Ooooh, feelin' groovy!!! I've been off caffeine several days now and I'm feeling good! Today I didn't need a nap! Unreal! My eyes wanted one, they're killing me. Right behind my eyes, it's just pure pain. If I take ibuprofen, it lasts 4 hours and then back to the nasty owies. I'm still stumped whether it's sinus pain or eye strain. Whatever it is, it's seriously hurtin'.

Anyway, I'm off to bed to rest these eyeballs, before they fall out my head!

Cheers!

Jen,

I'm so proud of you! Giving up caffeine has to be hard but you're hanging in there like a trooper. May I honor you?

Jen,

I need you and I hope you are okay. I realize you're probably very busy, but I'm starting to worry. Are the kids fine? DH?

Your twin, grasping at straws...

Oh, my goodness! I not only was derailed, but I went off the track, into the river, floated to the ocean and set sail around the world! I'm coming back now. I guess I took an inadvertent month off. I started doing silly things like, eating LC and having a Frappuccino as a snack. Doesn't really keep the weight off. Of course, neither do chocolate chip cookies. OY! This morning I weighed in at 180.5. I officially started back on the LC trail yesterday. BTW, I'm down from a high of 185.5. I wanted to shoot myself....or sew my mouth shut. But now I've come to terms with my slip and I'm vowing to do better. Besides, summer is the best time to LC, because the veggies are fresh and yummy!!!

Slogging back on track, slightly bruised, but determined.

OK, I'm trying to get back into journaling. I need to be accountable to myself, somewhere! I'm back on induction until 7/3. I need to get into keeping tabs again. I've been indulging in too many LC treats and snacks. I'm DONE with them! I'm going back to whole foods, that's it!!

I'll be posting my Fitday stats daily, too.

I'm so depressed. I'm currently sitting at 210#. I look back at my journal and I see the success that I had LCing and I wonder why I threw it all away. For a handful of kids' cereal? For a real Frappuccino? I know I didn't do it to get fat, but that's what has happened. I long for the day, not too long ago, when I was weighing in at 175# and was just so excited to be in a size 14 and having my husband be so proud of me he could burst. At that weight, all I looked forward to was losing even more weight. All that ended when I went on vacation. I ate s'mores with the kids, had a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch and the avalanche started.

So, once again I begin. I weigh more than I did when I first started LCing. I'm depressed, but determined....and so, I start again.

Thanks Febe, it's great to hear from you! I'm doing good, survived Halloween and am concentrating on eating LC and drinking lots of water.

Chug, chug, chug...I'm moving like the little engine that could. I know I can do this, I know how much better I feel when I do this, I know how happy I am when I do this...that is why I'm back to being LC!!

I know this sounds corny, but I'm just happy to be back on track, even if I don't lose any weight!

Right now I'm jamming my size 18 butt into my size 14 jeans....don't worry, they're stretch jeans. ROFL! When I get back down to 175, all of my stretch jeans and sweatpants go out the door. I'm only going to be wearing pants that fit and remind me of how good I look, dammit!
