I almost caved at a family reunion today. They had my FAVORITE cookies...No Bakes! I was really tempted but I didn't eat any! Woo-hoo!

Happy Fourth!!

Tody will be my day 21!!!! and then I can start all over!!

Way to go!! curly!!! I am waiting to hear you got through the day!

Hi all. Just halfway through my next Day 1 here. I have a feeling I can do it today. Have been eating well, fresh pineapple, blueberries AND just had some fresh boiled pumpkin. Once I start getting the veggies in, it usually turns out to be a good day. It's when I'm eating sugar from early on that I usually snowball!

Heh, where is everyone?!?! All celerating the Fourth I take it. Curly, you make it through yet? Sub, where are you? jkg, Caro, Trixi?!?! Come back! Shane!! mscat, I saw your week challenge. Don't give up on us though?!

well guess what? I got busy clearing junk out of my house, and ripped out a closet in my bedroom.. and didnt get my walk in...

So i will be starting over today... so close..

No way curly!! did you take your free day?!

Hi Everyone!

I`m So glad the weekend is over! Thank God the next big holiday in this house is Thanksgiving.

Well lets see, the weekend was not a total loss. I ate pretty good at the BBQ`s, with the exception of some chips and dip... got up to day 11, Sunday I even mixed it up with 36 min Elliptical, 25 minutes step aerobics.

Yesterday though, I just couldn`t get it in. I`m keeping in mind it was a holiday and I can give myself a little break. But I will be back to it today. So I guess I`ll take my free day for yesterday, and if I can get back in gear (I will!!!) I`ll be on day 12.

I`ll be back tonight to let you all know how I make out!

I made it through day 12! I passed up all sweets at all 3 cook-outs this weekend. Woo-hoo! It was hard, but I did it and I am sooo proud of myself!

no.. we have freebies? well I will be starting over today either way .. lol

I had a very active weekend! Yesterday, I went swimming and had a great time until my son puked in the pool but other than that I had a great fourth of July. Today, I will walk 4 miles to wrap up day 8! Good luck all

Sub

I can't even remember what day I am on and I went alittle crazy with the alcohal this weekend and ate some pasta. So Day one for me again. I am not including the alcohal in this one cause I don't think I will make it at this point. May be will do it for the second 21 day challenge. So starting today and for the next 21 I WILL

drink my water (at least eight glasses a day)
eat right, including not skipping meals
go to curves five days a week
take my vitamins

Redballon - You asked how I lost all the weight...hmmm I ate NO carbs but good carbs (carbs hate my body). I totally eliminated breads, pasta, rice and pototoes. Ate tons of veggies, chicken and fish and had was careful on my fat intake. Drank lots of water and had positive thoughts. I went from a size to a 10 and then came Christmas! I gained about ten pounds over those holiday's but now I am back on track. I also did the walk away the pounds videos regularly. Right now I am only doing Curves cause my dvd went with the dumbass but when I get another one I will start again. I dont care for anything sweet and didn't miss that but at first it was really hard giving up the carbs but after awhile I got use to it and now when I cheat and eat them I get a huge tummy ache, so I really have to be craving badly in order to give in.

I weighed in at Curves and I hate there scale! It was a huge differnce from mine. I don't know what to do use their scale or mine? who's is right? At least our measuring tapes are the same I have lost inches and thats what matters right?

ditto no bread, no pasta, no white flour... and watch the sugar... good carbs, wheat flour pita's and wheat wraps... thats what i have been doing.. cuz once u cut them out u start to not crave them... BUT as soon as u eat them the cravings come back....


I went to my workout today & walked so i am starting my 2nd 21 days

day 1!!!

Heh, curly. Just saw you posted. Don't know if you caught the rule change but, yeah, somewhere along the way, I revised the rules to allow for ONE free day on your first round of 21. Each successful round will give you another free day. So, I say you completed your first 21 okay, and now will have two free days on this one. Strategically, I say, go back to start rather than using your freebies early on. So, tell me, what exactly is your new challenge?

Ok, will write more later.

Curly- 20 days of exercise is a great accomplishment! Good for you! I think you`ll have no problem getting through 21 (now 20!) more.

I did great today, 40 min Elliptical, 20 minutes step.... so I`m gonna start fresh at day 1 also. It`s so much more motivating for me to start back at 1 than to think how many days I`ve already done. I`m happy to take 11 as my first shot at it! Theres no more Holidays in the next 20 days, so no more excuses for me!

Tomorrow begins my 3rd week of these changes. Never really made it past 2 weeks before. So far I`ve made it past a food filled Holiday, pizza on my table and PMS. I hope I`m as strong in the next 2 weeks!!

jkg- Great control!! I try to keep "ok" sweet things around or I`d totally go nuts on a sugar binge. Slimfast snack bars, 100 calorie packs (the oreos are great!) and I`m finding more and more healthier choices everyday that I love. I keep goodies for the kids and I`m not one bit tempted cause I have my own portion controlled treats. My grocery bill has gone up, but totally worth every penny. I just realized while typing it`s been at least a month without a reeses peanut butter cup! At this TOM I`d be swimming in them right now. lol

Red- Hope you`re doing great!!

Everyone, have a great night! I`ll check in tomorrow.
