Sat, 04 Feb 2012 22:54:51 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I know I haven't been on here for a while but things are going well.  Three of my friends from school and I have joined weight watchers and I'm loving it.  It's not that there's anything magical w/weight watchers, although I like the program, but it's the fact that we're ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/brseay/2012/02/04/doing-well/ The 17-day diet is on hold.  Partly b/c I got sick last night and partly b/c I am sick, sick, sick of chicken and veggies.  I am essentially going to move onto the 2nd phase w/o completing the 1st but ultimately plan to create my own hybrid.  I'm glad I ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/brseay/2012/01/19/icky-day/ Today I'm struggling but holding strong.  Again, it's b/c of a change in my routine.  Nothing major, but instead of being able to workout right after school I had to take the dog to the groomer.  I did do a quick 20 minute interval workout and hoped to hit the ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/brseay/2012/01/17/17-day-diet-day-9/ I didn't post yesterday b/c we had company but I am so proud to say that I stayed on plan!!!!  I truly cannot remember the last time that I didn't have a free day on Sunday and I'm amazed that it wasn't that tough.  I'm going to enjoy this feeling ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/brseay/2012/01/16/17-day-diet-day-7-and-8/ Being home all day was actually easier than I had thought it would be.  I like the fact that I can break my breakfast up into 2 mini-meals.  Plus, I start eating later in the day (love not having to wake up at 5:00!) which means less hunger.  I also ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/brseay/2012/01/14/17-day-diet-day-6/ Not much new to report today.  It's my rest day for exercise and it's a good thing b/c I got too busy to eat one of my snacks and I wouldn't have had any energy to workout.  I sneaked a peek at the scale this morning and saw 203.6--it was ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/brseay/2012/01/13/17-day-diet-day-5/ Today I hit my first big challenge but I'm happy to say I made it through.  We did get the big snowstorm but fortunately were able to have school.  Our secretary brought in part of a leftover double-decker frosted cookie.  I honestly could exist purely on those things if I ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/brseay/2012/01/12/17-day-diet-day-4/ Still going strong.  I have a feeling this diet is going to be fairly easy as long as I'm able to stick to my routine but as soon as I'm faced with a social situation or a change in my schedule the challenge will be there.  Fortunately our social calendar ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/brseay/2012/01/11/17-day-diet-day-3/ Day 2 and I'm still feeling good.  I am going to need to vary my protein choices b/c for the last 2 days I have literally had chicken for breakfast, lunch and supper.  Granted, I love chicken, but I think even I could get sick of that much chicken. In combination ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/brseay/2012/01/10/17-day-diet-day-2/ It has been a long time since I have followed a specific "diet" and I'm finding I like the structure of it.  To prepare last night I wrote out my menu for the day.  It's kind of like reverse journaling.  I can always change my mind about something I want ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/brseay/2012/01/09/17-day-diet-day-1/
