Im racking up some tags, I think im up to 6. I gotta start working them off.
Abby- I know, its so easy to fall off the wagon but so hard to get back on.
Purple- Im eating enough and ok I suppose. Im just not eating as much as I used to which is a good thing. I used to eat too much. Im just like that sometimes, I get really tired and dont feel like doing anything. I think I just gotta kick myself in the butt and get going from sleeping so much when I was sick.
Terapet- Yes ma'am! LOL
Melissa- Heavenly Heather, lol, its got a ring to it, I like.
I was just worried about what kind of health problems it could cause. I have really never been one to put in any thought to it but I have been drinking those crystal lights like theres no tommorow. Just kept thinking how I dont normally eat/drink alot of artificial sweetners. I guess Ill just stick too it seems to be doing me good. Guess you got a point, either way you could develop a health problem.
You and your boob job, lol. I hope you get it, just because you want it so bad.
Vanessa- mmm , I love cabbage. Have you ever tried turnips? I think it taste real close to cabbage in my opinion or maybe its just the way my grandma cooks them but thats my fav!
I tryed my jonathan apple and it was yukky..sour. I dont like sour apples. Im really not a fan of apples period but the more sour they are the more I dont like them.
Okay, I'm back on track now... whoo! It's day 57 for me (started on New Years Day) and it's sad to say, but I think this is the longest I've stayed on a "diet" plan. Seriously though, I can see that it's becoming more of a way of living for me now. I've slipped several times along the way, but I'm finding it easier to get back on and keep going.
Anyway, Purplefirefly... I'm going to blatantly steal a line from your post and add it to my siggy because it just makes so much sense to me:
Motivation comes and goes, we have to rely on determination in it's absence.
That is brilliant! Oh yeah, I also tried a new fruit this week.... a Red Pear. Okay, so I find out later that it's not any deviatian from a standard pear except for the color! I'm going to see if I can find something else to sample. I did try to go exotic before choosing the pear though. In the produce aisle there was this little decorative basket that had star fruit in it (neat! but I've had those before) and these interesting little potato-sized yellowy-orange fruits with spikes all around it. It reminded me of a puffer fish *lol*. Anyway, I thought "Hey! I'll try one of these!", but the $4.99 lb price turned me off a little. Until I talked to the produce guy standing there... turns out they were $4.99 *each*!! Okay, no way was I gonna pay that must for a piece of fruit... so I passed :P
My sister gets all kinds of advance sale notices, exclusive coupons, etc. from her work and she sent this to me this morning:
Good morning everyone. I received a paper copy of a big sale that is going on and thought I would pass the information on to you. See below.
Nordstrom is changing the logo on their make up, so they’re selling everything for $1!!!
The make up line e.l.f. (eyeds-lips-face) has been bought out by Nordstrom and will be re-packaged with the Nordstrom name on it. They are getting rid of the entire make up in the ELF packaging. They are selling everything for $1.00. You do have to pay shipping. They have everything – powder, mascara, lipstick, a mineral line (100% natural), brushes and cases, nail polish, lotions, you name it. The website is http://www.eyeslipsface.com/shop.asp When you check out there is a space for a coupon code. Use CAROLINA and save an additional $7.50 if your order is over $15.00.
I ordered some things this morning and it is really true! Enjoy!
I just placed a huge order and paid just over $50 including shipping, so it is legit.
Hi ladies... feeling really good about today. I have avoided Costco churros (still hot) that I was given as a little munchie gift and a PLATTER of Chocolate chip, chocolate & M&M, and white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. I am sooooooo on plan!
WOW! You'll be glad when you go to weigh in tomorrow!

Pacific Rose apples are my absolute FAVORITE! They are so firm and SWEET! They are so hard to find though...I can only get them at a certain time in winter at our local Wal-Mart Supercenter....but I haven't seen them this winter....eat some for me...LOL

You and your boob job, lol. I hope you get it, just because you want it so bad.
I thought you might like the Heavenly Heather ...sounds like your porn name or something...ha ha ha!!! You got plenty of time to start working off those tags....just start putting in 30 minutes here and there...they will be gone before you know it.....I will tell you one thing that helps me...and that is not doing any one activity for a long period of time....I can't go to the gym and do the treadmill or the elliptical for an hour cause I get so bored....but I can do the elliptical for 30 and the treadmill for 15 and abs for 15 .....so maybe you could even break it down into 15 min increments and that might help ya...
And I do SO want a boob job! LOL! I swear on my life I will get one if I ever lose this stupid weight...LOL!
And BTW...I love cabbage too...but mainly in egg rolls dipped in sweet and sour sauce....and in low mein....and other chinese dishes...yum!

thanks purple, I've been needing some new makeup but have been too stingy to buy anything. SO I picked up $15 worth of items and used the cupon code to get free shipping pretty much.
thanks you guys for all of the support and the tags! yay!!
I had a over the top food binge last night and am now going through a high fat/hugh sugar food hangover. I must say that it's def what i needed... ( minus the extra pounds haha)
Im on track so far today and I think that im not back in the swing of things. I think for a while I got so obsessed with numbers that i let myself feel defeated.. but back into mind body and spirit and being HEALTHY. Now.. i know I will still have probs until I REALLy getback on track with some bad habits.. but I think im ready to deal with it and not give in..
sheeesh... this is offically my second relape since i started this journey.. but like lasttime, it's def a blessing in the sense that im learning.. hehe
Somethings I am doing to get back on track...
1) scheduling gym time... making it a priority
2) cutting back my internet time ( it sucks hours/days away.. dharma and greg reruns online will ALWAYS be there.. hehe no need to spend days watching them simutaniously.. hahah)
3)Not eating after 730
4)Eat only food that benfits my body
5)Bed by 11-12
6)Read my mind body spirit books everyday to hel stay n track
7)Create/try new recipes... veggie based.
8)start a running program that suits me
9)yoga 4-5 times a week!
10) food journal!!!
Melissa: I want a boob job too! and i want all my extra skin 'chopped off' too.. it's already starting to hang low... lol my 'oprah arms' are more like ' bat wings' these days. when i get to goal weigh and maintain for a year.. im thinking i will deserve to snip away the stuff that doesnt disapear with exercise.. and a boob job is def in the makings... n ow.. if only i could get over my fears of pain!! heheb maybe we can be boobie buddies when we get it done!! lol

Hey all, I've been so ill with a migraine for 4 days omg, so bad, I jsut caught up with 6 pages of posts, i was so behind, I have 3 tags to work off, ill try tomorrow and sat, I know I cant tag anyone after tomorrow so I am sorry guys, today kinda bummed with the head tho, i was at work in theatre and i started to spin, ended up getting someone to cover so I could go and be sick, which immediately made me get more pain, but its subsiding now, was meant to go to archery but i just cant face it, and i feel bad for not being on plan but I guess things like this cant be helped, food off plan too for a few days, I dont feel to bad about it cause I had tom and migraine so allowed to stray hehe, but now i am back with a vengance, I doubt I have lost this week, so i wont be dissapointed when I weigh in tomorrow, I AM PREPARED!!
Looks like you guys have been keeping busy, well done
looking forward to the next challenge
Holey Moley guys--five tags to work off!!!! Ummm.......thanks, I guess (Btw; two more will give me 20.)
I stole a look at the scale today and am uber disappointed. Two lbs up?!? What the heck is with that? I hate being in my 40s. Seems no matter what I do exercise-wise, it doesn't help, but let one little chip pass my lips and I balloon up 10 lbs. Sigh. Very, very discouraged. Don't even want to exercise today, because, what good does it do? My head keeps telling me to toss in the towel.............
Hey girls! Sorry that I haven't been on much this week - it's been a busy one! I think I finally have everything under control for the unemployment thing. I've been eating HORRIBLY this week! I've NEVER wanted junk food so badly! I'm dreading the scale tomorrow... *sigh*.
Just as a reminder - please PM me your weigh ins for Week #2 by tomorrow night!!! I'll kick and beat you if you don't!!!
purple- good for you. i am so happy that your daughter talked to you about her feelings. that is so wonderful, you are a great mom!
i finished 2 tags so i have 2 to give out!
dollypie and heather1979
i will try to get caught up reading more posts tomorrow. i hope that i didn't miss any more tags. still got one to finish. i have no idea how many i had. only 7 i think.
You'll be glad when you go to weigh in tomorrow!
