Well, Yesterday,
I cheated, I ate a piece of truffle cheesecake from Eli's cheesecake factory, and today I have to pay the price so I did the BL High intensity cardio. Damn! I feel like I payed for all the cheesecakes that I ate in my whole life. But today I am gonna be a good girl No more cheesecake because on Tuesday when I WI I hope to see at least 1 lb. off...Bad Milca, bad
But I am glad that Idid the BL high intensity, now I know that I can do it!!
Megan--what were you on before blue? And what's the difference now? Just curious because we are close on the ticker. You guys make me feel guilty--I have got to start working out again. Somebody HOUND me!!
35 minute run and BL sculpt....I'm gonna have some nice looking abs by summer if I keep doing that!! Also had my plan switched to blue. Hopefully this helps the weight melt off of me!!
Megan - Let me know how the blue plan works for you. I just got changed to the blue plan from the gold yesterday too because I'm working out about 7 hours a week. So far I haven't seen any difference, but then again it's only been a day and a half . I've been at the same weight for over a week and I've been POP and working out. Fingers crossed that this works!
BL Boot Camp. Should have done it yesterday, but DM called and I walked over to ther house for coffee instead. I did shop for about 4 hours yesterday, so that has to count for something!
Just curious.....does your plan mandate that you work out on a regular basis? My counsellor has been saying that I should lose 2 lbs on the plan (Gold) WITHOUT working out.
No, you don't have to exercise to lose. In fact, my 1st counslor told me not too, because it might slow my loss. By the time I had lost 40 lbs, though, I was noticing a lot of flabby skin and stuff, so I decided to add exercise.
BoosMom I was on Purple and have honestly been between 188 and 186 for probably the past 5 weeks now. And they JUST changed my plan on saturday to blue. I wasnt feeling well all weekend so I really didnt eat. Today will be my first time on it. Its not too bad. You get an extra half a protein and an extra starch but one less vegetable. Looking at it it seems like a lot but after I thought about it its really just 1/2 of a protein more. I figure in a weird way the veggie loss and starch gain kind of equal eachother out. I am hoping to stay POP all week because on Sunday 3/26 I leave for Las Vegas. And I am hoping to be a few pounds down before then.
Diane if you discover anything that makes blue easy or any pointers...really just anything...the advice would be much appreciated!! I am waaaaaay behind schedule. My target date is April 26 and to lost 26lbs by then I know will not happen and is not healthy. But I am hoping to try and get this weight to fall off of me. I would like to get to the "guaranteed" 2lbs a week again if possible. Any tips from anyone would be great!!
As for working out this week is going to be a lot different. I usually work afternoons and evenings but this week I am work 9-5 all week so I have decided to workout after I get off work. Today I am planning on doing at least 30 min on the treadmill and then BL #1. I went out and bought 4lb weights yesterday so hopefully I start getting some muscle cuts back!!
haha you dont know how good that makes me feel! I was soooo embarassed saying I only got 4lbs. The DBF was making fun of me yesterday at the store because I said I wanted 1lb weights and then this little girl no older than 3 came over and picked up the 1lb and started doing curls. I felt so awful. I have 2 or 3lbs at home that I used last week and I think I will continue to use those until I feel it is too easy and then move to my 4lb weights!! Thanks again Katie for not laughing though!!
Megan:
Blue sounds really interesting, I could give up one veggie for a starch and a half protein. Girl, I wish you the best in your new plan, and enjoy a lot in Vegas. Don't feel embarassed about the weights,you and Katie inspired me to buy ones so I can start using them, the truth is that you and Katie inspired me to do excercise by reading your posts. I have to go to Vegas in May for my DH's cousin weeding. I hope that me and DH found a chapel to re-marry but with Elvis.(Don't worry if you have a little slip in Vegas b/c what happen in Vegas stay in Vegas.)
Thanks Milca for all your kind words and support. I am hoping *keyword is hoping* to stay on plan as much as I can while out there. I already informed my friend that we are going to walk as much as possible. She isnt too happy about it but she'll get over it! As for working out Katie is actually the one who inspired me. My COD told me not to and if I did to keep it under 5 hours. But when I read katies post about seeing muscles in her arms and back I knew I had to get on the train and start working out. I am thankful everyday that I found this site. You ladies are so inspiring and helpful. I dont know if I would still be on LAWL if it weren't for you!!

I was told to have 5 or 6 small meals, which I do already, and to have either a protein, dairy or a fat in each meal. Those are the metabolism boosters. I went from gold to blue, so I added a starch and 1/2 protein, same of everything else. It's a sweet deal, but it's hard to get everything in when you're not used to it. So far, I haven't seen any change at all. It's only been 2.5 days, but I was hoping to see something. I am really getting down on myself, but I'm keeping up with what I'm doing. POP and working out. It just HAS to catch up with me sometime!
Last week I actually gained .2 for the week. With all the dedication I've been putting in, it's hard to swallow a gain. Before last week, I've been averaging 1.8 pounds a week, so I'm not up to the 2 pounds a week either. After last week my average is down, but I don't know how much. Not sure I want to know. If I don't see a change in the scale tomorrow, I think I'll just call in and let them know I'm not going in. Now if I go to Thursday without seeing a change (which will be 2 weeks), I'm going in and going ape s**t on theirs butts. (Excuse my language )
Good luck on the new plan. We can work through this together! We can do it, we can do it! I just have to keep telling myself this.....
