I found this on an intuitive eating website...i think it might be good to post so here it is:

* It doesn't matter how many times you begin again. It only matters that you do so.

* Remember what will make you "truly" happy -- what brings you real happiness
(fulfilling the craving in this moment vs. sticking to your resolve & meeting your goals)

* when our emotional brain is in charge, we ignore the consequences and end up suffering later

* the more you make what you want a part of your everday life, the more it will become so routine that you won't even have to think about it!

* a written record of your behavior helps you to do better

* look how far you've come, instead of focusing on how much you have left to do

* surround yourself with those you want as mentors --> people who have already achieved what you're striving for... ask them questions... learn from them!

** Above all...TREAT YOURSELF WITH KINDNESS! **

No fair! I can't understand a thing you guys are saying. Loving this new journal already Jen. Good idea, a fresh new journal is just the way to kick start your back on track bingefree days. Ok, you are tiny like Jillian, and a little spitfire I'm sure, I bet you have your hubby shakin in his boots. Enjoy the power!

Thanks Laurely....welcome to my page and to the forum...I don't really speak Spanish anymore either...I am a French teacher...but I was just messing around.

Megan...the bano is to the left of the bar!

Me and the probie ran a mile...he is so proud of himself...as for me the new sneaks are golden and no foot pain to speak of. He is walking around saying....I ran a mile...I ran a mile...now he just has to do that 4 more times in a row. It's exhilirating to see someone start running. I feel like poo today but I was happy to run again...even just a little. We hit it again on Wednesday.

Hi Mirminator!!! I've missed u!!! how are you???

Thanks Jen- now I can get my P on- I've been holdin it & my back teeth were startin to float being I was holding it waiting for the answer, thanks for typing it in English otherwise I woulda wet myself trying to figure that out in espanol!!!!!
whew that was close....

Sorry to hear your feeling like Drek today. Way kewl on your new runners, both the sneaks & the hub, way to Jillian him, did you get in his face like she does or have to goose him along to run quicker. ROFLMAO. Hey I Just read an article on Jillian this wknd, did ya know, she's 5 ft 2 & a size 2, itty bitty thang & she is bi. I thought it was all interesting.. Meggers

Heheheh...I Jillian'ed him a little...near the end he started to grip the bar on the treaddie and I said...get your hands off, Probie! HEHEHEH....I had every intention of getting in his face but i figured it counter productive on day 1. I will have to wait til he gets whiney...today he was all enthusiastic and stuff so I did not want to crush him

She has a cool life story...weight struggles and stuff. I looooovee her kick butt attitude. I figured that she was either lesbian or bi....not surprised. She is a tiny package of whoopass...that is for sure.

S - Nature Valley apple pie granola bar
D - Amy's veggie "meatloaf" and mashed potato dinner...the meatloaf tasted like stuffing...not bad. Tossed salad.
D - 2 vegan pb cookies...mmmm

Going to lay down a bit b4 I pick up my daughter.

I got Brook running sneakers (in the appropriate size...duh...and they are freakin schweet to run in!)

Glad you will not pipi in your pantalones Meg

Jen, did you take your own advice and try the Zicam? Sorry you are feeling like poo. Can't believe you went running anyway. Trying to sweat that bug out, are you?

Wow, Jillian is tiny, just like you. Dinomite comes in small packages, that's what I've always heard.

Amy's meatloaf, didn't even know that was an option. Our Walmart has such a limited selection of Amy's meals. And they don't have the soup either. They only have two Luna bars to choose from too.

Looks like you had a great day, wishing you many repeats!

Hey Jen-
How do you eat your kiwi? I like to cut the top off & then I eat it with a spoon to get every last bit. Sure beats peeling them. I know some people eat them skin & all- helllllllllllllllllllllo thats a bit hairy!

p p in the pantaloons - haven't heard that word in a long time!

Nighty nite.

That sucks Joyce- just what the hell does your walmart have then?

I am ready for that store...I hate my shoes they give me stupid blisters! Need me some new ones pronto! I popped my blister tonight at work with alcohol, a sterile needle and then antibiotic creamed it...much more sanitary then how I usually do it, with my toe nail clipper HAHA!

Hi ladies --

Oooh so many posts...brightens my morning! I went to bed early last night.

Mama Joyce - I have to check to see if Zicam is still an option. There are so many things I can't take now. I even have to watch it with herbal teas because I cant have St. John's Wort at all. In any case, its more like a flu or something...not respiratory at all. I need something! Hhehe. DYN-O-MITE.... Amy's meatloaf and mash was ok..the meatloaf had lentils in I think...different. I see it every once in a while. I think I got it at WALLYM.

Nat -- Meatloaf is very good depending on who makes it. I don't eat the "real deal" any more but I used to make it with French onion soup mix and ground beef, bread crumbs and worcestire sauce. My mom's meatloaf was the devil...i dunno what she put in it but it gave my stepdad such heartburn they thought he was having the big one and went to the ER -- Mom's meatloaf...severe indigestion...stay away...
Apple cinnamon tea with Truvia...yummo.

Megs - I cut the ends off and and peel from end to end to get the most fruit..if you peel it around the belly you lose everything! I have not scooped yet...i like to see the purdy slices. I introduced my daughter to kiwi last nite...she split two with me and then had one more all to herself....she was asking for it again this am...

Lauren...it was a relief...hope it lasts as time goes on. You are gonna love Fleet Feet. Ewee on the blisters. Use deodorant on your feet when you run. They also have some awesome wicking socks there...expensive but worth not having blisters.

Gotta run time to teach....

Here is a really nice website I have been looking at:

http://www.selfcreation.com/happiness/8_perspective.htm

Here are my eats so far

B (4:30am): Vanilla soy yogurt with oats and dark cherries (dole brand frozen...sooo good)
S(8:30): ww pita w/refried beans
L (11:00) tossed salad w/pecans and ginger dressing

wanting a little coffee right about now....

Oh yeah Jen I think I have seen those cookies before! When you are in Atl after our amazing vegetarian meal, we are stopping at Whole foods for the most amazing fresh-baked vegan cookies you will ever put in your mouth I love kiwi too..I don't know why I never buy it...think you've just inspired me to! Ok so today I put some vasoline (I read that on a runners blog) over where my blisters were and it didn't pop up again today (remember I popped it yesterday lol) so I think the vasoline helped! Wow deodorant helps?!? The chalky white kind or clear? I do wear wicking socks now but they are 5 years old so maybe its time for some new ones! I'll see what Fleets has there! I'm excited for some new shoes...do I need to call for an appointment or can I just show up?

I have seen frozen cherries at WF...and I LOVE cherries...but are they good frozen? Do you defrost them in micro or w/ hot water?

Food looks great....I want some coffee too!! Ok have a nice day J!

Hi Lozzie --

I put them in the yogurt and oats frozen last nite. They were normal like fresh cherries this am...delish. THey are good a little nuked on pancakes.

There is a sign in sheet at Fleet Feet...you could probably call too....

I am amped to think of visiting Atlanta. It has been a long time. I WANT FRESH VEGAN COOOKKKKKIESSSSS~!

Yes -- I think your wicking socks have probably degraded by now. Any kind of deod is good. Rub it on the spots where you get blisters...when your blisters are gone or that will smart! Did I ever tell you about the time I got free muscle rub (menthol) and thought it was deodorant and put it on right after shaving? HOLY MOTHER OF OUCH! My husband was ROFLHAO...aie aie aie!

YUM!! Ok I will get me back fo sure this wknd at whole foods!!! and of course will try that on my waffles!

Alright well I'll call for exact directions Friday morning and see if I can put my name in!!

YAY!!!! We will find all kinds of fun things to do....including 'Heaven in Our Mouth' Cookies!!

Ahh ok well I will try the deodorant trick tomorrow...as blisters are getting SUPER annoying..I thought I would build up calluses on my feet and they would stop coming, but nope, they just keep on a 'comin! HOLY SHIT THAT WOULD KILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha that would be funny, in a WOW that must hurt like a bitch way!!

Jen, sure hope you find something to take to make you more comfortable. Can you take advil? That would take the edge off of feeling rotten.

I've gotten frozen cherries at Walmart before. I use them in my fruit smoothies in the summer.

Oh my gosh, putting that muscle rub on your underarms right after shaving, that must have hurt like crazy. The muscle rub I use says not to put it on after a bath or shower, well I put some put some on my husbands back when he got out of the bath before I read the label and I thought he was gonna cry like a baby.

Have a good day, get lots of fluids to flush that nasty bug out of your system, and plenty of rest too.

Thanks Joyce -- Nope no NSAIDs or any aspirin like stuff because it can cause hemorrhages. I did that last year (i got the stuff free in a race bag at a 5k I think) and it was the heat of summer...It progressively got worse and worse and worse...when I looked and saw what I had put on and then told my hubby...we were on the floor...I am so duh sometimes...mama mia that stuff hurts~

You too Joyce -- I am trying to drink as much as I can..but teachers have to hold it for long periods of time...I have to be careful...
Much love,...jen

I lLLLLLLUUUURVE Cherries!

Ok, no meds for you! Here's is my prescription. Go home, have the hubby watch the girl, take yourself a long hot bath, put your jammies on and have a hot cup of tea while sitting in front of the tv watching BL. Mama J's prescription for feeling better tomorrow! Oh, I almost forgot, here's the second part, HUGS!

Hi Jen,
Still feeling like Drek today? Sorry about that, Dr. Megs recommends some hot tea, hot bath and some JEN time while watching Jillian! Sending feeling healthy vibes your way... Your food looks good today. Frozen cherries- I never had them, just the fresh in summer I can't get enough. I even am a fan of the marachino cherries in the jar, yummy & of course I buy the ones with the stems, being I have the talent to tie the stem in a knot while in my mouth! Kewl huh?

Louise- aren't the skins fur like, or do you brush them somehow the kiwi before eating them?
