I've been up for a while, today is day 1 of week 3 and I decided to add some exercise to my routine. I found a few podcast playlists for couch to 5k, so I downloaded one that had music I liked and I was off! I didn't to the jogging portion of week 1, it's been so long since I really exercised...but I walked the whole thing at a good pace, and I had a hard boiled egg when I got home. I'll probably do the week 1 program for a few weeks and work my way up to actual jogging.
Hope everyone with WI today got a visit from the Whoosh Fairy, and that everyone has a great day!
Good Morning! Day 2! Yesterday was really good. My work hours change from day to day so my challenge is going to be constantly adjusting my eating times. Yesterday I started work at 5:00 am but got off at 1:30 pm, so it helped to be home for the afternoon to cook my protein for dinner. I actually ate some of it for an afternoon snack which helped control the hunger. Woke up this morning with a headache but it went away after I tried the sea salt & water recommendation. Today, I work from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm so hope I can get through the day without too much difficulty. I do have extra protein cooked up to take for the afternoon, just in case, as well as veggies.

Way to go! I'm going to have to check into that in a couple of weeks. You guys are so inspiring!
Hi everybody! Wow, long time no see! It's great to see everyone's progress! So, a lot has happened in the 2 months or so that I've been MIA. My landlord passed away so I was forced to move... which then forced me to stop IP and switch to alternatives. My contract at work is up for bid, so I didn't want to get into a new lease when everything is still up in the air. So I'm living back with my mom for awhile until I know what's going on with my job. She's great, and is really supportive. We take turns cooking, but she is always looking up new IP friendly recipes. And since I've moved in and she's started eating with me, her doctor took her off her blood pressure meds!! But she lives in MD, so I now have over an hour commute to work. That, my friends, is not my idea of fun.
I think last time I was on here, I was right around 20 lbs. Well, I'm happy to say that, for awhile at least, I kept up with my weight loss. I'm now down 54 lbs! Unfortunately, for the last month or so, my weight loss has slowed significantly. I don't know why I'm so bummed about it because I know I'm having great results, but it's just discouraging, you know?
Anyway, I quit going to my coach before the 4 week mark, so I never got started on the Novi cleanse. I'm wondering what people on alternatives use. I want to try that and see if it will kick my butt back into gear.

Good for YOU!
My husband had the book Couch to 5K, then he went on to train for a marathon and ran for the leukemia/lymphoma (purple) in the Rock n Roll marathon in San Diego. He had always wanted to do it and he did!
I have to go to the dentist & not for a cleaning. arrrrghhhh.. I have a tooth that has bothered me for over a year. It is a beautiful tooth with no obvious problems (according to the dentist) and no filling, but it hurts. boo hoo. I am pretty brave for the most part, but a couple years ago I had 3 root canals on the same tooth, 2 regular root canals and 1 along the gum line, it was horrible, I finally went in and said "pull it" they didn't want to but they did. We then moved to NC from NY for work, and I went to a dentist that suggested an implant, BEST thing I ever did! Never took a pain med or anything and you can't tell it isn't my tooth. Well, I guess my anxiety is making me ramble on. We are back in NY now, but I have a different dentist.
Good Luck peeps, I have been OP . Probably all shakes today & mashed cauliflower. lol
Good morning
My mom and her sister are coming up to visit for a Lake Vacation today. Have 12 year old mowing lawn, husband vaccuming, and have washed several loads of laundry already.
Like my mother cares. Mothers and daughters - interesting combination.
This is the first time I've seen my mother since I have gone from a size 14 to a size 4/6. Actually picked out an outfit to show off! Who would have guessed i am 44 years old. Am nervous about the reaction and all the questions. Husband is down 60 pounds on IP (official today) but somehow, he is not worried about his outfit.
Today, i could probably use a glass of wine. (We just put 3 bottles in the fridge for our guests - OUCH)
