I didn't see Oprah when Jillian and Bob were on, but I DID get to catch one of Jillian's podcasts where she mentioned a lot of tension between her and Oprah. Now I really want to see the show. Anyone know what she's talking about?
I need some advice. Months ago when we first moved here DB's parents really wanted to fly in for Thanksgiving, and even though the thought of having to cook for his mom gave me panic attacks we said ok. The week after we got here and realized that things weren't going as smoothly as planned financially we called them and explained the situation and cancelled. They said sure, no problem. That was in September.
DB called them a few days ago and his dad mentioned that they BOUGHT THE TICKETS and were coming anyway. He tried to talk to them and explain that it was not really a good time but his dad said that they could just get a hotel and not to stress about it.
It's THANKSGIVING. How are we not supposed to stress about it? And, of course, in his culture it's unheard of to have people come over and let them stay at a hotel, but we don't even have a couch yet and we're renting out our guest room to a friend for a month. What do we do?
Enough of that. I did really well yesterday, no candy for me and air-popped popcorn was as extreme as it got. I went for a run beforehand and only made it 1.5 miles. That's one thing I DON'T like about exercise. You work so hard to condition yourself and if you only take off a week or so it's amazing how fast you lose it. Oh well, it was a good lesson for me and I finished my 30DS and went for a run tonight, so there's something to be proud of!
Marianne, welcome to the 30DS dark side!
It DOES get easier... and then she makes it harder.
tkglenn, I don't know much about PTSD but I do want to say that I'm sorry you're going through such a rough time. You say you feel like you need counseling -- by all means, don't be afraid to get it! Seriously, you have to do something to maintain your sanity, you know? Hang in there
Abby, I forgot to mention re: your having to transition to working and not having as much time to focus on weight loss. Maybe having that time helped to really ingrain those habits? BTW, are you still doing that 5k on the 4th?
Dee, you look amazing! Congrats on week 4!
