-01-16T06:04:07.031-07:002012-01-16T06:04:07.031-07:00I love books too, I wish I could make more time fo...I love books too, I wish I could make more time for reading! I'm drawn to bookstores where I can peruse all sorts of genres & topics yet I rarely make purchases. Mainly cause I have a Kindle & rather get my books on that so I can read anytime, anywhere using my Kindle app on my iPhone. It's pretty awesome! It's great to see you have a plan to get back into things, the time to lose is now! You don't want this fmgsining to continue, you can do it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17792036091186754290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001785584149111016.post-60639100969706801132012-01-14T13:59:00.281-07:002012-01-14T13:59:00.281-07:00I'm sorry I haven't checked in on you this...I'm sorry I haven't checked in on you this week, but things have been crazy! Cooper is back in the hospital because she can't keep her formula down so I've been helping with all that.<br /><br />As for your gain, lets get you back on track this week. I'm glad you have someone to work with. Hopefully that will help you stay committed to the workout schedule. If you can meal plan again this week I think that would be helpful,but give yourself something special each day that has great flavor so you feel satisfied.~Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00246761532922938329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001785584149111016.post-74287972214231584282012-01-14T09:51:35.326-07:002012-01-14T09:51:35.326-07:00Sorry about the gain....the carbs hae been screami...Sorry about the gain....the carbs hae been screamimg out to me this week, too.

Like I was saying on my blog: I hope to at least get better with the reading of real books. <br />Hope you will be more motivated this coming week. And see some success on the scale too.Chinagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02281605626148971556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001785584149111016.post-11567672427824776012012-01-14T04:10:38.427-07:002012-01-14T04:10:38.427-07:00Awe, sorry your week was rough.

Readi...I'm with you on the self esteem thing... Reading a book won't get you there. I like esteem exercises - particularly things that push you beyond your "limits." But reading the first 10 days in 100 days of weight loss seemed kind of pointless. Particularly since this isn't my first 100 days. It did deal with of a lot of things that many of us talk about here in our blogs... things like making plans. Telling ourselves we can do it. Setting up a support system. Setting up an accountability system. However, it's not really engaging if you've already been completing those things before you started reading the book. It's getting past the "surface" insightfulness finally and beginning to address personal interaction with food. <br /><br />I'm jealous of your book room. That sounds like a magical place. :) I've been selling my books slowly. It feels like I'm killing parts of my soul when I let them go. But I can buy them again. I can get them on Kindle and never have to move them from one apartment to another again. Even though, the physical act of HOLDING the book, flipping the pages, smelling the ink will never really be replaced. <br /><br />P.S. JORDAN!!!! Lava Hot Springs is one of my favorite places on earth. It's super exciting to know that someone out there has been! Invisible connecting thread through our lives!!! :)Nanette N. https://www.blogger.com/profile/16624649291231202060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001785584149111016.post-23072892764181993722012-01-13T20:45:41.791-07:002012-01-13T20:45:41.791-07:00I'm a bona fide bibliophile, and have been sin...I'm a bona fide bibliophile, and have been since cihldhood. English was always my fave subject, too. I own thousands of books. Literally. I have a one bedroom apartment..just for my books. No one lives there..I just keep my books there.<br /><br />I'm now using readers, as I really need to whittle down my possessions, as one of my goals as I slip into my dotage, is to simplify live in smaller digs. Means my books acquired over decades must go. THOUSANDS. I will keep some reference and rare books, and my collection of sci-fi Richard Powers covers...and art books. But most will have to go. No room in my smaller, future living space. Retirement is not that far away, and old folks can't keep up with too much stuff, ya know? ; )<br /><br />thank god I can have thousands of books in "the cloud".Princess Dieter aka Mirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121450857817115011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001785584149111016.post-79579463521841216382012-01-13T20:42:32.343-07:002012-01-13T20:42:32.343-07:00Gillian Riley talks about self-esteem, and I agree...Gillian Riley talks about self-esteem, and I agree with her. It's not this fuzzy emo thing. Self-esteem comes from ACHIEVING something--we do something worthy, hard, challenging and it gives us that sense of accomplishment and self-esteem. She's on it. We can't TALK ourselves into self-esteem. WE BECOME it..we do it...act by act, decision by decision, victory by victory.<br /><br />As someone who loathed herself for a good portion of her life, I do note that the times I did hard things and did them WELL...I liked myself. I felt..proud of myself. Whether it was choosing to learn to like someone initially off-putting and hateful, tutoring, charity work, writing good stories or poems, losing weight, sticking with exercise, maintaining a great marriage, forgiving when I didn't want to, studying for degrees, doing a good job at work. When I put the effort and DID IT, that's when my self-esteem was high. When I self-indulged, self esteem was low. <br /><br />Something about discipline and self-sacrifice and working on something HARD...it seems to really make us feel better about ourselves, I guess. <br /><br />Anyway, hope this week is better for you. Let's say NO to the crap...and feel victorious, yes? Oh, and the linky is now up. So add your update. :DPrincess Dieter aka Mirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121450857817115011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001785584149111016.post-66299965594777840672012-01-13T19:32:45.881-07:002012-01-13T19:32:45.881-07:00Hey, I use the PINK perfume too!

I stayed there for a night and loved, loved, loved it! Then in 2008 when I lived in Oregon for a while, I stopped there on my way to Montana. I'd go back in a heartbeat. I mean, if I was anywhere in Idaho I'd try to go back. It's that great! A treasure of SE Idaho!Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05712893867575841432noreply@blogger.com
