Hello RED TEAM! (Oops, I'm wearing blue today?! Aaahh, I know what I'll do...everytime I am aware of wearing blue, I will be reminded of the team to beat and stay OP as a result!) I have remained OP through a couple days of sugar cravings which is a HUGE victory for me. I'm still dreaming of sugar plums in my head unfortunately, but I COMMIT to coming back here if I feel I am going to stray. At least the Oreo Ice Cream got finished off by my DH and DS last night. I never had ANY from start to finish. NSV!!
Usually, I am the one finishing it off and starting it and maybe if they're lucky, they get one bowl. Ice cream is like chocolate for me: MORE!!!!
TOM arrived this morning and I just realised that I do not feel extra bloated. Hmmm, what staying OP will do!!! WONDER OF WONDERS!
What did I have for breakfast, you ask? - Pineapple and canteloupe. I follow the Fit For Life eating program which has you eating only fruit in the mornings. Today is a little tougher. It is a Main-Course Salad Day which means fruit until dinner and dinner is a large salad with either protein or starch (not both). I think I'll be OK with a Main Course Salad Day today as I am at home which always makes it easier for me.
chiquita623 I hear ya! My motto is "You'll feel better if you stay OP!"
mtiger TOM visiting you too today, eh? He sure gets around!
CruiseCAT I'm not motivated this round to take pictures or do measurements. Just getting to the gym regularly is what I am focusing in on this time around in my weight loss journey. I do have a BEFORE picture from a year ago which will do when I reach goal. It's always great seeing the changes though isn't it. I look forward to hearing about the changes that you are seeing. Maybe my motivation for pictures and measuring will shift hearing about your changes. It is something that would be good to do.
Iwanawurkit I swim regularly myself and know what you mean about the chlorine. I assume you know to only buy 100% Polyester swimsuits? I don't shop online, so I can't recommend a site. I get mine at a swimsuit store at the mall. There is usually a small rack just reserved for 100% Polyester swimsuits. I have only ever seen Roots and Ty carry them. How many laps do you swim and how often? I do 64 laps twice a week which gives me an excellent 45 minute cardio workout that is great for working out the kinks in my body. I love it!!
wfonseca3017 Three days in a row!! Awesome!!
Keep it going!! What kind of exercise have you been doing?
joyra Good for you for logging in today. Mission accomplished by doing that! I have been commiting to returning to the site when I am inclined to slip and this week it has been working like MAGIC for me. I hope you have the same results!
A SHOUT OUT TO EVERYONE ELSE...I must go now.
