TOM is evil. But don't let him have that power over you. When you get the desire to binge, stop and have a hot cup of tea or whatever and see if you can get it to pass. Acknowledge the cause of the cravings and it might help.

(I always laugh when I write posts about TOM because that is one of my son's names LOL!)

You must hate the form it has taken on! I always loved the name "Thomas". Who knew TOM would ever come to mean THAT?

[Jelbelle]

I hate being sick!! It's throwing me all out of whack =( I hoped I'd feel better this morning, but no! I feel worse >_<

[PinkHoodie]

Yesterday was great! Came in under my calories and that was with a Frozen Yogurt...but its okay. Today is shaping up to being even better! Wohooo! Keep going everyone!!!!!

Welcome, Matt!

Eliana: I know times are tough right now, and I'm the same way with perfection. I think it's my OCD; if I don't have a completely on plan day I consider it ruined and I get very discouraged. I've been taking it one day at a time, writing out my plan and sticking to it. If you have Halloween candy around, allow yourself one piece every other day and incorporate it into your plan.. hide the rest! Another Chickie posted that they're giving out Halloween pencils and stickers instead of candy.. why not try that?

Jelbelle: Feel better! Drink lots of fluids and remember to eat.. don't skip meals, just eat light!

Pink: I'm SO proud of you! I'm happy you're happy

I was on campus all day yesterday! I packed lunch, dinner, and several snacks so I wouldn't be tempted to buy anything in the cafeteria or vending machines. It worked! BF & I are trying to save as much as we can so we're cutting out unnecessary spending as well.. so that's extra incentive not to go and buy over-priced junk Got a lot of walking in too!

I'm down 12.4 pounds since September 17, 24.3 total! Happy dance, anyone?

Time to read and write a paper for my lit class then head to Brooklyn. Catch up with everyone later!

I'm doing well. I am so proud of myself. Today has been one of my happiest days in a while because I had a great doctors visit. He said I made his day because I am doing so well. My blood pressure has gone down, my weight has gone down...I am on my way to being healthy!! What he doesn't know is that he made my day by telling me that...woohoo!!!

[Eliana]

Phew! So far so good! I came home, had a handful of almonds and went out to work in the yard. Three hours later I am ready for dinner and I haven't been tempted by anything! I think I see a smilie in my future.

[skygirl]

Still on plan. Did a weight lifting workout today. I'm still sick, so I didn't feel great physically while doing it, but I felt really good that I got it done.

Yesterday was under my calories as well as today. I also did a nice run last night and have done a lot of walking today. Tomorrow will be a test, but I am going to handle it no sweat! I have a meetup group thing that I organize and we have a social gathering at a bar once a month. I'm not going to drink and while I will eat dinner there, I will eat something healthy like the grilled salmon. No fries for me! I'll try to leave a bit early as tomorrow night is also a scheduled run day for me. A nice run before bed would be great

[Jelbelle]

Awesome day even though my sinuses are still pretty horrible, exceeded my daily exercise and water intake, =) right on!

[AngelicLyna]

YAY Eliana and Pinkhoodie!


With TOM and a sinus flu, I'm glad to announce that I stayed on plan today, it took everything I had within me to stay on plan with both eating and exercise. I sooo didn't feel like moving today but I did it! I could use a nice big bowl of chicken soup with potatoes and carrots tomorrow. I really hate it when it gets cold.

Jelbelle, I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. Hope it passes quickly.

w00h00!!!!! I knew you could do it!

Stephy, your results are so impressive! Great motivation for me to keep going.

Vivian, nice collection of smileys you've got there! I goto the doc's today and I'm not dreading it. Hope to get clearance to start workouts again. I'm actually missing working out, who knew? LOL

Ok enough of the germs around here skygirl. Lose the ickies. Nice job staying on plan when you aren't feeling well.

Angelic, you definitely earned that smiley

Hi Matt, your results have left me speechless.

These crazy work hours are making me tired but I'm sticking with it and am still on plan. I think I'm becoming addicted to smiley faces?! LOL

OH!!!! I forgot to mention I'm down another pound

[PinkHoodie]

Good job all you!!! I am still on plan but feeling frustrated. I have been at the same weight for about a month and a half now...I cannot seem to shake it! I have tried changing up what I eat and I have tried changing my exercise around a bit...I am just worried that even if I keep going I am going to be here for another month...and then it will just start getting annoying!!! I will be on today though!
