hi, it's me again!

i just finished my workout: 20 min. moderate pace walk and 20 min. workout video! wohoo!

i almost quit on myself 5 min. into my walk cuz i pushed myself too hard and tried to sprint, but on my way back up the stairs to my apartment, i talked myself out of it. this may sound silly since i just joined 3FC yesterday, but i remembered all the support i was getting from here and that helped me keep going!

so thanks again for the great support! i feel great about myself today! :0)

jp

Hooray for you JP
It is so great that you were able to convince yourself not to give up on the exercise...now keep at it


Veggie

Go Jp !!! Congrats on convincing yourself to keep it up !!!

Good morning everyone

A good day yesterday...no cravings, and ate healthy; also got in exercise, and I did again this morning...another rainy day though, and a saturday to boot which is always problematic; So I'll try to keep busy...my daughter is at a swim meet all day, so maybe I'll try and clean her room

Have a good day, and stay strong!

hi all!

thanks for the support! dinner yesterday got strayed a little bit cuz i was invited to a friend's house for dinner with her family.

but, pretty good eating today. i even talked myself out of eating a bag of chips, although i had a couple pieces, but not the whole thing! wasn't able to exercise today cuz had a busy schedule and the weather isn't cooperating here either. i may try to fit something in though before the night is over. otherwise, all is well.

good job veggie with exercising despite the weather.

fld, glad your days are going well too!

jp

Hi everyone

Glad to hear we are all doing well

JP - I'd say that's a major thing, to stop at some chips rather than eat the whole bag...for me, that's even harder to do than not having them at all...

Finally, the sun is shining, which is great, althought it means I have not excuse to sit in the house and eat

Have a great day!

good evening!

good eating again today, resisited tempations. i'm not sure if this counts as exercise, but i walked around the mall for a couple of hours! then i did a 20 min. exercise video when i got home.

veggie, glad the sun came out for you. unfortunately for me, i got snow. brrr... :0)

jp

Good morning

Glad to hear everyone is doing well...seems that there really is something to this support tihng...I know it helps me to come on and hear from you guys...hope it does the same for you

JP - walking for several hours around the mall definitely counts as exercise in my book...certainly better than sitting on the couch all afternoon

Yesterday was good, although I had a frustrating experience...As I was leaving church yesterday, two women who are running a hospitality campaign were at the entrance handing out pretty wrapped cello bags of mms and hershey kisses...I really didn't think I could refuse without insulting them (trust me on this), but I had just gotten rid of all the halloween candy and the last thing I wanted to do was have more in the house I took the bag, and while I wanted to throw it in the nearest trash can on my way home, I felt that was wrong too given the effort they had made. So what did I end up doing...you got it, I brought it into the house, and ate it after lunch

Now I know it was no big deal, and in a way I did have a small victory in that I stopped myself at that treat, and ate no more bad stuff...for me, that 's huge...But I just thought it was funny, finding such temptation at church

Have a great day,

Veggie

No Binge Days till New Years: 15/17

Morning -

JP- Great job !! I'd definatelly consider walking the mall exercise as well . I know I'm wore out after a day at the mall .

Veggie - Congrats on stopping at just that !! It's way to easy to keep going . I'm lucky on that if someone gives me chocolate I just give it to the kids . That is funny you definatelly wouldnt think church would be the place for such temptation .

My day went okay yesterday . I ended up eating a brownie (I made them for the kids a couple days ago). Oh well at least I made it a few days without one and I didnt eat the whole pan (I really wanted to ) .
Have a great day everyone !!!!
fld

good afternoon!

congrats veggie and fld on stopping on after just one treat. those are definitely accomplishments in my book!

pretty good day for me, so far. i think i'm doing much better in terms of portion control. i think we all are, actually! i think i'm gonna try the Gillian Michaels 30-day Shred work out video. my roommate has the DVD, and i think i'm up for the challenge. i'm trying to get my boyfriend to do it with me so i have someone to do it with. i heard it's pretty intense. i'll keep you posted on how it goes.

jp

Morning everyone

Good job fld20 - one brownie is infinitely better than the whole pan!

JP - good luck with the exercise video. I too have heard its pretty demanding, so be strong

Today started out well, exercise and a good breakfast, but I have that nagging feeling that today might be a problem...you know how some days you just feel like somethings brewing on the eating front and it works at you all day till you give in...well, I don't want to give in and I just have to keep reminding myself of that....wish I knew how to stop the nagging before it starts

Take care,

Veggie

No Binge Days Till New Years: 16/18

good morning!

veggie, i know exactly what you mean about the nagging eating-bad feeling. i feel like i get it almost every day, especially because my roommate has junk food everwhere and eats it all the time. and another thing is that the people who live across from me in my apartment are constantly cooking highly aromatic food, at 10:00 at night, nonetheless, when i'm desperately trying to convince myself to not eat! i just have to keep reminding myself of my goal and/or how i would feel after i give in to my craving. or i try to keep myself busy so i won't think about it, because i realized i tend to eat when i'm bored. but if it still won't go away, i allow myself to have a little bit of what it is i'm craving, which is hard in itself. so if i want a piece of chocolate, i'll open the pack, break of a piece, put the rest away immediately, eat the piece slowly, and drown it all down with a glass of water. finally, i don't beat myself up about it after because that just gets me more depressed. Instead, i feel good about the fact that i was able to only eat a piece of the chocolate instead of the whole thing. hope this helps a little.

my day is going well so far. pretty good eating. i guess my biggest issue right now is wanting to eat or getting hungry before bed. i tend to eat dinner around 6-7 p.m., but i usually go to bed around midnight. so there's a good amount of time in between for me to get hungry and i'm not sure what would be best to eat, if i should, at that time. any tips?

started my first day of the 30-day Shred yesterday. going well, so far. about to do my second day.
