kelli, that sounds painful! You're already on the right path by switching up what you're drinking. Huge differences can happen quickly just by cutting pop out. I've been pop free for at least 12 years. Really not a fan of the taste at all now. Take care of yourself and don't get back to running before it's time! Ligament damage takes time to heal.
aliquot, If I were you, I'd go for the peppermint tea. It's a natural energy booster! Good luck with your exam! (don't get too stressed!)
countryhomeschoolin, WTG with being so close to "normal"! Must feel good!
LNM, That's awesome that you've achieved your first mini goal
. And as for what the bootcamp ppl recommend, no one can say what your goal is except you. And really, how on earth are we supposed to know what our goal is until we get there?
I know I feel and look good at 170. Focusing on working out in different ways will likely drop me down into the 160s easy at that point. But I've met girls around my height that look fabulous at 150-155. Who the *F* knows what I should aim for?
Quillie, another "normal" BMI achievement! That's awesome! And I know how excited you must be... read on to learn why
Wendee, Welcome to this part of the 3FC world! You're more than welcome to stay for as long as you like
. Sounds like you have some good initiatives going on. The whole healthy lifestyle is built on constantly educating yourself on how to read your body and identify what works the best at any given time. We are all works in progress and it's all about taking the positive and most natural approach (when possible). Looking forward to hearing your successes!
yhahmd, I can't remember the last time I had a bagel! Sounds tasty.
OKAY! So! I've got news! I hopped on the scale this morning (even though i said I wouldn't), and guess what..... I'm
178.6!!! Do you know what that means??? I'm "NORMAL" for BMI!!! I haven't seen anything around that number in 2+ years!!! Even though this morning started out crazy (I forgot my wallet and had to call my DH to pay for my gas or I wouldn't have made it to my office), I'm in a great flippin mood. LoL
I told my DH that he has to hide the scale again (I accidentally found it after 2 months) so that I can go another stretch of time without obsessing about the number fluctuations. I feel that was the key to me being able to finally peel off the last 10 lbs after so long bouncing around the same numbers.
(And apparently I can't stop myself from weighing if it's there. That's after saying that I can hold off.) Have an excellent Thursday all!
