Sweet potato with soyrizo and Greek yogurt is just a healthier version of a baked potato with chili and sour cream.

For breakfast? Still gross. LOL

Hi everyone,

WOW so many new faces. Welcome everyone. Hi everyone else.

It's going okay over here. I haven't been disciplining properly; but I have been resting. I feel like a new and improved me since before marriage and the kids. I think it has something to do with the hubby going in to work late and getting to spend time with him in the house without the kids. Wow!!! What a beautiful experience. It was so great.

I have glasses now. That's why the headaches were so bad. That's another reason I felt so yucky before.

You guys are wonderfully inspiring with your commitment to workout and stay healthy. Especially you, Tweety.

Zoe, you are really making awesome strides in all areas. I am happy for you too.

Thanks for being such good cyber friends everyone.

I am struggling. So fearful now that I am job hunting W/O a JOB - waiting is so hard. So I am comforting myself with no-no's... sigh...

Hi Zoe,

I understand the "no-nos" struggle. I go both ways when stressed. Either I don't eat at all or I binge looking for comfort.

Hang in there, I will pray. As I recall, the place where you were working wasn't functioning safely. In fact, I think it was dangerous. So, with that understanding, I personally still think you are living healthy, my love. :redpinkhe

Didn't exercise today. Probably won't tomorrow either. Cracked my toenail on the great toe of right foot. Nice thing is that it doesn't hurt too much.

Ds1 practiced baseball. Ds2 ran with his little friends. Me the mommy sat on my patootie while gingerly guarding my little toe from anything and everything, including my klutzy self. Did I mention that poor little toe almost kicked a door-stop in place, while brain was off processing something else? Oiye, thank goodness for my cracked nail polish, I would have forgotten completely, kicked the door-stop, and been hobbling for the rest of the week. :chuckle

Dinner went well. Tuna sandwiches, with crackers and carrots for the kids. I had tuna and carrots. Dh had a weight watchers tv dinner.

Hopefully, breakfast will be oatmeal for the kids and I. I'll let you know how it turns out. My best to you all.

Hey Zoe, Thank you for the hug. And back to you girlfriend. :icon_hug:

I am tooo chicken to wear shoes for now. Good thing I'm in Southern California. I can get away with sandals for a while longer. :yeah:

Hope everyone is well. French toast ended up being for breakfast. Got the lunch made for ds1 and both kids are now at school. Ds2 wanted school lunch today. I'm off to run errands. Have a good day everyone.

Well, for accountability's sake I'm letting it be known that I'm on Day #1 of a starting over, cleansing, etc. etc. etc. I'm been doing a lot of compulsive overeating the past couple of weeks and I need to look at my "self-sabbatoge" tendancies. It's a very old tape that doesn't seem to want to erase.

Hope others are well. Typically the days after Halloween until New Years are a rough time for my compulsive overeating/self-sabbatoge.
