Ryanne, we did have a heart-to-heart and he is completely ok with not bringing me those foods. He just wants me to feel better, and so he brings me stuff he knows I love. It's sweet, but it's killin' me lol!
We sat down and made a grocery list together and we were able to compromise on a few things (such as changing our bread to 100% whole wheat without added sugar instead of wheat bread that has HFCS in it). We made a few new changes for the whole family (we had stalled in our success at this a few months ago, and we needed to pick it back up), and I showed dh that if we are careful with our budget, we can buy more fresh fruit and veggies in season and on sale and we can slowly but surely move away from processed foods altogether. It was really neat to look down the aisle and see him flipping over spaghetti sauces, checking all the labels! So, I think we are on the right track now, and we are doing it more as a family, which is benefitting us all.
Today:
Breakfast - eggs, 1/2 of a whole wheat english muffin w/ 1 tsp butter, cofee w/ cream and splenda + half a banana
Lunch - 2 slices of whole wheat bread, all-natural deli ham, mustard, sliced tomato, cucumber, and a slice of sharp cheddar cheese
so far, so good!

Hi everyone! I've not done well the past few days due to continuing stress, but today was a little better:
Breakfast: 1 bowl of combined Fiber one and Honey Bunches of Oats cereal with milk, coffee with milk
Lunch: 1 low carb tortilla with peanut butter, Splenda and raisins and a glass of milk.
Dinner: Two servings of Taco Salad with salad mix, tomatoes, sour cream, shredded cheese, taco meat, low fat Italian dressing, 1 bowl of sugar free vanilla ice cream with sugar free chocolate syrup, coffee with milk.
Snack tonight will probably be strawberries sweetened with some sugar and sugar free strawberry gelatin, (My relative always fixes it this way).

My life has been crazy, I am happy to just have maintained. My ds has decided not to sleep at night. I am up with him all night because he is only 9 weeks old and because I don't want dd (20 months) to be up with us. This results in me walking around like the living dead. Sleep is so important for weight loss. I knew it would be a problem but it still gets disheartening. I just want to get on with it and lose this weight already.
This is a new week and I will do the best I can under the circumstances. It won't last forever. Someday his colic with be gone and the acid reflux with be controlled if not gone. I just want to do the best I can until then, losing when I can but at least not gaining! I am only 18 lbs from my prepregnancy weight. There is another 27 lbs after that but when I look at it this way, I see that I have made a lot of progress in 9 weeks as I gained 45 lbs with this pregnancy.
I am just impatient. I want to be back up running 5 miles at a time several times a week, not slogging along like some ungraceful animal. Oh well, patience is an ongoing struggle with me. Perhaps this is another way for God to work on my heart with this character flaw.
Have a great day. I am taking my kids out to Grant's Farm to enjoy this cooler weather. The temperature is supposed to stay in the low 80's which is wonderful compared the oven it has been.

Re sugar, has anybody else cut out sugar alternatives? I was eating a fair bit of artificially sweetened food when I first lost weight, and stopped on my doctor's advice when I was pregnant. I've found since then that I have much less of a sweet tooth; fruit is usually enough to satisfy me these days, where before it had to be dessert (or fake-sweetened dessert). I even love plain yogurt now; in fact I'm debating asking my mother for her old yogurt-maker.

Hello, I am new to this thread. I have not read all 920 posts.
Welcome, purnhart! And nobody is expecting you to read the whole thing!

My hubby does that too. You can always suggest that flowers would be a lovely alternative! I tried that but we've recently realized that DH has flower allergies on top of it all!  When we just must have dessert, we go out for it instead of bringing it home, and it adds up to less splurging in the end. Even if I go for the worst ice cream at Baskin Robbins (which I don't--usually the frozen yogurt is enough for me), it's still better for me than if we buy 2 litres to bring home.
Surpassingpeace, you are doing great! Hang in there! If you need a point of favorable comparison, I had only gained 9 lbs by the time I lost my baby, and it took me four months to lose it; I'm finally working on the pre-pregnancy weight. You are doing tremendously well. Also, I had stopped running altogether before the pregnancy and just started again this week. (I know not to compare myself negatively, but if a positive comparison helps you, so much the better! :D)
I am girding myself up for a week of crazy emotions (my due date was supposed to be this coming Monday). I am sure the main reason I dragged DH out for ice cream yesterday was because I was having a bad day emotionally. (Not that he minded!) DH and I both tend to self-medicate pain with food; I have yet to figure out a way to resist those urges entirely, especially when DH unwittingly enables it when we're sad. I will probably be posting in the miscarriage thread too, so I don't want to derail this one, but what do other people do regarding food urges when they're faced with grief?

Karen, have you considered that the baby might have food allergies or looked further into the causes of his reflux? Feel free to PM me, we played that game with DD and it was NOT fun. I am planning on making a baby hammock for the next baby so maybe we can avoid some of the sleepless nights.
Anyway....
Anne, I tend to just not eat when I'm emotional or grieving. Although, the last time my family lose a close friend I made a huge pan of lasagna because we used to eat it all the time together and I think I ate most of the lasagna myself 
I had a good day yesterday except that I decided I would have a bit of candy. Holy smokes! I had a bad gas stomach ache and I haven't had one of those in a couple weeks, ya know, since I cut out processed sugar. Back on the wagon today, lol.

Yesterday was the most awesome day ever - I only ate what I planned to eat, and I exercised also. Well, I prayed a lot too, and maybe that is the reason for the most awesome day, huh?
Today is going just as well. I've learned that I really like tuna w/ a small amt. of mayo and relish (I know it has sugar in it, but I only use a teaspoon or two) on Triscuits. Yummmmy! I had that, plus 1/4 of an apple (I split it with my kids at lunch) and some cucumber slices. It was so delicious, and I was so full afterward. I had an egg with 1/2 of a whole wheat english muffin, plus 1/2 a cup of plain yogurt with fresh blueberries and peaches (1/4 cup each) mixed into it. Yummmmy too! I've already had my walk, and now I'm getting packed to go see my mom and dad.
I am a hard-core emotional eater. Sad, mad, happy, deliriously happy, hostile, hurt, it does not matter one bit. Any emotions are a spring board for eating. . . but only when I let them be, which hasn't happened in a few days now. Thank you Lord!!!

Fabulous Job, Jenn!! I'm proud of you:)
Good food day here, and I even did the majority of the 30 Day Shred level one workout which always makes me feel like I'm dying a slow and painful death, lol. I'm going to start a fitness blog so I re-did my measurements today and I need to take some progress pictures. I'll get them up later on...
Ok, blog is up and running. PM me your email address for an invite :)

Anne-girl, thank you so much for the encouragement. I really appreciate it. I got some sleep last night and the world seems a bit better. I want you to know that I have wrote you down on my prayer list and I will be praying hard for you through the weekend. I wish I had these amazing words that would bring you peace and comfort but I don't. Thankfully, we have a Father in heaven that can bring you peace and comfort.
Mrs. Wifey, I am going to pm you. I understand, I fell off the sugar/food I would rather not eat wagon myself. When neither one of us has had sleep and you have one fussy baby and a toddler that needs you attention, it is easy to make bad choices. That is not an excuse just an understanding of what happened. So let's dust ourselves off and jump back on that wagon. Changin your lifestyle is so hard. It is a step by step day to day process. There are no shortcuts and the progress can be so minimal, it is disheartening. But there is progress. It will all add up to healthy lives to be lived for God and His glory.
I am excited to try the 30 day shred. I want to give it a few more weeks until my abs are healed a bit more. Do you like it? I mean beyond the slow, painful death part. Do you like it for fitness?
Jenn, I am so glad you had a good day. That is wonderful.
Today I should be able to make it to the gym. I miss the gym. I can't wait until ds is older so he can go with me. They have a great nursery but he is too young. So, I am dependant on other people's schedules. Don't get me wrong, I am so grateful they make time to care for my children but it will be great to just get ready and go.
Have a great day everyone.
Karen

I love the Shred. I had really missed hard workouts like I used to do when I was running and I never felt like I was really getting them at the gym without taking a class. It is hard when you have to work around other people's schedules. We use the gym on base which is wonderful but doesn't have childcare. It would be nice if it did because it's right across the street from our home and it might convenient. Alas, I think we are going to switch to 24 Hour Fitness so that I can utilize the child care there.
Ya know, I don't really consider it falling off the wagon. I mean it is, but I made a CONSCIOUS decision to bring that candy into the home and then to eat it... the stomach ache is really my own darn fault, lol. I'm not against the occasional "treat" but I'll definitely be less likely to have one when my stomach is going to hurt, lol.

Yippee! I finally made it running two miles straight. Now I will keep up at that distance for two weeks and then go for the 5k. Then I can really get my miles up. It was so hard to do it and I was talking myself through it out loud at the end. The lady next to me thought I was nuts.

Karen, I have had people think I was nuts before when I was climbing that last, long hill to get back home from my walk and I was quoting that scripture "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!" I know the poor lady getting out of her car got a good laugh, but then, so did I when I made it over that hill! Good job on the 2 miles - I can barely walk 2 miles without my internal whining getting out of control and making me think I am going to die.
Also, Karen, my 4th baby had colic and I couldn't put him down for the first 5 months of his life. I couldn't think straight, much less make healthy food choices. I was just glad to eat at all! I found that wearing him in a carrier really helped, and I got a lot of exercise to boot. As with all things, this too shall pass. And yes, sleep makes the world seem brighter and a much happier place, doesn't it?
I am in SC, at my mom's house and boy oh boy, it is not easy to eat well here. She and my dad are sugar freaks and have no real, healthy food in the house. It kills me because my dad is a diabetic! That's ok, though, because I brought my own food from home and I had the rest of my tuna salad on triscuits for lunch today along with a sliced apple. I did have a treat earlier, and I refuse to feel awful about it because like Ryanne, I chose to do it. I was so excited when I got a tummy ache, though - that means I am making real progress in the battle against sugar addiction! YAY!!!

Thanks Karen, that's sweet of you.
I am moderately pleased with my choices yesterday. We went downtown for Canada Day (we live in the capital, Ottawa, so it's a great place to be!); for lunch, DH had a sausage and poutine (for the unitiated, that's french fries, cheddar cheese curds, and gravy  ), and I had Subway. I even resisted commenting about DH's arteries hardening.  For dinner I did splash out a bit with a schnitzel sandwich, but that was after walking about 5 km all day. After all that, I still had energy to do some reorganizing when we got home at 8 pm. It was a great day. I think Canada Day is my favorite non-faith-based holiday.

anne-girl, so sorry to hear of your loss (miscarriage).  praying and hugs!
May the Lord comfort you and your dh at this time.
I would like to share a verse or two
Psalms 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted
And binds up their wounds."
Psa. 34:18-19 ...Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the LORD delievers him out of the all."
( I underlined the word all .)
I have been reading your post and other post and I would like for and others to read Karen's blog on April 22,2009 entitled " Mourning".
Ladies, you are doing a great job of focussing on eating right, exercising and why we eat at some times. Lord bless you all
By the way, my dad is out of ICU and will soon be leaving the hospital to go to rehab. Thanks for praying.
I have lost 5 pounds, but I need to watch eating cookies, ice cream, etc, do I need to say more?

Tell me about it! Late last night, I went on a late night eating binge that had my Mom concerned. She reminded me that I'd lost all of this weight and I need to keep it off. I ate the following: 2 slices of wheat bread, 1 Slim Fast Low Carb shake, 7 cinnamon graham crackers, 1 cup milk and who knows what else. My right side was hurting from all of that eating so fast. 
Today is a little better. I ate the following:
Breakfast: 1 bowl of cheerios with splenda, 2 tbsps. of raisins, milk and coffee with milk.
Lunch: 3 slices Chicken BBQ Pie (kind of like pizza)
Dinner: 1 cheese and bacon sandwich on low carb tortilla, with mayo, 2 slices of American cheese and 1 1/2 strips of bacon. I also had 1 cup milk and 1 bowl of sugar free vanilla ice cream with sugar free chocolate syrup, along with coffee.
I'm planning on going to bed sooner tonight, so that I'm not tempted to eat so late.
ETA that I'm eating a small apple and milk for bedtime snack.

I had a great workout last night. I used the crazy new cross trainer. It is the weird cross between a stair stepper and elliptical. It is hard! I have did some strength training. I walked out knowing I had worked.
Today my sweet husband and I are going shopping and to have lunch at Sweet Tomatoes. It is the same as Soup Plantation. I love all the incredible veggies they have for salad. There are some really high calorie/ fat traps there but if you avoid that, you can eat so well.
I am not sure who asked, but yes I do use a Moby wrap with ds. From just a few weeks after my c-section I would put him in it and walk. I also do squats with it on. It is amazing how much more work it is.
Anne-girl, I am so glad you had such a good day. That is wondeful.
MyCatSmokey, I pray you forgive yourself and move on. I used to not have a sweet tooth but with my first pregnancy this craving for cookies, cake, ice cream, etc. just kicked in and has been a problem ever since. I don't know what happened. I wasn't diabetic or anything.
Mrs. Wifey, thank you for all the encouragement and the Shred review. I am going to try it in a couple of weeks. I just want to give my abs at least 12 weeks to heal. I love workouts that make me feel like I was really pushed and worked.
I must run. DS is up and hungry. He did sleep 6 1/2 hours for a stretch last night. That is worth celebrating. Have a great day.
Karen

Oh dear! I am really crazy!
I made a major mistake!!
anne-girl = Thanks for asking for some more information!!
I got the wrong poster's name.
Correction
mamajennleigh is the correct poster's name
Her blog is called Because Of A Miracle and I was
encouraging all of us to read her writing on "Mourning" on April 22,2009
I thought Jenn handled her son and the death by suicide of a friend.
Trust others will be helped by it too.
Sorry that I really goofed
and so grateful to you anne-girlfor
pointing this out to me!!  and hugs

I noticed that Melissa has a great blog too.
I agree that truth is what should be our answer.
I read your latest writing on your blog and enjoyed it.
We sure have a lot of great writers on this post!
Yes, that means you too!

bettymackII,
Thanks for your kind words about my writing. Sometimes I get discouraged about writing, because it's so hard to fit it into my schedule, but I really feel strongly led to write, and so the blog is what becomes of those thoughts.
I had a great two days at my mom's - didn't eat as well as I wanted to, but I didn't eat as badly as I have whenever I've visited in the past - so still a VICTORY! I brought healthy food with me, and that's mostly what I ate, although I did sneak a few of my dad's sugar-free wafer thingy's. Ooh those are good. I cleaned my parent's kitchen, their bathroom, and I cleaned out their pantry and cupboards. I definitely stayed busy, and active. The baby slept really well, and my mom rewarded me with a bunch of really cute clothes.
I really have a hard time with my parents, because of their addictions, but I love them so much and the Lord really impressed upon me that it was important that I honor them, regardless of their circumstances. It felt good to do things for them, and we had a great time and talked about God a lot.
So, today, back on track. I had two slices of sugar-free, whole wheat bread spread with 1 tbsp. natural peanut butter, plain yogurt sweetened with one packet of Splenda along with peaches and blueberries mixed in for breakfast. I was in a hurry and that was the best I could do. I had actually scrambled myself an egg, but my son wanted it, so I gave it to him. For lunch, I am going to eat some tuna on triscuits (my new favorite meal thanks to Ryanne) along with a piece of fruit or cut up cucumbers.
I am really becoming attached to this thread and all of those in it! Keep on posting, I can't tell you how much it has helped me!
God Bless,
Jenn

I did better last night, in that I DID NOT have the graham crackers or any other high carb snacks, just a small glass of milk to take with my vitamins.  
As for today, I'm doing better so far:
Breakfast: 1 bowl of cereal with raisins, milk and splenda, coffee with milk.
Lunch: 1 Slim Fast Low Carb Creamy Chocolate shake, with some reddiwhip on top, 1 slice American cheese.
Snack: 2 slices American cheese, 1 cup milk.
Dinner will probably be frozen fish fillets, vegetable and/or salad and a sugar free ice cream bar. Bedtime snack will probably be an apple or light yogurt.
I realized something today. Just as my relative is putting his health and his life in jeopardy by not wearing his oxygen like he needs to, I'm doing the same thing by my overeating and binging late at night on high carb foods. I know that I need to stop doing this and I'm stopping these habits TODAY!

Purnhart, I haven't heard of that program before, but Im curious, how many calories are you getting in a day?
We don't count calories. We count how many items (4 veggies, 2 fruits, etc.) we get per day.

Well, I did somewhat okay with dinner. I did eat 4 fish fillets (frozen kind), hashbrown potato patty, both with ketchup, fiesta mixed veggies and a bowel of sugar free vanilla ice cream with sugar free chocolate syrup and redi whip. Not the best meal, but at least I wasn't eating sugar.
