So I have not been on much at all lately.. My friends daughter who was just diagnosed with cancer was finally sent home this past week.. she is doing well.. they thought she would go home sunday before last but then she crashed after treatment.. so they kept her.. for a while longer.. I have been a bit stressed over it all and not done so well.. I am not going to flip out over it.. I know where I made mistakes.. there is no mystery... I ate like an animal.. at one point I said out loud to my friend.. " man I am stuffed" (that was at 1/3 of teh way into my burrito) well guess what friends.. I finished it off and ate the rice as well.. I would like to blame anyone for that.. but I was the one with the fork.. so there is only me. I sat down with the kids this week and told them we eat out way to much and not only is it expensive it is not good for us. I told them it is going to go back to more like it was before.. mommy is going to be cooking more and there are going to be alot of new foods to try.. everyone is going to help make the dinner menus and we are going to save money to go to Florida by not eating out so much and we are going to eat better food as well. They were bummed about the eating out less but were excited at teh idea of someday going to Florida. We eat out like two times a week.. and I told them that we are going to shoot for only twice a month.. they were fine with that till I said that counts carry out pizza.. but then they thought of florida and were back on track.. for those of you who dont know.. florida means disney world and lego land... Big stuff when you are 4 and 6. We are going in November, but we have not acutally told them that there is a date that we WILL be going. Anyway I will now have more time for FS and loggin things.. and I have told all my friends that I am back on the wagon. That I have goals so no more wed night beer and nachos.. just the beer and it has to be light and only 2 beers.. I can not keep being the pig out partner.. They are all supportive and so is my husband.. now if I can just keep on track myself everything should go well.. I know that if I fail it is all on me. I am the luckiest person I know.. I have a great group of friends and family. So sorry I have been mia.. I have been 2 parts lazy and 1 part busy. :P but mostly the lazy part that kept me away.. only occaisionly was it the busy part.

Welcome back. Glad you are doing alright. Was worried for you. we all have bad times and longer than a few days, but that you have made so many decisions for change again and goals is wonderful. You sound like you have a very supportive family and friend network, again I am sorry for your friend's daughter. Small steps and setbacks seem to be all we sometimes get, and when it rains it sometimes pours. You are back on track so that is the best to start again and put your best foot forward. Great idea on the Florida and saving money. I also eat out way to much and a goal to save for is a good idea.

Don't worry about being MIA. I do the same myself. I love my FS buddies, but hanging out on FS can take up a lot of time. You're smart to get your kids in on the better-eating-at-home plan. You can invent a low-cal pizza that should keep them happy. We make one using Flat-out wheat bread instead of thick white crusty bread and it does the trick when you gotta have pizza. Anyway, glad to see you're back on the wagon, Ceebee!

Welcome back!! Get back on the wagon and don't punish yourself for falling off, you've come pretty far and you are making an effort!
Sorry to hear about your friend's daughter! Cancer sucks! I lost my little brother to leukemia when he was a senior in high school and it was a really difficult time for my family! Tell them not to give up, and to take care of themselves during all of it too!
Sometimes I don't have the time to "play" on fs either, but I try to enter my food/weight/exercise on a daily basis! I will admit these strangers I have befriended on fs offer me some extra motivation when I need it!!
Having a trip planned will hopefully add some extra motivation, especially Florida, beaches=bathing suit and disney=walking, walking and more walking!!!
