Wow, that's really annoying about the luggage, I hope they found it quick! This is making me all paranoid, whenever I travel, I'll have double my stash, RTD's in the main luggage and packets in carryon just in case!

Hope you're doing well girl.. you still getting in all your steps?

Hi,
I just wanted to thank everyone for checking in on me and my airline drama.

My bag showed up today. I'm ASHAMED to no end to say I nosedived off the wagon. This nosedive involved both of my demons...yes, food AND cigarettes to celebrate my 5 months smoke-free.

I created a new position for myself...I'm with a new group that don't know me from Adam and I'm suddenly having to prove myself again. All the man-doors I kicked open early in my career...are there again and I found myself getting sent to get drinks. I just don't know if I have the strength to go through that again and I fell back into this MESS...

The slide lasted 2 days, some of it just not making good choices (or anywhere near good) while my bag was gone. I'm back on now, I didn't bum any more cigarettes off anyone.

I'm very sorry to those of you that read this that I let down...but know that you guys are what kept this slide at 2 days. Luckily, I'm on the road for a couple of more weeks, so I won't be able to weigh, so I won't see what I've done to myself! I know I set myself back a couple of weeks and re-set my usual 6-week plateau that I've had every time I re-started.

Anyway, I'm here, I'm accountable, I AM finishing the 100 days of compliance and I'm ashamed. I don't intend to remain ashamed, so I'm going to finish with this ridiculous emotional stuff and continue on with my goal to be healthy.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Looks like all of us that started the 100 day challenge fell down the slippery slope this week. Well, the good news is the money is still up for grabs right?

Don't kick yourself too much. You are accountable and you "Fessed up" even though nobody would have known any different. That is an accomplishment in itself. The important thing is to get back on plan now that you have all your supplements back and don't look back. The great thing about the past is that it is in the past right?

You certainly didn't let me down, (not that my opinion amounts to a hill of beans). I am still here rooting for you (even though I intend on winning that money). Success is not easy, but it is atainable (sp). You can do IT.

I'm so glad you're back on plan!!! It's a HUGE decision to get back on the horse and as a good friend once told me: The right decision is never the easy choice!

Sorry to hear your stuck on the road for a bit longer, I KNOW how much that sucks!!! Im home tomorrow LATE and should be home until the first week in March!

Congrats on being accountable - - we're here for you!!!!! :hug:

All i can say dede is, you have jumped on the "out of compliance" bandwagon. A lot of us got on for a second and jumped back off. At least we know that we are not alone. We are back, pulling each other up on the "compliance" bandwagon, going in the opposite direction. I also felt that i was letting some people down, as i was holding myself accountable. However, when we really look at it, hopefully anyone that would be "let down", processes it in a healthier way...more like "no one is perfect, we are all capable of faltering" and they find more strength in our ability to get back OP.

Now onto proving yourself. Did you tell anyone to go get YOUR drink? If you didn't, you SHOULD HAVE! You have the strength to get thru anything. You know that you do your job to the best of your ability. I'm sure that speaks for itself. Keep doing what you are doing. We are all doing fine. Remember, THIS IS OUR YEAR!

DeDe~ Hi girl.......I am so proud of you for holding it to 2 days. At least you didn't go 6 months like I did.

I completely understand the "ashamed" aspect. I have been so ashamed of myself, but that shame led to even more failure. Don't let that happen to you. It was 2 days.....and those 2 days are over. Aren't you glad we don't have to relive some of those days. :shock:

Anyway......I'm proud of you.

Dede..

Thinking of you.. I am so proud of you for getting right back on plan after your little slip up. Keep at it! You'll succeed, there's no doubt about it.

Hi guys,
I'm doing okay, just really busy.

I'm compliant, but as far as the exercise, I'm curtailing it a bit except what I have to do for work. I wonder if I peeved my body off by working out too much and putting my body in survival mode inadvertently with not adding an extra meal...so I'm just doing my work walking and not trying to do too much too fast, because losing 1lb a week was making me sad and thinking it wasn't worth it!

This week's objective...100oz of water a day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi D, let's finish this together!

Hiya, Deedee!! Just breezing through with a cyberhug.

:heart:

dede4wd · by **dede4wd** » February 13th, 2008, 6:02 pm

Thanks for checking in on me everyone! I'm still here, still compliant and WORKING on the water!

My new position is kicking my tail and I have a couple of people unhappy with my promotion going after me. It's been very stressful and my time is not my own!

So, I apologize in advance for anyone I've been neglecting. I pop into journals with the accuracy of a dartboard and if I'm forgetting yours, it's SO not on purpose, but sleep has turned into a treat and it's not on purpose!

Anyway, I'm off the scale until the 25th (when I get home next), so I won't have the "scale not moving" stress to add to the other stuff! I'll check in as often as I can, but don't think I'm avoiding y'all! I'm not!

DeDe

Mickeyz · by **Mickeyz** » February 13th, 2008, 6:23 pm

Hi DeDe,

No need to apologize. Everyone knows how busy you are. It is has been so long since I have said hi to you. Sounds like you are having some challenges these days but coming through them with true spirit! Good for you and good luck in your new position. Don't let the stress get the best of you.

Breeeaaath.
