My visit to Candyland…
rn
Happy Tuesday Friends…
rn
Well, I started off yesterday with wonderful intentions…And in restrospect, I would say I maintained about a 75% effort most of the day…Getting back on track…
rn
I did get up early yesterday for my run…However, I walked instead of ran…
rn
I did go for my walk at lunch…However, I only made it one time around the park, instead of three, due to time constraints brought on by what I will refer to as the “ATM” incident…
rn
I did work out last night…However, the air conditioner was brokend in the clubhouse, so I only did 15 minutes on the elliptical instead of 30…I DID do a full weight circuit tho…
rn
And then…I had dinner. Not too bad. NOT great. I did log it all in my journal…
rn
And then, for reasons I just can’t fathom, I found myself on the computer, eating a package of Pop Rocks and Fun Dip (Some left over 80’s party candy)…The Fun Dip was kinda gross. But I kept eating it…The Pop Rocks were great. I loved them. So did my dogs!!! (Please dont call PETA on me, I swear the loved them!!) 
rn
So with my little trip to CandyLand, I was over by about 150 calories for my day…
rn
So my DAY ONE back OP was a bit less then stellar…However, I did make a GREAT attempt…Yesterday just turned out a little rougher then I expected…Got some disturbing news in regards to my husbands health (I am trying to hold my OCD at bay, but it is very very difficult) I had a difference of oppinion with a good friend…All and all, just not a great night…
rn
So my lesson learned???
rn
I am still at a large large risk of eating when I am stressed. Although, I have come far with this, and do it rarely, it does rear its ugly head from time to time…There was no other reason for any of my actions yesterday except that I had a bad day and was stressed…
rn
Buddies…This is NO excuse…Really…
rn
So I am shaking it off. I got up again this morning and RAN not walked the dog…
rn
I will walk my full three laps today at lunch…
rn
And I will do 30 minutes on my elliptical regardless of temperature…
rn
There. That is my confession…Bless me Father for I have sinned! (Sorry, flashback to Catholic School!)
rn
I feel better already…
rn
OKAY. Just a reminder. My first walk is this Saturday…The Komen Race for the Cure. Breast Cancer 5K walk…Send a warm thought my way at about 8 a.m. buddies! I will of course, post pictures when done! My first walk of the season and I am MOST excited!!! YAY!
rn
Have a great day all!!!!
Good Luck on the 5K.. they are alot of fun!
You are doing great and good luck with the 5k.
Good Luck on Saturday. I loved your party pictures they were Great. Looked like lots of fun!!!
aw good luck with the walk.
Dawnie, you need to throw that candy in the trash, immediately!!! Better yet, dump it down the disposal, if you have one!
Hey, you didn’t do too bad. Only 150 cals over. That’s within reason. It could have been a lot worse.
What’s up with Steve? BTW…is he losing weight? I checked out your pics yesterday and he looked much thinner!
Aw Dawnie, I have come to terms with the reality that stress/emotional eating will always be part of my life. As long as it’s a rare trip, you can get back up. I know the difference between occasional (comes in the way of our weight loss effort in a week) as opposed to all the time (what I’ve been going through = scale climbing steadely with each weigh in = SCARY!!). You’ve got the dicipline to be on track today and that’s great. I sure hope Steve’s health is something that’s just a trip in the road……
Actually 150 isn’t bad, you will work that off real quick! You are making an effort, and you will get back into it. Shoot, I’m sure I went over more than that on Sunday!
You are doing great, Dawnie!
Regarding your hubby’s health. I know 1st hand how hard it can be not to dwell on. I hope it isn’t anything major and if it is that he will do what needs to be done to beat it.
Stay strong and don’t sweat the extra calories yesterday!

Dawnie,
you should be so proud of yourself. I have been eager to ask you how do you find out about these walks? I used to do the Prevent Child Abuse VT walk but always miss the dates. I also would love to do the cancer walk. Go girl!
In answer to Steph’s question, you can visit this link to find walks/runs in your area!

Good luck on the walk! Someday I’d love to do something like that!
I am sorry to hear you had a rough day Dawnie. I have been going through some rough patches myself, but I am trying to stay optimistic and stress-free to the best of my ability. I like you, obsess sometimes, I worry myself sick and I am trying to curb that.
I’m sorry to hear that Steve is not doing well, healthwise. I will pray for him Dawnie.
Now about your trip to candylane, on this end, it doesn’t sound anywhere as serious as you think it is. The important thing is that you are almost back to being on track. So keep your head up girl, you’ve come a long way, no need to pay any mind to any pesky self-criticism–you’re the bombdiggidy!!
BTW— I LOVE THE PICTURES, thanks for sharing!
I love Fun-Dip, actually I like the stick more than the dip.
Don’t worry about the off day, I’m sure you will be back to full steam in no time flat!
I hope things are okay with your husbands health issues!
Have a good day!
I hope that all goes well with your husbands’ health. Good luck in the race!
Wow.. look at the busy life you have.. I hope hubby feels better and also I will not call PETA
I love your new pic! You look awesome! and congrats on losing so much weight your doing great! keep up the hard work!
