practice-when I travel, some good choices for me, a few raw almonds, fiber one bar, an apple, or some pretzels, since you will be on a plane for 5hrs, I would have a very fiber rich meal before, so you won't be hungry for any slip ups, there are too many temptations at the airport for me!, if I know I have to miss a meal I bring along an atkins meal-replacement bar {I find they have the least amout of sugar} and drink plenty of water with your snack {in the states, can't bring any liquids through the gate, but once we are through that, we get a bottled water}
My weigh in for the week makes it look like I had a bad week (+0.4) at 191.0 but in reality I had a really good week and was as low 188.0. Then, my scale died and I had to buy a new one. I am pretty bummed about it. I know I'm too reliant on the scale when having to buy a new one had me all in a panic yesterday. Of course this one weighs me a little different, and heavier. I swear that EVERYTHING is conspiring to keep me from being in the 180's. Weird!
Maryshady- when I just can't get myself going foodwise, I often try to force myself to do a serious workout and often find the workout makes me more motivated with the food part. If you haven't done that, maybe try it.
Time to kick it in hard this week so I don't have to look at that dang 190 something one more week. Doesn't matter that I shouldn't have to be seeing it now, I'm just going to have to 'relose' the same weight again. Grrrr!
Hello all, I didn't lose alot but I did lose so I'll take it. I will be on vacation next week so won't have a scale unless I can find somewhere to weigh I'll use a freebie or whatever but hoping to find somewhere to weigh in next week.
Hang in there to all of you who are struggling, it'll get better just keep trying. Oh well, actually working today so I guess I should get to it.
Hi hope everyone is doing well! It's been so crazy settling back in and getting caught up on everything and now we have my best friend staying with us til she flies back home (she lives in Sweden), so most free time has been playing hostess. Took her to my gym today, so that was fun.
Last week was a good week, after all the traveling craziness it was nice to have some more structure again.
Oh also I'm pretty psyched that I'm only 2 lbs away from hitting the first goal I made for myself on the boards! (To lose 31 lbs) Hopefully that is good motivation for this next week.
This week was bad. I took a break from counting calories. Normally this would not have been that big of a deal. But then TOM decided she was going to make an appearance. I still got my runs in so I am pleased with that. I think I'm going to start back counting again in the morning. This week will be a freebie though.
This is not one of my better weeks...not gaining but got so much on my mind...Run/Walk Mile tomorrow, travel to CA on Thurs for a 25 yr reunion...TOM is lurking around the corner. Why couldn't I have been early like I have been for the last 3 months? No, I am due on Sunday and am so so moody, bloated and yucky...Great, can't wait to get to that starting line tomorrow, and oh yeah, get on a plane for 6 hours the next day!!!
These last two weeks have been a washout for me. I came down with a cough/cold, emphasis on the coughing part. I still have it, though not as bad now. Then I also got TOM at the same time. I haven't exercised in two weeks. Needless to say, I've felt like crap physically and it's been rather disheartening. No great gain but no great loss either.
Beautiful day here in NE GA USA. But hot hot hot...whew!
I was just going to update my exercise on the exercise thread...but it's closed? I guess not enough activity?
Yeah I was wondering about that myself. I had forgotten to start tracking when I got back from our vaca but remembered yesterday but thread looked closed. I couldn't read the boards much while I was gone so completely missed if there was anything said about it.
