Who fell off the wagon?

This makes me feel so much better about myself - i have been beating myself up about my eating habits and it's SOOO nice to hear that I'm not the only one falling off & getting run over by the wagon! It's been a trying month for me - Thanksgiving on i haven't had much self control when it comes to eating & then I pulled my groin muscle and took 3 days off last week-which made me feel even worse about myself. It's nice to know that we aren't alone in this battle!
 
<I fell off the wagon Thanksgiving weekend and never got back on it. Melissa>

ME TOO and I feel like such a cow! I have missed my workouts almost 3 weeks straight and I'd like to blame it on Christmas and "Aunt Flo" visiting over the holidays, but I just didn't make the time. I worked out Tuesday night, am soooo sore today, but will do cardio again tonight. I'm kicking myself because it's harder to keep up when you've let yourself go! I AM back on the wagon now.

You all make me laugh and feel so much better...I am in good company!

The wagon ditched me mid-December but I managed to catch it and hang on for a week. I worked out like crazy and ate well. Then I kept baking and baking and eventually started eating and eating. Those poor neighbors of mine never even got their goodies! I don't think they'll understand if I tell them the fudge was shipped out via wagon express.

But I see the tracks ahead - some of you must've jumped back on and are trying to slow it down for me!

Funny post - I think I'll read it throughout the day, just to make sure the wagon stays in sight!
 
Ok, I feel so much better. I fell off the wagon 2 weeks and have been stuck under it ever since! On the other hand, I've been keeping up my workouts. Thank God! I'm afraid to really look at myself and have been wearing yoga pants. I keep telling myself I'll get back on track. I know I will, after I have eaten every last tasty morsel! LOL

Oh, you guys are SOOOOOO worth a good laugh. I am so happy I decided to LURK here today! LOL. Me? I'm off the wagon, have been for over a full week. At first, it was just my eating and I kept my workouts strong, but this week........NOTHIN', BABY! Nothin' at all! Darn yoga pants and sweats are TOO forgiving. Need to put the ol' jeans back on just to make sure I'm not the size of a blimp!

I have, however, been steady with my water intake....for whatever THAT is worth! LOL

OK.............but I'm getting excited to meet you all on the wagon again, when I'm good and ready...which is Monday. New Year's Day. Starting a brand new rotation with P90X and lots of ladies from the boards.

HERE'S TO THE WAGON MEETING! HIP HIP HORRAY! (lol)

You guys are hilarious! I'm with the majority here... what with not being able to work out for about 3 months due to injuries... & not eating clean (well, just eating whatever the heck I wanted really) since about Thanksgiving, I think I broke the wagon & I'm now riding along in a big old DUMP TRUCK!

:p

Elastic is not your friend! }(

I'm getting a little concerned about what's going to happen when we're all back on that wagon again. We are going to need more than those Clydesdale horses to get us going, ladies! ;)

I am right with you!!! ugh. I keep telling myself today is the day to get back on track. I've been working out but my eating is out of control. Tomorrow we are going to the movies with the kids do I hope I can stay away from the milk duds and popcorn. :-(
 
Oh, believe me it's easy to see why my IL's are both overweight!! I have such a hard time going to their house!! My MIL makes a ton of goodies for the holidays & she sent too much home w/ us!! She started w/ a breakfast of her homemade caramel rolls/ tea ring (I took my oatmeal at least for breakfast!), but I did indulge on some of the chocolate goodies!! :p

Good luck getting back on track!! I had the pleasure of meeting Susan (singing_goddess from our beloved forums) for lunch today!!!
 
I was asked politely to not ride the wagon anymore considering the shear weight of me in the wagon was causing it to continuosly pull to one side...yeah wagons & me...not a good combo.

I have to say that I have been spending the past 2 months beating myself up over my many failed wagon riding attempts, and then I came across this post and I suddenly felt like I wasn't alone. That there were others like me, asked to leave the wagons before we all were riding lopsided and circling the world to the left!

I thought the early November arrival of my new Cathe dvds would force me back on the wagon with a rejuventated spirit; however, much to my shock and awe I managed to achieve yet a new low. I sat in my workout clothes, in my workout room, watching my new Cathe dvd, while eating an entire box of organic mac-n-cheese! (please note that the organic-ness does not make it better for you)

I made another attempt to get back on the wagon when I reenlisted in weight watchers after having been discharged as a vet 5 years prior. I knew things were heading in the wrong direction when at a recent meeting the leader started describing in detail all the holiday treats we were about to encounter. I of course felt compelled to ask her why she insisted on talking dirty to us like she was...yeah it's a sad, sad state of affairs in my house.

I have gained weight, and lost any suggestion of the muscle-tone I had before before me wagon-riding license was revoked. So here I sit, with a wagon parked in the driveway, and I like many, many, many of us have resigned to once again ride my wagon on January 1st. I will reclaim my wagon-riding license and announce proudly to not only ride the wagon this year, but to stay on it, with pride enough to paint red flames on the side!

Thanks for the laughs ladies :) Happy New Year!

Oh now THAT's funny!!:7
 
Frankly, I think the wagon should have those weeble-wobble seats. You know, so we won't fall down....

:7

PS: I believe this is called "circling the wagons," ladies. Hmm, maybe that means some cowboys will be joining us soon?? Whoopee! I'm off to find my chaps!
 
Oh I feel so much better that I am not alone. I have been feeling so guilty. I am afraid to even stand on the scales to see the damage. My clothes still fit, but I feel really bloated in my gut and I just feel fatter. Also I've been dealing with injury, so my workouts are not what I'd like.

Bitch and moan....bitch and moan....

I'm going to go through some major sugar/refined flour/fat detoxing next week and it's not going to be pretty.

Maggie:eek: x( :9 :p :7
 
wish I would have been on the wagon to begin with. I think I fell off somewhere around last March. If I squint just right, I can just start to see it off in the distance coming back to get me.

You all are just hilarious!!!! I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard and felt in such good company.

To answer your question... I have wagon wheel marks across my mouth and body.

In a sugar daze last week, I ordered some thermastat long johns from Cabelas to wear under my sweats. Husband and I are going to take off running on Monday and not looking back.

:eek:
 
I've done really well, just because I don't like that "hate myself in the morning" feeling. It ain't worth it! I was a tiny bit lax in the exercise department, but nothing damaging. The wagon is parked outside and I will hop on it in the morning after eating some goodies today. I am proud to say that I did not eat like a complete fool this holiday season.
