Good Morning Gang!
Hey Beth Anne - I am so glad to hear that you are feeling great! you can tell it in your posts! I use to absolutely love going to my Weight Watcher meetings! have fun today!
Hey Sheila - I love cheetos too! dang I love it all. But I am glad to say that I survived the day without touching a ding dong. I really didn't struggle with it at all, especially after I told ya'll about it, I was not about to give in and eat one and then have to come back in here and spill my guts about it.
but the box is still there today. The guys must have had a bunch for breakfast bec there are only 4 left in the box (yes I looked cause I wanted to see how many days I'm gonna have to fight this). But maybe they will finish them off today or tomorrow morning and then they will be gone. Dang guys!
Arenee - hope ya'll got some sleep last night? how is everybody feeling today?
April - thanks for posting your food log and explaining what you're doing. I was wondering? have you been eating up to 2002 calories and down to 1820 the week that you lost the 5 lbs? that is unbelieveable! WOW! how many calories were you eating before? it wasn't near that much was it?
Leenie - thanks for reminding me that those ding dongs weren't gonna taste as good as they use to and that regardless, they definitely aren't worth it! what ya doing today? is the boss cracking a whip? what ya doing about the strength training? did you find some weights yet?
Cin - did the closing on the house fly? I pray everything is working out!
Tippy - what ya doing this week? hope you're feeling well! miss ya!
Kemp - hot yet?
SueMarie - whasssup?
LindaT - you lurking? would love to hear from ya?
Even tho I was up late last night, I still drug my tired behind out of bed and got in my 2 mile WATP this morning. anybody else getting in some exercise?
I think I have figured out something about my birth control pills. Apparently they can increase your glucose levels which make you feel hungry. I have noticed that the 21 days I am taking them I am hungry all the time, but the 7 days that I am off of them I don't think of food that much until my stomach growls. I know that a low dose birth control is not suppose to cause weight gain, but if they make you feel hungry you are probably gonna eat more.
I went back and checked my food journals - on the days that I am taking the pill I have trouble keeping it around 1200 to 1400 calories, and on the weekends its higher, but this past weekend I didn't get off track and this week (7 days off the pill) I have been able to keep my calories around 1000 calories without much thought. hmmmmmm I might be on to something? not sure what I will do about it tho? anybody have thoughts or experiences with birth control pills and how they affected your eating habits and weight?
sorry my posts have been running so long.
hugs,
chatty cathy
