Wow I can't believe it for Christmas my hubby got me tickets to Hawaii we leave in a few weeks... I don't think I was ready yet for the beach but he thinks I am ..and my son and his lady got me a gift card to go pick out some clothes...so on Sunday Kohls has a big sale so we went at 5am in the morning..and I got a few great things..and some size 14 capri's a new ...wowowowowowo I love not shopping in the big girl section anymore...
and wow a park and the zoo are across from our hotel..so I can get plenty of walking in and the beach and pool...I am really excited...but i have so much work to do two more weigh in's before we go... :c arrot:
Wow Judogirl-what a great present! I'm sure you will look and feel great!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas. It seems like temptation was around (and on) every corner. This year we have received candy, cookies, cakes, danish kringles (3 HUGE ones-my kryptonite!!), in three times the quantity from other years (not my imagination). I sometimes wonder when people hear that you are on a "diet" they subconciously want to sabatage. I even had some people emailing recipes to me- and they know I hate to cook!!! I did not cheat, though. It just made me more determined not to. I did, however eat an extra vanilla butter bar on Christmas as my "fudge". I figured it was better than caving and eating the real deal-which was also in great homemade quantity!! I did get a couple of Wii dance/exercise games which are really fun and are helping me burn extra calories in addition to the treadmill. It appears that I am still stuck on the scales, but hopefully with the extra exercise something will budge! All in all- a great Christmas.
Well, yesterday I was completely back on protocol -- and I feel much better, although I'm coming down with a cold, I think. I fly home tomorrow. I will miss the little grandcuties, but it will be good to be home. Only 2 days of work this week, then off on Friday and Monday. Lots of time to get some house-cleaning done.
I'm back on track with IP after having a very uncomfortable Christmas day cheat. The stomach ache and food hangover were not fun at all. Definitely not worth it!! The good thing is the scale did not show any gain yesterday or this morning! I don't know if it's going to show later this week, but I hope it doesn't. I'm going for my next WI on Thursday. I'm going to workout today and stay on protocol until I reach my goal. No more cheats!! Have a wonderful day!
Hi everyone!
I have been avoiding you all for the past week and some! I'm sorry...I was in food denial. Whoa have I just cheated every single day. It was pathetic. I would go to sleep and wake up with that food hangover thing, have an IP breakfast and cheat again for the rest of the day. I avoided the scale the whole time. I started back on IP yesterday and dared to weigh myself today and gained 2lbs. I am very relieved because I was absolutely ridiculous with my eating. It shows my habits haven't changed though. I haven't been 'cured' yet. I have a lot to talk to my coach about when I WI on Wednesday. It shows I am not just in this program to lose weight. I need to address this eating habit psychologically...
Anyways, I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas? Everyone back on track? Any warriors out there that stuck it out through the holidays?
I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas! I got to wear some of my new "skinny" clothes and got some great compliments from the family; that sure felt good! I did cheat a little bit, but I managed to keep away from the candy. My cheats were meatballs and turkey sausage, and an extra couple eggs and IP bar on Christmas. I figured if I was going to eat some extras make it protein. So far the scale is still moving down. That was my first deliberate cheat in 6 months, and now I realize why there are 4 phases to this program - to keep the structure in place as you move into the "real world"! This certainly is an ongoing learning process, isn't it? Here's to a wonderful New Year!
Back on track and feeling better after yesterday. Seems I am not the only one with a food hangover. Who knew eating so much yummy food would make me feel like crap the next day. Well lots of people knew, I just didn't choose to believe.
Here is a question that has been on my mind. I have not been eating all my oil or salt every day. In fact almost always forget. Please someone let me know what these are for so perhaps I can find reason to remember. Thanks so much.
Have a good day all. It is snowing like crazy out after a few days of a chinook.

Good Morning.. About the salt and oil. Apparently it is very important. Very hard to get all the salt I find. My coach suggested that I measure out the salt and oil in a small dish and try to get it all in, but I am salt sensitive and get very bloated if I have too much salt. The oil on the other hand, and I use grapeseed, I like on my vegis... or salad. I'm interested in seeing what other comments arrive on the salt and oil topic.

Hi Peanuts Mom,
My understanding is the oil and salt are needed to furnish essential fats and minerals needed for optimal health, and we're not getting these elsewhere due to the restrictions of IP. Your body and brain need these so you can function with energy and clarity. I hope this helps.
For someone who was very committed to sticking to the diet I sure didn't do very well.. I must say though that after 5 weeks on the diet my body did not really want to eat much. It all started Thurs. and went downhill from there. I do believe I gained a couple of pounds, and fortunately one of my daughters was very motivated to make sure we got out and got some exercise everyday. The family has gone home now after 4 days way off protocol I'm ready to get back on track and lose the last 13, now 15 pounds by the end of January when we head to Cuba for February. But first...breakfast....
I never knew you could get a hangover headache even if you didn't drink! But after a (slight) cookie binge - nothing compared to previous years - I woke up the next morning feeling like someone had put an axe through the left side of my skull and eye. Now that's a sugar hangover. Also I noticed that the sugar made me jittery.
This was an interesting experience. It showed me that my tendencies haven't changed, that if I don't structure my eating, I will nosh here and there without ever feeling really full, and it's just calories piling on unnoticed.
In this case the penalty was less than two pounds. The blessing is learning quickly that I have a long way to go mentally in order to make this be the last diet I am on. I'm almost halfway to my physical weight goal, but am I halfway to the mental/psychological state of a thin person? And what do I need to do to become the naturally thin person, mentally?

Questions to ponder .....
I think that this is a harder thing to do than actually lose the weight! Something I am working on as well...
