hey girls! sorry i haven't been around. I pretty much suck at life at the moment. I have a very crazy weekend and never got around to weighing in. Last week sucked food wise, socially it was great!
I have gained a bit of weight. very disappointed. I am working everyday until Christmas. I usually do better on days that i work. It is really hard to work when i feel bloated or full, so hopefully this week will be better for me!
well i had a busy weekend family xmas party. it was very nerve racking it a long story. basicly adults acting like spoiled brats in short. any the eating was fine no over eating. I do know i have been drinking way to much soda lately though that i need to work on today and this week.
hi everyone. Im still stuck at 169. I was hoping to drop a few more. been busy as can be. sorry for the fly by but wanted to check in so you know Im still here and thinking bout ya. Pat
Good morning Ladies~ I have so much good news to tell you all. Geez where to begin. I was stressing because my YMCA membership ran out midnight last night . I was committed to my exercise program and this challenge. I honestly didn't know what I was going to do. I texted my ex last night. He gave me the membership as a Christmas gift last year. This morning I got a call from Becky at Y telling me my membership has been extended to the end of the month : Seems they shorted me 10 days on the current membership. I can continue my workouts and classes 10 more days!!!!! Good news 2) drum rolls........I stepped on the scale this morning it said 167 !!! a 2 pound loss. Did I just say 167???? I am one pound from this months goal!!! OH MY GOODNESS!!! So here I come. Thanks for listening to my rambling Pat
I am re-committing again. Everyday a new one, right? The good news is I am logging all my calories, the bad news is I keep eating too many. Plus it is not healthy food choices. Today will be better.
Terapet~I had an idea that works for me. I began thinking of my calories as dollar bills. My allowance is 1200-1250. Every morning morning I am given 1200 dollars to spend on calories. As with real money I want the best bang for my calorie bucks. If I dont want to spend my calorie bucks on a food I pass it up. It has given me a whole new out look on foods and calories. Just and idea hope it helps you.
I lost another 2 pounds when I weighed in this morning. it said 165. WOOO HOOO!!!!! Went to the store and loaded up on peppers, broccoli zuchini, cucumbers, box of raisins, apples, and oranges. I got a bag of raw natural almonds for snacks. on my way to 150 Pat
I'm glad to see you guys active and such. I've just been looking for a job, very irritating and crazy. A bit of good news, I'm getting money from my retirement fund so I can pay my rent at least. I wont be able to go visit my family which is really depressing but that is my life. Also, I should have my internet back in about a week, thank god!
JasonsLea-Good for you getting out there and looking for your next job. I'm glad to hear you found the funds to pay your rent.
Dixiemae-I love your idea about looking at the calories as if they were dollars. I am always very careful about spending money. Maybe your idea will help me transfer some of that discipline to how I eat!
Maenad-I just starting back to writing down what I eat again. It definitely helps but I still manage to eat too much! I will keep working on it though. Thanks.
This thread is awfully quiet. I haven't been here myself, I know. I enjoyed catching up on the reading though. I was wondering if there's going to be a
G2010 in the new year. I bet this thread gets hopping again after the new year. I miss Eny's motivating posts. I may just go back and find some and read them.
Have a great Sunday everyone.
I'm down to 279.6 btw, not a huge loss, but out of the 280's.
I found Where Eny started this year's challenge. I'm going to pm Shari about it. Anyone else interested in helping next year? The more the merrier, so we can get skinny and healthy!
