Day 55 - no bingeing! :woohoo:

You read that right, lol!

My DH and I had one starting driver's ed while shopping for car seats for the other.:dizzy:

It's still Friday morning, well at least for me, and I want to wish everyone a fab (yet early) start to the weekend!:hug:

Day 1
 

Hey everyone!

I'm jumping back in. I had my little girl almost 1 year ago, and when I was pregnant with her, I totally fell off the binging wagon.
Time to be held accountable again and get this under control!!

Once again, so thankful for this group.!!!!

Welcome back mama, and thanks for the replies everyone else. :hug:


So far today I have stayed on plan and not overeaten for the first time in a long time. WoW! Throwing out all my trigger foods in the last couple of days helped for sure, though I am still tempted to have my favourite "healthy" dessert tonight even though that will put me well over my calories... I mix up 10g Peanut Butter, a scoop of Sun Warrior chocolate protein powder, crush a few cacao nibs and a titch of himalayan salt, and add 1/2 a Tbsp coconut syrup and enough water to make a thick paste...It is sooooo good and helps me abstain from regular chocolate and other treats but it is pretty addictive too and well too much food is too much food no matter how healthy it is!



I will grit my teeth and get a cup of rooibos chai instead. JUST TODAY.. tomorrow I can have it again I promise me.


Day 3 BINGE FREE yay me.

Welcome, Mama!

Day 56! :woohoo:

Thanks guys!!! Going in Day 2!!!

Throwing out triggers def helped me too!

How is everyone doing? I'm having a busy weekend with a friend from out of town staying with me. I turned 46 on Friday and ran a 5k that night and really had a great time doing it! My first race since I injured my back a few years ago. I'm afraid my finish line photo is going to look RIDICULOUS since I was really hamming it up as I crossed the line.

We are actually doing pretty good food-wise. Certainly no binges and very reasonable with the snacks and meals. Lots of fruit. I've had more carbs than I'm used to but so far haven't had a huge problem feeling triggered and we've been very active which helps.

I'll catch up on the thread later tonight, just wanted to pop in to say I hadn't fallen off the planet or anything! I'm still staying on track and sending out positive vibes to everyone to STAY STRONG!

Tyla -- day 56, AWESOME!!!

Day 57! :woohoo:

Thank you, MrsSnark! Happy Belated Birthday and congrats on running a 5 K! You rock!! :bravo: :congrat: :dancer:

Hi everyone! Unfortunately I haven't had a great couple of days. Won't go into specifics because it's embarrassing but I think I'm just having one of those weeks. It's been okay today and I'm committed to getting through without a binge today. I need to give my tummy a break. I was really down last night but my outlook is a lot more positive today, especially with my Sunday morning Americano.

Mrs Snark: Sounds like a great weekend! I would love to see that photo :) Maybe more carbs than you were used to but they are great for running!

Tarabella: Good for you for throwing out those trigger foods! I just did today (PB) and have resolved not to buy it for a month.

Have a great day everyone!

Last week was a bad week, but now I'm in my summer break, I'll have more time to concentrate on what I'm eating!

Hello :)

Thank you. Sorry I haven't replied, I've been away for the weekend and ignoring my computer since my exam finished Friday 5pm lol
Congratulations on your pregnancy :D I'll do the same if/when my time comes, but the getting back into running won't be so hard the second time because we've already pushed through our mental barriers the first time. ;) If you're like me, you'll want to get your fitness back a.s.a.p.

Hi guys, hope everyone's doing great.

I've had an ok couple of days. I really feel like I need to get back into exercising half an hour each day because it helps me to control my eating (because I feel like my exercise would go to waste). I went out for beer last night with some friends and had about 500-600 ml of it, and decided not to have dinner to make up for that. I don't know how healthy that is, but I figured it's ok just once. My weight's holding steady at 210 or 210.5 lbs, but I'd really like to at least get below 210 once and for all by the end of the month.

Hello everyone!

Hope everyone is feeling good today. My weekend was busy and pretty good. I ran a 5k with my dog on Saturday. It was a fundraiser for the rescue where we adopted her. I wasn't even sure if I would do it or not as my knee was still bothering me and my dog is more a sprinter than a distance girl. :) But I woke up early on Saturday morning and figured if my knee was bothering me, she'd be happy to walk. We ended up running the whole race with a couple water stops (for her) in 28:32. Today I woke up at my highest weight in weeks, the result of really lazy eating and not tracking at all. It was the kick in the pants I needed, I guess, because I have been perfectly on plan today, even with a candy, cookie, and cupcake-filled Halloween party this afternoon. And I ran 5 miles. :)

ILoveVegetables, I agree that exercise helps! I think part of my problem the last two weeks is that I haven't been running.

Rhiko, yay for summer break! I find summer is a good time to focus on healthy eating -- fresh produce, skimpy clothes, etc.

Tyla, congrats on day 57!

Mama, congrats on day 2!

Tarabella, congrats on day 3!

LaceyJ, Momwithdogs, and anyone else stopping by -- :wave:

Wishing everyone a great day!

7lbs: I'm now jealous of BOTH your finish time and your dog's finish time. That's just awesome! Congrats!

Happy Belated Birthday, Mrs Snark!!:D:hug:

7- Fab job!:carrot:

Ladies, thank you for giving me somewhere to vent.:hug: Wish I could say it was an OP weekend, but not so much. Nothing in particular set me off and I knew I was overeating the entire weekend.

Here's to a new week!:dizzy:
