Good morning Lady! You are always so "chipper" in the morning, it's fun to see your posts.
Hello ZuzeQ, I don't know what to say about the hunger since I'm pretty new at this myself, but I'm sure you'll get good advice from others here.
Good morning to all the other Beach Beauties as well.
I've seen people talking about Pilates, so I picked up a couple of video tapes last night, and plan on giving it a try. I don't know if there are any classes around here, but I won't feel comfortable going to class anyway until I shed a few (several) more pounds, so this will be a good way to start I think. I used to do yoga many years ago, and loved it, so I think I'll like Pilates....I really need something that will help me stretch and regain some limberness (lol, is that a word?).
Have a fabulous day all....drink your water and ignore temptations.
Good morning, Beach Babe Buddies! I'm actually taking my Girls to the real Beach this morning for a run. Let's hope they don't find dead fish to roll in.
Lady, you are so upbeat and positive! The only way to go, IMHO. And bravo on the luncheon trial - good control!
Zuze, your food looks just fine to me. Remember that you can have good fats on this plan. Be sure to use full fat mayo and olive oil in your salads. This may help ward off the hungries.
2dogs, let us know how Pilates works for you. I know about not going to class until you've lost. I did water aerobics a year ago and really had a problem with putting on a bathing suit. I got over it and thoroughly enjoyed the classes.
Yesterday was Day 1 of Phase 1 and I blew it by eating several small packets of Fair candies that were leftover. Grrrr! So silly! That won't happen again as I packed the big box away for the Terry Fox run in September. There is no such thing as just one for me when it comes to ju-jubes!
It's a lovely morning so I may do some gardening after our walk. I hope everyone has a lovely day on The Beach.
Sil~ I'm not surprised, not many people have heard of Hazlehurst. It's a small town somewhere between Atlanta & Jacksonville, FL.
Had a minor slip up yesterday in the form of 2 napoleans. Not too bad all in all. I am actually down 10 pounds since July 17th, which surprises me since I have not been really strict. When I do eat carbs. it's very hard to stop.
Zuze... your menu looks good to me! You'll be dropping weight in no time...welcome!
Twodog... I hope you enjoy the Pilates. I've never tried it either, but I LOVE yoga! And yes... I was the fattest person in my yoga class. But not NEXT year!!!
Ruth, what is it with dogs that they have to roll in rotting... THINGS!?
Hey, get on track today. Hear me, hon?
Welcome to Ellen and Val and Erika, and ... who've I missed... sort of feels like the Polka Dot Door when I come here.
I did REALLY well back on Phase I yesterday. No cheating at all, and this time I know what I'm doing.
Good morning everyone,
Ugh... I cheated last night... and on my first day too. but, I still lost 2.5 pounds since yesterday, and I vow to start today fresh and not feel guilty... It was the damn mini chocolate chips that I had opened for the mocha ricotta creme... The bag was open and calling to me... so today is afresh start, and I'll do great and drink lots of water! Day 2 today for me!
Oh, Jezebel, don't beat yourself up. I cheated badly yesterday and I'm supposed to be an experienced Beacher! Good work on the two pounds! Let's have a good Day 2 together.
(Plain baking cocoa powder works fine in the mocha dessert. I can't allow choclate in my house!)
Ellen~~~ Don't worry about posting late at night and feeling that nobody will see you. I believe that when most of us come here in the mornings, we read everything from yesterday that we might have missed . So please feel free to come here often, not just once a week, OK
Ruth~~~Back away from the Ju-jubes Are you sure that we are allowed FULL fat mayo? I thought Dr. A reccomended LOW fat foods over full or non fat ones Have a wonderful time with the "girls" at the beach today
Ellis~~It feels good to be back on track, doesn't it You go, girl
Lady~~Great job staying OP during the luncheon
Jez~~I can't use the choc chips for just that reason. It's a trigger food for me. And I want to know how thoses bags of chips learn our names
Sflake~~Way to go on losing 10 pounds
2Dog~~I have also been wanting to learn Pilates. I have a tape that I have only watched once. I need to work on that
SuzeQ~~Your menu looks fine to me. Keep up the great job
Let's stay OP today Come on, we are determined and motivated women here
I'm on Day 9 and feelin fine!! (poet..haha). Had a great day yesterday, trying to regroup from slacking a bit over the weekend.
Went to the gym yesterday for lower body workout and walked 2 miles this morning...going to the gym today for upper body.
I think I'm eating too much sodium, cuz I feel bloated and haven't seen any looseness with clothes yet... , but I know it will come...
